Overall a decent sports bar/grab a bite. I've never had a burger prepared the way I ordered when I've been there and had a burger, but today I did not get a burger. Cod sandwich with the "spicy" breading. The fish certainly was not the most fresh. I could tell it had to have been a frozen fish recently. I KNOW, everyone uses frozen product, but this was special; a little chewy, semi dry, and just a less fresh flavor. The fries slapped! Overall, a good lunch date with my mom, just never blown away by this place when I hear people raving about it often enough.
Nice greeting when we entered. Comfortable seating. Quick and friendly waitress. Food was very good. I had boneless wings and they were large and tasty. Paid bill via iPhone. This location was one of a chain of “Gators”
We stopped by on a Saturday around 2pm and it was busy but not too busy. The service was fast and there are TV’s everywhere to keep you occupied. The buffalo chicken wrap was so good with Dr Pepper sauce. We split some tots and my wife had the boneless wings. Everything was delicious and the drinks were great as well.
Arrived for an early dinner (5:00) Started out with 2 of the Blueberry Spritzer Drinks (came is the smallest glass they had) & the fried mushrooms...they were really good. Asked if they had any melted cheese to dip them in instead of ranch dressing; waitress said they had queso dip...which would work (when the bill came it was a $2.50 up charge; she should've at least let us know. Ordered the Smashed Gator Burger & asked if they had cinnamon & sugar prior to upgrading the side to Sweet Potato Fires ($2.99 up charge) & was told they did. I was asked if I wanted lettuce, tomato, onion, & pickle for it & I said yes. Hubby ordered the Italian Grinder off the lunch menu & was told immediately that there would be a $3.00 upcharge because the lunch time was over. Well just look at the photos...no cinnamon & sugar on the well done sweet potato fries...no lettuce, tomato, pickles. Had to wait for the waitress to bring what was missing & was given "caramel topping" to use with the sweet potato fries because they ran out of cinnamon & sugar!?!? Really?? Huge disappointment. At least when I said that the burnt sweet potato fries weren't edible for me, the waitress did offer to bring another side....but...I had to wait quite a while to get the tator tots that I settled with for a replacement that the manager finally brought to our table. I'd hate to see how much worse the service would be if they actually had 75% of it full with customers. For the price, the service was poor. If you'd like to try some "alligator" based food, give them a try...maybe you'll have better luck than we did. At least we gave the restaurant a try, but it's a hard NO ...we'd ever dine there again.
Alexis was an outstanding waitress! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our dining experience was smooth from start to finish. She anticipated our needs without being overbearing and had a great attitude the entire time. Her service was efficient, and she made us feel truly welcomed. Highly recommend asking for Alexis if you dine here! I also ordered the mojo pork tacos and they were delicious .
