Love this place! The food is authentic Cajun, especially if you order the spicy menu items, beers are cheap, and staff is great.

We had an excellent meal today at Gators Bayou, and it was a joy from start to finish. The service was thoughtful, the atmosphere was friendly, and everything felt welcoming. Our waitress, Brinleigh, took our order right away and made sure our food arrived just as we hoped. She came by several times to check on us and kept the water refilled, which I truly appreciate. She is a wonderful young lady and did a fantastic job. We could not have been more pleased with our visit today, and we look forward to coming back.

Food was bland and okay but the wait staff and environment is that of a bar more so than a restaurant. Perfect for a drink very loud atmosphere.

I ate there late one afternoon after running errands, they were maybe 30% busy. I had the blackened catfish with corn on the cob, a cup of gumbo with shrimp added, a cup of red beans and rice, and the bread pudding. It was all pretty authentic but not too (spicy) hot, which is fine for the Lubbock region. The only regret was the bread pudding. It was too dense, very very dry, and a bit lacking in flavor. I've had much better when I used to live in southeast Texas and Louisiana, I'm not sure what went wrong with that dish (maybe microwave reheating contributed). Next time it's going to be cheesecake for dessert, because I'll definitely be coming back. I always tip generously if my server refills my glass and check on me regularly, and my waitress earned it this time. Gator's Bayou has been a favorite of mine since they opened. I'm dying to return for the crawfish bisque, etoufee, and maybe jambalaya next time!! They have excellent beer selection and great cocktails, but I can't have them with my COPD right now, or I would have ordered them just to improve my review. Definitely should try them out, Lubbock!!

Music was too loud Disappointing beer list Food was good; my wife really liked her fried shrimp. My stir fry was good. Waitress was very good. 3% charge for using credit card is BS.
You need to post yall damn hours online that the kitchen closes at a certain time no reason for 2 nights in a row that I have been trying to place a order and the kitchen is closed and y’all close at 12 for what it’s posted no where that is really bad for business
