Ate here yesterday passing through Amarillo... the food was hot, fresh and delicious! Kimmy, our bartender/server was on point! We will definitely make this our favorite restaurant when we pass through Amarillo again read more

My husband and I love "Good" cajun food. It is often hard to locate. We definitely found it.! We had the mambo trio. (fried gator, fried fish, fried shrimp.) it was so crispy and lightly battered and cooked to perfection . It is a little spicy, but just enough to make it the best tasting seafood. The french fries are so crispy and Light, just scrumptious. The wedge house salad is made with Romaine lettuce and a balsamic drizzle with bacon, etc. it is fabulous. The waitress couldn't have been more helpful and tentative. She helped us a bit with making our decision of what we ordered according to what we had told her we preferred. As we were there for the first time she brought us a small cup of their gumbo. Flavors in the gumbo are so complex wonderful. Everything was just the right amount of spice and seasoning. The ambience was a cool Cajun by. There were TVs for not wanting to miss a game, etc., and a a small bar where I saw s a bartender making beautiful cocktails. We normally do not have dessert. However, we boxed our entrée, to go home with us so we could have room for their Belgian waffle dessert. Let me tell you we were glad we did. The dessert was gourmet.! This is a local family owned business which I love to support. We will be back! We are from Oklahoma. read more

Excellent place great food great staff! Background music would be the only critique! The dessert was also amazing

I have always loved my experience here! I have gotten both to-go and eaten at the bar. The gumbo is amazing. The roux is so authentic and warm. The service is so kind and inviting. You can tell the culture among the staff is one that keeps people coming back. They are so welcoming. Thank you! Also, the bread pudding is insanely good :) read more

Great $8 burger deals on Monday nights! Really great curbside service, very friendly! We will be back.

Service was good, food was great for a first time experience. We will definitely try a second time. When in Amarillo stop and give them a try. read more

Food is good not great but well worth the cost Service was friendly, courteous and helpful. The atmosphere was ok. The management comes to your table and ask if thiers any problems and is everything to satisfaction. He actually gave me a free margarita because I stated that this had way to much ice. read more

We go here at least 2-3 times a month. The burger special is great. I love the mudcat grilled. My husband like the Cajun ribeye and the beer selection. It's a great local place. read more

Place had a great atmosphere. Perfect place to take the family. Their food was amazing. Could not complain about anything. Also, the service was phenomenal. read more

Good food and friendly. I didn't like their online order process but the manager took my order over the phone and delivery was fast.

Great food and service, menu is amazing! Owner is always there and involved!! Great change of pace in Amarillo!!

Took a friend there for her birthday in the evening. It was her choice. I have to eat gluten free so the few "GL" designations were helpful but it would be nice to have more options. My friend chose the Lazy Susan which looked good and ample for the $19.99 fee. I chose the Blue Cheese Wedge (GF) $5.99 and added grilled shrimp. I was disappointed that I was charged an extra $12 for only five small shrimp to be added on top. I expected more! It looked more like an appetizer and was charged $17.98 for it verses $5.99 on the menu for just the salad which was about 6 x 3 inches long with a sprinkle of tomatoes and too much dressing. We also got two hurricanes and one Peanut Butter Pie (GF). I didn't care for the hurricane drink but my friend (a younger person) liked it. The dessert was just ok. I wouldn't order it again. All fees charged were more than printed on the actual menu so expect to pay more than what is posted. Service was just ok (Ester). Got the job done but not much else. Nothing personable not even a smile. The table was sticky and felt dirty with an icky feeling. I won't go back unless it's for my friend's request for her birthday again and then I might beg to differ. Our bill without gratuity was almost $70! Too expensive for mediocre! read more

I am sure it was an off night. Both of our entrees were overcooked: the salmon and Ahi Tuna. We had excellent service. We will certainly give them a try again, but may try more traditional Cajun items. read more

Everything is great here! The food and service are some of the best! Love the bread pudding, calamari, pasta, soup are all great

We went in a little bit late, but they treated us just as great as anybody.\n It was our first time eating there and we had lots of questions. Our waiter Thomas was phenomenal. He answered all of our questions and help us find a meal that would be perfect for us. And it was He nailed it. He was so friendly and professional and met every need we possibly had with a smile and I loved how interested he seemed to see how our visit went as we ate a bunch of new foods that we had never tried. Thank you, Thomas for being absolutely amazing and in helping our date night. The frog legs were so good the gator was perfect and the fish was melt in your mouth good. And crazy affordable with leftovers too. We will be back for sure :) read more

Waitress was great! The food is always a hit at lazy gator, there's not a bad meal on the menu. 10/10 read more

Great service, good menu with lots of choices. My shrimp was fabulous. HH ordered gumbo and a grilled cheese sandwich. Gumbo tasted great but was served too cool. For effort i give 5 stars. read more

Great food, great prices, great service! Definitely recomendable their lunch specials! And their 3 dollar margaritas are awesome.

Our service wasn't the best but the atmosphere and food were great! First time hearing about this place so we stopped in. Kid friendly! *I would love to see the baby changing station lowered in the bathroom though, I'm 5'6 and was still a bit on my tippy toes trying to a change a diaper!!* read more

Food was great as always and the bar tender was attentive and a great conversationalist!! Seemed like a neighborhood experience!!

The cheese fries are spectacular! Pretty good service, the lady wasn't as attentive with our drinks as I would have preferred but what I assume was the owner or manager stepped in and filled them up for us. Overall would definitely recommend and will come back next time we want Cajun food read more

Stopped here for lunch when passing through Amarillo. Nice bar with great service. Lots of TVs for watching sports. Gator tacos and blue cheese wedge with fried shrimp were tasty. Portions were reasonably sized for the price. read more

Our family has been regular patrons of this local establishment. Unfortunately, the last 2 or 3 visits have caused me to rethink our loyalty. Every aspect of Lazy Gator's quality has declined. No longer are catfish filets offered, they no serve LG fish??? Fried catfish is now fish nuggets? Jambalaya now tastes like a precooked dish coming out of a bag in the box. We will never come back, as there are too many good local restaurants to support. Service is fine; but food quality is similar to chain restaurants. read more

Had the sunrise snapper, should be called sunrise jerky, extremely tough, not flaky. Very disappointed in the entrées.

Food was terrific but the real five star experience was having Brady as our waiter. We aren't exaggerating when we say it's the best service we have had in a long time! Highly recommend. read more

The food was amazing! My hubby had the Lazy Susan, that was just the right amount of heat! I had a beef cutlet with Cajun white sauce, green chilis and shrimp on top of season fries (can't remember the name) it was scrumptious and the ($3) margaritas were great. We chatted with the owner who is super nice. And the waffle desert was chefs kiss and the topping off to make this a great dinning experience. Nice, clean,enjoyable and laid back atmosphere with an emphasis on great service. Best experience overall in such a long time. Please give them a whirl! You won't regret it! read more

Business lunch. The facility was clean and the staff was friendly. I had the gumbo and salad and it was plenty for lunch. The menu is extensive! read more

I've had mixed experiences here. I've gotten curbside pickup food a couple times and food was great, but last time I went in and ate and got the fish and chips because I've been hearing from friends that it was really good here and it was always sold out early before I got off work (during lent). Well the fries were cold and fish wasn't cooked very well it was still kinda mushy. Our service was good though the waitress was very nice. I will probably give them another shot and hope it's better next time. read more

Every time we have visited it's always great! Quickly becoming our favorite place in Amarillo! Great TV's, awesome menu, bar, fun atmosphere, family friendly, clean, super service and excellent food! read more

I had the fish and chips. It was fabulous. The house tarter sauce was the best. The fries topped it off. When I asked for my check, the bartender asked me if I would like to have another drink because the owner had bought a round on the house for everyone. And I said, of course! read more

Great bartender today, Makenna! She was very efficient and extremely friendly even when we noticed a couple stiffed her. Atta girl, keep it moving Music was right up our alley! As for food, DELICIOUS! read more
