    Gator Bites
    Quinton F.

    Coonyon's Restaurant Review My dad raved about Coonyon's and wanted to take us there for dinner tonight. We settled in and placed our orders -- I had a small cup of gumbo and a small red beans and rice, Dad ordered the gator bites, and my wife and mother both went with the shrimp and cheese grits. Having spent many years traveling through seven different states, including plenty of time in Louisiana and New Orleans, I've had my share of gumbo. To put it kindly, this wasn't one of the better ones. It lacked the dark roux that gives gumbo its signature flavor, had very little liquid, and mostly consisted of chunks of chicken and okra over a pile of rice. The gator bites were probably the best thing I tried -- even though I only tasted one, it was quite good. The red beans and rice were decent, with the highlight being the sausage, though there were only three or four very thin slices. I'd love to find that sausage again! The shrimp and grits I sampled had good, creamy grits, tasty shrimp, and a tomato-based étouffée-style sauce that worked well together. The waitress was prompt, the food arrived hot and on time, and overall it was a decent experience -- but not quite what I'd consider a true Cajun restaurant.

    It's worth seeking out this unassuming building with a somewhat hard to navigate parking lot for some of the best Cajun food I've tasted! We started with boudin balls and Louisiana brewed beer and enjoyed crayfish etouffe, shrimp with cheesy grits, and shrimp creole. Everything was attractively plated and there was very little left on anyone's plate after we dug in. The seasoning was perfect! Heat was just right! I wish we would have had room for dessert! Our server managed our fairly busy section of the dining area effectively and cheerfully!!

    Shrimp creole.....rich well seasoned tomato-based sauce over rice

    Small homey place, real cajun bayou food at reasonable price, loved it! Waitress was friendly and made you feel welcome, obviouky loves her job.. Warning: parking lot is 1-way :-)

    We always have amazing food when we visit cooyans. I just wish there were a few healthier options on the menu for me.. But their menu is wonderful. My husband loves it.
