The Fried Alligator - Kingsport

A very cozy place to eat. Great seafood served with a smile. I had fried the alligator and oysters with fries, which was delicious. If you like surfing and lawn, Ribeye Steak is also an option with your choice of seafood. This facility does not take credit cards, only cash. There is a cash machine for your convenience in the restaurant. I recommend this place as I want back!

CASH ONLY!!(but there's an ATM inside) Now that that's out of the way, the food here is great! The gator is great! We also tried the gumbo, and the jambalaya. Both were good enough to order again in the future, not quite great though. This place is a little hole in the wall, but definitely worth the visit.

The food here is excellent! I really enjoyed the batter they use. While the prices are quite high and the menu selection is limited, the quality makes it worthwhile. The alligator was tender, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. It's a cozy spot, ideal for a date night.

This is the best Cajun food in the Tri-Cities! The customer service is consistently excellent, and they always make you feel like part of the family. The food is out of this world! You absolutely have to try the Creole – it's a must. And don't even think about leaving without sampling the fried gator! Fantastic food all around!

The atmosphere was fantastic, particularly for a small business. The food was excellent, and both the chefs and servers were incredibly personable. My friend and I began our meal with fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. For my main course, I had the alligator with black seasoning, which had a wonderful kick to it, accompanied by green beans and a loaded baked potato. My friend opted for the scallops served with rice, roasted okra, and also a loaded baked potato. To top off the meal, we enjoyed a deep-fried cake with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar for dessert.
