Gator's Grilled Cheese Emporium

They don't skimp on the sandwiches. Had the turkey avocado melt, which was really good and filling. It was a short wait for food and they have patio seating. Very friendly staff.

Great place. Got food to go

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!! ♥️

They make the best pasties!!

Owner was great came up on 2.15.25 she was most excellent highly recommend the egg with salad on grilled cheese w grain bread tomatoes basil soup was fantastic. Wish they had beers. And more soup variety. It's pricey but you leave full. We have a sheltie so we loved the decor

Best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Gators is my favorite place to eat breakfast in Ely.

Amazing options and food, just a good time here.

I have been to Gator’s many times before, and every time the food is spot-on. I especially appreciate the Veterans Day meal! Not only is it refreshing to be appreciated, but it provides an avenue to bring veterans in the area together, which is invaluable to a demographic prone to isolation. Thank you so much Gator’s!

My spouse and I always make sure to come here whenever we're in Ely.

Even though I'm lactose intoletant, I'm always willing to spend the following day suffering through the digestion simply because I love their food so much. (Don't worry, my spouse is able to digest dairy and they have no problems digesting. They love their food as well).

Really nice breakfast spot. Very tasty food with generous portions. Had one of the best breakfast sandwiches ever. The Saturday morning we went Erin did it all! Took orders, cooked and served. A real dynamo. Definitely recommend Gator's.

Gaters is named after a rescue dog who was allowed a great second life. Erin was our waitress and chef and made us the most amazing food! The service was some of the best I've had, and she was so personable and kind. This is a must stop when you come to Ely!
