I would stop here again if I was in the area. This place looked a little bit like a tourist attraction and it probably was but the food was excellent and the service was even better.

We travel with our kids and the were made to feel right at home. When we travel we try to stay away from the chain restaurants so we can experience a little bit of the local cuisine. Here we ate alligator. It was an appetizer called "gator bites". My wife and I had never had alligator before so we thought this would be a good time to try it out. Although it wasn't my favorite it wasn't bad either.

Alligator texture is kind of like fatty pork. It did kind of melt in your mouth. We were told it was the tail of the gator. I had the brisket, it didn't fall apart like the brisket I've had in other places but it could have just been the style. It still tasted great.

We did have to wait a few minutes to eat because it was so crowded but it was worth it. I do recommend this place to other families traveling through the area, at least stop and try the "gator bites" if you've never had alligator before.
