My friends took me here for dinner and it was awesome. If I remember correctly you used a Groupon coupon. Their prices are very reasonable even without them and I'm a tightwad. Deafly try Lazy gator read more

We had the gator cheese fried, mango tuna with Cajun rice, and grilled gator streak with fried okra. The service was pretty fast. We were happy with our food especially the tuna streak, which tasted really sweet. Friendly staff and casual atmosphere. read more

Lazy Gator - Pitcher of Island Time at Lazy Gator. - Seafood Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

I hate to leave this message as Lazy Gator has become a popular choose by my family. Every other experience has been wonderful but Courtney (cook/manager/?) and Ester (waitress) ruined our experience. My mother and I both ordered the chargrilled wedge salad, mine with grilled shrimp. My mother did not want meat on her salad. As you can see in the image below, there are no chargrilled blackened lines from the grate of the grill. The edges of the lettuce are a darker green, wilted look as if some heat was applied but no where chargrilled. The chargrilled wedge salad is actually more expensive than a regular wedge salad so I asked our waitress to remove the chargrilled cost. My mothers salad also came out with shrimp on it which increased the cost. We did not ask that to be taken off but rather just informed the waitress of the mistake. I benefitted from the mistake and got extra shrimp, easily removed from her salad and added to mine. Not a big deal. The chargrilled does actually change the entire flavor of the salad so it was disappointing. My complaint comes in with Courtney behaving as a manger/cook comes to our table and said she personally grilled the lettuce and repeated that with any correspondence from us. She then pointed to the green wilted edges and said see it was chargrilled. I was frustrated at this point and said I can see you personally placed the lettuce on the grill but you didn't press it or leave it long enough then because it obviously had no grilled lines. She shrugged her shoulders, repeated again that she personally cooked our salads and knows it was cooked correctly as she walked away. I guess she is the only cook on a Sunday lunch rush because that would be the only way she would know she cooked it. So I will allow she cooked it, she needs some better training then. Like I said earlier, our experiences here have always been wonderful but these two ladies ruined our lunch this day. Even if Courtney personally chargrilled the salad, we weren't happy with it. Her smart mouth and bad attitude was absolutely hateful from the moment she walked up to our table until she walked away. The waitress being about as bad as her. Then we get the check and guess what...we paid for extra shrimp (which I did eat so fair game) and chargrilled cost for both salads. The least that could have been done is just remove the grilled cost and say I am sorry you weren't happy this time around. The younger group of workers have been a joy to deal with and the two older ladies waiting tables at lunch that day were full of attitude. One of them didn't wait on us but you could see it in the way she carried herself and spoke to her tables by us. We have also had her before, they both just carry themselves like they are pissed off at the world. This is my first review on a restaurant I have ever done. And I hate it being one of my favorite places but Courtney managing/cooking the older ladies waiting tables, we won't be back. Date 07/09/20023 @ 12:18:52PM, Server Ester and ID#0391478 Hopefully an appropriate manager or own will see this and address the issues. If not, these 3 will ruin the business. That is how bad they are. read more

So good! I had the shrimp ok boy w sweet potato fries; hubs had Cajun burger. He thought it is was amazing. Kids crushed the okra. They also have good kid sides like steamed broccoli. Their ranch also tasted homemade! Great service! read more

All there food comes out of the freezer. Over priced TV dinner food. Go to Sams and buy your own frozen food read more

Not very comforting to walk in and the aroma is that of deep fryers churning away. The selections we made all had that, should we change the fry oil this month kind of taste. read more

One of the best Cajun restaurants in Amarillo. Had a lot of options and the food is pretty good and well seasoned. The shrimp Alfredo Cajun was very flavorful and not spicy even the waitress warned me that it might be. read more

The food was good and the staff was friendly which all in all made for pleasant visit. The dining room is a little uncomfortable with a large number of bar stool tables so don't expect a comfy cozy atmosphere where you can chill for long period of time. The biggest reason I didn't give them five stars though was the lack of that one thing I was craving that I have never seen a Cajun restaurant failed to provide. Where was the red beans and rice? read more

Highly recommend this place. Out standing service and food. I love crawfish ettoufe!!! (Spelling) Had one of the best ribeyes of my life one night. Be sure and ask for any special. read more

It's a great atmosphere to have a beer and watch a game. The food was ok. I had the catfish poboy. I found it kinda of bland. Staff very friendly though so overall I'd give it a 3. read more

I absolutely LOVE the lunch specials! The seafood chowder is phenomenal! A little spicy but not so much that it takes away from the flavor. The Chiltons are super tasty and the pretty cream point is right on!! I love this restaurant! Never had anything I didn't like from here! Try the nachos too! read more

We're old, so we try to eat healthy. I had the wedge salad sans anything "cheese," and it's salmon. Salmon was cooked PERFECTLY! Scallops were AMAZING and grilled shrimp was spot on. We'll be back. Adding this to our list of favorites! read more

Very good and always busy. That speaks for itself. Delicious gumbo and chowder! Blackened scallops are not to be missed!

Very disappointed with our visit. We waited for at least 30 mins for a table to have someone that just walked in with a similar name take our table, and the hostesses only answer was for us to wait another 15 mins. Got to the table and didn't have anyone check on us for another 20 mins. The girl that finally checked on us was very nice, but didn't put our drink orders in the first time so we waited another 20 mins for a drink (they weren't that busy at 3:00 on a Saturday). Food was semi prompt, gumbo was mediocre at best, at least my wife's shrimp had a good portion for the price. All in all, won't go back. read more

We had the ghost pepper fried cheese as an appetizer. Not as hot as it sounds, has a good flavor with just the right amount of heat. The mahi sandwich I had after was great. Is had ghost pepper sauce on it also. Again great flavor with the right amount of heat. If you like mixed drinks you have got to try the swamp water, stuff is delicious. read more

Guy who took the order over the phone was nice, precise, checked to make sure he got it all correct and they did get it correct. If the to go drinks were a decent size and if the jalapeno green chile burger had had a good amount of either on it this would have been 5 stars. Live that they will give you a medium burger that is beautifully pink. More jalapenos and green chile was all the burger needed to be 'bout perfect. read more

Stopped by for a quick meal and a beer. The shrimp and crawfish Alfredo pasta was amazing. My only complaint was the location.

Glad we decided to try this place , Greeted at the door , food was exactly as ordered and really good ! Definitely would recommend!!

This place is phenomenal. The Cobb salad is delicious even for those who don't like veggies. The gumbo is on the spicy side, but still great. The salmon is my favorite, as well as the alligator nuggets. The service is always great and we haven't found a single thing we don't like on the menu. Definitely worth a try!!! read more

We ordered the catfish and it was amazing. They surprised us with a free appetizer with a friendly note written on the top of the box. It was a sampler and was delicious. read more

SO GOOD! We are visiting from TN and this place is FANTASTIC! Highly recommend anything with the Alfredo!

You know service is great when someone opens the door and greets you! I tried the shrimp étouffée and it was spicy and delicious!!! Service was great, food prices were reasonable, and beer cheap! read more

We came on a busy Saturday night. We waited about 20 minutes or so for seating. They did have a lot of Cajun food options including gumbo, alligator, po boys. I ordered a Cajun pasta. The flavor was generic, but the pasta was GREASY. I've never had greasy pasta before. I could literally scoop the oil out of the pasta with my spoon. Clearly, the sauce had separated and meal was probably reheated. It was not worth the price or hype. read more

Pretty expensive and low quality seafood. For a place with Gator in its name one would expect great gator. Unfortunately, it was the opposite. Frozen. Rubbery. However, they have rather good burgers and sides. The unique takes they have on Ghost peppers and Carolina reapers were a fun experience. read more

They just opened the week of May 21, 2018. Went there on May 24th. Husband and I shared the fried catfish. Was really great. Tartar sauce was approved by him(he's really picky). Staff friendly. Had the peel and eat shrimp also. All very good. Can't wait to return and try the Sea Bass and Salmon! read more

Absolutely fabulous food. You must do the jalapeño blackened scallops - appetizer. My husband said next time we are in Amarillo he's getting two orders of it. I would love to see it as an entree with maybe a baked potato and broccoli. Guaranteed winner! I cannot sing their praises enough. The proprietor was so very personable, the entire staff was so friendly. Keep it up Lazy Gator, you have a winning combination. read more

Tried this place for the first time with some friends and it was great. The Cajun shrimp Alfredo was delicious and so were the nachos. The atmosphere was great for groups or just a casual night out. Our waitress was extremely nice and really quick. I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

The Lazy Gator is a great place to eat. My wife ordered the cajun alfredo and let me say....they do it better than Olive Garden. The alligator gumbo is delicious too. Good place to eat. Staff is friendly and food comes out pretty quick. read more

Went in Sunday evening and had an excellent fried oyster po' boy with fries. My friend had fried catfish. Both of our meals were delicious and our server was very attentive. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu. read more

Great boiled shrimp appetizer, grilled shrimp Po'boy sandwich was delicious. Tropic thunder drink was delicious too.

2nd time this week that I ate here. 1st time was fine. 2nd time I invited friends and was disappointed. Waitress forgot to bring ketchup until I had to leave my table to ask her for ketchup. When she brought it, she was rude to my party. Still tipped her 25%. The appetizer was cold and the shrimp was cold by the time I received the ketchup for it. I was about to make this my new resturaunt once again, but after the rude waitress, I'm not returning. 6/19/21 read more

This is one of the only two Cajun places to my knowledge in town and I will honestly say that my expectations were very high walking in. I had already visited the other Cajun place in town, frequented it even and their flavors always blow me away, so naturally I was expecting really good food. We ordered some gumbo and their gators fries, and they were ok, the fires were fresh as was the queso on them but both were very under seasoned, as was our entree. The restaurant was clean and the service was good, but I was very saddened by the lack of flavor in their dishes especially after have had some great Cajun good before. read more

We just ate at the Lazy Gator and I had the fried shrimp and it was amazing! No heavy breading, just lightly breaded and it tasted amazing! My husband had a hamburger and he loved it as well. read more

I had the Black Cat Bayou. Excellent. Not too spicy to enjoy but a hint of spice. Server was attentive and took good care of us. Definitely will go back. read more

I have to say this restaurant is fantastic! The Swamp Fries have moved into my Mt. Rushmore of restaurant food items. The atmosphere was great as well as the service. I would recommend the Lazy Gator to anyone contemplating eating in Amarillo! read more

Best Cajun food in Amarillo! The gumbo is the closest thing to New Orleans you'll find in Amarillo. Plus, they have Abita beer!
