Blue Moon Cafe

Great food. Very laid back atmosphere.
Small and a little short on staff but that sort of added nicely to the place. Very good selection of beer and again the food was FABULOUS! Will be back soon.

I don't even know where to begin. The employees were not personable and the dishes were below subpar.

The dishes: she crab soup, chicken and shrimp gumbo, shrimp po'boy, Cajun chicken po'boy, side salad, and two waters.

Sadly, the waters were the only items that tasted halfway decent.

Where do I begin,
The gumbo, Parmesan crusted grouper with tomato cheese grits..WOWZER!!
Fried green tomatoes, fried seafood platter,
Smoked tuna dip & beignets all was
FANTASTIC!!.. Delicious!!
Eat here!!

You will be glad ya did!!

I love the small intimate restaurant atmosphere, but am excited about the new location. The Cajun offerings are a welcome change that adds a much needed variety to the area. Freshly prepared food and friendly owners.

This was my sister and brother in laws idea. Really not a bad hole in the wall. Quality was on par and one can pick up a drink. Ok, on the negative, some of the most delicious looking items are only provided for dinner or on Friday/saturaday. That being said, if you want a nice half a po boy and some good soup for chill prices, this is for you. I wanted to try their muffalotta or soft shell crab but only so much at one sitting. The corn and crawfish soup had some nice meaty bits, though one must like an onion hint with each bite. There seems to be some nights with some tunes and shrimp specials which might be cool. Be ware however, there is a tattoo joint nearby.

My word- it was GOOD! We found this place on Yelp, on the way to the beach, and really, on your way to the beach, almost nothing is bad :). But this little hole in the wall exceeded expectations and was delish! Po-boy catfish sandwich - perfectly fried without a bunch of heavy crust and the bread was fresh and just crispy enough for the po boy. The she crab soup was well seasoned, thick and plenty of she crab. The piece de resistance was dessert - beignets that were the best I've ever had! Hot, dusted in confectioners sugar, with a pillowy outside and a soft sweet center. We were fighting over who got the last bite. Nice service and the signs on the wall were hilarious. Great place for lunch!

I can't comment on these 1-star experiences people seem to be having, but personally, I think food this good deserves at least 3 or 4 stars minimum. I had the seafood gumbo which blew my mind. Fried oysters, sausage, crab, chicken, shrimp, scallops... I might be forgetting some things... Now I'm just a northerner that doesn't know much about Cajun food, but I am a verified fatty and my expertise in this arena tells me that this is top notch eating. And they don't skimp you on the portion either.

As for the service, I not only had great service but great company. I did cozy up to their small bar and planted myself among the employees however. The music, provided by one very talented man, was top notch.

I can't imagine why the place wasn't filled with more people looking to grub. Might be location or might be something else, but if I ever become a local, this place will definitely become one of my go-to's. The food is definitely worth the drive or overcoming whatever other hesitation you may have.

P. S. I forgot to mention the beignets, but I'll let your imagination take the reins on that one.

Went with a party of 6 and was seated immediately. Someone in our party has been before and swore how good the food was, but with a quick glance at my phone and the reviews on Yelp, I was pretty pessimistic about what I was going to find here.

I ordered the Catfish BLT PoBoy, and wow, was it good! I didn't dissect the contents as another reviewer did to try each element individually, but as a whole, I really enjoyed this sandwich. As a matter of fact, I have catfish in the freezer now that I bought JUST to mimic this sandwich at home!

The rest of the table really enjoyed their meals. Many had the soup / sandwich combos and they raved about what they had. My Father-in-law still talks about how the soup was some of the best he ever had.

Where they lost a star was their service. They did have 4 other tables sat at the time, but once the order was placed, it was hard to find our server to get refills or even the check. Not a huge deal, but a bit annoying when you have to get up and walk to find them.

When in Dothan, I will make it a point to come back here.

This has become my favorite restaurant in Dothan. It looks like a dive, but the food is off the chain! I generally don't care for fried food because there is usually more batter than seafood. Here, there is a light dusting of what I think is fine ground corn meal for just a bit of crunch. The tomato grits are the most amazing! They seem to go with everything. I love the she cream soup and shrimp etouffee.

I LOVE a good "hole in the wall with great food", and Blue Moon definitely fits the bill! Our party of four shared two appetizers--Boudin balls and tuna dip, and they were both exceptional. We each had different entrees--grouper, shrimp, crab cakes--and ALL were SO good! It's a laid back atmosphere with great, personal service. I do wish they had a better wine selection, but the beer selection seemed to be much better. Definitely a great find in a town full of too many chain restaurants.
