A long fucking drive down there in treacherous weather conditions and it was not worth it, IMO. The drive down there was about 2hrs and 15-30minutes or so if we drove straight there but we elected to stop at Seattle Premium Outlet and Alderwood. At 7pm we left the outlets and made our way towards Alligator Soul, we arrived close to 8pm and got sat right away. Their were A LOT of empty tables and only about 4-5 tables were occupied, but meh we drove all the way here and we might as well try it out.

We ordered three dishes, the Crawfish Etoufee, Crawfish Beigneits and the Crispy Chicken Gumbo. The Crawfish Beigneits were decent but it was mainly just flour and nothing too special. The Crawfish Etoufee wasn't good, small pieces of crawfish and it was too salty. The Crispy Chicken Gumbo tasted like over-salted gravy with over-salted Deep-fried chicken with some rice, definitely not good. They used way too much salt in each of their Gumbo and Etoufee dish.

It was quite disappointing after hearing the rave reviews from a few RS members but I personally would not be coming back to this place, I think I'd rather eat @ Eagles Buffet/Olive Garden or The Keg next time.
