    Awesome Bar/restaurant. The Food is really good and the service is great. Definitely a great place to watch sports and have some food and drinks.

    Patrick, the manager and Tiffany the bartender were exceptionally kind and attentive. Alex personally assisted us with the drinks and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed for a great experience. The next time you visit the bar, be sure to ask for Patrick-and Tiffany they truly elevate the service!"

    Through UberEats What I ordered 10 wings, house chips, fries and sweet potato fries. The wings I ordered was suppose to be dry rub caribbean wings, but they gave me the wrong flavor, not sure what it is, tasted like buffalo but not sure... Despite not being my flavor of choice, the wings were quite juicy and not dry and relatively big. The house chips were really crunchy and not overly salty. The sweet potato fries were good as well, seems they didn't put salt on it (not complaining), the fries were like dirty fries, it had seasoning, it was good. Environment There was no dedicated space for parking to pick up (at least I didn't see it). The interior seems very friendly and welcoming. Niceness of the staff Very nice staff. I initially scheduled my order but was able to call in to get it earlier. Also for the wings that I got the wrong flavor for, the manager was very accommodating and I was able to get a replacement via UberEats very quickly. Professionally handled. Dollar It was reasonable. 5 wings were $10, but the more you get the less it is. The sides were 3-5$ a piece. Yes? I would order from here again.

    This location is hit or miss on service and food. I've been here several times and have enjoyed some items that were decent, like the chili. Other items have been disgusting like the pot roast dinner with strange, sweet tasting mashed potatoes and salty beef. This weekend, I tried the Cobb Salad and it was really bad. The bacon was chewy instead of crispy. The chicken was dry with a strange flavor. They forgot to add the blue cheese, which is pretty standard on a Cobb Salad. The waitress later brought some out in a small sauce cup after I asked for it 2 times. The avocado was not ripe and had a hard texture with no flavor. Based on this experience, I would likely not order this salad again. I have had good salads here, so I know they can do better. My friend ordered a new item, called steak bites. It is normally served on garlic bread pieces. She subbed the bread out for a salad mix. She also subbed the Cajun sauce for chimmichurri sauce and enjoyed her meal. Hoping the next experience will be a hit.

    Service was excelente. My group had a few questions about their drink selection. How some drinks were made with? If we could change out certain types of liquor it the drinks. Staff would answer our questions and if the answer was not known they would go find out the answer and return quickly with the response. Staff had so much patience for our group. I had ordered their fried pickles which I love! For the price there were a lot in my opinion. I do order fried pickles in different locations with quantity lacking not matching the price. But I was pleased with the quantity and taste of my order. I did order their regular margarita. But it was more like a lemonade than a margarita. I had to order an additional shot for it to be really considered a margarita. When I came in it was 10pm and from what I understand and saw it gets busy. But Staff was quick getting our food out and drinks. And with it being busy the place was being cleaned on a regular. I would recommend.

    Visiting our daughter and she suggested Gator's. I checked out their online menu and some of their reviews. It's a sports bar with lots of televisions. Our waitress, Mia, was great. I had their Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It was really good. Be warned they do not skimp on the amount of buffalo sauce like some places. I always get a side of ranch. My daughter had the grilled shrimp tacos.

    Recently hit gators for dinner while we were in town based on a friends recommendation and were pleasantly surprised. We started with the gator bites. Meaty chunks of gator, battered and deep fried. Every piece was tender, hot and delicious. Came with a honey mustard dipping sauce. So good! Wings are the thing at Gators and according to my buddy, the scooter sauce is the way to go. While the wings were EXACTLY how i like them being big, meaty, lightly breaded the scooter sauce wasn't for me. I'm a spicy fan and the scooter sauce is a sweet and salty combination. If you like that kinda flavor, then these are AWESOME!! I also ordered 10 hot/garlic wings and these were INCREDIBLE! Spicy sauce with that garlic bite on these wings were the perfect combination. I would crush 25 of these. Fries were on point. Hot, crispy, salty and plentiful. Service was great too. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure everything came out right. She also checked on us multiple times and made sure our drinks stayed full. This place reminds me a local sports bar meets family restaurant. The ambiance is perfect for almost anybody. Trivia night was a blast! We came in second and won a $30 GC!!!!

    Time to give a little love to a trashy local favorite. Gator's is where you come when you wanna grab a cheap drink, some decent food, and have a chill and relaxed time. Don't come expecting anything else and you'll have a good time. Offering both indoor, bar, and outdoor seating, head to the host stand to be seated. We often find ourselves requesting outside seating as they have a nice patio area and we typically come in the evenings. So far as the menu, you can expect your typical bar menu fair (burgers, wings, fried things) but also we often find some unexpected findings in seafood pastas, poutine, etc. We've been frequenting Gators for a few years now and over that time we've seen their menu go through several changes. More often than not I'll find myself ordering buffalo cauliflower, veggie wings, or poutine. So far as wing sauce I enjoy garlic hot, hot chipotle honey bbq, and sweet thai chili. While their food is good, the real reason we come to Gators is for their drinks! Are they anything special, no. But what they are are good, strong, and cheap! They have daily specials, regular BOGOs, and a great selection. Nothing better than sitting outside, having a drink and a bite to eat, and seeing/hearing the Magic Kingdom fireworks going off in the distance. Service has always been great for us-friendly and fun without being overbearing. Our drinks have stayed filled, they've been knowledgeable regarding the menus, specials, etc and making sure our needs are met without feeling intrusive. Between the cheap drinks, good food, and friendly service Gator's has become a reliable spot for a chill and fun evening.

    Great and varied menu in this sports bar. The service has always been friendly, helpful and good. The food is consistent good, not great, but very good value for the money. The prices are very reasonable. If you can't find something to eat or drink here, and a television for your event. You are difficult to please.

    Have not been here in a while and I see they made some changes with the menu. Was a QUIET atmosphere this afternoon which is nice for a gators. The service was good and we really enjoyed the buffalo cauliflower bite a long with the gator taters. I did ask for the wings to be extra extra extra CRISPY.... And no but I didn't feel like fighting that battle and just made do with what we got.

In a mecca of food options that Disney Springs is, I admittedly don't think of Earl of Sandwich as a first option often, but after a long night at Level 99... a quick sandwich was the perfect way to go! We ordered: The Earl's Club - why not order the namesakes sammich? The bread is phenomenal - a mix between fresh baked bread and a flaky pastry, it made the entire experience level up! Plenty of toppings and delicious flavors - only caveat was that we had to open it up and redistribute the toppings evenly. The service is extraordinary. At 10:00 PM, they still had over 15 staff, so everything was well taken care of including staff ready to wipe down every used table within seconds of people vacating them. With plenty of booths and tables, the inside is nice and simple comfort. In a pinch, I found a new option.

The Vibe: From the outside, the shop is pretty unassuming, tucked into a strip mall--but that's often where the best deli spots are hiding. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a busy lunch rush and a fast-paced New York deli vibe, with staff cranking out sandwiches left and right. Always a good sign. What We Ordered: * Hot Rachel * Classic Italian * 1/2 lb pesto macaroni salad * 1/2 lb redskin potato salad We took everything home for lunch and... Every single thing was delicious. Sandwich Highlights: The Hot Rachel was exactly what you want from a deli sandwich--tender pastrami, melty Swiss, tangy slaw, and toasted rye all working together perfectly. Stacked high and full of flavor. My husband's Classic Italian was also fantastic, loaded with meats and that classic deli balance of flavors. Both deli salads were great, but the pesto macaroni salad was the standout--creamy, herby, and packed with flavor. We're honestly so excited to have discovered a great New York-style deli less than 10 minutes from our house. Safe to say we'll definitely be back soon to work our way through the rest of the menu. Pro tip: Don't skip the deli salads--grab one or two to share with your sandwich.

    Oh gimme all the pizza please !…read more Located in Pointe Orlando directly across from PBR cowboy and next to Still lounge, this is a perfect late night spot to grab food. It was so good we came back twice in 2 days after dancing the night away. The first visit , me and my friends split a large pizza for $20 and grabbed soft drinks , all under $30! The pizza was so good we were all like , yea this beats any place we've been too outside of so do square and that's a good tie for first place. The following night , I came back after a date to grab a slice to go and it was so good , we ordered a pie to go ! Service was quick and I loved that the pizza was made fresh. I'd definitely come back just to grab a pizza and chill.

    I'll take my pizza with an attitude on top thank you?…read more So right from the start walking up to the counter we were greeted by a girl who just seemed blatantly entitled from the start as we ordered a very simple two pizzas to go one pepperoni and onion and one vodka sauce it was then that the girl who hadn't said more than two words to me says is that all and I said yes but thankfully I noticed on the screen she gave me one with hot honey on it and was charging me for it I told her I didn't want that and she said well you told me you wanted hot honey it was then the other person with me said that I never said that and the girl caught even more of an attitude knowing someone else knew she was in the wrong like I'm not sure what her problem was but learn how to be nice to someone who's actually being nice to you and that's coming from someone who's worked in the retail and hospitality sector for a very long time as I could have been rude back but that solves nothing! After dealing with her we waited for our pizza and after it was done we went to get it and then upon opening it we discovered that they must be on a onion budget because there was a few pieces of it on our pie with more than half of it lacking one of the toppings we had paid an extra few dollars for not wanting to deal with her attitude again we just ate it. Of the two pizzas the vodka sauce one was the better of the two but the pizza itself felt like it lacked a good amount of vodka sauce leaving one to eat just what it had on top of it, with the pepperoni one being about the same but with the missing onions. Either way I feel as if our whole group just felt as if we weren't wanted here as our pizzas were lacking what they were supposed to have and the encounter left us feeling like this was done intentionally to us for correcting one entitled cashier who likes to argue, needless to say I wouldn't come back here again.
