Alligator Soul

Alligator Soul has great atmosphere! They feature live music every Friday and Saturday night. Matt and I went on a Saturday and were blessed to catch Star Drums and Lady Keys. The singer/ drummer is a 69 year old man with more energy than my ten year old brother!We split the Corn-Fried Platter (great sweet potato fries and fried dill pickles, but I think the okra is an acquired taste), then I had the Fried Green Tomato Salad (realllly good), Matt had the Soul Smoked Pork Ribs (he wasn't impressed), then we split the Bananas Foster Beignets (yum!). We left thinking we'll definitely have to come back when they move to their new, much larger location in October (with room for dancing!), and also that I need to learn how to make remoulade sauce because now I'm addicted to it. Overall, I recommend coming on a Friday or Saturday because the music and atmosphere is really what makes the place worthwhile, though the food is good enough to stand on its own.
