Love the amazing friendly atmosphere. Great food, great music and especially our bartender Trever. He always makes sure you have exactly what you need and what you want. Pay attention to detail.!
August 2025
Food quality has seemed to drop a bit here since I started going here over five years ago. Especially when not even busy, it is normal to get food that is not hot or doesn't seem as fresh as it could be. The amount you get has also dropped. The Garbage Nachos, for example, this last visit was enough for one with scant toppings. This used to be plenty for two and had plenty of toppings on it. The chili seemed to be all beans, and no meat could be found. Lacked cheese on top....

RJ Gators never disappoints. The friendly atmosphere, servers, and fantastic food are always just what I need. Very reasonable prices on everything, including their drink specials. This is my favorite local restaurant, and I've introduced friends and family, who have enjoyed RJ Gators too. Just a great place to go out and enjoy.
