My husband and I have ate at many, many restaurants across Florida, and we both agree that this place served us both up the best gator tacos and Mahi Mahi sandwiches we have ever tasted. It’s a little hole in the wall, but don’t let that deceive you. It’s that good! Peter waited on us and was very knowledgeable and friendly. He seems to really enjoy what he does. Highly recommend all the way around.

Horrible experience. Never going back again. Service was slow and lame. Took 40 min to get water and cocktail. Then they brought out a $14 calamari app that had 8 pieces cooked beyond recognition.

Save your palate. Don't t go

Bartenders excellent. Kelly is attentive to all and they keep you filled, drink and food, as needed. Conversations with Kelly also fun. Had seafood platter while sitting at bar. Food arrived quickly and tasted great.

The Lazy Gator It’s such a fun Florida spot with a great atmosphere and delicious food! On top of that, the bar service was excellent –Kellie Is an outstanding bartender. She’s attentive, friendly, and makes one of the best rum runners I’ve ever had. Definitely worth stopping in!

I have been to Florida so many times in my life - I’ve lost count - I’ve eaten at sooo many different places- AND I will say this - the food here is PHENOMENAL!!! Lazy Gator is a hidden gem - a diamond 💎 The food was some of The Best we have ever had. The three of us were soooo pleased with our meals, drinks and our server - Ashley was the greatest!!!! Lazy Gator is so worth trying out - you’ll want to go back again and again! I know I do and will!!! Don’t pass this place by. 10/10 more if I could. Thank you, Ashley - you made our dining experience so special and memorable!!! (try the gator bites and catfish - You Won’t Be Sorry. The catfish was The Best I’ve ever had. Jump on some oysters on the half shell too - they were exceptional!!! Thank you - until next time!! Pictures in comments.
