    Mac & Cheese/ baby vomit

    If I could choose 0 stars I would. I ordered a gator smash burger which wasn't very good with a side of Mac & cheese that looks and taste like baby throw up. They will never get money from me again.

    Closed them up.

    Nothing speaks louder than great service late in the day, uh, with a large party. A party of theatrically minded amazing people. Let me say "Thank you!" to Gator's AND definitely to Sarah T, our Super Server! Everything about this visit was the perfect wrap up to a phenomenal evening. I was just craving a Cobb Salad. The others more than made up for it with the variety of their orders. Had the food been bad that'd been so sad. It rocked! We literally closed the place down. I couldn't resist taking one final pic as I turned around at the door. A forest of chair legs afore me.

    BOGO ALL DAY EVERY DAY!!  Misleading advertisement since you pay more for first!!!

    We visited on a Saturday night. We were offered "BOGO" on beer after ordering. Question was "Would you like BOGO or Pint?" BOGO seems best, correct? NO!!! With BOGO beer, you pay more for single 10oz mug cost than single pint. It bothered my husband. I watched server immediately tell manager our concern. Female, blonde manager looked our way & then took 15-minutes to visit table, only after server mentioned John, the GM would be stopping by, John looked & then sent female FOH shift manager?! Explanation was "We do not set prices! I will only charge you for pint. We have received lots of complaints lately since beer prices have gone up?!" THEN FIX THE PROBLEM!!! Management lacks accountability, doesn't appreciate or want feedback, and evades customer interactions. No menu shows prices. No beer menu list. Even server said, "I asked you if you wanted BOGO or pint?" Without price list you EXPECT server is going to lead you down best path...or a good server would take that ownership?! BUYER BEWARE MISLEADING MARKETING!! Pint was $7.79, 10oz mug was $9.99/but BOGO dogot 20oz. (.485/oz or BOGO .50/oz???) Maybe next time Management will reconsider speaking with a customers!

    Super Unhappy with the amount of food I got for the fries and gator tail, picture was taken as soon as I got home  Food is delicious though

    Why are my portions for the size of a baby and I payed full price?!?! The food is delicious I'm just super disappointed I spent $15 for 10 small pieces of gator and got maybe a handful of fries :(

    Gator's Dockside is a solid joint for quick and easy fast food. My friend and I got a gigantic platter of various appetizers including the mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, and some sort of fried beans stick? Not sure exactly what I should call it. The gator itself tastes just like chicken to be frank and it is good. All in all, I would return and am open to trying other things on the menu.

    Just agree there a few nights ago - the service is good. I like the Greek salad, which is fairly new.

    I've been going to Gators for years since my college years. They have one of the best wing spots in town.

    We were on our way to a manatee sightseeing in the area and I found this on Yelp, the reviews…read morelooked good so we tried them out. We weren't disappointed at all it was a very nice patio (but might I say that the name of the place"riverside" gives you the impression that is actually on the water but it's in a very good area. Very close to town with easy parking. The service was fast and efficient the food was good and for the area I think it was one of the better choices. They have a band set up for the evenings, and lots of room for people to enjoy a cold beer on the summer night.

    My boyfriend and I were in Crystal River, and we're looking for a dog friendly place to have lunch…read more Using Yelp, we found Norton's Riverside Bar and Grill. We arrived and immediately saw the large, well equipped deck and outdoor seating. The tables had umbrellas, and there were outdoor fans. We sat and we're greeted by our server promptly. The menu had all the classic sports bar grub, and a good selection. I chose the blackened grouper sandwich, and my boyfriend had the fish and chips. My sandwich was delicious! A nice bun toasted with blackened grouper, lettuce and tomato (and tartar sauce on the side) and it came with tater tots. My boyfriend said the fish had a nice crunch, and the cole slaw was delicious and sweet. The dog, Saint, loved all of the food, too. Although we don't drink, there was a full bar and drink specials. This restaurant was exactly what we were looking for today, and we are glad we happened up on it!
