My family and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Gator’s Seafood Restaurant. The atmosphere is rare and beautiful. It is a true old-Florida restaurant of the kind that used to be fairly common 20 years ago, but has all but vanished in 2025. A warm hardwood building directly on a placid little bayou that indeed is the home of visible alligators. The restaurant is medium-sized, busy with happy diners, and warmly-lit throughout. Large windows overlooking the bayou...read full review
Ate there last night, waited awhile but the food was delicious. Flounder was superb.
Waited forever for a table. There were six in our party. Several parties of eight came in after us, and were sat before us. Their hostess either doesn't know what they're doing, or they are giving preferential treatment.

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.
