Come on Gators, no silverware available with our meal !!! This place has gone down in the last year. We went in on a Thursday night early. Not crowded. Meals came. We had to ask for silverware. Waitress brings over cheap flimsy plastic silverware wrapped in plastic like we were on a picnic !! Seriously ?? Waitress says, «sorry, we ran out of silverware !» Two bites into the meal the plastic folk broke. How about hiring a dish washer or buying more silverware!!! By the way, the food was mediocre compared to 2 years ago. Not worth going back.

This place is good. My boyfriend and I are very big fans of their Philly cheesesteaks. They are amazing. They have many great appetizers also, but I would suggest getting take out. Service is usually not great and not attentive.

Been coming here for almost two years and each time we come the food quality continues to go down, managers that stand around and aren’t helpful at all. Tried to come for brunch one Sunday and walked out without being served after sitting for a half hour at our table and watching the manager and a server playing whatever video game they have in there. It’s a good atmosphere and a lot of fun if you’re going just to drink as they have the best bartenders in Miranda and Derek but aside from that I wouldn’t recommend eating here as most nights they are understaffed and service is less than fantastic.

I really feel bad about this review for 2 reasons, 1 I don’t like to paint any business in a bad light based on 1 waitress/representative, and 2 I took 5 co-workers with me on my recommendation. The service was slow, and they were not busy at the time. The waitress gave 2 people the wrong drinks(I know that happens) but stood there like she expected them to just exchange straws when this was brought to her attention. The final straw(no relation) was when we were leaving. A co-worker was walking to the restroom and the waitress was walking the same direction, but a few feet away. She was talking bad about us…(not the 1st woman in my life to do this, however this was uncalled for) So. I decided to write this poor review. I hope this helps or that management sees this and takes some action. I will continue to go to other locations of Gator’s…but would rather eat broken glass washed down with isopropyl alcohol than step foot back in this place.

We’ve been to this place number out times and each time service is awful. Made reservations for a large party on two occasions and all in the parties were very disappointed. They put us in the way back in 2 booths when we requested the high tops. Beer was flat and servers seemed to be put out when asked for a new beer. Food is pretty good. Standard bar food. Wouldn’t choose that place for a large gathering or if you’re in a hurry.

Food was just OK and the service was awful. Food took over a ½ hour to come out and it was cold. Cannot blame the kitchen. Food was sitting in the back and not picked up. Went there to watch a Patriots game and wasted a bunch of money. Wings weren’t even that good and they are supposed to be famous for that?

Don’t do it, never got our gator bites, Cobb salad had raw chicken in it and the gyros were 2 flavorless lonely pitas for 11.99.

Went to the new Gator’s in the World Golf area and picked up some wings to go. The wings are great and I highly recommend them. However, I recommend they identify which wings are in which basket. We had an order of 50, which was separated into baskets of 10 each, but had to guess on some of the flavors, as we could not determine the exact flavor of the some of the wings. Otherwise, I am a fan!

A sports bar in an area in desperate need. The TVs are great and so is the setup. Been here several times and it is always the same. Food is average and inconsistent; service, other Than the bar, is below average. Expect slow and inexperienced without a strong customer focus. Keep your expectations low if you are looking for a place in the area to hang and watch a game and you will be fine. Definitely not a destination spot.

Been sitting here ten minutes and not the first sign of a wait staff. They seriously expect a tip? Not gonna happen. One star because I cannot give zero. Ended up giving a tip anyway, the poor waiter did what he could. Still fifteen minutes before anyone spoke to us? Burgers were way rare, didn’t bring everything we asked for. Won’t be back.

Pretty sad experience. We went there on a Saturday morning about 11:00 a.m. and we were greeted by or rather not greeted by 4 young ladies who were more interested in the delivery driver than taking care of us. We were finally seated and given the wrong menus. They were the weekday lunch specials. It was just one miscue after another like that. The food was okay but a little over priced. I suppose for swilling beer and watching games this place might work but for a Saturday lunch break there are better places all around.

Large sign over the bar stating«happy hour all day everyday 241 domestic drafts». This only includes the overpriced mini mugs of beer. Everything else is full priced. I ordered 4 small Miller Lites and my tab came to $ 14. You can get the same up the road at Cheers for $ 6.25. Service here is slow and the food is mediocre at best. Stay away!!!

Ok wing place. I like their wings, you get multiple options. The other food is average. Great place to watch the game. Very organized by teams and what tv they are on. Great late night spot for a drink though.

We went there at 4 on a Sunday. We ordered 10 wings, the Cuban, and a beer. Our tab was thirty bucks and was definitely not worth that much. The wings were fine(let’s be real, it’s hard to go wrong there) but the sandwich was blah. A Cuban should be full of flavor and this Cuban seriously lacked. Our service was terrible. Our server visited us one time because she realized we drank all of our water. She didn’t ask if we wanted more beer(we found out after that it was 2-for-1). When we asked for our check we waited ten minutes because she waited on another table next to us, got their drinks, etc. We put the card on the table and after about 5 minutes, the manager came to finish her job. If the food is blah, then make up for it in enthusiastic service. Being nice or pretending that you care can make that 15% bump up to 20% just like that!

Went here for the ufc sat night fights. Service was good. Everyone enjoyed their food. Lots of TVs which is great to watch the fights. Very clean bathrooms and restaurant looks cleaner than the other gator dockside’s that I’ve seen. The bar opens to the outside which allows the smoke to come inside which is gross. They should definitely do something about that. Fix that issue and I would give a higher rating.

It’s been a while since we’ve been in but decided it was time today. The service is always awesome, fast, friendly, and the order is always the way we ordered it. Their menu and wing flavors are just so-so but it’s close to the office and convenient. Without a doubt it’s a pretty decent lunch spot if you want to sit down in a hurry.

Its been about a year since we came here. Now i remembwr why… Got the Egg«Roll» only one for 5.99. WOW. Tasted really good but for 5.99 they should serve two! Philli Cheese Steak is awsome and so are the baby backs and chicken were warm to cool. Food needs to be «Hot» when it comes to the table. The potato salad is horiable too much mayo and a weird taste and so is the coleslaw, it had an extremely sour taste. Mac and Cheese is dry… Tasted old… it’s average at best.

Not bad for day 2 of their soft opening. Gator’s is just what Fruit Cove needed. It’s a much better version of any Miller’s Alehouse(I don’t like Alehouse to begin with) and you don’t have to drive into Mandarin for it. It’s definitely going to give the other local favorite, Hurricane Wings, a run in the competition. This place has tons of TVs; anywhere you look you could be watching 6 games at once. Some of the servers are young and inexperienced but you have to be patient! They’re all sweet and getting their bearings going. This place has food and drink specials every day, a large square bar with seats at all 4 sides with a bunch of high tops and booths from you to choose from and lastly, a huge outdoor patio with plenty of tables and perfect view of any TV with a sports game on! If you’re in the Fruit Cove area, go check out Gator’s and welcome them to the neighborhood!
