Buzzard Billy's

Excellent food for your buck. May i suggest the Gator Eggs!

Granted this isn‘t the most authentic Cajun I‘ve ever eaten, but it is Lincoln, NE. If you‘re expecting a beauxna fide experience, you might want to drive about 800 miles south and east. I‘ve always been satisfied with the food. It‘s a chain restaurant so you have a moderate expectation of getting the same level of food each time and for the most part they deliver. More than anything, I‘d go there for the Hopluia beer brewed in Cortland, NE. Strange to say, but it is one of the better highly hopped beers I‘ve had.

This has to be the worst food I‘ve had in many moons. We were recommended the ‘amazing‘ Armadillo Eggs appetitizer, which is four giant balls of dry chicken wrapped with bacon and stuffed with some jalapeno. Tough to choke down, even if you bury it in ranch. I wanted to try alligator, but was told not too because it is flavorless and the portion is small. So I went with a general stand-by, a chicken sandwich with sauteed mushrooms and swiss...which does not mention anywhere that the mushrooms are swimming in beef. I am biased, because I eat only poultry and fish, but I desperately wanted to spit out the only bite I tried. The replacement was a lime-marinated breaded chicken sandwich that tasted like chicken strips covered in lime jelly. Horrifying! The buzzards should be circling, considering how many GOOD restaraunts don‘t make it in Lincoln.

I love the comparison between mom and hot women, that is perfectly fitting to the way Buzzard Billy‘s is to Cajun food. The food here is anything but traditional Cajun.

Now, first off...if I offended anyone, I‘m sorry. I‘ll invite you over to my place for some real Cajun/Creole cookin‘ and see how long you‘ll be upset.

I tell you what....ain‘t nothin worse than eating a bad bowl of gumbo, cause in most situations it looks and taste like diarrhea. I calls them like I see them. I was all amped when I walked in the door, especially after seeing that beer special on Thursday nights. But, I was hoodwinked, I had been had, took. I had been run amuck and bamboozled. However, I‘m gonna go back today and give them an opportunity to redeem themselves with those cold nostalgic beers and cleverly named appetizers.

Oh, and for those of you still upset, I recommend you taking me up on my offer sometime in the spring or summer, so I can have a shipment of blue crabs and crawfish brought in for a badass crab boil. Just like Justin Wilson would say.......I Garontee!!!!

The one in Lincoln doesn‘t quite compare to the one in Mexico. I‘ve been to both and it‘s doesn‘t seem like the same at all. Viva Mexico!

Buzzard Billy‘s is to Cajun food as my mom is to a hot woman (i.e., not remotely similar).

I never been to Buzzard‘s in Lincoln, but I know Buzzard‘s Bar & Grill in San Jose del Cabo, Baja, Mexico -- and Buzzard‘s Bay in Los Barriles, Baja, Mexico (this is where I live, man -- Los Cabos) and both those places are so great... I just know the Buzzard‘s in Nebraska‘s gotta be the bomb, likewise... I know Lincoln a bit, and I think you guys up, out, over there gotta be blessed to have the folks at Buzzard‘s International givin‘ your burg the Buzz... Now what about Scottsbluff? Ya gotta have Buzz‘d‘s in Western NE, too! mk
