As a Cajun food lover, Uncle Mick's gives an authenticity to not only the food and flavor profile, but the atmosphere as well! The owner is a Louisiana native, so he is no stranger to the depth and vibrancy that Cajun food has to offer. There is never a time when I don't want Uncle Mick's Cajun! read more

I've been here twice, both times provided solid results. The interior feels like a place you'd find in the French Quarter. Their cafeteria setup brings a homey and inviting feel. The food is all you really care about, and all you need to know is they will give you free samples of everything out there! This makes for friendly service, while I didn't know what to do with the mini cup when I was done. I get the sampler platter every time, and the shrimp ala creme is the best so far. read more

Been here several times. Anytime we are in Prattville at a meal time we stop. It never disappoints. Neat place, with great food.... And they will let you sample so you know if you like it. I get the small plate ( 1 cup of main meal) and plenty of food! Husband gets the split plate two separate cups of main dish. I highly recommend!!!! read more

Delicious! Uncle Mick's is similar to a cafeteria as you walk up to order and see your food choices at the counter while holding your tray. They even let you sample the dishes if you can't decide or worried about spice. The best deal is to get a Split Regular Plate where you can pick two entrees and two sides. I got the Crawfish Étouffée and the Shrimp A'La Creme, and they were amazing. The family enjoyed the Tilapia in Lemon Butter and Crabmeat AuGratin, the Alligator & Sausage Piquant was a hit too. Meals come with a variety of side choices and with garlic bread or cornbread muffin which both are yummy! We had a big crowd (14) so we had a reservation and sat in the side room which provided plenty of space. The Christmas Market and events were going on so it was crowded, but Uncle Mick himself came out to help with the line. It is in a perfect location downtown Prattville and we enjoyed walking around the town with all the beautiful lights, then we enjoyed some yummy ice cream at a local coffee shop. read more

We were told about this place from a local and WOW! We are so happy we tried it out. We tried a little bit of it all and everything was amazing. Food, service, atmosphere all was top notch! read more

The food was good, although not necessarily anything extraordinary, and the restaurant has more of a cafeteria-style setup. The employees were very friendly and welcoming. One employee even brought mac and cheese out for all three of my kids. My kids also loved getting to decorate their own pumpkins. The friendly service and fun experience for the kids made it a nice stop for our family! read more

My coworker and I both had a good experience here. First off, I want to say it's cafeteria style dining. For some reason I didn't know this and was caught off guard when we arrived. Nothing wrong with it, just was not expecting it. The service here was excellent. Everyone was very inviting and friendly and offered samples of everything to make sure you got the right food. I think my favorite was the pecan pie. Haha. read more

Definitely worth driving 2-3 extra miles past the fast food options! Located in a cute downtown area, this restaurant is so good! Yummy Cajun food options and the meat and three options are yummy! Chicken and dumplings were very popular tasty. Highly recommend! read more

If you're in the mood for Cajun food, this is the place. I've worked in South Louisiana for years working in the offshore industry and I've come to love that food this place here in Prattville. It's pretty damn close as you're gonna get to it. I highly recommend if you like Cajun food to try this place. read more

Food was good. Could be a little confusing for a first timer. Able to get a table in a Friday night without reservation. read more

The atmosphere was so cute and the food was amazing! I don't remember the name of what I had but it was something like shrimp à la Crema or something up to that effect and it was the best. read more

We ate at Uncle Mick's this afternoon and really enjoyed the meat and three specials they have daily. $14.95 for a regular size plate and $12.95 for a smaller portion. This includes a meat and three vegetable, drink (tea or coffee, sodas are $1.00 extra, and a dessert. It's basically an order at the counter line and you have the option of seating inside or outside. The Staff were very friendly and helpful if you have any questions. The dining room was quaint and a little small but it was nicely decorated. The only negative thing I have, and it's not really that bad, but the food and drinks are served in/on paper products with plastic utensils. We enjoyed the stuffed bell pepper and chicken and dumplings. We'll be back. read more

Love the atmosphere and food is delicious. Staff treat you like family and very nice.great service and knowledgeable staff also professional read more

Great southern cooking! Gluten free options. Nice environment in downtown Prattville.

I can't say enough about this restaurant. More than just food it's the people that make it a great place that's stands above all others. The food is great don't get me wrong but I love the friendly atmosphere here that keeps people around. They always have fresh food that smells amazing. Sometimes I wish I was bigger so I could eat more. You absolutely have to give this place a try. Easily top 5 in all of Montgomery area. read more

The food was beyond good. I had the small plate w/ Shrimp a'la Cream and from the first bite, I was HOOKED! Green beans & peas as the sides. Both had been slow simmered which brought out a wonderful flavor and fresh texture. Even with the small plate I was comfortably full; so I got the German chocolate cake and it too was homemade and flavorful. FIVE out of FIVE Starsl read more

I've heard great things about Uncle Mick's for years and seconds after walking through the charming front door, I knew why. Uncle Mick's is located in historic downtown Prattville. The store front is a charming combination of old time benches, chairs, signs, birdhouses and plants. The inside is an eclectic mix of art, signs, and taxidermy. It has a homey feel. There's a turtle painted on the floor and a beautiful stained glass lamp in the ceiling. I was warmly welcomed and asked if I had ever been here before. Plates and options were explained and samples were passed my way. The food here is amazing and I had a hard time choosing. I wound up with a split regular plate. Crawfish étouffée and shrimp and sausage Alfredo were my split entree and black eyed peas and green beans were my sides. It was a lot of food and came with bread. These people know how to cook. If I closed my eyes, I could have been eating my mama's peas and beans. I ended with bread pudding with bourbon sauce. It's $6. It's worth every penny. Everything was delicious and the staff could not have been any nicer. Give Uncle Mick's a try. You'll be glad you did. You may want to wear adjustable pants. Just saying. read more

The food was great! The staff were friendly and Uncle Mick was super welcoming and friendly. The feel of the restaurant was welcoming and decor fit the vibe. It was a bit off our route, but so glad we stopped by and we will definitely be going back. read more

Been to Uncle Micks numerous times. It has been good every single time. There is a reason they were voted as one of the top ten restaurants in Alabama. When they have it, fish fry Fridays is a great choice. Plus Mick is a great owner. read more

We were on a day date and stopped in for lunch. The restaurant setting had a New Orleans feel. The service was excellent. The server recognized we were new to the Cafe and offered samples for us to try. Shrimp Creole was great. Shrimp a la creme was excellent. Chicken and dumplings were on the menu for the cold day. Those hit the spot. I like the way they offer the menu options. The choice is a small sample which is three items and two side, just smaller portions or you could do two larger servings with two sides. All come a choice of garlic bread or cornbread. read more

Went there about 2 times. Service was great. Food was great; but, you have to adjust your taste buds to Cajun food. The atmosphere is small inner city friendly with a personal touch. Go there and enjoy this small city restaurant. read more

Another great visit! The staff is so patient, welcoming, and giving. Uncle Mick himself came out and to greet our large group and even offered us ice cream sandwiches! This place is the stop for good home cooking and the atmosphere to go with it. You really feel cosy with all the fun decorations, a full tummy, and their warm smiles. read more

Uncle Mick's Cajun Cafe - Chicken and sausage in picante sauce with Cajun potato salad, cucumbers in dressing, and corn bread - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Prattville, Alabama

I'm not a huge Cajun fan but my husband is and we finally came down here to try it out and it was absolutely amazing!! The service is what sold me. The people who work here are so sweet and helpful. It was my first time and the gentleman at the counter gave me 3 samples of their popular dishes. Which really helped me in deciding. I got the chicken and sausage gumbo and it was to die for!! I loved the look and feel of the dining area too very homey. We will be back! read more

Amazing food and great customer service! A small quiet place down town highly recommend!

My husband and I had lunch here yesterday. The food was very delicious. You have many options on the menu to make a full-size plate, a small plate, whatever you desire, into a combo for lunch. I chose to have a small split plate and he had a regular split plate. The difference is in the size of the entrée. Menus are posted on the wall and they are also available online if you want to plan ahead. Everything has a Cajun vibe. Not everything is hot and spicy, but everything is extremely flavorful. There's nothing planned here. The people who work here are friendly and helpful. You don't have to wonder about anything, just ask. One thing to be prepared for though, is that you stand in line in order from a food line. It is not a buffet, but you get to see what you're ordering and the servings are standard. read more

This place is a great place. Please go there a have a meal you will not be disappointed. It is located in downtown with plenty of parking. The owner could not be more pleasant. She gladly provided samples of the food and suggestions. They have been in business for over 16 years. The best Cajun I have had even better than meals in New Orleans. read more

Uncle Mick's Cajun Cafe - Shrimp Creole with 2 Sides - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Prattville, Alabama

Noticed that Yelp had this place ranked high with a solid 5 star (actually 4.8) rating. Now that's quite remarkable. Never seen that before. Decided to give it a try even tho wifey was bucking it. Cajun is not her thing. Before we even left the hotel thumbs were turning south. Wifey had grilled tilapia with lemon sauce over white rice and a side of cole slaw. Warm corn bread was also provided. I had the sampler - 3 smaller portions of three items with two sides. Entrees were shrimp and mushroom in a light cream sauce over white rice, shrimp creole over white rice, and a sausage/chicken gumbo over brown rice. Each dish had a very distinct flavor. Shrimp/mushroom dish had an earthy flavor which I liked. The creole was classic, I could eat a pail of that combo. Sausage/chicken had a strong smoky flavor, it was very rich. I could not finish it. Green beans and red beans/dirty rice were my two sides. Green beans were way over cooked and very watery. Red beans/dirty rice did not have eye appeal. Garlic bread and corn bread were provided. Upside - food portions were generous and served hot. A big plus. Downside - eye appeal was lacking. I left the place satisfied and wondering what I would order next time. Wifey commented that I'd be going by myself, not her thing. Definitely worth a try. I would recommend taking your time when ordering. You feel pressure because there is a line behind you. Study the menu beforehand and have an idea of 1-3 things you would like to try. Sample before you order. Again, my sampler had three very distinct flavors. Highly recommend for the food and the decor. Beautifully decorated place. Gorgeous! read more

Stop what you're doing and read this. Best ever! SHRIMP A'LA CREME over dirty rice is the bomb!! Great service.

Saw their billboard on 65 and decided to try it. I'm absolutely blown away! Super friendly staff, they patiently explained what everything was and gave us samples since it was our first time here. Had the pasta orleans with Cajun potato salad. The pasta was great but the potato salad was a bit spicy for my taste but I can't complain since they offered a sample. Definitely recommend! read more

I have been here several times and it's always consistently good. I find it to be the best Cajun Food east of the Mississippi river.

I don't like eating off and using throw away utensils when out to dinner. This is a sit down Restuarant, not a fast food establishment. It is a nice restaurant decor wise, but it lacks in giving you the ambience of a Cajun restaurant. read more

Wonderful service and outstanding food. Test out what main course or side you like and chow down! Must try!

WOW simply a hidden gem the food was absolutely delicious highly recommended. I have lived here 3 years and this is the first time I've been here. Wasn't sure what I wanted but the staff provided samples. Will definitely be coming back regularly. read more

Excellent food and service. A true prattville gem. An experience you must enjoy when visiting downtown Prattville

This place never disappoints. Food is fantastic every single time. Lots of choices. Very friendly. Always clean. My favorite restaurant in the area. Worth going out of your way for. read more

Another great meal. Where else can you get shrimp, alligator, and crawfish, all in one tasty meal. Good portion sizes. Great sides. Healthy options, or full throttle, you choose your options. Tonight even had live music! Super friendly and helpful staff, happy customers. Quaint little spot, street parking, easy to get to. read more

Awesome food, great service. Highly recommend. Can't go often enough but so worth going.

Overpriced food. Stingy portion size. The "chicken and dumplings" had a MINISCULE amount of chicken, but the price for this and two sides waa $14.95 plus tax. The bread pudding was almost six dollars before tax for a stingy little serving size. All the food was mediocre tasting. Twenty-two dollars flushed down the toilet. read more

Fabulous! I gave this place a shot because of the reviews and wasn't disappointed. I was given several different samples of food and really enjoyed most of them. I wound up ordering a sampler of crawfish étouffée, shrimp a la creme, and shrimp creole. The flavor was great, albeit not as spicy as I tend to enjoy (but totally good!). I also got Lima beans, red beans and rice, and cornbread. It's a cafeteria style serving, but the food was really fresh. It's a cute little restaurant in the downtown strip, and the staff were wonderful. Plus, the price wasn't bad at all. I'm here for another several weeks and will definitely go back. read more

Friendly staff! Amazing food, been back twice since the first trip. If you are new to their restaurant let them know - they give taste tests to help you make a decision! Corn bread muffins are a must!!! read more
