Gator's Dockside Apopka

Bring back the gator chips We love the staff and we love the restaurant.We always go on Tuesdays, the kids eat free, get their some animal balloons and their face painted.It's always clean, the staff is always super friendly, everyone is just nice.My kids love the smiler fries, wings and burgers.No complaints, ever!Full accessible with lots of parking!

Came here for a work function. They nicely had an area set up for us off to the side of the restaurant. Our server, Paul, was fantastic! He didn't mind everyone having separate checks and served us with much quickness. There are lots of tvs to watch sports and this place really is great for large groups as well as just a couple of peeps. The food was the big miss for me. My boneless wings were hard as a rock. They were served with a serrated knife and I was still having a hard time cutting through some of the smaller ones. They were also mostly bread instead of chicken. I didn't try the steak tips. Wish I had. They looked delicious !

Grilled wings are my favorite from here . With a nice side Caesar. I love the staff here all cool and love sports .

If you like to have options for casual dining, Gator's provides plenty of choices, good food, and pleasant customer service. Groups are welcome.

Food and service is always very good! I love the wings and salads! I've had a smash burger that was pretty good as well!

The wings are good if you order them exactly how you want them (extra crispy, extra wet...) They are good with that. The service is friendly and the drinks are good also. I don't recommend the nachos with chicken. They might have been better with the chili but I'll never order them again so I won't find out I was looking for a more fully loaded type of nacho. I had to ask for extra toppings to make them look better. I did not get my nacho fix this night.

We love Gators and they are consistent each time. Their specials are great. Our favorites are all you can eat wings and the kids night where they do balloon animals and face painting along with free kids meals. They have arcades and and a bunch of TV's. The service has also been great.

Great lil bar food place to watch the UCF games. Great draft beer prices. Cocktails are the typical bar wells with the extreme overly-sweet mix. They give me a stomach ache. I'll just stick to drafts which is what I like to drink when watching the game so it's all good.The fish and chips are legit. So stinking good. I got plantains instead of coleslaw. They are fried sweet plantains. My hubs got the ahi tuna bowl. This dish was far above the atmosphere here. He said "it was very very good. Cooked on point. " That's his speak for 'I'm coming back and ordering this every time.' Haha.Our waitress, Laiyah, was amazing. Friendly, helpful, efficient. Really the only thing disappointing to us was our cocktails. And not because the bartender was bad....just the quality of mixes was super poor.That said, if you love sweet, these are super sweet!

Just like other Gators in the area and we had great service. We happened to be up in this side of town and decided to pop in for a dinner.We ordered a bunch of appetizers for our table to share and fill up on. They all came out as ordered, hot and as requested. We enjoyed the drinks, food, and sports on the TVs. We had some amazing service and I had written down our servers name, but can't find the paper.Great time.

GD is all around a great place for family and friends. Wings are my go-to finger food here. All of the sauces have their appeal, but the house gator sauce is good, but the best kick of sweet and hot is the mango habanero sauce. I usually ask for extra sauce on the side for dipping. Get 'em grilled, Buffalo, breaded, boneless... no matter how... you can't go wrong.My wife LOVES, I mean LOVES the mashed potatoes here with the classic BROWN gravy. It's a good sized side option for whatever plate you order. She always get the Wingers platter. Gators has almost anything you can think of from appetizers, salads, sandwiches, full on dinner plates and even options for vegetarians.There are TVs galore everywhere you turn your head and music in the background. Usually there is a TouchTunes player where you can choose songs from an app on your phone. Come on over and enjoy a casual drink or a full on meal with choice of sides.
