Tried going there 4x over the period of 2 months and unfortunately all 4x we didn't end up staying due to food being an hour and half wait and table service being every 15 mins. Great location

If you ever go to any place named Gators Riverside Grille you get exactly what the place is and you know what to expect. The Blackened Platter I had was excellent. Catfish, gator bites and shrimp. The service was fast and friendly. We will be back.

Had a great time at Riverside grill celebrating my mom’s birthday. We got appetizers and food and it was all really good. Onion rings are awesome! Only complaint is wings could’ve been crispier but overall better than expected for a hole in the wall type bar. The sunset and wildlife was beautiful. They had live music and it was a very fun experience. However, very quickly the mosquitoes came as it got dark so we paid, left the server a $30 tip on $90 bill and vacated ASAP to flee the mosquitoes. However, we left my mom’s birthday gift on the table in a box. She thought I grabbed it and I assumed she grabbed it since it was hers. When she realized it was missing she called me and the restaurant. They said the box was empty. The box was not empty. The box had a handmade candle with a butterfly my daughter and I spent multiple nights painting and crafting for my mom’s 61st birthday. Yes we shouldn’t have left it; but I also don’t think they lied. Either they stole it or they never opened up the box like they said. That really sucks for us because it cannot be replaced.

Chef had issues and burned my food and gave us beef instead of chicken. Oh well we weren't hungry anyway.

Nice little place. Be prepared to wait a while for your food . Pretzels bites are what you can make at home out of the frozen section- not good at all. Egg rolls are just okay. Husband enjoyed his gator. Would go back but get something different. Atmosphere is good.

Great low key spot on the water with live music on the weekend. Dog friendly and you can pull up by car or by boat. It is usually pretty crowded so grab a beer and enjoy the scenery while you wait for food.

The waitress was great and friendly . We placed our order and others who cam later were getting their food and no sign of ours. Since we had to catch a plane we asked about our food and it finally came but we had to take it as take out. Most of the food was good but the fish was too well done and couldnt be eaten. They really need to work on their service. Too bad. Its a nice spot to sit

We love Gators! It's a great place to sit out on the deck, enjoy some ice cold beverages, have some delicious food and listen to some live entertainment, all while enjoying the beautiful wildlife. You can get there by vehicle or boat, they have a small dock.
