We discovered Gator's in 2018 when I took my husband to Ely to show him where I would spend my summers. Gator's was an IMMEDIATE favorite, and we've returned many times since. Always busy, also always worth it. Trust the daily special!! ♥️
Literally the best grilled cheese we’ve ever had! We will for sure be coming back!

Gator's Grilled Cheese Emporium is a cozy, locally owned restaurant with a rustic atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of options, including grilled cheese sandwiches, mac & cheese, cheeseburgers, and soups. The grilled cheese and tomato soup are a hit, while the chicken and rice soup is a standout. The mac & cheese sandwich is a mouthful, and the cheeseburger is a crowd-pleaser. The turkey avocado melt is also really good and filling. The staff is friendly and willing to chat, and they provide a short wait for food. The restaurant has patio seating, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy a meal. Gator's is always busy, which shows it is worth the visit. The owner is known to be great and is highly recommended for her engaging presence. Overall, the restaurant is clean, comfortable, and serves tasty food. It is a place where customers feel appreciated, especially during special events like Veterans Day, as it fosters community among veterans. Though some wish for more soup variety and beers, the generous portions ensure that guests leave full. Visitors praise the quick service, generous portions, and family-friendly environment, making it a nice lunch spot. The grilled cheese and the Cuban sandwich are popular highlights, and the restaurant is convenient for a quick meal, especially when in downtown Ely.
