This place is great! The staff had always been friendly and attentive.The food is really good (especially for bar food) and I love the spicy 3 pepper suicide wings. They get major bonus points for offering grilled wings as most places do not.*Note* I also highly recommend the gator tail. (Not from Florida originally so I don't know what it's supposed to be like, but it's the best place I've had it so far, by a long shot)My only complaints are that it can be a tad expensive for what it is, but that is overshadowed by the fact the did is actually good.

Listen, I love this place, but the bartenders don't give you much attention unless you are a regular. They don't seem friendly.

This was the worst experience I’ve had at Gator Dockside. We had approximately 20 people in our group, it took 1.5 hours to receive our food, then the quality and accuracy were way off base. Some people never received their food.

This used to be the best go-to place when I was in a pinch, but now they're average. They're being stingy with the fries. Whether you order a basket or the lunch special, which comes with fries. They give you a handful, and that's it. The flavor of their wings has changed dramatically over time. I suspect they are cutting corners on oil type and seasonings.

We went on a Monday night, wings are $.99. I think they serve smaller wings on Mondays. Lol. The breaded sweet chili wings were very good as well as the fried pickles and gator bites. The waiter was very

For a sports bar atmosphere it's pretty good. The food is ok at best most of the time. The service the past few times has been horrible. The waiter was slow and had to ask for everything from plates, utensils, and refills. Not sure if place is short staffed or what but definitely struggling on the service.
