    If i could id leave 0 stars seriously. The worse service i have ever experienced. Everyone is so rude. Environment is DIRTY!!!! Shitty attitude from bar tender everyone here acts like they hate their job.

    Fish sand-which- cod from the fish and chips vs the usually Mahi. He also asked to have American cheese put on it.

    Located in a building across from Home depot, it's easy to drive past it and not realize its there. Face masks are not enforced for guests or their employees with the new CDC guidelines. The food was okay. There wasn't anything overly special about it. My husband got the fish sandwhich but had them use a piece of the cod from the "fish and chips." He said it was ok - fries had no seasoning at all. I got the backyard boss, which was the sausage with peppers and pub mustard on it. I liked the bread but wish the sausage would have been Andouille. The pub mustard also tasted like it was just whole grain Dijon mustard. I got broccoli as my side - no seasoning at all. It wasn't a memorable meal and probably not something we would venture to try again.

    Bahama Mamma Cocktail

    My daughter and I grabbed a quick bite at Gators Dockside this afternoon. Hannah C. (On my receipt) was our server. She was so sweet and great. They were busy and short staffed but everyone was nice. Customers were also kind to staff, which was nice to see. She recommended the Shrimp and Grits after I mentioned them. She said they have delicious shrimp, so although she had not had the shrimp and grits, she felt confident it would be great. So I ordered that, Bahama Mamma drink, my daughter got lemonade, bbq wings and fries. Everything was delicious. I mean super good. So good we ordered a ton of food to go for our family at home, and they sang the praises of their Pub Pretzel, fries, gyros, two different flavors of chicken wings (especially the Cajun Ranch). There was not one thing they did not think was awesome. Way to go Gators and Hannah!!!!

    The Pub Pretzel with Deli mustard

    I love the wings at GATORS! They always come out looking and smelling delicious. Tonight, I picked up my favorites, the Pub Pretzel with deli mustard and 10, Hot Garlic Wings. I ordered them the "GATOR" way and with Ranch.

    French fries

    I ordered a to-go meal from here and the fries they sent were burnt and indelible. This place has been going downhill for years. Sadly this will be my last time going here.

    Twas a stormy summer evening and my friend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat…read more He mentioned that this pub had recently been renovated close to his home so off we went. He said that it was not the cleanest or nicest establishment but that it had since then gotten new management. Parking was ample since the lot is for several other establishments. When we pulled up I was pleasantly surprised by how it evoked the British culture with its styling. The inside was warmly lit and they were having a Bingo night with a $5 entry. We were less interested in the bingo night and more fixated on getting fed. We decided to sit down at the bar as most of the tables were full with families, couples, and small groups of 4-6 people. We were helped by the bartender who was patient and gave us time to take in the ambience and the menu. We decided to share an appetizer and entree. Amused by the name we decided on the Lush Mush. Yummmmm....the port reduction... delectable. For those hesitating on this selection because of the blue cheese fear not! It was not strong but made mild and gentle by the cream. The shepherds pie was comforting and satisfying. A hearty farmer's style meal. We were satisfied. The establishment was clean. We briefly explored the outside bar area which had multiple TV's for sports aficionados. It's a great locals spot for this are of Winter Garden which is a little ways from the main area. There is a secret room to explore which I didn't get a chance to enter. Hopefully, if I return on a weekend it will be open and I'll get to see what is inside. All-in-all I recommend this establishment. With the new management it's off to a great start. They had different events each night including live music, so come on over and stay awhile!

    Excited to make this our new go to for a night cap or quick bite!…read more We went in on a Tuesday night and it wasn't super busy. Our server, Bobby was fantastic! He was super personable and really wanted to know what our thoughts were on the food and drinks. We had an order of the garlic parm wings, and the loaded potato skins. The sauce on the wings were good - wish they were a little crisper. The potato skins were okay. The raw onion was a miss in my option. We also had an order of the chicken tenders with the garlic parm sauce. They were tasty. I got the chicken tikka masala. It was really tasty! Naan bread was toasted perfectly and the spice has a nice building spice. It's not overwhelming at all but I also like spice. They carry Magers cider on tap in both the original and pear! I had the pear and it was delicious! My husband tried their label lager. It was very light.

Backstory- To know ones surprise the owner is Sheila and she's had the joint for about five years. The first surprise is they are open 2 PM-2AM seven days a week and Sheila works every hour! That's right; twelve hours a day, seven days a week. Yikes! The second surprise is that before she became a bar owner, she was a phycologist. That makes for some interesting conversations! Atmosphere- Come on folks it's a dive bar! Before this it was a fruit stand and before that it was a gas station. You're coming here for a cheap drink, good company and not the décor. It has a pool table, darts and a TouchTunes jukebox. BTW- The parking lot is big. Adult libations- Full bar of course. Not really a specialty draft place; just the common stuff. The same with the wines. This place is also a liquor store or sometimes called a bottle shop. That means you can bring a bottle home! So when it's 95 outside, stop in where it's dark and cool and have a pop or two and some stimulating conversation with an interesting lady!
