About Laura's 2 Soul Food
Laura's 2 Soul Food sits at 1904 W University Ave in Lafayette and serves Cajun Creole food with a soul food focus. The kitchen turns out home-cooked plates for dine-in or takeout, and catering is available by phone. Hours run Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Monday is closed.
The menu leans into the kind of food that lands warm on the table. Fried catfish, shrimp and grits, stuffed turkey wings, rice and gravy, and meatball stew appear among the house dishes. Okra shows up too, along with fried pork chop and seafood okra. Drinks include bottled soda and iced tea or lemonade. The food is built for a midday meal, with plates that come out hot and steady.
The kitchen also serves lunch plates with rice and gravy and two sides on some items. That keeps the meal centered on the main dish, with the sides filling out the plate in the way this style of cooking expects. A separate extra cup of gravy is on the menu for diners who want more sauce on the side. The list changes by day, with Monday pop-up specials and Tuesday specials marked on the menu.
The dining room includes wheelchair-accessible seating, and the entrance, car park, and toilet are wheelchair accessible as well. The business holds a 4.7 rating from 501 reviews.

Cajun Creole, served simply
Laura's 2 Soul Food is a Cajun Creole restaurant built around home-cooked food. The kitchen serves meals for dine-in and take out, so a guest can sit down for a lunch break or carry the order home. The page also points to catering, which adds a separate way to use the kitchen for gatherings or work meals.
The food style matters here. Cajun Creole cooking often leans into seasoned rice, gravy, seafood, and slow-cooked meats, and the restaurant keeps that home-cooked direction at the center of the visit. A first-time guest can plan for a meal that feels direct and filling, then choose the setting that fits the day. Dine-in suits a quick stop at the table. Take out works when the meal needs to travel.
Catering gives the restaurant a broader role without changing the core focus. It keeps the same kitchen identity, but shifts it toward larger orders and planned meals. That makes the page useful for someone looking for a soul food restaurant Lafayette visitors can use in more than one way, from a weekday lunch to food for a group. A catering order starts with a call, then moves into planning the amount of food and the timing of the pickup or delivery arrangement. The meal itself still comes from the same kitchen, so the flavors and portions stay tied to the restaurant’s regular cooking rather than a separate event menu. For a lunch stop, the order is simpler. Choose dine-in or take out, then plan around the midday window that fits the day.
Find the front door
The restaurant sits at 1904 W University Ave in Lafayette. That address places it on a main city road, so the location is easy to name and simple to plan around before leaving home or work. A driver can head straight to the address, park, and move toward the entrance without extra steps.
Hours are clear. The restaurant is closed on Monday. From Tuesday through Sunday, it opens from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Those are lunch hours, and they shape the visit. Arrive within that window for dine-in, or time a take out order so the meal is ready during the middle of the day. A midday stop works well for people who need a short break, since the service window is narrow and centered on lunch.
Access is part of the visit too. The site includes a wheelchair-accessible car park, a wheelchair-accessible entrance, wheelchair-accessible seating, and a wheelchair-accessible toilet. That combination gives a wheelchair accessible restaurant Lafayette guests can approach, enter, and use with the same route in mind from parking to table to restroom. The path is direct: park, enter, choose a seat, then stay for the meal or carry it out after ordering.
