When it comes to eating out in Dickinson, you have to go off the beaten path to find some solid establishments. That means traveling east or west along FM 517 in an attempt to satisfy what you're in the mood for.The newly opened Gator's Bar and Grill seeks to change all that, and safe to say, it appears to be a harbinger in offering great, no frills dining along Dickinson's segment of the Gulf Freeway. I came here just before the post-work surge a little before 5 p.m. yesterday. It was easy to get a seat as I was situated in a booth mere moments after I walked in. My first takeaway of the place was it provided an atmosphere that it was open to all i.e. you can bring the whole family here. Seeing as it has "Bar and Grill" in its name and TVs at each corner, the uninitiated could be forgiven for thinking it was built for sports fans. However, that's a different story for a different day.I had my heart set on having their flamed grilled pork chop, but alas, they were sold out. In its place, I got the grilled chicken breast. My first go-around here commenced with a surprisingly big bowl of the baked potato soup. Hearty doesn't even begin to describe it. Every spoonful had me figuratively giving myself a pat in the back because as someone who loves baked potatoes, it occurred to me that they'd taste even better in some other form. Given its size, I was on my way to stuffed halfway through the bowl.The grilled chicken arrived before I finished the soup. At first glance, I was impressed with the presentation. Bowl of mac 'n' cheese on the top left, the entrée on the top right, a hunk of cornbread on the bottom left, and last but not least, the basmati lemon herb rice on the bottom right. Surely, the kitchen staff prepared my meal with excellent precision and care. Wow, just wow. The chicken was on point. Not only was it huge, but it bore a taste I would describe as fresh and devoid of grease. I really tasted the faint smokiness from the grill. And that to me says home cooked. The mac 'n' cheese and the rice made for nice pairings; I really enjoyed them both.Service wise, John A. really took care of me. He was frequently checking on me to make sure I was doing alright, as well as kept the sweet iced tea flowing. It would be really cool to come back here and have him as a server again.It's my hope the business succeeds as it's located in a strip center that doesn't have much places to eat. As I said earlier in the review, Gator's could start a trend in the Dickinson dining scene.

5 Stars!!! I hate to admit that I've passed by this intersection almost daily and never thought twice about this place. I'm uncertain how or why, but I always thought this was some rowdy adult bar. Boy was I mistaken! It's extremely kid friendly and the food is actually delicious. My mind was own when we stopped by last night after walking through the Christmas lights at Hopkins park. This place is very clean and the owners are local firefighters. I had the pleasure of speaking with them and they're so kind and humble. Very good people!The food was way above average. It's like your local Chilis or Applebees vibe, only the homemade food was a perfect 10!Our waiter, Shai, was spot on! He handle our kiddos perfectly and gave exceptional recommendations. This guy was so awesome that when my husband went to tip, he felt the need to disclose that our large table was already charged automatic gratuity, but that'd he really appreciated our generosity! I was very impressed! I highly recommend coming out to support this establishment if you're in the area!

We never had gator before so we weren't sure what to expect. Yep- it tastes like chicken! It may have been better if it was not over fried.The butte cake was so delicious!If you are not a fan of asparagus you may still want to try this one. They don't taste like asparagus, but more like fried pickles. Quite a nice surprise It's a bright and airy place with a great ambiance.

We were in town to catch carnival jubilee. Stopped here for dinner. The food and service by John were both amazing. We were a party of 7 with a child in a wheelchair. We were initially seated on the patio because no room inside. We finished our appetizers fighting flies and he offered to move us inside. We were pleased. We started with the appetizer sampler. Onions rings, buffalo wings, Texas toothpicks, cheese curds, fried pickles and Texas egg roll. It was all delicious and hot and fresh. We also ordered several margaritas. They were good too. Our entrees came out timely with a 6 oz filet add shrimp, baked loaded potato and milk and honey corn on cob. Several different burgers all good, bayou red fish with a cream sauce, chicken pot pie was Devine, and the chicken Florintine was to die for. We didn't make it to dessert too full. But they have nice variety. Please stop by and treat yourself when in or near Dickinson.

Food is good but everytime you go there it's slow and the service will still be horrible. Last time I went there I was 1 of maybe 3 ppl. The waiter never came once to check on me. I had to get up and go to the bar to get a refill and pay my tab.
