Allyn's Cafe

A three star rating represents a decent restaurant, and this one is decent. It has average food, most likely provided by Sysco. The dishes we at were tasteful and filling but lacked any real spices that might have made them more enjoyable. For Mexican and Cajun food, they have average food - nothing to write home about but nothing from which to walk away. Portion sizes were adequate and not super-sized, thank goodness. The menus provided adequate choices. The atmosphere seems conducive for a middle-age population and the place had a professional, albeit NOT yuppie-looking, crowd. This establishment looks similar to a turn-of-the-century bar and offered casual dining. One could hear dinner companions without any problems. The wait staff seats one quickly and food came soon after the order. The wait staff acts very helpful. A good average dining experience. Pros: Professional service, decent value, good caual ambience Cons: Parking, or the lack of it more

The review hints that this is a dive bar that serves food, too - So Wrong! It's a RESTAURANT-BAR with exceptional cajun food! The beer selection is amazing and the blackened fillet mignon is consistently excellent and a great value - watch out Dee Felice! Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Not for 20-somethings more

Allyns by far has the edge on the cajun and mexican food here in the nati!!! i have eaten many of cajun restaurants in the city and around the country and allyns by far has an edge. the atmosphere, its there its friendly and the hospitality is priceless music is great this place sets the evening off or finishes is great Pros: food, drinks, people Cons: parking, none, none more

A great selection of beers from all over the world compliments a menu with choices for all over as well. Food from authentic mexican and cajun specialties to Frech cuisine to steaks and chops. Best jambalaya in the city! Pros: Good value, Pretty Cool owner, beer/ wine selection Cons: parking more
