Gator's Dockside Melbourne

One of my top 5 places to go.
Great food and drinks.
Good staff and excellent atmosphere 👌

Gators is an excellent restaurant. It's food is outstanding, especially the delicious appetizers and seafood entrees. I've been recommending Gators Dockside to friends and family for years. The service is always excellent, atmosphere intimate and friendly.

Loud atmosphere, I no longer eat in, I order my food to go. Waitress were very respectful and polite.

I have been to this bar twice first i was served by Michealla and then last night by Hope. Both of these experiences were great their grilled wings are top tier and these girls are so kind and have actual conversations with you highly recommend.

I worked in the food industry for years. We order Gator tail and it was so over cooked that we couldn’t eat it. The waiter didn’t even offer to replace it. I order bone in chicken wings fried and they were broiled and burnt. The sauces like Ranch and Blue cheese were of poor quality. My wife and daughter order Tacos and they weren’t worth the money we paid for them. I also ordered a Miller on tap and it was like warm. Really?
My suggestion to everyone is that if you’re looking to dine out go look elsewhere. Poor quality food. We should have realized that when we walked into an empty restaurant.

We always get the grilled wings tossed in lemon pepper sauce, it's the best!

The food was excellent!

Our server today was Hannah, she was absolutely fantastic. Very attentive, never an empty glass. Look for her she is great!

Be cautious of the thief bartender. Weekday afternoon, 2pm. waiting on my wife to complete her shopping. Sat at the bar had two beers and ordered two chilis to go. The place had only three customers. The bartender processed my credit card. I totaled the card and provided her with a $10 cash tip which she acknowledged. A few days later I noticed the transaction on my CC App was more than I remembered. Come to find out the receipt was altered with an additional tip of $10 & some change rounding the total. Phoned the manager who was very accommodating and polite and apologetic. She promised to investigate the transaction and returned the overpayment to my account. I informed her that I will be back after a period of time to insure this individual was no longer employed as her conduct was criminal. Be careful always check your account after utilizing your CC.

Dr. Pepper BBQ Ribs were insanely good. My only regret was not ordering a full rack. Red skin potatoes tasted fresh as well. We will be back.
