First let me start off by saying our waitress Tracy was amazing! She was so nice and very attentive, she made sure we always had a full drink and needed nothing, she even went as far as giving our teething baby ice cold celery for him to bite on! Now, the food. It was not up to the price you are paying. We spent 70$ and for what? Mediocre quality and taste. They weren't busy, and yet, our food came out not hot, but warm, and looking extremely rushed to be put out. My husband hit the boneless wings and so did my daughter, they both said the flavor was extremely bland and tasted barely of anything other than butter or that artificial smoke flavor. My husband got the smoked BBQ and the honey BBQ sauces and both were somehow bland and not good. My daughter got the garlic Parmesan sauce and she said it tasted like the rubbed the bowl with garlic and Parmesan and then put butter and the wings. Both were saying that there were alot of pieces that barely had sauce on them as well. I got the chicken club, it was alright. The chicken was overcooked so it was dry and the was drenched in honey mustard. So the whole thing tasted like honey mustard and that's it. I also got a side of maxed potatoes to give my 8 month old, and they were cold. I didn't even have to blow on them to give them to my son first. My husband also got a drink and it was like drinking straight minty honey. Not good. I think if you are going to be charging the prices you are, you need to have the food match the prices. 0/10 would recommend

lThis particular Gator's Dockside is located in Winter Springs, Florida and if you are unfamiliar with Gator's Dockside, they are a Florida based chain of bar/restaurants that offer a menu based around typical bar food, or if you prefer ther term, "pub grub." The staff here is friendly and professional and the ambiance is fun and comfortable. Gator's Dockside has multiple locations and honestly, I have never had a negative experience at any of their locations. Their history can be traced back to 1991 and I believe that their first location was in Jacksonville, Florida. They have since spread throughout Florida and I am impressed with the fact that I cannot remember a negative experience at any of their locations. Overall, I would definitely recommend this particular Gator's Dockside and I will give it five stars.

We enjoy going to Gators and try to get there at least once a month. Good selection of American food. A lot of TV’s for watching sports. I would recommend you try it if you have not yet.

I haven’t been to this location in quite some time but found it just as I remembered? A few menu items have come and gone but still a nice mix. Awesome wings as usual! It’s a great spot for watching sports and catching up w friends. Great casual spot for drinks. Kid friendly. Trivia on Thursday’s.

Dined at this location today. The manager would not substitute an item that was less expensive. If the manager is still there on Monday, this location will close.

Good local place to eat even though it's a franchise. One of the few places to offer a good Monte Christo sandwich, daily specials, game nights, lots of tv's, a good go to choice. Wings are very good, try the Scooter sauce.I've tried 2x ordering food online/phone, and each time, the order has been wrong. Gators made it right each time and the food was great, but I would say check your order at pickup, not when your home. Still a great place!Menu has changed again. Say goodbye to Winger Dinner, Monte Cristo Sandwich, and other favorites. 8 count wings were very nicely done, but small. Ranch or Bleu cheese, no carrots or celery offered. We were told if it's not selling well across the Gators franchise, it disappears across the board. Kinda takes away the neighborhood feeling. Staff still awesome, and the place is devoted for the holidays!Parking: Parking for lunch is easy , Gators Docksides & Tomasinos, share same parking area, making it tough from 6pm till close. Themed nights impact parking also.Wheelchair accessibility: Available and accessible.

This place is what I would call ok in a pinch. We were seated promptly and waited on quickly. We waited q long while for our drinks and food to arrive, which surprised me because the table seated after us were served food before our drinks arrived. Got the 2/1 drink with captain morgan and the drink tasted very watered down. I felt like I was drinking watery coke. Soup, burger and boneless wings were good but the chicken salad lacked flavor. The chicken itself was flavorless and there was not enough blue cheese. The dish would have benefitted from some crunchy pecan contrast. As far as surroundings go it was fairly quiet. Table was clean. In a world of many places to eat it wasn't impressive enough for me to care to go back. I say if you are offering a two for one drink, don't water it down. I'm not a heavy drinker and this drink didn't even give me the slightest feeling there was rum in it.

I ordered the Cauliflower Wings, they came with Chicken & the explanation "I didn't make them" after it was broken open & sniffed to confirm it was in fact, the Chicken, that had been in my mouth.

I go here for the wings and that's it. Give me the wings, give me the flavor options and I'm happy. Gators has such a towny feel which isn't a bad thing. There's always a game on which is a good thing. There's a decent draft selection, service is usually good, I really don't have any complaints. Just don't expect to order take out on weekend nights because they do get insanely busy. Order early.
Stephanie, the bartender is awesome.
