About Uncle Mick’s

It was 2009 when Uncle Mick’s first opened its doors on West Main Street in Prattville. With a focus on authentic-Cajun cuisine, the restaurant quickly became a favorite among locals and those just passing through town.

Owned by Mickey Thompson, Uncle Mick’s offered a cafeteria-style experience with a rotating menu of cooked-from-scratch meals, sides and desserts. It was also known for its quirky decor of unique items collected by Thompson, like mounted animal heads, old tools and irreplaceable works from local and regional artists.
