Wonderful service! Chloe was a great server. The Cuban sandwich was SO good (I ordered it with mustard instead of gator sauce to keep it authentic). The fries were really good and we had all you can eat boneless chicken wings with different flavors that were very tasty. Too many fries!!! lol Trivia was a blast-- great time!!! read more

Very disappointed with this takeout order from Gators Dockside. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap had no buffalo sauce at all, they put ranch so so it was a plain chicken wrap with ranch. The onion petals were soggy, flimsy, and barely battered so I could not eat them! you could see most of the onion showing through, and they tasted old instead of crispy. The shrimp was tough and unexpectedly spicy, with no indication on the menu that it had heat to it. The buttered corn was completely unseasoned and honestly looked like canned corn dumped into a container. No utensils provided. For almost $36, this was some of the worst restaurant food I've spent money on in years. Definitely not worth the price, and the quality was way below what I expected. read more

I ordered the Wings ate them and got really sick!! I sent the first batch back because they were undercooked. I didn't make it out of the restaurant and had GI issues. We live 2 miles from Gators and Vomitted 2x on the way home. I don't recommend Gators!! read more

Nice sports bar. Good local crowd especially if you like trivia. Noon time every day there are from 5 to 10 people playing all regulars playing on a national feed. We do quite well against other establishments around the country! Prices are good with a lunch deal of $10 back for every 5 visits. Fried shrimp, BLT, fries clams and Cuban sandwich are our favorites! Bar tenders are great! read more

First time coming here, wanted a place to try something new and to actually try Alligator for the first time as well. This place definitely has a great home like cabin feeling upon entering. The waitress we had was really friendly and we were greeted to a table right away. It featured a bar too which was great! Gator tail that I ordered was really good but I highly recommend having it with the sauce that was given. Ordered some carribean jerk wings with a side of fries as well. All of it was a great experience. Fair prices as well. 4.5 star establishment overall. read more

This place is really hit or miss. Miss more often than not. My wife said she wanted"munchie" food. We thought a couple apps and some wings would be just the thing during a busy college football week . They have something called tailgate poutine. I have never had poutine like this. The fries were covered in a bland pot roast, they said there was gravy but it was just the juice created by the pot roast. 5 cheese curds on the whole plate. They were awful. We got chips and queso. The queso was room temperature. Like they opened the can and put it in the bowl. It took about 10 minutes to get a replacement and we did not get enough chips to eat it all. The wings were on point. We had hot garlic and carribean jerk. They were cooked perfect, had enough sauce and both flavors tasted good. Our service was pretty bad. We had to wave someone down when we needed drink refills and to get a bill. Once we got our bill it took way to long to get cashed out. It is unfortunate that we don't have better places like this around Nassau. read more

Was waiting for 30 minutes and had 3 servers pass us multiple times. I don't normally like to be like this but it was just unfortunate because we didn't even get offered a drink order or anything just waiting to be see by anyone. read more

Fun sports bar in Yulee. Much better than the other options in town. The food is pretty basic but the atmosphere and TVs make up for it. read more

Only place open late. Food was good. Beer was cold. Lots of good appetizers and decent food offerings. Friendly staff and lots of tvs with every sport imaginable. Says they show UFC and football games on those particular days. They were training someone and also out of two of the items we wanted to order. So a little slow. Wife doesn't like salt on her Margaritas and ordered it without it. They must have forgot and then just wiped it off before they brought it out. Of course salt all in the drink and still around the lip of glasses. Not the only place to do that but not acceptable. Overall good place. We will try them again and see if they are in-stock on the food we want. Wings are good, nachos good, and egg rolls were good. Decent portions. We wanted to try their gator tail but was out. read more

Gator's Dockside - Beautiful patron. - Sports Bars Near Me - Yulee, Florida

This is our second time at gators, mainly because our neighbors like it. It's a basic sports bar with a bunch of tvs and cheap food. The first time was ok, we went again tonight, arrived at 6pm, there were people there but not crowded, seated immediately, server named Heather took drink orders and said the computers are down so if you want to pay by credit card, we will have to write down the numbers or pay cash, we had cash no problem. She brought drinks and took our dinner order, we ordered an appetizer. Well an hour and a half later she said, your food is an almost ready!!! Meanwhile every table around us came in after us, ate and left and the whole time she was sitting at a table counting her tips and talking to other servers, and blaming it on the computers. If it was the computers why did the other customers get their orders? The food was good but I won't go back, it was too frustrating, at the very least we should have been offered a free drink or dessert, very disappointed, also our appetizer came way after our dinners and it was under cooked wings read more

Creating better quality food would be a start at this Resturant. The staff is great but menu choices are lacking for seafood.

Always great service at the bar and the wings are the best. Cool laid back atmosphere. Trivia is always a good time.

Food is average but service is always terrible. I've been here on many occasions which- I guess it's on me that I ever even went back and each time the service has gotten worse. Finally, I've learned my lesson at this point as I went in later at night around 9:30-10. Sat for OVER 30 minutes waiting for a server. While a blonde server casually swept around tables. She finally stopped after 30 minutes to say oh, I guess I'll help you guys i don't know where your server is. It is not like we came in close to closing as they close at MIDNIGHT & it's not like we sat ourselves. It was ridiculous and I will NEVER go back. read more

We went there last night to watch the Cotton Bowl. We were seated right away, greeted with a great server (don't remember her name). The food came out fast and the beer was ice cold. It's a great place to watch sports. The only con is the overhead lighting is a little harsh, other than that is tastefully decorated. read more

First and last time getting food with them not only could I not taste any of there food but it was mushy... I got a chicken sandwich and the toast, breading all squishy and falling apart the chicken undercooked and got sick from just two bites... my friend ordered the wing bites and somehow that was overcooked on the inside like jerky and again mushy on the outside if you mess up on something very simple like frying chicken nuggets I don't want to try anything else. read more

First time here and a nice experience. Nice sports bar vibe. TVs line the walls with assorted sports showing on each. The volume wasn't loud at all. Which was nice. Our server was lovely and very attentive. We tried the gator tail, which was good. The seafood trio with chargrilled fish, chargrilled shrimp and fried oysters. All were perfectly seasoned and tasty. I asked for cheese grits instead of fries and those were EXCELLENT!!! I will be back just to get those grits again! Absolutely recommend this place for a casual dining experience. read more

Door Dashed this $35 garbage. The sandwich has a piece of cheese place meticulously atop the bun and a salad with enough salad dressing to dress a crouton. Never again. read more

Devante is the absolute best server!!! He's always on top of it. I too wish I could adopt him. I love coming here every week for trivia!

Come here every Wednesday for trivia night, and stay for the exceptional food and service. The only thing more welcoming than Devante's smile is his exceptional service. I often wish I could adopt him as my own son because of what an exceptional and polite young man he is. We love you Devantae! read more

Mediocre food at at not so mediocre price. Like a lot of restaurants nowadays, they advertise 99¢ chicken wings like it is a good deal, when in reality it is $1.98 per chicken wing. When you point that out on their Facebook page, they block you. read more

We don't have any sports bar options in the area so I've ended up at Gator's 4-5 times. I've ordered something different every time- most have their "speciality" logos, and everything has been terrible. Service has been just OK. Would not recommend. read more

All beer taps down for maintenance last I checked. Nothing goes better than fresh Gator Tail cream ale. read more

TLDR: Nice service, lunch special food. The atmosphere seems great, went here for a lunch special. Our servers were very nice. Servers: 5/5 Food: Got the lunch special chicken tenders. Price is decent for the portion size. Chicken Tenders: 3/5 - Semi Crispy, needed more seasoning. The gator's scooter sauce was pretty good, tasted like a thai sweet chili with tabasco sauce mixed together. Gators chips: 3/5 - Semi Crispy, potato tasting, requires additional seasoning. Very thick cut chip so it doesn't crisp all the way through when fried. Fries: 2/5 - Crinkle cut, semi crispy but texture wise seemed like a half day old mcdonalds fry. read more

Really good food and choices. Really fun environment with TVs all over the place and trivia games to play !!! The burgers are good... Cuban sandwich is really good and I love their potato skins ! Service personnel were very nice and pleasant... price point is middle to upper middle on the scale. I'd definitely visit again read more

Love this place. Tonight they had musical bingo for entertainment. Traffic was not that busy which was surprising since it is Valentine's Day. I tried the Buffalo cauliflower and it was delicious. I also ordered a gyro and it as not as good as I wanted it to be. They had bogo on the margaritas. read more

I have been a fan of Gator's Dockside since I moved to Florida back in 2001. Twenty years later, I still enjoy this restaurant. I guess it is more adequate to describe it as a bar/restaurant. They have good burgers, wings and other bar type foods. They really don't take many chances, but that is not a bad thing. They know what Their audience wants and they give the customers what they demand. I would definitely recommend this location or any of their locations. I have been to many of them and I have never had a bad experience at any of them. Give them a try, I think you will be a fan. read more

The Thai peanut shrimp salad was a 10. Bursting with flavor. I would not recommend the spinach artichoke dip. It was very dry. The Mac n Cheese burger was a big hit with the kids. Chicken wrap with the sweet Thai chili sauce was also excellent read more

Servers are great. Making me pay for dressings and celery is cheap though. I come Monday for 99c wings then they end up costing the same because I wanted a few extra cups of ranch and celery. read more

Good food and good service Great place to watch a football game..!! I had fun in there outside area. read more

We were promptly seated and got waters. Our waiter said she would be back in a minute to let us look at the menu, and never returned. We sat for 15-20min. People who just sat down behind us placing their order. She also acknowledged to another waiter that we were her table right next to us. So we waited some more and left 5 minutes later after no one returning to take our order. Very disappointed. read more

Not the best but also not the worst. That's all you can really say about this place. However if you do visit, try the Thai wings, only thing I'd ever stop here for. read more

Good buffalo chicken salads if you want the quick prep for a colonoscopy, service was great and waiter was very friendly.

Stopped by Gators Dockside tonight for a quick bite as it had been a busy day and my kitchen said dont get me dirty. Although the parking lot was packed we were able to get seated right away. Our waitress was Andrea and she was just full of personality and smiles. She gave rave reviews of the mac-n-cheese and other menu items. We ordered gator bites for an appetizer, a burger with a side of mac n cheese and I ordered the fish sandwich with fries. First the gator bites....no they dont taste like chicken, I dont care what people say...they just dont. The cup size is proportionally small considering the price so I probably would not order these again. Also, the top layer of the bites were fine, but the bottom layer was nothing but over done crispy nothingness. It's as if the chef stuck those in the bottom to fill up the cup even more. I did not order the well done hamburger but I was told it was good. I did take a bite of the mac n cheese and can confirm that it is made with velveeta and that makes everything velvety good. Now for the over done, over crispy fish sandwich. Which fry cook was not watching the fryer? This thing was crispy X's infinity. Dry....no amount of tartar sauce would make this fish slide down properly. Simply put, I think about two bites went swimming down my throat. When the manager came by to ask how things were I explained and showed him the issue and he acknowledged the problem as you could see it visually. He tried to make it up with a dessert, but who really wants dessert when you have not had dinner. I just said no thanks to that and he said he hoped I would give them another opportunity. When the bill arrived they had removed the bad fish meal which I did not eat. The meal did come with fries also which were standard crinkle cut fries which ironically were not over done and could have been a bit more done. More crispy fries, less crispy over done fish makes people happier. Now that I think of it, when the sandwich arrived at the table it was barely warm so maybe my fish was refried fish and warmed and dried up. Who knows, but it might be a while before we give them a second chance. 3 stars for good mac n cheese! read more

Gator's is my favorite go to place, when coming to Fl. I was pleasantly surprised to find a new one in Yulee, as we were headed to Fernandina Beach. This one is new and did not disappoint me with my expectations. Yummmm... The great part is getting my hubby as hooked on them as I am! If we could get one in GA now so I could go less time without my cravings! read more

You will not be disappointed with the food and service! The fried mushrooms are made in house and are amazing! Just make sure you cut them open so you don't burn your mouth. The fried pickles are also made in house and are crisp not greasy at all. The place is clean and service is on point! Ask for Eva she will take good care of you! read more

The servers are really friendly and welcoming. Their Gator was spot on as is their snapper. They have some weekday wing specials that include a side and a pint! You can get Wing in or boneless, fried or grilled. Their mashed potatoes are perfectly homemade and their sweet tea was a real treat. read more

I live locally and this has become one of my favorites. Classic bar food done very well with great service. The reason for the lower rating is due to evenings when they have trivia and special events. Way too loud!!! Ask when you ask the DJ/host to please turn it down he won't. This is a business killer for them and not an enhancement. Everyone I know here has walked right back out when they see the DJ there. I do it myself. If you don't like the insane loudness then stay away during special events such as trivia night. read more

Gator's Dockside - My burger without the main topping - Sports Bars Near Me - Yulee, Florida

We visited on October 8th around 7:30pm. The restaurant wasn't very busy. We were seated by a friendly hostess. After sitting at the table for 10 minutes with zero acknowledgment from the wait staff we decided we would go somewhere else. A server assisted the table beside us and then proceeded to clean off a dirty table, never asking if we had been attended to. read more

First time food was very good service was kind of slow but we enjoyed the food will be going back
