Gators Dockside

My sister and I stopped by Gator's Dockside for drinks and a quick bite, and it was a mixed experience overall.The Philly Cheesesteak was delicious--I'd definitely order it again! The onion petals were also a standout, with a perfect crispy texture and flavor. My sister ordered the seafood pasta, which she enjoyed, but I personally found the seasoning a bit too salty for my taste.The service is friendly, but it's been a bit slow on my last few visits. We usually have to flag someone down, and if you're not sitting at the bar, expect a longer wait for drinks. That said, they do offer decent drink specials, which is always a plus!If you're in the area, it's not a bad spot to pop into for a bite--especially on days when they have wing specials. It's also great for catching a game and hanging out for a while. This can certainly elevate the noise in the restaurant but I would still bring the family out as it is a very casual environment with booths away from the bar area.While I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this location, it's still worth a try if you're nearby!

Ambiance is great and the servers are attentive and kind. Have never been during a Saturday/Sunday for football but I could image the environment is very lively and fun. The food is pretty average, but definitely on par for this type of restaurant, sports bar vibe. Their appetizers in my option are the best options offered. I was a little underwhelmed with the buffalo chicken wrap, it was literally just chicken and lettuce but it was decent. BIGGEST PLUS: the food comes out so quick. You could be in&out in 30 minutes & if you're starving & want something quick Gator's would be a great option.

Great lunch specials. Food came out quickly. Best tator tots ever-extra crunchy. I had chicken blt wrap. Huge wrap and very filling. Definitely will be back. My friends ordered had fried pickles and boneless chicken with tots. She enjoyed it as well.

It's been a while since I found a sports bar with week night events EVERY night of the week. They have All You Can Eat Wings in 2024! The environment is typical grungy sports bar. Bathrooms always feel a little dirty but I appreciate they hang signs over the urinals so you know about upcoming events. I ordered 10 grilled wings, 5 Smokey BBQ and 5 Chipotle Honey BBQ. I liked the old menu that showed you the spice level. I've included new images of their menus and weekly specials. Overall a nice spot, good indoor and outdoor options, and a full parking garage to utilize. Service was very nice. I ordered ToGo from the bar and the nice bar tender let me know they have a formal take out station if I would like it to go faster or if I wasn't ordering a drink. I decided to order a drink and it barely took any time still. Will be back with friends for bingo and Trivia!

We came in for dinner after watching a Magic game and had a good experience. We sat outside in the lovely SoDo area. Our waitress was amazing and very nice. For food, I got the southwest egg rolls and fried pickles. Both were good. The pickles were hot with a good breading to pickle ratio. The southwest egg rolls had a good amount of filling and a bit of spice. It took a while for the food to trickle out of the kitchen, but otherwise it was a great time.

Walking in at night it was a little warm outside so we decided to dine inside. It wasn't too busy so we were seated immediately. The server was nice and bought us our menus. They had a few drinks on sale like the Jack and Coke and a Blueberry Mojito which we ordered. The drinks were kind of on the weak side, as you can see the Jack and Coke looks very light and my mojito tasted more like mixer and juice. We ordered the Gators Combo Platter which they brought it out to us fast, and it was average. Overall it was just an ok experience, will I go out of my way to come back to this location probably not but might I stop by if I'm shopping in SoDo maybe.

It is just okay. Always just okay service. Not a big fan overall. The wings have gotten smaller over the years.

Great day, my team won! But seriously, the wings here are good but a bit small. Good drinks and staff is pretty cool and friendly. Lots of TVs with different games. Will be heading back pretty soon!

I've never been a huge fan of Gator's, but went recently with friends since it was conveniently located for us. I was happy to see some menu items they didn't have the last time I was in! They added some lighter options and more fish items. I opted to try the superfood bowl which had sweet potatoes, kale, blueberries, tomatoes, edamame, cucumber, and choice of protein. I chose ahi tuna. It usually comes with quinoa as well, but they were out so they substituted rice for me. It was very tasty and filling! Other options that sounded good to me were ahi tuna with avocado and wonton chips and salmon skewers; I'd try those next time for sure. My bf enjoyed his fried gator tail and my friends shared the sampler platter. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd return to this location again!

Awful. "Grilled" wings were burnt beyond recognition. Fries are easily the worst in the city. Server was great- we didn't complain because my husband doesn't like confrontation but we will never be back.
