UNCLE MICK'S CAJUN MARKET AND CAFE'

UNCLE MICK'S CAJUN MARKET AND CAFE'

in
 
Prattville, AL
 
 
 
 
 
Today we decided to hit the road and head south to a restaurant I saw advertised on Facebook.
 
It sounded WONDERFUL and I wanted to see if it was as good as it sounded.  
 
We headed out and took I-65 South and got off at Exit 179....we went straight into downtown Prattville...and there it was on the right hand side of the road.  It was VERY easy to find. 

It was three hours from Athens, AL., but let me tell you what it was well worth the drive..

Mickey Thompson is the owner of this awesome Cajun restaurant and it is truly wonderful dining experience. It is nestled in beautiful
downtown Prattville, AL.
The decor of the place was really COOL!!Uncle Mick has a place for you to sit inside or a back porch for you to sit and relax on and dine.
He is a super friendly guy and it was wonderful to meet him. We hope to get to opportunity to go back again sometime.   



 
 
I could tell already that I was going to like this place.  Uncle Mick was behind the counter  serving the food.  He was so very polite to every one and was giving samples, and allowing his customers to try items before they got their meal.
