In an exciting development for Lafayette’s culinary scene, a vibrant new tenant has emerged to rejuvenate the former Dat Dog location in Downtown Lafayette. Jim Deggy’s Brick Oven Pizza and Brewery, a grunge-themed establishment infused with rich family history, has stepped into the spotlight after the space sat dormant for nearly three years.
According to Kevin Blanchard, the resurgence of this downtown hotspot underscores Lafayette’s growing reputation as a hub for good food, great company, and memorable experiences. With its unique blend of delectable pizza, wings, salads, and a warm family-friendly atmosphere, Jim Deggy’s promises to be a welcoming destination for patrons of all ages.
Owner Paul Everett has poured his heart and soul into every aspect of the restaurant, infusing it with cherished family narratives and personal anecdotes. The name “Jim Deggy’s” pays homage to Everett’s grandfather, fondly known as “Jim” within the tight-knit community.
Reflecting on his military service and the sacrifices made while being away from his children, Everett emphasizes the importance of family and togetherness. With his son by his side, Everett painstakingly crafted and designed every detail of the restaurant, fostering a sense of closeness and collaboration.
As Jim Deggy’s opens its doors to the Lafayette community, Everett looks forward to spending quality time with his family and creating lasting memories with his children. With a select menu available during Festival International, the restaurant invites locals and visitors alike to savor its offerings and experience the warmth of Lafayette hospitality.
