Nav-A-Gator Bar & Grill

Nav-A-Gator Bar& Grill This place was such a surprise to me. It’s old school Florida for sure. It’s nothing fancy very basic but the food so good. On the inside a big bar and plenty of seating but the outside I believe that’s where the magic is. Lots of tables with umbrellas, a 2nd Bar and a stage for live music. It’s a very laid-back atmosphere and the servers are so friendly they treat you like family. I loved the food and was surprised it was so good. For an appetizer we ordered the Fried Clam Strips and for our main meal my wife and I ordered a well-done Surf & Turf Burger with Fries, and our friend ordered the House Salad. The Clam Strips came out 1st the basket was packed with Strips, and they were so very good. Our main orders came out fast and the plates were filled with the Burger & Fries. The Salad was in a huge bowl filled to the top. I can’t say enough good things about our Burgers. They were done perfectly and so juicy and the tops was packed with Crab Meat. Even the Fries were coated and all so good. Our friends Salad looked fresh and was packed with all the toppings. All our food was served hot and very tasty. Our waitress Kaedyn was amazing in taking care of us checking on us and answering any questions we had. Even some of the other waitress came by and talked to us they were all friendly and could not do enough for us. The live music took our experience to the next level. Out of my 174 reviews this was the best burger I’ve have in SW Florida so far. You must stop by and give this place a try you won’t be sorry and I for one can’t wait to get back. I must give this place 5 stars for the food, the service, and the great vibe. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews & Fun Gulf Coast Terry

Nav A Gator has it all this time of year. Perfect weather great location and excellent food. I had the Mahi Melt with a side salad.. just like a tuna melt only using fresh Mahi mahi instead of tuna . Excellent sandwich and salad with fresh tomatoes, red onions and romaine lettuce. I ditched the croutons since I have never liked cut up stale toast. My friend had their classic burger which she said was excellent with a side of fries which were very good. I snuck a couple. Skipped the key lime pie but have had it before and it is excellent. I was having lunch but it is a great evening spot and they often have live music. Our server was quick, efficient and got everything just right. Sorry , but forgot her name. Food came out in just 10min or less but it wasn't crowded for a Friday lunch. If you have never been go when they have live music. Go early as they fill up fast. Good place for kids, they have a sandbox they can play in, but you do have to make sure they don't get in the river or too close to gators.

We came by boat and docked between the second and third finger pier from the restaraunt. THERE IS A BARELY SUBMERGED PILE BETWEEN THE FINGER DOCKS. Our boat got hung up on it as the tide went out and we were extremely lucky to avoid damage. Jet skis should be very careful, if you hit it the people would be thrown off. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen!!!

Excellent food. We had the fish dip and burgers... burgers are huge and tons of cheese. Small place but def worth driving off the beaten path for.
