All you can eat wings
Nathali N.

I love coming here every Monday for all you can eat wings , don't miss out. They are so delicious with like 20+ different flavors for your wings to try also the waiter are nice and fast. You will have like variety of options on where they are grilled, crispy and I forgot the other one. Oh yes breaded

Loved, Loved this restaurant the ambiance was nice, the waitor and bartender were very nice and we went twice on our visit in Orlando and one night they had live music which was nice. We went with our niece and nephew's, and everyone was pleased with the foods and drinks we ordered. My sweet and spicy jalapeños burger was delicious. The second night we went, I had seafood pasta, which was also very good. The service was very nice

Very sad lemon pepper wings
Nicole S.

Gator's used to be one of my favorite places to get wings. Time and time again, i have been disappointed but nothing like my last experience. I called in an order of 35 wings for a small get together to watch a basketball game. The gentleman over the phone was friendly and repeated my ordered to me as well as the time i was going to pick the wings up. When i arrived, not only was my order not ready...it had become lost in the matrix. The same guy at the bar i spoke to was the same gentleman who took my order over the phone. He had no explanation for the lost order. He stated he would speak to his manager and took $5 off of a $57 bill. He also stated i could wait a few minutes for someone else's wings that were almost ready. $50 for 35 wings is a lot but my friends wanted wings. So i waited about 10 minutes... Well...it gets worse. I get to my friends house and most of the dang wings were burned! The lemon pepper were supposed to be sauced...instead they were dry rubbed, over cooked, and burned - not edible. The hot teriyaki and caribbean jerked were also burned and carbonized. Crispy does not mean burned to blackness. Terrible. I wanted to call for a refund but didn't want to deal with it. Very disappointed in the service and food.

Chicken Philly Cheesesteak with a side of Coleslaw
Jackie S.

Ordered the Parmesan garlic Wings & honey garlic Wings and two orders of Philly cheesesteak, one for chicken and the other with steak from Uber eats and it was one buy get one free from each. We decided to get pick up and it was overall a great experience. Pick up was easy, food was well made and tasted fresh and delicious. Only downside was there were no utensils or packets of ketchup & Mayo on the side which unfortunately due to a recent move we have neither but we managed. Would buy again.

Many are still wearing masks. Can smell delicious charred meat through mine.

I've been to this Gator's numerous times and it's usually pretty good. In the past, I've had their wings (Grilled with scooter sauce), Rib dinner (had a great price on a full rack), and numerous appetizers, drinks, and desserts. On this visit, it was right when the state opened back up with 100% capacity in restaurants. They did not require a mask, however, staff wore masks and most patrons did as well. I heard they had a veggie wing so I was eager to try it and talked a few others into going out. They also had a Beyond Burger so it's nice to see a sports bar offer items for vegans and vegetarians. The veggie wings in Scooter Sauce were Ok. They were kind of like chicken nuggets. They came with a bunch of fries which made it worth the money, but I wouldn't go back for that. The Fish and Chips was excellent as were the onion petals. The fish sandwich was Ok and would have been 1000% better if they used the same fish from the Fish and Chips. The Steak Poutine was a favorite as was the burger. Service was good and a manager stopped by and sat for a bit to talk to us and thank us for dining with them. That was a nice touch. The reason I didn't give it more stars is the Deland Location was off the hook delicious in comparison. How could 2 different locations be that different in quality? Maybe it's the smaller menu in Deland, but it was a noticeable difference. 3.5 stars but rounding up due to the Service.

Jamie G.

Pros: This place has fantastic American fare at great prices. The wings and fries are very good, especially if you get the wings grilled and smothered in hot garlic sauce. Cons: The lighting in the dining room is totally wrong, bothersome, and the incorrect color temperature for a table service restaurant; 3000k or 2700k soft white are appropriate for table service, 5000k or 6500k cool white are appropriate for fast food, take out, and gas stations. It's also very loud, and especially annoying on bingo night. People: Good Process: Good Product: Good Quality: Good Quantity: Good Value: Fair Cleanliness: Good Ambience: Fair Timing: Good Attention To Detail: Fair

We ordered some beers and nachos to share, and honestly the nachos were really good and a big portion, loaded with plenty of meat which we loved. The staff was friendly and food came fast.

I really liked that they have QR codes at every table so you can order everything right from your phone and they bring it out to you, which makes things super easy when you're in a group. The food was actually really good too. The buffalo chicken dip and nachos were both great, and the chicken tenders were solid. The blue cheese especially stood out, it tasted homemade and was really good. Beyond the mini golf, there's a ton to do. They have foosball, ping pong, cornhole, giant Connect 4, and other games, which makes it more than just a golf spot. The golf is the only thing you have to pay for, so it's nice that you can still hang out and play games without committing to that. Service was excellent, especially considering how busy it was. Overall, such a fun atmosphere and a great place to celebrate something or just hang out. I'd definitely go back

The tavern had a…read morelarge party group that was around the bar but they had plenty of open seating in the front part of the restaurant. There appeared to be two people checking on the people who were in the front of the house. You can sit wherever you like and eventually someone will come in and take your order. The person who waited on us did not normally work on Monday nights. She was very pleasant. I thought it took a little longer to get my food. Luckily the game was going to start soon so it took my mind off of having to wait so long. I ordered the smash burger and fries. The fries were crispy and hot. The smash burger was sub par. Burger, cheese, bun. Absolutely zero seasoning. Toppings were extra so I just got it with cheddar cheese. Flavor wise it was definitely lacking. The wings were crispy and the teriyaki sauce was good. I asked for my check and waited over 20 minutes. The person who I asked for my checked walked by like she had forgotten that I had even asked. When she mentioned oh I'll be right back with your check and the wings! I had to go to the bar to get it because the waiter never brought it over. Now I came here to watch the game. While it was playing on all the TVs, there was no sound. I am not sure if it had anything to do with the large party that was there, but I was disappointed that they did not have any sound playing for the game. Hopefully this was an off night, was hoping for a better experience for a bar that is supposed to be an Eagles bar.

They had great decor and the game was on TV all around the bar. It was perfect for us. They were SUPER busy and could tell they were short staffed. The servers were all very friendly and said it would be just a bit for food to come out. No problem since we could watch the game while we waited. We ordered some pretzel bites for an appetizer and that came out pretty quick to give us something to snack on as well. My oldest did the shrimp burrito and she really loved it. It was also huge so she was able to take half home to have the next day. I shared the Greggie (Philly) since I was not too hungry and it was good. The others had the wings and they liked those as well. It did take a while for the food, but since the server communicated that before we ordered we didn't have a concern with it. Very chill vibe and would go again when on that side of town.

We ordered a appetizer (the goat cheese croquettes ) very good Our entrees were the Mahi and the Braised short ribs . We love to share . They both did not disappoint. The restaurant also helped to celebrate our anniversary with complimentary champagne and a decadent dessert ( the cookies and cream cheesecake ) worth every calorie Dustin the manager came by to see how things were going and also shared some of the history behind the restaurant.

The service is honestly the only reason I would give this location a positive rating. Our waiter was nice and would refill our drinks without even asking. I also noticed that the executive chef would bring out the food somtimes to other tables and was very nice. The food unfortunately was a miss for me and expensive. A 6oz steak was 25$$ on their menu. I ordered the wings as an appetizer. They came out super fast but they were dry and lacking in sauce. I ordered the Classic burger. It was lacking in flavor as if it had no salt or seasoning on it and the fries were soggy and rubbery at the same time with no flavor. My parter had the chicken (fried) wrap and it was also soggy and lacking flavor. If you are looking for tavern food, just go to ale house around the corner or chickfila for a chicken wrap. I am very disappointed I doubt I will go a third time.
