| - We found this gem purely by luck. I am crazy about seafood and Cajun food and so happy these guys do it right. The inside of the restaurant might be a little too loud and touristy for some. By loud, I don't mean noisy, but more like bold and colorful in terms of the decor. Service is fast and courteous.
For appetizers, I highly recommend the gator tail. It's listed as a "seasonal" item, but it really isn't seasonal, they have it at all times. They just list it as seasonal in case they don't get a supply of gator, which happened like, once in the past few years. The other really good appetizer to try is the rat toes. Unlike the gator tail, which really is the tail of an alligator, thankfully, the rat toes are not what they are called. They are jalapeƱos stuffed with shrimp and crab meat and then battered and deep fried. They are really good!
Their shrimp po' boy is possibly the best po' boy I've ever had. It's loaded with shrimp (see photos) and so satisfying! We have also tried their "gumbeaux" (good ol' gumbo), Stuffd Shrimp Great (shrimp filled stuffed with crab meat, served over rice with a rich creamy sauce) and Shrimp En Brochette (bacon and jalapeƱo wrapped shrimp over dirty rice). They've all been really good. These guys also have an assortment of desserts and mixed drinks, none of which we have actually tried yet, but they look good, especially the Gator Punch (description from their menu -- "killer trashcan drink with 6b liquors in a fish bowl") -- and it really is HUGE!
Overall a very nice, authentic Cajun place. We are totally in love with it!
