In Short
Beyond the cheery sidewalk seating, stuffed animal heads, neon beer signs and Mardi Gras beads cover the gray walls. The local worker lunch crowd laps up the well-priced fare. Families and older couples fill plastic… Read Full Editorial
Bland, boring food! NO FLAVOR! by SeekaSue via Citysearch on 4/15/2012
I don't understand why this place is getting such good reviews. The food is extremely bland. These guys really need to invest in some seasonings. Some garlic powder, onion salt....just something! Come on people, you can't just slather some…
Straight outta NOLA. Abita, oysters by CraftyisCool via Citysearch on 3/15/2012
Straight outta NOLA. Abita, oysters contraband, crawfish étouffée and praline pistolette for dessert. You'll thank me. Curtis knows Cajun!
Excellent Cajun Cuisine by Les888 via Citysearch on 9/3/2011
I visited Evangeline's Cafe for the first time on Friday night.\r
I immediately got the sense of a comfortable neighborhood establishment, where the local residents enjoy meeting together for a relaxed evening and a great meal at a…
Cajun? Maybe so, Maybe no by DDogie via Citysearch on 11/12/2010
First thing I do is I look at the menu online and am turned off by the café for using the BP oil spill to raise their prices. I am sure the shrimp is farm raised just as the catfish and crawfish the café uses in their meals. The…
Best Cajun food by italianfoodie via Citysearch on 6/13/2010
We cannot get enough of Evangeline! Great food and decent prices.
Excellent lunch specials and the po-boys are to die for! My favorite is the veggie and my husband loves the roast beef.
What we like most about this place is that the…
Awesome Cajun Food in Austin, TX by MPeevey via Citysearch on 12/23/2009
Evangeline Cafe is the next best thing to living and eating right in the heart of Louisiana. Curtis Clarke is doing an awesome job with his little restaurant nestled in the heart of South Austin. Would love to see more locations.
Great Entrees and dessert by JoanneG via Citysearch on 7/15/2009
My husband and I are originally from the Lake Charles, LA area and have finally found a little piece of Lake Charles heaven here in Austin. The food was superb - our first visit to Evangeline Cafe. We live in Hutto, TX but it was worth…
The best homecooked southern meal in Austin! by debbygail2003 via Citysearch on 2/24/2009
I am originally from Austin, and I used to visit Evangeline's just about any chance I could throughout the week. The food is great, atmosphere is great. When I moved away in 2005 to go to school, every time I came to visit my parents I…
We keep going back here by JlovesK via Citysearch on 12/22/2008
Just wanted to say that we like the food and service here and have always enjoyed coming. My wife is from Louisiana and she says the food is just like being home - so we end up here a lot!
Classic South Austin! by texasvandygirl via Citysearch on 11/24/2008
I LOVE the fried shrimp po-boy and it's the best when dressed with Evangeline Sauce. There is always a lively atmosphere and the service is relaxed...a great way to spend time enjoying the meal instead of feeling rushed. I have HIGHLY…
Great Cajun food without having to drive to Louisiana. by cajunfoodfan via Citysearch on 10/2/2008
I'm very rarely in south Austin but I happened to drive by around lunchtime and saw this little place off of Brodie Lane today. I am originally from Texas but I lived in New Orleans for four years many years ago and developed a love of…
As bland as Cajun can be... by Leper via Citysearch on 8/23/2008
My fiance and I went here for dinner. I had the "seafood platter" for $17 - maybe the most expensive thing on the menu. She had the fried shrimp basket. We both found our meals to be excrutiatingly bland, even though much of it was…
Evangeline Cafe is the worst place to eat or listen to live music, crowded , terrible owner and customer service by Cajuneese via Citysearch on 8/10/2008
Many people already covered whats wrong with this place, I just want to point out that the owner is asking for cash only cover charge from customers at 10 pm. i am pretty sure there is a reason its unadvertised and is cash only. IRS come…
Bland! by pouka via Citysearch on 6/24/2008
We were told about Evangeline's by two different people and I doubt I'll listen to either of them again. What a terrible experience. Two of us at the table ordered their "house specialty" Crawfish Evangeline. It was supposed to have a…
WHERE IS THE FLAVOR???? by Austinivy via Citysearch on 6/23/2008
I agree with the other reviews... I dont see why this place is so popular/so well reviewed??? I went there w/ high hopes being new to Austin & being Creole... Yet... I was soooo let down... I ordered Shrimp Etouffee... all it was onion (3…
Something different, but not great. by lizlovestoeat via Citysearch on 5/16/2008
I've enjoyed cajun and creole food up and down the Gulf Coast, and I have to say this isn't the best. The rice seemed par-boiled and the entrees (fried, etouffee, et cetera) are all kind of bland. Evangeline's is a better neighborhood bar…
I'm not sure I understand this place's popularity. by LucSulla via Citysearch on 4/28/2008
I live within earshot of Evangeline and have tried it several times. Each time I have been rather disappointed. The first time I went, I entered with high hopes. I am from Mississippi originally and grew up around good Creole and Cajun…
Great Fried Pickles! by db100 via Citysearch on 2/20/2008
We went here for a birthday and it was great. The music was really great, it's cozy and the service was good. The food was a little bland for a couple of us. I really would have like for them to blacken my catfish but they do not blacken…
Top Pick by stus via Citysearch on 1/22/2008
Service was great, the staff was friendly and informative. I was new to cajun food, but now an expert. My boyfriend and I dedcided to try the cafe out on a Friday night. The place was packed, but the wait was not long, and our food came…
Best Cajun/ Creole Food in Austin!! by ablou via Citysearch on 12/20/2007
I went to college at Tulane in New Orleans, and am always on the lookout for that great taste in Austin. I have found it at Evangeline!! After many disappointing meals elsewhere, I happened upon Evangeline, and it has become one of my…
