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

Lazy Gator - Girls night out! - Seafood Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

We had a short wait to be seated by the fun staff at the entrance but soooo worth the wait! Great beer selection, wonderful drinks,great service and food to die for. You need to go to Lazy Gator! 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!

One of my most favorite restaurants in Amarillo! Always delicious! Great service! Everything on the menu is great! You won't be disappointed! read more

This is the best lunch I have had in a very long time! I got the wedge salad with blackened salmon. It was so very good! The service was great. I will definitely be back next time I am in town. read more

Had some good fries and shrimp. The bread on the P.O. boy wasn't that good it was way too tough. Not the type of place to go on a budget.

Food was high priced, portions were small, and Nothing was wild caught on the menu. Pay$22 for a farm raised 1/4 pounder. Try Scotts oyster bar! Or drunken oyster, this place is below mediocre. read more

The Lazy Gator just didn't do it for me. The staff (hostess, waitress) were friendly, and they had one of my favorite beers on tap (Abita Purple Haze); however, this is a restaurant so the food should be front and center. I went with the Nola Nachos since other Yelpers recommended them. The serving was large, but several of the tortilla chips were burnt and others tasted like the lid came off the salt shaker. They had too much cheese, so much in fact that large areas of cheese weren't even melted. The meat was heavy on the jalapeño sausage, but light on the crawfish and shrimp. Maybe a cool place to hang out and watch the game (lots of TVs), but I cannot recommend it for food. read more

Catching lunch here before heading home. Started with the gator appetizer- the sauce is good but lite on spice. I ordered the mango jalapeño tuna, medium rare. The tuna was fresh but the sauce was more like a sweet jelly. I was expecting some sweetness with the mango, but this was more than I expected. My brother in law tried the black cat and loved it. Mom ordered the seared shrimp and my wife tried the soup and salad - the soup was the shrimp and scallop chowder. Both of them agreed it was good but short of great. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and worth another visit. read more

Love the owners, they are really good people. The food is great! I like the area it is located in too, really convenient for me!

I have only been to Lazy Gator once. But my children, G.Kids and I all enjoyed it immensely. The atmosphere is casual and family oriented. The menu is full of varied and interesting items and our food was delicious! I recommend this eatery whole heartedly! read more

Great food. One of the best bloody mary's I've ever had! Attentive wait staff and not too expensive. We'll be back!

Really good. And I don't like seafood so that's saying something. The chicken sandwich I had was flavorful and fresh. Not tough or fishy. The appetizers and drinks were good too. And waffle dessert ended everything amazingly. Will be back. read more

Absolutely love the food here. The Swamp Fries are my favorite. Love the fried gator and the fried catfish. My last visit I tried the Mud Fish dish and oh my it was scrumptious. Staff very attentive and friendly. If you haven't eaten here you need to make it your next stop. read more

Came for lunch. I had the fried catfish and my husband had the blackened. There was so much I couldn't get it all and my hubby liked the blackened catfish. Service was excellent and the owner/manager came over to see if were please with the food & service. We will be going back to eat again read more

Went there to celebrate a fruend's birthday. Decor is so-so casual. Table was a rock'n'roller - needed to be replaced which was odd considering the restaurant is fairly new. Ordered calamari on the appetizer. There were 6 fish-stick looking things that could not be identified as calamari. Didn't really taste like it. $9 for this appetizer. Remoulade was good. Shrimp po'boy was ok - nothing special. Not on my top 10 Cajun places. read more

The gator bites were cooked way to long... only 3 pieces were large enough to be tasty. I'm sure if the entire order could have been better. The sauce is very tasty and improved the over cooked appetizer. The fried catfish was amazing and well worth the wait for the waffle sweet potato side. The pasta dish that I chose had a spicy cajun sauce and the flavor was wonderful but it was light on the seafood. Overall I would try again when I have more disposable income. The manager did visit 3 of the 4 table being served at the time then made a second tour to visit a new table and back to the bar. The server that attended our questions and meal was amazing and I admired her attentive kindness. read more

Good options on the menu. Slightly over priced and took a little longer than expected to receive our food, but worth the wait. Had the fried waffle with salted caramel ice cream for dessert as recommend by the waitress and it was delicious! read more

How disappointing! We called today to place a to go order which they are not currently taking - ok. My husband went in and sat at the bar and ordered our poboys - a Cajun born in Louisiana was excited about home town food. The catfish was ok - but overall VERY disappointing especially since we ordered shrimp. After driving all the way back to Canyon - we decided it wasn't worth the effort to go back. And who puts cole slaw on poboys - yuck! We thought that was an extra side. Next time will ask for it dressed like back home! Wrong order and very minimal amount of fish on poboy! Disappointing! read more

A shopping center surprise with excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend

Fabulous. Scallops are to die for and baked oysters were beyond. Smoky and flavorful. Gumbo has a nice roux that you rarely see in restaurant fare. Overall it is a great experience and service is on point. They didn't rush us even though they had a rush of customers. Highly recommend and can't wait to try everything on the menu. read more

I can't really recommend this place. It's more of a sports bar that sells cajunish food. They had things like catfish and alligator but I don't recall other stuff like jambalaya or red beans are rice which are Cajun staples. I had the gumbo and it came on more of a plate than bowl and there really wasn't much food. It tasted like some sort of canned or mix they threw together. The flavor really was bland with a good amount of spice to cover it up. The service was good and our waitress was kind. And that was about the only good thing about the place. I most likely won't go back. read more

So excited to FINALLY have some seafood options in Amarillo! Every time we visit a new place, we try to check out several different menu items and share so you can get a decent variety. This time we had Blue point oysters on the 1/2 shell, (so good!!! The horseradish will light you up too!) jalapeño scallops (absolutely MUST try these!) blackened Mahi Mahi... be sure to spring for the extra white sauce topping. Well worth it!!! And, crawfish po-boy. Everything was exceptional. I can't wait to go back! read more

The scallop appetizer is amazing. Inexpensive drinks, good portion sizes and Nice atmosphere and good food!!

First time eating here had a gator poboy with gator fries it was really good and they have an excellent waiting staff,Definitely going back to try more food. read more

The service was great! They have call ahead seating which I love. The blue cheese burger was great! The gator appetizer was a good but kinda pricey for the quantity, but I've never had gator before. Overall a good experience. We will be back! read more

Get anything but the oysters - I had really high hopes for this place and was excited to see an oyster po boy on the menu. I love fried oysters and have eaten them in all the gulf states as we lived in Georgia for a decade. We ordered take out for the family and ordered a variety of things. My oyster po boy was not edible at all. The oysters first off did not look right and were rounded like elongated eggs. They looked like under cooked cheddar peppers, but unfortunately tasted far far worse than they looked. They were nauseating. I gave my large dog who eats everything one and he actually spit it all out after three chews. I called the manager just to let him know, and not wanting anything out of my complaint. He was nice but admitted they come frozen and battered. I suggested they remove them from the menu because they are literally that bad. The other items were enjoyable to everyone else: pasta, shrimp po boy. I also thought the gumbo while it had a nice kick tasted sweet for some reason and it shouldn't be. read more

Awesome food, and great service. The only thing that I can find to complain about, is the shrinking of my belt!

Everything I have tried on the menu has been amazing! I've had the Lazy Gumbo, Gator Fries (with cheese, bacon, and jalapeños) and it was all amazing! read more

Portions were extremely small. The catfish dinner was the equivalent of a chicken nugget happy meal, and it was $16. Won't be back until I hear this is corrected. read more

Great gator I have had it multiple time now and it has been great each time. Service is always great and the atmosphere is fun. Great place to get together with friends and have a drink or take the family to for dinner read more

First visit and not sure we will be back. Drinks came fast and meal came soon after we finished our salads. I had mahi mahi and it was a little dry but tasty. Small portion but got full with the rice and key lime pie which was good but small for the price. Husband had new steak on menu and it was chewy and grisly. Said worst steak he has had in Amarillo. Service was good. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place. Our server was very attentive. We started with the swamp fries. So good!!! We both had a Po' Boy (I had the fried shrimp and he had the fried gator) and they too were very good. We will definitely go back! read more

The Cajun Alfredo didn't have to much flavor. The boiled shrimp was good. Pretty fast service.

Took my family of 4 here. The service was good and the food was good, but the prices were way too high for the food we had. $83 for 2 salmon plates, a kid quesadilla, a Cajun pasta bowl, 2 salads and a beer. I can get the same portions and quality in town for $50 in the same setting of restaurant. Probably won't be back at these prices. Too bad since it's something different for Amarillo. read more
