I've had Gator's a number of times in the last few years and I'm not sure if it was an off night or if the quality has gone downhill.I ordered two buffalo chicken wraps, French onion soup, coleslaw and fried pickles for delivery. While the French onion soup was tasty, it was 95% mushrooms and cheese, almost as if they forgot the soup. For my buffalo chicken wrap, I chose hot and it was way more spicy than it's been in the past. For my dad's wrap, he went with BBQ, and it was much better. The fried pickles were really salty and I'm still thirsty hours later.On the plus side, the portions were big. My friend unexpectedly came over and we had more than enough food for her while still having some leftovers.I'd try Gator's again in person, but overall, I was really disappointed with the food.

American style resturant specializing in Wings. The service was amazing. Staff was well above. we left a greater than 25 percent tip. The ambiance is sports bar. so.med to loud level bunch of kids at the gaming area and plenty if tvs for local.and national games. We have been frequent flyers here........now for bad news. the wings were sub par. the lemon pepper came out. no lemon and less pepper. we asked for new ones and those came out overly basted......we will be looking for a new wing hang out for sure......

We were here with a large group and the service couldn't have been better. Of course we understood trying to accommodate over 40 people has its challenges, but they did it well. The food was served hot and to our liking. The wings with scooter sauce are our favorite!My daughter had the ribs that were fall-off-the bone and she loved them.

I went on a Thursday evening with my colleagues for a get-together. Another colleague made a reservation at 7, but I arrived early. I was seated at a large table while I waited for my colleagues. Once my mates arrived, I decided to do a drink. Unfortunately, they do not have the hurricane drink anymore, so I did a mojito with an extra shot of rum (a little over 10 dollars). I am happy that I paid for the extra rum, as it provided the extra strength to give the right amount of buzz. It was nothing special, but good enough to enjoy. For food, I ordered from their special menu and tried the shrimp quesadilla (about 13 dollars). There was a good amount of quesadilla and shrimp, but nothing much else. The quesadilla was a bit well done with the black marks and I didn't see any other ingredients inside. The hot sauce I asked for was just Tabasco, which added some heat and flavor. The salad on the side was just lettuce. So it was just fine at best.The service was good, prompt, and helpful. Since there were about 15 people in our group, I guess extra attention was given. The atmosphere was stereotypical bar setting, and I am very glad I dressed extremely casual. Music was your regular American pop music, which I don't really care for. There were some arcade games and crane games. Being Gators, there were gator decorations and statues, but none to hop on and ride... Sad! For about 24 dollars for the food and drink, I really didn't expect much. The quesadilla was acceptable, which would give this place 3.5 stars. But for the relatively strong drink and the good service, I would round up to a 4. The prices are right for a bar, and it looked clean as well. I will try their wings next time I visit.

Gator's Dockside has been around the Orlando area at least since I moved down here back in 2001 and this location, which is in Lake Mary, Florida, is a great representative of this Florida restaurant chain.Gator's Dockside has some great wings. That has always been my go-to at this chain. The atmosphere is fun and lively and the staff is friendly and helpful.Lake Mary, Florida has certainly grown and come into its own as a community. One of the great upsides of this growth is that more dining and nightlife options are available and you don't have to head to Orlando to grab dinner.This particular Gator's Dockside is a fun location and I would definitely recommend a visit to.this particular Gator's Dockside if you are in the Lake Mary, Florida area.

Went during all you can eat boneless wings on a Wednesday night. My friends and I didn't know there was trivia going on so that was a good surprise. For the service it was okay. The waiter was really nice but it took forever for my wings to come out, not sure if it was the kitchen's fault or the waiter's. The table was able to go through two rounds of wings before I was able to get my first. I also had to keep repeating my order to the waiter. For the wings, it was also okay. I got the garlic parmesean and I didn't really taste any of the garlic or the parmesean, just kinda tasted like a chicken nugget. I also got the Dr. Pepper wings which was better than the garlic parmesean (had more flavor), but I found that the chicken was a little dry. The trivia was the best part of the night. I had a really good time trying to answer random trivia questions with my friends, we got competitive by the end of it. The place was nice and clean, had a lot of arcade games but I couldn't play any of them since I needed quarters. I wish they had tap to pay on those claw machines. Overall, my night at Gator's Dockside was fun, I personally would look for another wing place, but if you're in the mood for hanging out with friends and having a good time on a budget, this is the place to be!

It's a sports bar. But they're nice, have really expanded their menu and are a great value. Will keep going.

Came in for the first time on a Thursday night at 10pm ( they close at 11). When we came in there was still people eating but it wasn't busy at all. We had to wait a few min before we were acknowledged and sat down and right after us was a line of 3/4 people waiting for pick ups. They didn't see to happy that we were there , but we're polite enough.It is a big sports bar with 2 bars and nice beer and wings vibes.To drink I had the blue coconut frozen margarita which was good. To eat I had the garlic Parmesan wings and Mac and cheese. I think the Mac needed more seasoning, but the wings were really good.My husband had the grilled mahi mahi tacos. Those were absolutely terrible. Unseasoned and just plain bad. Go for the wings and a good time. Maybe I'll go again to try something else.

This was our second time coming here because my boyfriend and I wanted a quick drink and bite to eat before heading out with our errands. We were self-seated at the bar and it took maybe about 10-15 minutes to someone to finally notice us. We ordered two pints of Yuengling, mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms and traditional wings.The beers were cold but we were set off by the amount of fruit flies that were swarming around the bar. The mozzarella sticks were the best thing we ordered. It was still stringy and crispy. The traditional wings didn't have much sauce of them and was breaded way too thick. The fried mushrooms, which was supposed to be a "hit" was bland and every time I bit into one, it was like an oily starburst. No taste even with the ranch. Our bar tender was very kind, though. Way too overwhelmed to be serving the bar herself. She definitely needed a second hand to handle a full bar. It doesn't help that the party next to us was obnoxious and way too loud for no reason. Kept calling her for shots when she was taking other orders. She was over it and it showed.
