12/14/17 Waiter was rude, ignored us when our food came out cold, when asked if the tacos were supposed to be cold or hot he became sarcastic and said “ like a typical restaurant they are supposed to be hot” ontop or slamming the touch screen when the issue arised, our plates were nearly dropped on the table. Horrible experience and I visit frequently. I will not be coming back after a disrespectful expierence like that. Especially with my girlfriend at the table as well. Very disappointed. If you don’t like your job, find a different job.
Good food. Local beer selection. kinda like an ale House vibe with Central Florida roots. I would definitely go back
My boyfriend and I love going to this gators to eat and have a few drinks. Excellent bartender and we always ask for Mike as our server because he is an amazing server, at this point he’s memorized most of our order. If you’re going, see if Mike is working!
Nice place to eat. Waiter take care of us. I will eat there again
Nice little sports bar type place. They have a loud side and a quiet side, which is nice when you don't want to be in on trivia night. Good is good, decent portions to price. The chicken tenders are very good, the medium garlic was great. Wife had a nice salad, delicious and good portions. Kids loved it, the mini hamburgers were just right for them. The desert was huge! We had the apple pie thing that came in a large brandy snifter with ice cream - four of us shared that. Very tasty! I would give five stars, but it was a bit loud, but we were there on trivia night. The service was very good, very attentive. They handled our party of seven with two small children very nicely.
This is one of the best sports bar / restaurants I have been to in many years. My wife and I have visited several times, it's next to Guitar Center which is another favorite place of mine, and we have never been disappointed. The wings are grilled and they are absolutely delicious. We've had burgers, salads and everything has been good. Nick, the manager that stopped by the table, was very professional and friendly and invited us to go Father's Day because men ate free. We look forward to our next visit.
Yummy food. Good service. They have TV's to display the sport games playing that evening. The pork and plantain plate is very delicious and I recommend that. They serve beer and drinks here as well, and it is popular with families as well as the college crowd.
Gator's Dockside isn't easy to find because it's 'off the beaten path'it would help if there was a bigger sign on SR 200.
We sat in a booththe booths are a wee bit small and not easy to get in and out of but there are tables available too.
Gator's has 'Happy Hour' all day (2 for 1) which is appealing. The bar service today was a little slow even though the place wasn't real busy.
Our server Gracie W was attentive, pleasant and accommodating.
My nachos were awesome and there was more than enough to share with Tom. I ordered the jalapenos on the side so I could add my own.
Tom's gyro was "Very good" but his fries were warmnot hot.
Tom's Yuengling draft was "Perfectalways!" (his favorite beer)
Wow!! I have a Gators close to where I live in Tampa and it's nowhere near this good. First off the service was amazing, everyone was friendly and courteous. When my food came out it was fresh and hot. I ordered the grilled wings. My father ordered a burger that was perfectly cooked. If you have tried a Gators before and were not happy give this one a shot.
Fantastic service! Delicious food! Reasonable prices!
Visiting friends in Ocala and stopped here for lunch. We were quickly seated and our server patiently described her favorites. I decided on wings with chipotle honey and a cup of chili. My wife had a summer salad with grilled chicken. Food arrived promptly and was a delicious treat. Our server kept beverages refilled and made sure our experience was enjoyable.
Definitely on the winner list for me. Another plus is the environment is comfortable and you can actually enjoy a conversation without yelling over television or music noise like so many other similar restaurants.
