Sat on the restaurant side, food and service were excellent, as expected, but they had a trivia guy there, on the bar side, which was super loud throughout the whole building. Definitely wouldn't go back on this day/evening. I've visited many of the Gators Docksides and have never experienced this before, was caught a bit off guard after work.

Had a great experience! Our server was quick and attentive. Food was delicious and drinks were BOGO so you can't beat that!

Great food and friendly server. I ordered the cucumber jalapeno margarita hoping for a spicy drink, unfortunately it was not spicy. My family explained to the server that I love extreme spicy so the server asked the bartender to make the same drink but intensify the heat. The second drink was just want I was hoping for, I appreciate the server and bartender creating something just for me.

We have always had a great experience here. The staff is friendly and we've never had much of a wait to be seated. The food has always been excellent. The fried gator tail is delicious and our go-to dinner plate. Tried the island pork chops tonight and they were fantastic. It can get a little noisy but it is a sports bar so it's expected. Overall a great place to eat and definitely recommended.

Tasty food, good service, and laid back atmosphere. The menu has a variety of options. The Gator Taters were delicious, the homemade ranch brought the dish together. The Cajun Pasta was flavorful and spicy, but not too hot. All together great experience.

We had an excellent experience at this location. Our server Jenny was on point, delivered our order as ordered, very friendly and knew the menu well and gave excellent recommendations. Mario the manager on shift assisted with getting our meal to us a great help to Jenny. Danielle the bartender on shift knows how to pour a GOOD drink! Definitely one of their better locations to visit.
