Gator's Dockside
Reviews
Been to Gator's a few times and it was great every trip!!! The burgers are AWESOME! Only complaint is that it is a bit overpriced. Great place and very clean every time just be prepared to pay.
Wife and I decided to go to the Oakleaf location this evening after not visiting for quite some time. Service was good. My wife ordered 6 wings grilled with Parmesan Garlic as an appetizer. I ordered 10 wings grilled with Cajun Butter BBQ as an appetizer. We have had their wings before and was one reason for our return. However, we were very disappointed tonight. The wings were small, somewhat shriveled and dry. When we have had the Parmesan Garlic before, they were covered with sauce and you could see the Parmesan cheese. Tonight they were barely covered with anything. My Cajun Butter BBQ wings were not good either. They are almost $1 a piece and for that price, I would expect better. Also, seems the prices for our sandwich plates have increased since our last visit. The sandwiches were good, but, in our opinion not worth the new prices. I guess price increases are to be expected but the wings were a disappointment. We do not plan on returning unless we hear things have changed for the better.
Good food, excellent staff, but the food takes forever and a day to get to you. ACA surcharge? I don't really care. We're talking pennies on the dollar. At the very least they were courteous enough to be transparent and show it on the check rather than upcharge for all food items without any indication or reason.
We used to frequent this place all the time, but now they hired new staff which is interesting because we were starting to see problems before but this time our food took forever, the guy who brought it was clumsy sweating all over the place, he had it all wrong, didn't know the names of the food- it was horrible. Its a shame because we used to have so much fun there, but its gone straight down the tubes with in the last month or two. I can deal with slow bar drinks, a little wait time, but I shouldn't have to look at the plates, figure out which ones they are, give them to the correct people and repeatedly hear I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, all while he keeps bumping into us and the table every time he walks by. "HR" if they have such a thing wasn't so brilliant on this choice.
Good food, good service, it is an ok restaurant to sit during gameday
