Friday night we decided to try some Cajun food @ the Alligator Cafe!
The night started off a bit rough, we went to their Deep Ellum location and it was closed for remodeling, but Tameca was dead set on eating there so we drove to their Garland Road cafe!
Normally it's girls night but I brought the hubby and Tameca brought the kids!
Upon arriving I thought the cafe was small but decorated festively! There was a small corner for the live band, which I must say, they were a hit! There is a bar and an side outdoor eating area as well. Again, it's small so you will be close to your neighbor, so no secrets will go unheard!
So let's get to the food, I decided to order the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer because I was starving and I always love those wherever I go! I must say they were delicious! Oh yeah and I got a sweet tea of course!
For my entrée I got the blackened tilapia, "fresh tilapia blackened with their signature spice, topped w lots of shrimp in rich creamy shrimp sauce with white rice". My food arrived pretty promptly and looked very appetizing however, I did not like the fish at all, it was far too "fishy" tasting for my liking. The sauce, shrimp and rice was fair to good, so I ate that and left the tilapia!
If you choose to dine here you will be entering little New Orleans because their menu is very authentic in my opinion!
Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere, my appetizer, the company and loved the band! I always feel like a fun Friday night should include music and food together!
I don't think Cajun food has ever been a favorite of mine, I admit I have a sensitive palate, so the likelihood of me returning is slim to not happening! Plus I never got any refills on my sweet tea, so make sure you ask for refills!
