    This place is amazing! The waitresses both times have been so attentive and friendly. The food is varied and ALL delicious. The onion petals are absolutely to die for! And I NEVER eat them because the onions are always soggy everywhere. Not here. They are crispy and the sauce is sooo good! The plating is great too! I noticed the tap beer is to the rim! TV screens all around. Very cozy atmosphere. Our new favorite restaurant by far!

    My families favorite place to go eat. The shrimp fettuccine is always so good as well as the wings. We try to go every week we’re never disappointed and the girls are always so nice and attentive.

    Sara, was exceptional, Gator tail was actually more of a nugget dish, so thats about the only grip I had, but everything was better than any sport bar in the area 🤙🏽.

    Probably the most disappointing visit we’ve had and we won’t be back. My boyfriend ordered a Buffalo chicken salad and added egg and it barely filled a plate and no egg, not to mention looks like someone demolished it. They forgot my extra order of smiley fries. My burger was burnt, and my daughters burgers came with no top bun. I don’t mind paying for food but that wasn’t even fulfilling. Like they just didn’t even care.

    While this use to be a nice place to eat . It's not anymore the last 3 times I've been there the service was absolutely horrible. And the food took way to long .then when it finally comes its wrong . Yes the Manager tries to make it right. But I don't want free food I just want decent service and good food . But I haven't got either the last few times. No I won't go back and waste my time and money . So you might want to think about this if you want to go there .

    Food and service was amazing!!! I got the chipotle chicken wrap & my husband got the breakfast burger- 10/10 for both of us! It was our first time at Gator’s dockside and it won’t be our last. Lynetta was our server and she was amazing!!! 5 stars from us! ♥️

    Recently moved to lake city and gators was the talk of the town! So of course me and the wife checked it out and food was too good to even have time for a picture. However, our waitress Gabby made our experience awesome!! She was extremely helpful in recommending food, very patient and informational. She Checked up on us constantly and very friendly. She made us feel welcomed and made our experience at Gators great. Will definitely be back 👍🏽

    Taylor was awesome!!! This was our first time to Gators since moving to Lake City and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the 2-for-1 drinks were cold on a very hot day!! The service was incredible and the restaurant was very clean!! We will be back👍

    I've picked up food here a few times now and the buffalo cauliflower is 10/10. My favorite wing sauce is the honey chipotle bbq but I love that you can choose your own sauce. I've also tried the signature mushrooms (see photo). They were fried perfectly and the serving is more than enough to share. I am obsessed with their ranch, is it homemade? Idk, but I'm excited to try more of their food. Highly recommend!

    Sara was an amazing waitress with patience for our large group. The drinks came out fact and the buffalo cauliflower was amazing.

    Lynette B was a great server. Even though she was very busy, she took the time to ask the cook about something that wasn’t on the menu, and they made it for me. 👍

    Gators serves the typical fare offered at most sports bars. Mainly burgers and wings, but a few other interesting dishes. This is a good place to go if you want ok food while watching multiple games. The service was good, mainly a younger crowd, but they were attentive and friendly. Prices were decent considering recent inflation. The atmosphere is typical to a sports bar, a little more open and well-lit than most. The bar is smaller than you would expect for a sports bar, it's mainly restaurant seating.

    We had an amazing meal at Gators! Sara was absolutely amazing. Service was fast, she was extremely kind and she even got our pooch a chicken finger to enjoy! Looking forward to coming back.
