First time coming here after living in Florida for 8 years although I've had take out before. Typical sports bar atmosphere and food. Friday night it wasn't too crowded...food was good and service was good as well.

I've always been a fan of Gator's Dockside, but my recent experience at the Baldwin location was incredibly disappointing.The nachos came out cold and barely had any toppings. We also ordered the loaded fries, which were topped with unmelted sprinkle cheese--it wasn't even warm enough to melt the cheese! The wings were over-fried, and I was served a glass of wine that was a completely different brand than what I ordered--it tasted awful.To make matters worse, our server was absent for most of the meal. I had to track her down three different times just to order additional food. While I didn't want to make a scene in front of the couple we were dining with, the lack of quality in the food and service was extremely frustrating.This is such a great location in a wonderful area, but we spent a lot of money and left feeling ripped off and disgusted with a tummy ache. Gator's Dockside Baldwin, you need to do better.

I went after meeting with the walk/run club across the street. It was a last minute decision with a friend. The drinks were mid. The food was nothing to write home about, but the service was amazing.We sat outside which was nice because my friend had her dog and the weather was perfect for it.

This Gators has been our go to spot on Fridays because it's convenient and the food is ok (wings are really only the menu item I like) . But yesterday's visit was the last. After being seated, the greeter forgot to advise the wait staff that we were sat, so we didn't see anyone for a bit to take our orders. Which seemed odd since the place was about empty. However, when our server did arrive, we could tell that she did not want to be there. After ordering, which included two appetizers, we waited about 25 minutes until the food arrived including the appetizers with the meals. Normally the appetizers come before the meals? Unfortunately my Wife's order was wrong (who puts raw mushrooms on a burger), the food was cold and the mozzarella sticks and fries may have been cooked in old oil, yuck! Not sure what happened to this restaurant. I normally could overlook the freezing temperatures, because my family liked setting, but lately it has gone downhill and I noticed this last time I did not recognize anyone from our previous visits. Wish you all well, but help is needed.

A local place to watch the game and have a few drinks to escape the heat. Food is normal bar food and the staff is super friendly. Cool theme as well.

Gators Dockside is the perfect place to watch some sports, grab a cheap beer and have some appetizers. The entree food not super stellar but then again what sports bar is? Come for the appetizers (fried pickles, fried cauliflower, wings) and a drink and you won't be disappointed! The service is always super great and prompt!

It was my first time coming to this sports bar... I liked the atmosphere because it's very family friendly, it even has a beach vibe. When I got there, there were several games playing at the same time in many TV's, so it was nice that everyone could watch what they wanted in the same place. We order some drinks and wings, probably one of the best wings when it comes to sports bar (the honey sauce is great)! The service was great, and I think I will definitely come back for a football game to watch it with some friends for next time. The view was also a highlight of this place, my husband and his friends told me that when he gets cooler outside the outside porch is even better (so note that for the fall). I will only recommend to get here with time, since parking can be challenging.

This particular Gator's Dockside is a great location situated in Baldwin Park. This is truly a great location and I am sure that other Gator's Dockside locations are quite envious of this location.The staff here are friendly and professional and only added to the overall experience. The menu here is centered around bar type food options (or if you prefer the term "pub grub"), but they do this food options justice and the food is pretty tasty.I have always enjoyed their Buffalo wings and the hamburgers are also something that I would recommend. Gator's Dockside is a great Florida chain of restaurants with quite a few locations (according to their website, they have twenty-seven locations throughout the Sunshine State). This particular Gator's Dockside is a great location and I would definitely recommend this location.

I went with a few friends, already knowing most of the reviews were less than favorable, but we still decided to give it a chance. The parking wasn't bad to find, and the area is really nice. I ordered sweet tea, the waiter comes out with cup of almost clear liquid, I take a sip and it's pretty much just sugar water. I got the Cajun chicken Alfredo as the entree. I was served a pile of noodles in cheese grease with sliced chicken on top. The chicken was good, didn't taste Cajun seasoned at all though. The sauce was basically melted Parmesan and grease. I ate a few bites before it was too much. It was also very loud, which was to be expected from a sports bar but the TV volume was bordering on too much. The waiter was nice, although the service was rather slow, even though there weren't many people there at all.

Gators is my go to for a classic American meal. They have amazing wings and the menu isn't priced too bad. Parking can be a challenge at times but there's a garage in the apartment behind gators. My favorite is the chilli with onions, cheese and sour cream (I add sour cream)z
