The Alligator Creole Café is just down the street from TSU in the heart of soulful 3rd ward… I had lunch there today, at the request of a friend who said that they had some of the best Gumbo this side of New Orleans… I must say that was some amazing gumbo! They also have some great crawfish, fried alligator and frog legs for those looking to try something new. If adventure really isn’t your style they also have cheese burgers and hot dogs on the menu(along with pretty much anything else you can stick in a deep fryer like okra, sweet potato’s, catfish, shrimp, chicken wings etc…) They also have grilled shrimp and salads, if you feel the need to behave ;) In addition to having some delicious food they have great service and live music on Friday nights ! So, if you find yourself in and around downtown go check out the Alligator Creole Café!
