Evangeline Café

Excellent Cajun-Creole fare, with authentic everything – gumbo and jambalaya , boudin and étouffée , gator and redfish . If you ever wanted to fais do-do in South Austin, this is the place.

Amazing gumbo ! Can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Grab a beer , sit back and enjoy. It will all be Meux betta soon.

Love the veggie gumbo , seafood gumbo , oysters contraband , frog legs , grilled shrimp po-boy and stuffed avocado . Great friendly wait staff !

Always live music . Never had a bad dish. Speedys catfish and fried gator are amongst our favorites.

This place is straight up amazing. I suggest trying it out. First time here. The staff is so laid back , funny and ATTENTIVE! A 10 in my opinion!

Softshell crab po' boy is great. Alligator sauce piquante is awesome and a great way to try gator if you haven't had it.

Amazing Pasta , Shrimp , and Service. Recommended to all to come see what all the fuss is all about!

House made chips w/remoulade are great. Had jambalaya - tasted great. Side salad was great, fresh greens .

Try the Gator Bites app. Delicious special! Fish perfectly cooked. Dirty rice is the best side in the house!

I loved the shrimp po boy !! Great little place. It gets packed here fast so you have to wait sometimes...

Best Roast Beef Poboy in Austin! ...which means it the best Poboy in Austin, period.

etoufee, crawfish Evangeline not bad. Small place, fast service .

Staff was on point. Service was impeccable and the gator bites were amazzzze. Will be back!!

Red beans and rice/bread pudding are exceptional! Get there by 11am for lunch .

Fried pickles , jambalaya , and gumbo are all delicious!

Pecan Pistolette (dessert ). Delicious! Cheeseburger is also good. Try them both.

Everything, but I usually get boudin , gumbo , or redfish .

Catfish po'boy is awesome. Cup of chicken and sausage gumbo for appetizer...who dat

Simple is best... I can't get past the fried shrimp poor boy. It's definitely a must.

If ur into Cajun, this might be one of the better places in ATX. I, unfortunately, am not into it.

Excellent fried pickles . Crispy and delicious.

The lunch specials are a great deal! Try the catfish and dirty rice !

Everything here is fabulous!!! Their home made potato chips with Evangeline sauce is my guilty pleasureBb

Gumbo and avocado Po boy sandwich is the best.

Cajun Crawfish Creole and the fruity Lager are unforgettable. Po-Boy is also good.

Great Cajun food , try some alligator bites; and yes, real alligator !!

REAL Cajun food !!!! This is not that so called Cajun that you get at all the other places in town

Was here over a year ago - I just remember at the time there weren't a lot of gluten free options .

Crawfish Evangeline and fried pickles are my GO-TO ????

Red beans and rice - bread pudding are great!

Gator Sauce Piquante. Yes please. And save room for that insane praline beignet .

Delicious food, great environment and a kickass staff . I love coming here!

Wow great food and the music is terrific! Like stepping into another plane of relaxation!

Great bread pudding and music

catfish po boy & the pecan pistolette with homemade caramel sauce for dessert are a perfect combo.

The house made Caesar salad dressing was delicious!

Evangeline Cafe's food, staff and decor rock! Enough said.

The chicken & sausage gumbo !

Don't miss the Oysters contraband ! Delicious!

Try the oyster po boy with avocado !! It's my favorite!

Live music some nights! We got lucky. & Redd Volkert was playing.

Boudain was food with some cajan power sauce . Hank Williams was bland , rice was undercooked and gumbo tasted like the bottom of a burned pot. 2 x here

Oysters Contraband and Soft Shell Crabs

Let's talk about the stuffed pork chop . Ready? Order it.

Oysters Contraband are the bomb.

Oysters contraband will set you right.

Get there early it is tiny

Great place to eat - always crowded though.

Gator bites were great! Very crowded .

Everything is good!
