★★★★★ 5.0 Woody Polatas · Mar 2026

Great lunch specials and a ton of TV's! Brenna was a great server and earned bonus points for offering a tea to go!

We started out selling Girl Scout cookies and finished with dinner. The buffalo chicken salad with the suicide sauce was amazing. The fried pickles were crispy and the perfect size. The buffalo chicken wrap my husband had, was good and he enjoyed the steamed broccoli. Our daughter enjoyed the BLT and said the sweet potato fries were great! The staff is friendly and it was a good atmosphere for a Friday night cookie booth and dinner out!

Just left gators, having the best time. The bartender Madi was truly the best. Recommended great food and drinks. Made great shots and was very accommodating for this picky eater. Told us all about the specials and what is happening at gators. Definitely coming back for a music bingo. Will absolutely come back again just to see her!

I most definitely would not recommend eating here to anybody. This place used to be great. Something has changed lately and everything here has gotten very bad. The service is atrocious. The food is horrible. They served my 6 year old son a hotdogs with mold on thr bun. Stay away!

Great food and great atmosphere! The wings are some of the best around. Also have to mention that the fried pickles here are some of the best I’ve had and I’ve ate a lot of fried pickles. This visit I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with Mac on it. Just a heads up that this sauce they put on it is very very hot.
