Lemon paper wings! Bone in Server was very friendly. We went at a slow time which was nice because I felt like we didn't wait too long for the wings to come out. Can't remember what my friend had but if the wings look appetizing show your server this picture ;)

The food it was really good. I had a Santa Fe chicken salad, which was huge. I could've fed a family of four. Chicken was well seasoned. It came with diced, pickled jalapeños, avocado, cheese, lettuce, corn, salsa, diced tomatoes, diced red onion. It was excellent way too much for me to eat, and it said me for dinner and lunch the next day lol she was nice and crunchy was a real treat.Hubby had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich which was really good. The french fries are preseason so we didn't need any catch-up. They were really delicious and nice and crispy.We had a super friendly server. We sat at the bar looking out over the storm that was approaching lots of friendly people. Server was really cool. She was very friendly, very helpful and you could tell she knows all the local to come in.How do you say this is a chain restaurant but it certainly didn't act out or feel that way. It was very local feeling lots of locals hanging out and the bartender was super friendly everyone made you feel very welcome.

We wanted to try Gator and heard that Gator dockside does serve gator on their menu. We opted for the plain gator fried tail.The gator was ok. It honestly tasted like chicken, just rally fatty chicken. Also I'm not sure how much meat was in there but I mainly tasted the batter more than anything. I'm glad to say I tried gator now though.The service was ok, our beer that we ordered took an unusually long time to get to us, I think because they switched servers about 3 times and they forgot.

The grilled wings here are delicious!Came here with a colleague after work hours. The restaurant was pretty empty after 4pm hours. My colleague ordered gator bites and I opted the FLATS grilled wings with the Honey Garlic sauce. They charged extra 75 cents for ordering just FLATS just FYI which I was not aware of until I saw the tab.Service here was ok. The server was nowhere to be found after needing refills on my drink. The grilled wings were delicious I can taste the grilled flavor and the honey garlic sauce was delicious. They offer AYCE boned in wings on Mondays for $19.99 stated by our server.I think thats a deal. MY 5 pcs flats wings costs me about $8 and change so the AYCE deal is not bad at all.3 stars for the service because the restaurant was empty and no excuse for the server to be MIA.

This place is always busy so I thought it had to be fantastic. I was disappointed. The Turkey "club" was good but I always thought a club had 3 pieces of bread, this was a normal Turkey sandwich. The fries were good. The soda tasted like they've never cleaned the machine. My friend got a burger. He said the frozen burgers he gets at Walmart taste betterThe decor is interesting. I like it.

Started with the gator tail bite appetizers. One Greek salad, one New York style hotdog, chicken wings with with gator sauce, and mojo pork taco. Great service, plenty big screen TVs with sports, good music and a fun crowd. No mask wearing in Florida - land of the free. Overall we really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back. Would be a great place to watch a football game on a Sunday afternoon. Would have been 4 stars but our server forgot about us the last 20 minutes when we were ready to leave after 11 hours of travel.

7:05 pm. Haven't ordered anything yet and i know the experience is already not good. Bartender is slow. She noticed me but has not acknowledged me whatsoever. Just served the guy next to me and she said sorry it took forever to get his refill. You can smell her across the room, she bathe in perfume. Do you not know how to hire people that supposed to be represent and a salesperson person for your establishment? It's 7:13pm and still waiting to be served or at least acknowledge.

What happened to Gators Dockside food quality?I have been a customer for over 30 years, since the first store opened in Jacksonville, FL. The food was always perfect and the wings were the absolute best. Over the last year, something has changed. The food quality is actually quite bad now. This is the 5th and last time I have tried Gators over the last year where the food has been bad. I am not that picky of a person at all, but I am now no longer a fan. I just had Grilled Habanero Wings delivered to me that were undercooked and never even touched the grill. They were disgusting, but I ate a few of them because I was hungry. The rest were tossed away. These came from the 8219 Fenton Street address in Orlando, FL.
