Gator's Portside Port Canaveral

I'm not sure why this got a lower rating? I loved it. The portside is so awesome. The atmosphere is great. Prices are reasonable. Food was great. Service was awesome. When i first walked in I couldn't find anyone, but walked around and a server offered to help. My server was young but so careful and followed up. They accommodated my gluten allergy with a great substitute. Drinks are GOOD and not too expensive. Overall a great experience.

My husband and I stopped by just for drinks. The bartender was less than thrilled to be at work, I get it. We all have bad days, I don’t fault her. The biggest upset was they clearly water down their liquor. We ordered a shot of Red Stag and … well… Red Stag is not this color. The flavor was definitely not as strong as well. I ordered a second one just to take pictures and write a review.

Our large-ish (8) group picked Gator's Portsode this week. This is a nice restaurant with a lot of TVs for watching sports. It has a nice bar area and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Our server, Kelly, was great. Most of us likes outlr dishes but the fries pickles tasted fishy so maybe old oil in the fryer. The seared tuna was rare in the center but was really hard seared on the edges. The Cobb salad was good as was the sticky chicken and chicken sandwich. Nothing spectacular. They did have 2 for 1 Guinness and several BOGO liquors to offer on Wednesday night.

My wife and I dined here on August 14, 2005 while camping at nearby Jetty Park Campground. This restaurant used to have a different name, and used to be quite busy and crowded, but this night, it was almost vacant, and that maybe should have been an indicator to us before we asked for a table out on the deck. We were one of only three couples dining here that night (a Thursday). We were seated right away, but then it took about five minutes for our server to show up and take our drink order. Seemed a little odd, but maybe they sent all of the other staff home. I ordered Fish and Chips and my wife had the Hawaiian Chicken dinner. Took about 15 minutes to get those delivered to our table. Food was just average. Service a little slow. About the only thing this place has going for it

We had the gator tail and shrooms apps which were delicious. The Mahi taco and fried shrimp entre were good. Portions were good, got money's worth. Only negative was it felt like our server was on his own helping everyone. He did check in but not as much due to having a lot of tables to take care of but still good service.
