That pulled pork was THE BOMB. Tender, juicy, BBQ sauce was super tasty! The fries were amazing- crisp outside, fluffy inside... and the coleslaw, which I usually don't eat, was good too. Someone knows what they're doing! And the portions are huge. My food was $12 but I got to eat it twice so that's cool.

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! We are new to the area and came across this restaurant. It was just me and my husband at the restaurant. We ordered the fish, gator, shrimp fried… Gator was very tender. Every thing we had had so good. We had left overs and finished it for Dinner. We met the chef and she told us she makes everything from scratch. I don’t normally like the tartar sauce, but this one was GREAT!
It’s a place I will continue to go to eat! Thanks for your welcoming hospitality!!

We ate there after our swamp buggy tour. The staff was really friendly and attentive.
Since I’m a vegetarian, my experience with the menu was somewhat limited. I’d really appreciate it if they offered more vegetarian options.
Can’t say much about the other dishes, but overall it seemed like a nice spot.

It doesn’t look like much, but you’ll be glad that you decided to eat there.
Very friendly and great food!
The barbecue is delicious!
The serving size is generous and the price is moderate.
Excellent food and service. Gator bites with their homemade sauce was delicious!! Gator shack burger and fries and breaded tenderloin special were excellent. Love the honey twang BBQ sauce! Super glad we stopped for a bite!
Had a great lunch
I've been here twice now. And let me say, ITS AMAZING. The food is always hot, fresh, and in big portions. Prepare to take a takeout box home. The service in both the resturant and the gift shop is amazing, very sweet people, very family-home like environment. Love this place, love the food, love the people!

What a find! A step back in time away from the hustle and bustle surrounded by Florida’s natural beauty. The fried shrimp and hush puppies were spot on!

It’s not much to look at but if you like deep fried southern comfort food then this is your place. You can get an eco tour and eat without ever needing to leave the property. Food is definitely worth the trip out of the way and it’s definitely an off the wall place.

Very good Gator Bites and the sauce is delicious!! BBQ pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and baked beans is good. Cornbread with butter and honey was good too.

We ate here after the Awesome eco tour. I had the shrimp poor boy sandwich with fries and my husband had the chilli with the gator bites. Breading was good and everything was fresh. Definitely would recommend.
