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.

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!!

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.

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.

This was a spur of the moment decision and holy lazy Susan! It was probably one of the best fish dishes I have had. Perfectly balanced spice and cream and the rice was delicious accompanied with the blacked fish and deep fried crayfish tail! We also got the fish and chips! So good! And the calamari was perfect done. Micci the owner was totally rad and our bartender Halleigh was a total sweetheart! Come here!!! It’s a hidden gem that everyone should know about!!!

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!

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.

Awesome place to eat. Staff was great. The cook came over and addressed some allergy concerns with my wife. Then gave her a sample fish to try. He went above and beyond to make it a good experience for us. Highly recommend the fried gator. I will most definitely be back again.
