I come to town once a moth for work. This was my first time visiting the restaurant. It will definitely be on my rotation from now on. Food and service were excellent. What I assume was the owner greeted me and sat me and was very clearly active and attentive in the dining room and kitchen. That’s great to see. Thanks for a great experience.

Our waiter today was Yime. He was fantastic!!! Me and my mother in law decided to dine in today and we had the best experience! We had some free ceviche before they ran out...it was sooooooo good! Definitely would have again if it was advertised more often. My mother in law had the shrimp alfredo and I had the texan burger. Both orders came out perfect! We will definitely be back soon!!

I got the seafood pasta with the salmon on top. I don't even remember what the dish is called but it doesn't matter. It is probably one of the best dishes I ever had. I will be making Amarillo a stop for food every time I drive through just simply because of this restaurant. Please open a location in Colorado springs.

A co-worker who lives in Amarillo suggested I try Lazy Gator while I was in town from Dallas, Texas. I am prone to gravitate to small local eateries....and Lazy Gator is now one place I will return to when I visit the Amarillo area!! It is evident that this is a gathering place for locals. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and excellent service!! When I was seated the server came immediately. She (Christen) was very friendly, extremely attentive, and wore an amazing smile, all of which made my first experience a memorable one! Lazy Gator is definitely on my go back list. If you are looking for great food, excellent service, and a good relaxing environment...Lazy Gator is worth checking out!! (Pictured: Gator Bites | Fish & Chips)

It was our first time to eat here and it was absolutely amazing. We were treated with the utmost respect. Hands down the best place in Amarillo to eat.

The food was very good. They gave us a sample of the gumbo and it was delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and offered good advice on the menu.

This place really blew me away. Came in from out of town and wanted some Cajun. Inside was very clean and a nice eating environment. Sampled the gumbo and it was AMAZING. Nice rich roux with shaved parmesan on top gave the dish a lot of depth. Tried the fire stix and all I can say is Chili’s doesn’t haven’t anything on their cheese pull! Lightly battered so it didn’t take away from the star of the show, the ghost pepper cheese. Ordered the Lazy Susan as recommended by the waiter and every bite was like heaven. So much flavor without letting anything over power. Even though it’s a three hour drive to Amarillo, I will have to find a reason to come back down and eat here as often as possible.

Pro tip: If the Lazy Gator ever offers a special, get there as quickly as possible! Everything we’ve ever had off of the menu is absolutely delicious too. And the service is always great! But back to those specials… We’ve eaten shrimp and grits all over the South and we’ve never had anything close to their dish! The shrimp was lightly fried paired with their yummy scratch-made creamy Cajun sauce with cheesy green chile grits. Perfection! And Pondaseta’s Fast and Hazy on draft. Yes please! Highly recommend!

Absolutely the BEST Cajun food in Amarillo!!! I was greeted and served with a smile, and enjoyed a cup of complimentary Gumbo because it was my first time at the Lazy Gator. The Gumbo was only a tease of how Awesome the food is here, and the "Mud Cat" Fish was Spectacular. The menu has numerous items that sound delicious and the portions are quite generous. Ester was an Amazing server and she advised me of several food recommendations. I will definitely eat here here again!! ... Returned on 12.27.2024, and was served by Zeden. He recommended the Lazy Suzanne and it was awesome!

While in town stopped in. Quit smaller place, clean and open. No wait, good parking. Wait staff was very kind and patient We ordered gator bites, fresh, but processed fer sure, rubbery and over seasoned..I ordered cod, fluffy, but over seasoned, broccoli perfect in cooking time. The tenderloin was preferred ordered med well, arrived med still very pink. Sent back to kitchen came WELL done. Had already waited to redo, so now the okra was cold. Not the best experience, but not the worst.

We went and tried this place a couple of times the last time the fish was very wet and not good at all. The manager did make it right they apologize and took it off the bill they also offered to fix me something else but I didn't want it by then. All the other dishes were good.

Visiting the town, we found this place randomly after checking out some sights. We were welcomed with an opened door by a gentleman. The place is conveniently designed with a bar and TVs on one side. There are more TVs all around which makes it a great spot for football season, I bet. The server was attentive and cheerful. We got our drinks fast. The gator tail appetizer was reasonable for two. Served with two sauces. The gumbo was flavorful and a cup wasn't enough. I'd suggest getting the additional grilled cheese side. I didn't taste the other dish, but apparently the burger needed to be seasoned. It is common nowadays to make burgers more plain, so it wasn't that unusual. Overall we had a good time and left satisfied.

I ordered Gator Gumbo and Mussels via UberEats. Firstly I asked for utensils; didnt get them. Since I'm at a hotel I had to drink my gumbo out of the container. However I couldn't finish it. I'm born and rasied in Louisiana. There is an odd metallic taste in the Gumbo that I didnt quite understand. It wasn't the gator but something else. Similar to that metallic taste of venison or lamb. The mussels were also salty/spicy. I LOVE spicy, like make my lips burn and nose run type of spicy but I also like spice flavors and not just salt. The reviews are 4.6 stars so maybe I'm tripping today. I will try them again and select other menu items.

Their music was a bit too Austin for my taste, and they were out of gator—this was our lunch spot, and with gator in the name, we were hoping to get some. The fish and shrimp were “fresh,” but they didn’t have any real Cajun flavor or flair. Ester was super , food was a disappointment.
