“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 provide diners with a peaceful and charming view, and give the impression the restaurant exists with nature rather than intrudes on it. I would say this special atmosphere is the highlight of Gator’s, but that would be unfair to the staff. The Farringtons, especially our server Abigail, truly made us feel like family and everyone who worked there wore easy smiles and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we could imagine throughout our stay. And the food delivered what we hoped for - simple fried seafood fare in generous portions. We had fried mullet, crab claws, and the hot fried shrimp that was exactly as advertised. I had the seafood platter and everything was very good. We finished off with a piece of homemade Key Lime Pie (which my daughters loved) and their special homemade Bushwacker Pie. The Bushwacker Pie really did taste just like a frozen Bushwacker drink, and it turns out that it makes an excellent finish to a meal. This restaurant is a gem of the area, and I suspect there are very few places in all of Florida anymore that can deliver a similar experience. Gator’s Seafood Restaurant is a time-capsule to a previous age that will bring warm nostalgia to an older diner, and surprising charm to younger ones.“

“Well id like to think my review should be pretty valuable. Im a regular. Im originally from NH and I had been looking for potato wedges just like they have for 10 years. Yes 10! They are actually better than the ones back home. They should get cheese sauce in there to serve with it. Queso to be exact. My daughter loves the Mac n Cheese. Both of my sons love the biscuits, me too. The fris are excellent. The tenders when they are fresh... OMG.. SO good. && I usually wont eat chicken unless I cook it. I have to get all the yucky spots off myself or it creeps me out but theirs are better than Slim Chickens (my son works there). Their Mozz sticks.. love them! I dont like a cheese pull that gets stuck in your throat. They do need to get marinara sauce for them tho. I bought my own for when I get them. The cajun chicken sandwich, YUM. . The combo of honey and pickles is everything. I am so thankful I found this place and its so close to where I live. A worker at the Cumberland Farms told me about it because I was talking about potato wedges. I will say.. I would have never tried it. I had never heard of it. Looking from the road you I would have thought it was IN the gas station, not beside it. They do need to remodel, get a new flashy sign and ADVERTISE because this place is amazing. I really hope they remodel at some point and send flyers out to all the locals in that junk mail pack the mailman gives us. This place would do 100xs the buisness it does if they did. Ooo and they would be very smart to serve real bacon and also have a sausage option for breakfast sandwiches.. not many enjoy turkey bacon. I cant wait to try things I havent yet. Im going to get my teenagers to leave reviews too with their opinions because this rating really pisses me off. & I love the OG employee there too. Shes my friend in my eyes haha. Love seeing her when I go in, I thought she owned the place because shes there so much.. I will always be a loyal customer.♡ Potato Wedge Girl“
