Johnson’sExploreThis was my restaurant of choice for my birthday and it did not disappoint! When my sister and I walked in they asked us if it was for a birthday or just for fun. We told them birthday and they handed me a birthday card such a cute touch! I had never had alligator before and I think the fried alligator bites was the BEST thing out of everything we ended up ordering. The wild game mac and cheese was well cooked. The gumbo had a great flavor. The Louisiana bbq shrimp and fried Parmesan grits were so amazing and tasted just as good a couple of days later! What a wonderful experience Alligator Soul provided my sister and myself!

Jeanette MedinaThe food was decent but not worth the price. I had the elk chop (wild game meal), which was cooked perfectly just too spicy to eat and enjoy. I ended up bringing it home but doubt I'll even eat it. My son had the duck, which I tasted and it was very moist and good. We also got the Charcuterie Plate. I wasn't a fan of the rabbit/python sausage but surprisingly loved the cricket hummus and cheeses. The banana desert was horrible. My husband and son enjoyed the peanut butter pie. The waitress was very friendly and never let our beverages get low. Loved the atmosphere but it was very dark and hard to read the menu due to lightning. Definitely a very expensive place!!

El HefeAuthentic and unique. This was a culinary must do if you’re ever in the area. The menu specializes in local flavors and tastes. From Alligator, seafood and even some exotics like Kangaroo, New Zealand Elk or Wild Boar it does not disappoint.

Morgan TurnerThis place is absolutely phenomenal. My server, Paige, was so attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. The fried alligator, frog legs, and the wild boar mac and cheese were all unique and incredible. Have to say my favorite was the mushroom salad. One of the best salads I’ve ever had no joke. Would highlyyyyy recommend.

BigBack CohenI dream of eating here again on a frequent basis. Took my wife here in our honeymoon, the waitress was very kind and even gave us a complimentary praline. This is a perfect place for a date night. The gumbo was very good I wish I could have this injected in my veins! My wife got the pan seared fish (locally caught) it was very delicious! Overall a great place for couples, expect to pay a pretty penny, but it is worth it!
