AJ Gator's Sports Bar & Grill

Ommmmg def some of the best she crab soup very flavorful and packed with real crab meat! Stopped in with a party of 5 on Saturday 2/15/25 the waitress told us she's the only one taking orders and she busted her tail all night have to give her kudos for staying positive and attentive all our food was correct! Highly recommend the she crab soup.

Stopped in for a late lunch on our drive between Virginia Beach and Nags Head, the menu looked pretty good online. We got there and it just looked like a fairly average sports bar and at the time we went they weren't busy. I can see it being a local hangout, but nothing special for a Sunday at 1-2PM. We ordered, my girlfriend got a small order of the nachos and I ordered the Diablo burger. Everything wasn't bad but wasn't exceptional either, my biggest complaints would be that the burger was certainly over cooked for what I had asked for and had mushrooms on it even though I ordered it without. Also while not ridiculously priced, you can can get a lot higher quality food for similar price. It's ok in a hurry but we won't go out of our way to stop here again.

This place just saved my day!! We really wanted fried pickles and doordash choices just weren't cutting it! Tried several things as a test drive. They were very quick with door dash. Fried pickles have a great spice! Fried chicken tenders are a pass. No seasoning by themselves, and the sauce was on the side and wasn't great. Fries were good! Crab dip needs a little oomph but at least it was t crazy salty the crab was nicely flavored. Have a she crab soup I didn't open yet, but I'll update later. By FAR and away the best darn thing I've had in a restaurant in years is their steak bites! Holy mother of Pearl, they're fabulous!!!Update: she crab soup is PERFECT.

I wanted to take my daughter for a mommy/daughter dinner. Courtney who was our waitress this afternoon was amazing. She did not know their flat top was down which took out half the menu. She immediately sprang into action. Side note: my daughter has an extreme allergy which she attends treatments once every two weeks. So we treat her with going out to eat the night before. When they have a full menu, this location is where we frequent.Courtney was not only polite but really apologetic about the situation and made a frustrating situation into one that continues to make me a loyal customer. They have great food and great service. That was evident today. Thank you... to AJ Gators and especially Courtney.

Ok low key place, food was decent. Step above dive bar with the vibe of a very average sports bar.

Burgers and wings are my go to over here. I'm in love with this location because it doesn't get as busy as the other Aj gators around town. Find a seat.. there was many options and booths to choose from.Best time to come is around lunch time for the food prices and deals. Sunday is military discount and Saturday the kids eat free. The slider bites are my kid's favorite. Two sliders per kid and big nicely cooked cuts of fries. The sliders were cooked to perfection and you can have a choice on the type of cheese of choice for the toppings. Gator tails for appetizer tasted just like chicken and the kids were deceived to believe they ate chicken. They actually liked it. This is the only place around here for real farm raised gator. The mushroom and Swiss burger is amazing as well as all the burgers on the list. The cool really knows how to master cooking the beef patty to perfection. My husband is a fan of the burgers here.The chicken wings here are great for everyone. I love the BBQ honey buffalo sauce and u can't go wrong with the mild to hot sauces. The chipotle one is just ok. I eventually need to try the other sauces.Our waitress was good. She had only been working there for one month. She was very friendly.As far as wait time it wasn't so bad knowing that they had to redo the sliders because they placed the wrong cheese on it. We had requested for a side of lettuce and pickles and although they had forgotten it, our waitress was able to make sure we had our entire order complete.Thanks to yelp I got 10% off one entree. Next time I come I'm going to shoot some pool on a Saturday when kids eat free! I enjoy the family atmosphere and the casual but friendly vibe, good music and entertainment. Best place to watch the came, play pool, have drinks with friends or bring your family.

I would say this place is leaps down from a chili's.We walked in and wished we just walked out. There is no one to tell us to sit where ever or wait to be seated...so we waited and then after at least a minute of standing around someone yelled for us to take a seat anywhere...don't even know if they worked there. There was a bartender and one waitress on around 2pm. The service was horrible and extremely slow. Took seven minutes to get acknowledged. Took another 5 for water we ordered. Took 25 minutes for our order to get served. Waitress never came back to check if things were ok, to refill our drinks or to make sure our food was decent. The food was sitting for awhile before served. The fries and burger and wrap was cold and the coleslaw was room temp. When people and businesses serve food that can and did make us sick.. need to re-evaluate things.nastiest place ever

I will start by saying the service was good and quick (Thank you Tori). That's the only good thing I have to say about this place. The table we got sat at was dirty for one. We came on a Thursday and ordered the special for wings, they were the worst tasting wings I've ever had. I came in starving excited to eat and was willing to eat the bad wings however on the TV they were playing "operation smile" which is essentially kids getting surgery on their faces. Yes, they had real life surgery on TV at a restaurant. That ruined my appetite so I barely ate. Now drinks, I ordered a captain and coke and it tasted like normal coke so I asked for another shot to put in it. When the shot came out it was the most off colored rum I've ever seen. Fairly certain there was water mixed into the bottle which would explain the horrible drink. Bottom line, don't waste your time or money here.

Waited for waitress at a dirty table 12 minutes then waited another 35 fir our food. Overcooked and unappealing.

Visited the AJ Gator in Fairfield Shopping Center in Va Beach Virginia with a friend, we ordered 2 chicken philly cheese sandwiches 1 with fries other with onions rings both orders came out COMPLETELY wrong. What was sent out was 2 beef philly sandwiches & wrong side(s). I understand mistakes happen but my friend has not eaten beef in over 15yrs (almost ate the beef philly) I rarely eat beef & I did consume some of the beef unknowingly (it was challenging to recognize it was beef b/c it was covered in onions, mushrooms & cheese our area was dimly lit. Brought to waitress' attention immediately & waitress, "Said the kitchen got it completely wrong."Order was corrected immediately. Before leaving, I notified the manager (Kelsey) her response was did they bring you out another sandwich & I said yes but I wanted to let her know what was going on in her kitchen. Kelsey (manager) said next time I needed to speak clearer to the waitress.....I was like, Huh? Not taking responsibility for her cooks' error. She NEVER Apologized or asked what could be done to compensate for my experience. Bill was already paid for & Definitely wasn't looking for a free meal a simple Apology would have been much appreciated. With manager service like this I will NOT Be returning and will be telling friends & family about my experience. I will be contacting their corporate office in the morning.
