    Excellent food and service. Kelsea, Lia and Megan are very attentive. Chicken Cheesesteak wrap and Bay fries at a winner and not too heavy. Best Wings EVER! Parmsean Garlic and Rondo Heat by themselves are outstanding, but combining both flavors are like heaven on a plate.

    Enjoyable time here last night. Taught the young lady behind the bar to make two different drinks she never heard of (one being a Tom Collins). Understandable since all anyone drank at the bar were beer, Surfside, and shots. Food was really, really good. Some bar patrons were extremely and unnecessarily loud. I know you're locals, but must you scream every sentence to the person right next to you? We'll try again and hope it's not a screaming contest next time. People sitting on either side of us were very friendly and nice, though.

    I give this place credit for taking on a second larger location to be compliant, while serving their customers during COVID-19. Staff was friendly, food was great, atmosphere was in progress! Sir Rodney was really good.

    We got the snapper soup and crab soup both were very good. Then we got the jambalaya which was not good at all. Is said on the menus it was made with rice there was no rice at all in the whole dish. A piece of the chicken was still raw, and it tasted more like an Italian sausage pasta sauce then jambalaya. My mother got the appetizer sampler, it was ok. Not bad but not good. We also got a pice of apple caramel pie, that was pretty good. The bill came to over $65 for basically two cups of soups a bowl of pasta sauce, a small piece of pie and the appetizer sampler. Although we did get a bowl of soup to go since that was the only part of the meal we enjoyed. Overall we were not impressed. The waitress was pretty nice.

    Food is amazing! The staff is wonderful, and the Manager came to our table to check in on us. This place is going to be talk about to all my friends and family. I'm sitting in the restaurant right now eating, and I just had to post this review. The moment the food smacked my lips, I knew I was in heaven.

    Just got food on Saturday for pickup. Was quoted 20 minutes wait time. When I got their my daughter and I waited 30 more minutes while everyone inside was served. First time I had an issue here. Waitress came up to me saying 5 more minutes, they are bagging it, etc, and still waited 20 more minutes. 😕 I'm an easygoing person so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. After posting this the manager contacted me and apologized for the inconvenience he gave us 2 entree vouchers. Very considerate of him.... Never judge a book by its cover I teach my little one this concept. On a side note my parents have been going here for years and love the place. The one time i pick up the food for them their was an issue... guess i got bad luck... i will change my review next time i go back without an issue...

    Always a fun atmosphere. Live musice is always a fun time. Drink specials make watching a game a little better. The wings are great everytime. Service is friendly and on point.

    First time going here, very laid back and relaxing atmosphere to watch the Phillies game. Food and service were both good. Nice refreshing change from big, noisy, crowded sports bars. Will be coming back.

    Great place to go. The food is great and the service is super friendly. Also good for kids. They have high chairs, they kids can be as loud as they want. Once a week is family night kids get there face painted for free

    Anything beyond the bar food is hit or miss (the vegan and vegetarian options are shockingly good) but the bar food is spectacular. Plus, if a manager doesn't check on you at some point, they give you a gift card.

    Staff was wonderful very friendly and accommodating. Food was horrible though, could've just been an off day. Bar was big, lots of space.

  • 5/5 Marc D. 8 months ago on Google
    Been a patron since early 2000s. Great casual place to grab a drink with friends, good food, great service especially for the locals. Personable atmosphere, not flooded with a-holes and shatty waitresses like larger bars in the area.

  • 5/5 Rachel M. 8 months ago on Google
    Servers and staff are fantastic, very helpful and kind. The food has all been very tasty. Overall a very good place that I will visit again and again despite living an hour away.

  • 5/5 Robert “Will” P. 11 months ago on Google
    Everything I want in a place to go with some friends and have a beer and great food between shows. Friendly, easy atmosphere, ol fashion pub style like Jersey does best. Cant believe they are still around and still doing their magic!

  • 1/5 Mike H. 10 months ago on Google
    My family and I went into the pub for lunch. We were seated at a table that had not been wiped off from the previous customers. We are the person who seated us to please wipe it off. He came back with what looked like a paper towel from the bathroom, wiped a quarter of the table off while sprinkling crumbs all over the table, and walked away. We got up and left completely groosed out.

  • 5/5 Tyler B. 11 months ago on Google
    Honestly, I can't recommend it enough! The meals never disappoint, and even know the fries look flabby and soggy, they're fantastic in moderation! The staff are very helpful and once in awhile the manager comes to your table to visit!

  • 3/5 Norma K. 10 months ago on Google
    Ordered wings with sauce on the side - got No sauce for wings. Ordered 2 roast beef sandwiches with extra au jus - that was correct... Very disappointed did not get the sauce for wings as requested. This is 3 x our order was not correct. No Celery as ordered and no blue cheese dressing - Next time think I will order wings from pizza hut - at least they complete an order as requested.

    Thursday night with the misses and the beer is fresh and the food is great. It's a little busy during happy hour and the bar is packed but we were lucky enough to get 2 seats. Everything is top notch but if I was the owner. I would completely move locations to the sidebar and make the bar bigger. It would flourish, the crowd is older and mature which is great because that means there's no 23 year old drunkards running around lol but honestly turn that old blockbuster into a full running bar with tons of TV's and you will cash out big time. Other than that, glorious as always

    The food was good, not great, but also adequately priced. The service was very good, but the music was way too loud.

  • 3/5 Kevin M. 10 months ago on Google
    Really good food. We had the: Reuben, Burger, Philly Cheesesteak & a Roast Beef Sammy. We sat in the upper bar area - pretty slow. Not sure what was up but the wait staff was not on point at all - guess our beer money wasn’t good enough. After we got our initial drinks we never saw the waitress again - food came out (delivered by someone else). We completely ate our meals and by the end we were practically begging for drink refills. Not our first time and definitely not the usual experience - so I sure hope the next time it’s better.

    I can not say anything bad about Ollie Gators. I have been coming here for dinner, to hang out with friends, have a date night or just because for at least 20 years. The staff are professional and attentive, the food is fresh and tasty and the service at the bar is prompt. I recommend their fresh roast beef sandwiches. The meat is cut fresh in the kitchen. I'm also a fan of their boneless wings and the sauces you can get like Rhondo and garlic parm.

    The food was great. Atmosphere ok. A lot on inebriated folks but hey! It's a bar! The food made it worth it.

  • 5/5 Armando S. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here on a random Tuesday night and behind the bar was an incredible young woman Kayla, the way she anticipated and met my needs I genuinely had to question if she was a physic. Phenomenal service I will be back !

  • 5/5 Anthony T. 1 year ago on Google
    Our group had come here around 10pm. We had left another establishment because of poor service. And let me say, Ollie's Gator Pub did not disappoint. Our Waitress, Kelsea K, was AMAZING! She was prompt and attentive, and very pleasant. The food was freshly cooked, hot, and good. Everyone welcomed us and promptly sat out party. Thank you for a wonderful experience! The next time we are in Belin, we are definitely coming back!

    10/10. Out of town from cincy, looking for good value and came across this place. Got us served quick for the kids, and staff was more Than accommodating (without being overbearing). Had a roast beef sandwhich, and wife had a short rib sandwhich. Surpassed expectations Wish they had a spot like this back home. Would make a killing.

  • 5/5 Alan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Hot Roadt Beef sandwich is amazing. Prices are very fair. Best bar and grill I have found in the area since moving 6 months ago (I go out a lot).

  • 2/5 Roto 6. 1 year ago on Google
    Normally very nice. But tonight our waitress left without telling us, leaving us halfway thru out meal with no one. It took forever for us to find a new waitress, and then the new waitress kept “forgetting” about us. Her words, not ours. Ollys should do better with the servers. The food is good, but the wait staff sucks. I don’t recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Neil S. 1 year ago on Google
    Eating in or take out, always a good meal. And we do not drink. Best burgers and onion rings. We always get two meals out of their burgers. They are very confident in their meat. Not afraid to make a medium rare burger.

  • 5/5 Barbara M. 1 year ago on Google
    Visiting from Florida. Had lunch with Mom and 2 sisters again this year and was not disappointed. Ordered the appetizer sampler for 2. Delicious. Then we had the bacon cheeseburger, cheese steaks and corned beef sandwiches. Everything was so good, that I ordered another cheese steak to go. And the Phillies game was on. Awesome! Thanks for the great food and service.

  • 5/5 Hollie A. 1 year ago on Google
    Catering - 10 Stars: My boss needed last minute catering for her daughter's college graduation and Ollie Gators was my first choice. Rob took care of me from paper plates to the main courses and making sure we had the right amount of food. Event Day: The food was delivered on time and amazing and Rob went beyond and helped set everything up for my boss. So many compliments on the food and hopefully referrals for future events with Ollie Gators. Thank you for making me personally shine and for making a once in a lifetime graduation special. Kind regards, Hollie

    Disappointed. I was there several years ago. Stopped in again. The Roast beef was fatty and not a lot on the roll. Beer was good. Bartender was nice

  • 2/5 david r. 2 years ago on Google
    Specifically, it was the hummus platter that was not good. It really needs improving. No canned hummus and no canned olives. Quite tasteless. An easy fix though. Thanks for getting back to me.

  • 3/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Burger was flavorless and dried out, cajon fries were oily with very little Cajon spice. 4 hours later and my stomach is still upset from eating there. This is after seeing the manager's response: Given how great your staff was and the many reviews of how great the food was for them, maybe they were just having a bad day?? Not sure I will be able to get my daughter to try this place again but I will.

  • 4/5 Denise A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. nice waitstaff and tenders. Not good attention though to the far end of the bar. Everyone congregate at the end near the kitchen.

  • 4/5 Kelly Beck K. 2 years ago on Google
    I thought the band was great, the service was slow but I think because it got crowed with the band from the area started to play. The food was good. I had fries with cheese (spicy) and scallions and they were very good. Small mini Panzorotti's that were ok and loaded Nachos with beef still ok. Drink were good. Family oriented with high chairs, plenty of seating, almost too much open space. Wheel chair access also. I need to cut them a break because they just opened up. What I loved was the windows are Hugh and they opened up so you have a nice breeze. Ample parking.

  • 5/5 Eric H. 2 years ago on Google
    Drove by this place millions of times since they opened. We came 3/4/2022 for the first time to see the Elvis show. We were pleasantly surprised at the service we got. The staff, bartenders and servers were very friendly. The management was top notch. The food was far better than any bar food. We will definitely be coming back.
