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 tables and chairs at dinner time, while a TV airs sports above a two-seater bar. The kitchen's strong suit is the ambrosial gumbo with huge chunks of chicken and sausage. Signature crawfish Evangeline has lumps of tender crawfish swimming in a creamy cheese sauce over fettuccine.

Great Entrees and dessert
by JoanneG
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 hour or so drive. Don't skip the pecan praline pistolette - it is divine!!! Owner, Curtis Clarke, took some time to visit with us and our waiter, Sam (I believe that's his name - from Mississippi) was great too. Thanks Curtis and staff for a wonderful evening - we'll definitely be back for more!

The best homecooked southern meal in Austin!
by debbygail2003
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 would always tell them I wanted to go eat at Cafe Evangelines. I am now officially back, living in my home town, and I'm still remaining faithful to my favorite restaurant.
I would recommend this to any and everyone. They do have live music, so if you do not like a particularly loud atmosphere, then visit them during the day, or on fridays before 10pm when they dont have live music going on.
My favorite thing on their menu??? Stuffed Pistolettes!!! They melt in your mouth, with an exploding center filled with your choice of meat and the perfect amount of spice.
