uncle mick's cajun market & cafe

delicious and the service is fantastic. literally mike makes that place a great experience

great stuff. i used to not be a big fan of cajun food. that was before i started eating at uncle mick's. great food - great hospitality from uncle mick. gem of downtown prattville.

good food...good people. my husband and i recently went to uncle mick's on the recommendation of others. the food is cafeteria style, and the awesome thing is that they will let you taste a sample of anything and everything on the line before placing your order. everyone was very friendly and uncle mick was right up front serving the customers.

the food is of course cajun and there were about 6 entrees & 6 sides to choose from. both our meals were hearty and delicious. just enough spice for a weakling like me. they are also very generous with their portions & the bread! they will even give you seconds if you like. they have a great little patio in the back that is covered and decorated with all the kitchy fun decor you might expect in cajun restaurant. we will definitely be back for more.

have been here three times now and it has been outstanding on each occasion.

food was fantastic. he offers samples if you're unsure... everything i tried was delicious. try the spicy alligator on dirty rice. split your order and add the chicken gumbo.

best restaurant.. their food is really good and they have good service they were really nice to let me try some food and they cleaned our table. jc age 10.

really cool locale! food is phenomenal and authentic cajun. a ton of meals options and combos. you can tell it’s popular - by noon the line was almost out the door! will definitely be back!

uncle mick's cajun market & cafe was off the charts delicious the day we visited here with our miata club!! uncle mick himself was at the steam table and was extremely generous and gracious to allow us samples of many of the menu and side items. it was wonderful and astute of him to do this. we  all were so very pleased at all of our tastings and it helped speed along our decision making too!! my hubby had the grilled tilapia with lemon butter sauce with tomato & feta cheese salad and corn maque choux as is his sides (all so very tasty). i had both the shrimp a la creme and crab au gratin which were truly outstanding. my sides were the cajun potato salad which was great and a deviled egg. we split up our meal so we could share it with one another and we both raved on & on with this excellent choices we made due to the samplings we tasted. one of the line cooks brought out freshly made corn bread muffins which were heavenly!! along with a fabulous homemade pecan pie, which we both split (sadly i forgot to add the bourbon sauce on the side of it, to my hubby's consternation). we all agreed that we must return to this site soon to taste some more of uncle mick's menu!!

this is the one restaurant that you have to try when you are in prattville. make sure that you ask for tasters or samples of the various items on the menu. everything on the menu tastes great!

this place is the gem of the town. great food. great staff. generous with samples. there are not enough restaurants like this tell all of your friends.

3/18/2017 - came back home to visit my dad and we all went to uncle mick's for dinner. working in lexington, ky, there are a couple of really good cajun joints (gumbo ya ya & bourbon and toulouse) which i can compare with mick's.

first, let's say prattville needs a cajun restaurant. second, i'm not a big seafood eater but my wife is (she's from mobile). but, i'm game for most new adventures.

here's how i see it - mick seems to be a genuine article (even though he was born right in montgomery) and spent 17 years cooking with another person who taught him how to cook cajun. he's got it down. the shrimp à la crème is unbelievably good - and i'm not a fan of shrimp. the crawfish étouffée over dirty rice is also very good. the corn maque choux and cucumber salad round out the sides.

some suggestions - the garlic bread needs a kick. the two lexington restaurants add a little old bay or cajun spice in their butter which is dowsed on the garlic bread. it's amazing. also, they fill a large plate full of rice and add the entree choices (the same or a split) over rice (no sides). i'd think adding this choice in the place of the sides would be a good idea.

overall, good place. will come back when we visit prattville.

this place is awesome! definitely with a try and uncle mick is so nice! wish they were closer to my home as i'd be a frequent customer. try this!

first time visit. the food is delicious and fresh. the staff were very hospitable and provided great service! wonderful atmosphere and very affordable.

why it took us so long to drive to prattvile and eat at this wonderful place is a question i'll ask myself every time we go there now!

being from louisiana and having a mom and sisters and now a wife to cook cajun food for me was a blessing but discovering uncle micks' has been fantastic!

fantastic authentic cajun food offered in a spotless and quaint setting is what this restaurant is all about. it truly is a wonderful place to eat. atmosphere was great. loved getting to chat with "uncle mick."

my wife and i had: seafood gumbo, red beans and rice, chicken and sausage sauce piquant, cajun potato salad, and our favorite shrimp a la creme. everything was +++.

my husband has always been a huge fan of uncle mick's and so when i moved from the west coast here, i had to try it out.  

we eat there at least once a month and drive up from montgomery.  bar none, this is the friendliest service you'll get in town.  uncle mick himself will serve you with his famous "try before you by" - you get to try every entrée before you choose.

my regular is a split entrée with shrimp a'la creme and alligator sauce piquant or a gumbo.  two sides: one of his delicious beans sides, always with the cajun potato salad. his home-made french garlic bread (he keeps giving you more and more) and to take home (you just don't have space), his bourbon bread pudding.

the place is the cleanest restaurant i've eaten in - you can eat off the floor :d  mickey decorated and cleans the place himself.  there's also a private dining room at the back if you want to book it for a large party of people, or you can eat there if it's not booked.  our #1 choice in town.
