Lafayette City Grill

Welcome to Lafayette City Grill, the most recent addition to downtown Lafayette's community of locally owned independent restaurants.Jim Drummond first contemplated his initial concept for Lafayette City Grill late in 2004. In January of '05, when the ground floor of the recently renovated Wallace Motor Co. Building became available, he accelerated his plans to open a new independent restaurant in downtown Lafayette.As he put together a business plan and slowly built on the receptive responses of individual investors, he began to assemble a crew. And what a crew! Several of the current staff members came on board early and worked through the inevitable construction delays by pitching in, contributing to the effort of this new creation wholeheartedly. The server or bartender or manager who guides you through your Lafayette City Grill experience - or the person who's polishing your glassware - may very well have built the table you sit at, or refinished the bar your glass rests on, wired the speakers for the music you're enjoying, or laid the tile on the bathroom floor across which your well heeled shoes might click or your sneakers squeak.Lafayette City Grill opened its doors to the public in February of 2006; roughly a year after our efforts began. We've received much support and positive response from the community and from our guests, for which we all are very grateful. And as new members join our staff, they quickly become invested too - organized around the common goal of making your experience here the best they know how to make it.
