Our family came to dine here and all of us who ate chicken eneded up extremely sick. We called the restaurant to report it and they said they had nothing to do with it and it wasn't their fault. Terrible customer service to give your patrons food poisoning after they spend a ton of money there and then don't offer any form of reimbursement other than 1 free meal, as if we would ever want to eat there again...

We waited a long time for our food and spent $200 just to be horribly and violently sick a few hours later. Management said it was not their fault and they could not do anything.

Got terrible food poisoning from this place after spending $200... Worst restaurant experience of my life. We felt fine all day and then after we had dinner at Growling Gator (the chicken specifically) we spent the entire rest of the night getting violently sick in the bathroom. We called the restaurant and told them, but they said we were lying and that it couldn't have been their food that made us sick. There were also tons of flies everywhere in the restaurant, crawling on all the food. Very disgusting. Really wish we hadn't wasted $200 here.

Ate here, took forever to have our orders taken and even longer to actually get the food, only for two of the four of us fall ill from food poisoning caused by either the chicken or the shrimp they both ate, I called and they were absolutely no help at all
