Well, it's Football Sunday, January 5, 2025. Everyone is so excited Gators is packed and fun is being had by all. As always, the food is delicious! Rarely are thanks given to the wonderful staff in the Culinary workspace. Kudos to the chefs, cooks, and their assistants for the delicious food that they prepare for our enjoyment, keep up the great job. The service is fast and friendly. They have a very large bar and plenty of inside and outside seating. For those not familiar with Gators, they also have TV's outside. If you have never been, you absolutely must treat yourself to this great sports bar. Their menu offers a great variety of mouthwatering food

Last time I visited Gators in person was in late 2019. Great experience, wait staff was very helpful, and it was your typical noisy sports bar. Gave off vibes of hole-in-the-wall, but with slightly better food. Fast forward nearly 5 years later, and hubby and I decide we want chicken for dinner, and the boneless wings have some interesting flavors and seemed like a good price for food. So we ordered 20 wings at $27.99. Imagine our surprise when getting our food and seeing the smallest, saddest boneless nuggets we have ever seen. They were each maybe the size of a quarter, and the sauce choices left a lot to be desired. Imagine your ranch and blue cheese dipping sauce containers being bigger than your wings? We ended up throwing them out and going to Huey Magoos where were got 7 full sized tenders, fries, 2 pieces of toast, and a drink for under $20.Save your money and go anywhere else.

This place is what I would call ok in a pinch. We were seated promptly and waited on quickly. We waited q long while for our drinks and food to arrive, which surprised me because the table seated after us were served food before our drinks arrived. Got the 2/1 drink with captain morgan and the drink tasted very watered down. I felt like I was drinking watery coke. Soup, burger and boneless wings were good but the chicken salad lacked flavor. The chicken itself was flavorless and there was not enough blue cheese. The dish would have benefitted from some crunchy pecan contrast. As far as surroundings go it was fairly quiet. Table was clean. In a world of many places to eat it wasn't impressive enough for me to care to go back. I say if you are offering a two for one drink, don't water it down. I'm not a heavy drinker and this drink didn't even give me the slightest feeling there was rum in it.

lThis particular Gator's Dockside is located in Winter Springs, Florida and if you are unfamiliar with Gator's Dockside, they are a Florida based chain of bar/restaurants that offer a menu based around typical bar food, or if you prefer ther term, "pub grub."The staff here is friendly and professional and the ambiance is fun and comfortable. Gator's Dockside has multiple locations and honestly, I have never had a negative experience at any of their locations. Their history can be traced back to 1991 and I believe that their first location was in Jacksonville, Florida. They have since spread throughout Florida and I am impressed with the fact that I cannot remember a negative experience at any of their locations. Overall, I would definitely recommend this particular Gator's Dockside and I will give it five stars.

Came for wings and they were all delicious. Very flavorful! I would say, I wish the wings were more wet but overall, 10/10! The service and our waitress Janel were amazing! Also, the fries were delicious as well! They also had face painting for the kids and bingo on Tuesdays.

Gator bites and Fried pickles it's hard to mess that up. Honestly, the food wasn't anything special but the service was outstanding and everyone that I interacted with at work there was genuinely kind and helpful. The fried pickles were fine. The ranch was great the gator bites last time I had them were way too dry at this time. They were good even my little one enjoyed them.

Good wings. But I wish they could consistently get the order totally correct.I usually order my to go wings naked, with Scooter sauce on the side. Buuuttt, when we get them home...no Scooter sauce! The wings are good, but better with sauce!

Came with a party of 27 and the service was phenomenal, the food was delicious and the price was great. There are so many choices. I haven't been to a Gators in years and was a little bit hesitant, because I just think of it as a bunch of greasy food. However, they had many options for vegetarians, including buffalo cauliflower, and a super food bowl both of which were delicious. My husband got the wings and really enjoyed them. They also offer vegetarian wings.

This was my first time eating at Gators Dockside and I can't wait to go back. From the food and drinks to the service and entertainment everything was amazing. Rienet was our waitress and she was so friendly and personable. Any questions we had she was able to answer them. I asked her what her recommendations were and I ordered everything she recommended and was so happy with everything! For appetizers we ordered the Gator Tail and the Mozzarella Cheese Sticks. Both were so delicious and fried to perfection. The gator tasted so good and had a nice light chew to it. The gator tail came with their own gator dipping sauce and oh my goodness it was the best! If they sold that sauce I would have bought a gallon of it. The Mozzarella sticks had the perfect cheese pull and a great breading to cheese ratio.For entrees we ordered 5 Nashville Hot, 5 Lemon Pepper, and Chicken Cajun Alfredo. I'm not lying when I say the wings here are the best wings I've ever had! The Nashville Hot had amazing flavor and the perfect amount of heat. The lemon pepper had the perfect amount of seasoning and tasted really good. The Chicken Cajun Alfredo was so creamy and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I loved the garlic bread that accompanied the pasta and it was great for dipping into the Alfredo sauce. My kids ordered the classic burger (bacon added) and the kid's chicken tenders. The chicken tenders were perfectly fried and crispy yet still juicy on the inside. And the classic burger was perfectly cooked with great seasoning and toppings. Their fries here are really good so we ordered more on the side. They are the perfect balance between crispy and soggy and are flavorful especially when dipped in whatever sauce you have on the table. We got a pitcher of Yuengling Beer and it came out nice and cold and the the price I recommend getting a pitcher. Now for the entertainment, they have multiple claw machines and a couple racing games. Thankfully they have an ATM machine so I could withdrawal cash. Anytime there is a claw machine I have to play! I was able to win two prizes so the claw machines here are fair and you can definitely win. I highly recommend eating here and can't wait for the next time I go back.

I go here for the wings and that's it. Give me the wings, give me the flavor options and I'm happy. Gators has such a towny feel which isn't a bad thing. There's always a game on which is a good thing. There's a decent draft selection, service is usually good, I really don't have any complaints. Just don't expect to order take out on weekend nights because they do get insanely busy. Order early.
