HIGHLY recommend eating here if you enjoy cajun food. We ate a ton of food and enjoyed all of it. I enjoyed the Bloody Mary, it was very flavorful and delicious. The selection of hot sauces is a wide range and superb. We had the half serving of the buffalo chicken quesadilla with veggies. It was VERY good. Crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside. The jalapeno cream sauce complimented it well. The Mardi Gras Pasta with shrimp was amazing! Ate every last bite of it. Hubby had the Mardi Dog and was slow to share a taste as he was enjoying it so much. The cajun fries were well seasoned. We prefer fries on the crisper side but we still enjoyed them. The dirty rice was exactly what I was hoping for. The sausage mixed in was perfect with the rice. For Dessert we had the bread pudding with bourbon sauce and it was delectable. Soft, sweet, and perfect. We enjoyed every crumb. I generally am not a fan of bread pudding but I ensured I got my share as it was so wonderful. I definitely recommend it if you are a bourbon fan as there is a very strong bourbon flavor to it.

Took a subset of the family here. Outside was extremely comfortable, so that's where we sat. Outside of sun in the eyes for half the table for about 30 minutes, it was a great decision. Nice eclectic menu but didn't think it was overwhelming. One family member took a little to decide, but was ok cause I think our server/waiter was on break first 15 minutes or so we were there. None of these extremely minor issues took away from the place. Immediately happy that this was the neew place our family decided on for the evening. Usually we're just zooming through that area to or from downtown. Glad to see alligator on the menu, was able to get youngest to try and then take a few more pieces. Wish they had chopped liver in their dirty rice, so went with seafood platter & onion rings. I expected crawfish to be whole, but was not as you can see by pics. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Me and one other thought it was a bit too much salt. Nice selection of hot sauces. Prices were reasonable. The primary reason for 4 stars is that it is my understanding, from looking and asking one staff member, that there is one unisex bathroom(fits one at a time) for the entire place. Not sure if I would go out of the way to go here again(about a 20-25 min trip one way) but would stop by on a future trip to or fro.

Allyn’s Eclectic Cuisine Allyn’s Eclectic Cuisine is a hidden gem that truly lives up to its name! The vibrant signage featuring a cool alligator design immediately catches your eye and sets the mood for a fun, flavorful experience. The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting, making it a fantastic place to enjoy a memorable meal. Food Highlights: 1. Beyond Burger with Fries – The Beyond Burger was absolutely delicious, with a juicy plant-based patty and fresh toppings that made every bite delightful. The fries were perfectly seasoned with a Cajun kick, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside – a fantastic side! 2. Vegan Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Cajun Fries – This sandwich was a standout! The vegan buffalo chicken had a wonderful spicy flavor with a satisfying texture, topped with all the fixings you’d expect from a classic buffalo sandwich. Paired with Cajun fries, it’s a perfect dish for anyone looking for a spicy, satisfying vegan option. 3. Fried Fish with Mac and Cheese & Brussels Sprouts – The fried fish was golden and crispy, while the inside stayed moist and tender. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, and the Brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection, adding a nice earthy balance to the plate. 4. Onion Rings – These onion rings were thick, crunchy, and packed with flavor. Each bite was a satisfying mix of crisp batter and tender onion – an absolute must-try! Service and Atmosphere: The atmosphere at Allyn’s is welcoming and vibrant, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a celebration. Our server, Dana, was fantastic! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was absolutely perfect. If you’re looking for a place with diverse, flavorful dishes (including some fantastic vegan options), Allyn’s Eclectic Cuisine is the place to go. Highly recommended!

5 stars all the way!! I had their gater and it was so delicious!! I couldn't get enough of the Mac&Cheese. I have crazy allergies and dietary requirements and they were able to work with me. Great place. Truly this is a must visit!

A Taste of New Orleans: A Must-Visit Spot for Creole & Cajun Cuisine If you're craving authentic Creole and Cajun flavors, this spot delivers big on taste and variety. We sampled the Turkey Chili, Hushpuppies, Cornbread, and Chicken Etouffee, all packed with bold, authentic seasoning. Pair that with four beers, and we were set for a satisfying meal. With a total bill of $71.61, the value was solid (4/5), especially given the standout flavors (5/5) and unique menu offerings (5/5). The selection is impressive, featuring classic Louisiana fare alongside other tempting options (5/5 for variety). Service was good but not exceptional (3/5), and the atmosphere was pleasant and clean (3/5). Final Verdict: If you're looking for an authentic taste of New Orleans, this place is a must-visit!
