Dropped by Alligator Soul in May on a Saturday night and it was PACKED. All the locals in Everett eat here and its easy to see why. No creole or cajun restaurant in Vancouver comes close to the experience I had at Alligator Soul, the food is simply heart warming good.

Sampled turtle soup, deep fried alligator tail, hush puppies, gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish etoufee. Everything was good, with the crawfish etoufee being a particularly great standout. Finished the meal off with the dessert beignets which had some banana and caramel sauce.

I highly suggest anyone driving down or back from Seattle should stop in Everett for lunch or dinner at this fantastic restaurant. Its really a shame that Southern food doesn't exist in Vancouver, at least at this level. Forgive the poor photos, I was too impatient to deal with camera settings and wanted to dive into the food.
