Gator's Seafood Restaurant is a seasonal spot open only on Fridays and Saturdays. The atmosphere is rare and beautiful, offering a true old-Florida experience that feels like a hidden gem. The place can get crowded, but the food is good, especially the fried mullet, crab claws, and hot fried shrimp. The restaurant provides a unique experience with alligators swimming in the river behind it, and large windows overlooking the bayou give diners a peaceful and charming view. It is recommended to arrive early or be prepared to wait in line, as the restaurant is medium-sized and busy with happy diners.
While slightly pricey for the portion sizes, the friendly staff and cool ambiance make it worthwhile. The Farrington family, particularly their server Abigail, creates a welcoming environment that makes guests feel like family. The restaurant is kid-friendly, but mostly older folks were seen dining, making it a nostalgic spot for many. It is wheelchair accessible with a ramp, and ample parking is available at the end of the road under a shaded area. Gator's Seafood Restaurant is a delightful place that delivers simple, fresh seafood in generous portions, making it a must-visit for locals and travelers alike.
