Let's Get right to it, upon entering this establishment you will notice a large but not to large center piece tank with juvenile gators and a sign that says to seat yourself which I love that because I prefer window and bar seats instead of a tabletop plus bonus, I can sit closer to the gators. I asked some questions about them and was told they help to raise them and when they reach a certain size they are removed and replaced with smaller gators so right off the top, I love what that represents. I find gators to be a very majestic misunderstood creature.
After which I was greeted by Daniel with a smile and positive presence, I had forgotten my reading glasses, so I asked for recommendation's. Daniel asked if I was allergic to anything which I am shellfish, so I went with the Gator bites they were served with swamp sauce which has a sweet yet zesty flavor, to drink I had a glass of the daily brewed sweet tea and i will say it was one of the many highlights of my meal some sweet teas have a flavor on the back end of your pallet which taste almost like a mold theirs did not it had full body with just the right amount of sugar and a lemon which it was good with and without. If you know sweet tea you know you only add lemon if it tastes like it had been brewed at too hot of a temp or the tea sat in it too long definitely not the case here. Now to the main dish lord help me, where do I begin, the burger was more than enough for me it had truffle mayo which I don't like truffle and gave it a shot anyway which i am guessing it really matters how you use it and what you pair it with. My burger was a perfect pink inside which is how I asked as well as it was juicy the bun was fresh honestly cannot find anything at all wrong with my burger at all. and that's not all the fries I don't know what they do but definitely keep doing it although served with their ketchup i didn't even touch it they were a golden crisp on the outside and a perfect texture on the inside. everything came out hot and I give it to them the presentation was very southern Florida! I love the wood platters with our state branded in it I mean come on they really paid attention to the littlest detail while designing this place.
Finally, I believe everyone should embark on this experience, I say experience because that is what it is from the live gators to the staff the food, all the way down to the platter your burger comes out on. Also take the time to watch the tv's over the bar and get the feel for the people who own the bar, there is a slide show of all their Florida adventures, this gave it the ultimate touch of a wholesome hometown feel per say an inside look as to who you're dinning with! read more
