Waited over an hour for a caesar salad with some mahi and a shrimp dinner. The salad barely had dressing on it, and our waitress acknowledged us only once during that hour. Hard pass on this spot.

Burger was ok...they must have ran out of bacon jam so they threw on half cooked bacon picecs...no jam

Terrible service to begin with. Our server only took the orders for half of the table before walking away. When we brought it up to her the next time she came around, she basically blamed us. After forgetting our drinks orders, and sub par food, she ended the dinner with "apologizing for being rude to our friend"...when said friend wasn't even at the table. All in all a terrible experience the whole way through. I'd save your money and go somewhere else.

Went there for lunch sat and waited almost 10 minutes before the server came and then at the end of the meal sat and waited 10 minutes and had to actually go up to the server to pay my

Their Philly steak sandwich is good eating. Good enough bar type food. Good place to go to watch sports or grab a quick family meal if you are out and about in

Great place for a bite and brew. I got the smash tacos, which were okay, but plan to go back for some seafood. I did go back for lunch, but tried the sweet jalapeño burger. It was awesome! Great view of the lake.

Came in on a Sunday evening. It was energized due to the football game, but not crowded. We were seated immediately. Service was friendly and attentive. We ordered 25 wings and a plate of fries. Surprisingly it was very filling for two people. Thanks Riley for being so fast and efficient.Parking: Parallel parking is common. Be prepared to walk a few blocks. Baldwin Park is very popular.

This particular Gator's Dockside is a great location situated in Baldwin Park. This is truly a great location and I am sure that other Gator's Dockside locations are quite envious of this location. The staff here are friendly and professional and only added to the overall experience. The menu here is centered around bar type food options (or if you prefer the term "pub grub"), but they do this food options justice and the food is pretty tasty. I have always enjoyed their Buffalo wings and the hamburgers are also something that I would recommend. Gator's Dockside is a great Florida chain of restaurants with quite a few locations (according to their website, they have twenty-seven locations throughout the Sunshine State). This particular Gator's Dockside is a great location and I would definitely recommend this location.

It has been awhile since I have been in this location and arrived slightly before AYCE wing special. Upon arrival there were about 4 friendly people that said hello and took us to our table promptly. . Danielle was our server and took care of our drink and appetizer order immediately. As the restaurant got busy not only due to being Monday but also the championship game you could see the entire gators team was hustling. Danielle especially stood up out as was moving with purpose , attentive and kept a smile on her face. Definitely was putting off the good energy that you don’t see often in the service industry these days.
I come here for the wings and the wings only. Gators is a classic towny bar, which isn't a bad thing. The same type of people are going to be sitting at the bar, the service is going to be decent and the food is fairly consistent. I say fairly cus that's my only gripe , I want my wings done well and that seems to change every time I order. Will I go back? Of course I will. You always go back to the towny bar.

The serving staff was fast, efficient and polite and the food was great. The restaurant location provides a great atmosphere .
We had a large party 20+ people. Alexis was our server and she was amazing! I would definitely go back just because of her. She made our experience amazing! I had the reaper wings and they were really good. Everyone else also enjoyed their food.
