This place is definitely out of my way since I went to Arizona for business purposes. But when I heard about this place and what they have to offer I definitely wanted to give it a try. I wish I didn't because now when I want it, I know it will be too far for me to go.
The first thing that caught my eye was the atmosphere which does give a Louisiana vibe (never been there). The next thing I noticed is the deep fried alligator, which I ordered with a side of rice and beans and sweet tea. I also ordered appetizers for my wife and I which included hush puppies, fried pickles, and fried green tomatoes.
The fried pickles were one of the best fried pickles my wife had had. The fried green tomatoes were very juicy and taste exactly what it is, which you know what I mean if you had fried green tomatoes. The hush puppies were decent and had more of a savory corn bread flavor.
The alligator itself was the best alligator I had (only had alligator two other occasions). It was perfectly fried and it tasted like alligator (not chicken!). I was also surprised with the rice and beans. This place actually put some effort into preparing they sides. They also offered free refills on the sweet tea which I couldn't get enough of.
If I could, I would go to this place at least once a week. Unfortunately for me it is a five hour drive from where I live. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by at this place again.
