Gator
coves roots stretch back to about 1980 when AuBrey Henderson and wife Bonnie
decided to build a garage for their bluebird bus. when the garage was
constructed and Mr. Henderson began to back his bus into it, a loud noise
certified that the garage was to low to house it. After much thought Mr.
Henderson decided to expand his business from their BBQ Lodge, which opened
in 1978. the "garage" became Gator Cove, specializing in boiled crawfish.
the original garage is the dining room with the murals painted on the wall.
Another room was then added to accommodate the growing demand for his boiled
crawfish. a small menu existed then, which has grown to include many cajun
favorites. Gator Cove opened its doors to the public in 1982 and has since
attracted Cajun and tourist alike with the delicious boiled crawfish that
Lafayette has proclaimed to be
" the best boiled crawfish" in town.
The Henderson family is proud of their family's accomplishments and hopes
that you, "our guest" will find everything downright home-like and tasty.
