Went after my DH played a show last week. The place is filthy. Crabby waitress got pissed that we wanted food, not just drinks, carded my 57yr old mom &21 yr old son from CA. She said he needed a checking acct or a LIBRARY card to verify he was 21! Seriously!? A library card?! Asked to talk to a manager got sent to the bartender. Asked the bartender, he said one wasn't available. Asked when there would be one in, and for a name, and no one would give me one. Dirty, LAZY STAFF, bad bad attitudes. Walked out. Will not EVER go back. read more

Gator's has really grown on me! I like that they have a patio with the same bench seating as inside, great drafts for very reasonable prices, a full bar, very good food, and even a pretty impressive brunch menu. The fact that everyone seems to know each other here is also comforting. There is a pretty warm sense of family here, even for someone who's only been here a time or two. I've been here 3 times now, once for breakfast, and twice for drinks and dinner/lunch. I was very satisfied each time. The food here is actually really good, above and beyond what I had expected. It's your typical pub grub menu with breakfast options, but they really deliver on the portion sizes and flavor. Very well done! The only thing that worries me is that they always seem to be hiring new cooks and other staff. I hope the turnover isn't a bad sign of things to come, because I really love this place and the food the way it is. I hear they have some pretty fun nights here, like karaoke and even some dancing from time to time. I could see this place being a really good time just based on the loyal patronage and positive vibes I get every time I come here. The only thing I sort of don't like about this place, I also like, if that makes sense!? It kind of has a divey, run down feel as well. It's a well known video poker haven, which seems to dive-down any place with a quickness. They also could use a few upgrades in regards to interior design and aesthetics, but, I think it's still ok the way it is. I think it's ok for a place to stay a little on the divey side anyways! As long as the beer is cold and cheap, and the food stays good, I will be back time and time again! read more

Gators is the type of establishment where fun memories are made. Yes, it's a typical dive bar, but what makes this place stand out is the people that work there. Among my favorites are: Nick, Lindsay and Kelsey and Kristi. Kelsey especially is amazing and we ask for her when we come in to be our server.  My group of friends and I come every Tuesday for Taco Tuesday. The tacos are the real street tacos, not the boring American ones. Kelsey has our taco orders memorized and knows us by name. Most of the time she has our drinks started as soon as we walk in. She is always super attentive and funny and keeps us coming back. Lindsay always makes sure any issues are resolved quickly and is another one of our favorites to order from. The whole staff is super dog friendly, even with my 100 lb mastiff that comes with me in the summer.  Gators has been remolding and changing the interior to become more of a family establishment but I hope they keep their amazing staff as is. It's really the employees that make the difference. read more

Kind of a disappointing experience. Use to come here a couple of times a month years ago and always had a decent time. Thought it would be the same experience and now I just don't think I'll be coming back at all. Came here after a few drinks at Mixers and my friends and I did not have a good time here. The food is not fresh. It won't taste good unless you are drunk. Our waitress messed our drink order 2 times and just decided to go with it. They have live karaoke if you request for it. This is not the place for talking. You cannot hear when others are talking unless they are yelling. We could hear each other at all and just decided to leave. read more

What the heck has happened gators?! Our favorite people are gone and the new people are ridiculous! They're slow and add nothing to the atmosphere... also, it would be nice if they could at least mix drinks. We were there last week and waited forever for our bill and that's because the bar had been abandoned by the staff, a full 10 minutes went by where we saw nobody! We want our awesome neighborhood hangout back, the place you could rely on! read more

Much better places to spend your money. You will have to chase down service, and the management is not a friend of the guest

I recently stopped at gator's with 3 other people. We waited for 10 minutes and not once during the 10 minutes did we see a waiter/waitress. While looking around I noticed that the tables were not wiped clean and the floors were filthy. There were only maybe 15 other people there; all from the same party. The waitress swooped by us and totally ignored us. The place had a bad fish/oily smell. I got up and left. The other 3 people that I was with came out about 10 minutes later. I guess the waitress was rude and arguementative because they wanted to order off the menu and not just drinks. I would not go back just because it was so filthy and smelled bad. read more

Gator's has a great patio, food and local bar atmosphere. The true star is Kelsey. She is always so welcoming, professional, and efficient while she runs the front of house by herself. She will remember you after your first visit. The rest of the staff is amazing but Kelsey deserves an extra shout out for remembering me and my husband from a month ago. read more

Yep.. it's sort of your neighborhood dive bar but the drinks are strong and bartenders remember you after a few visits. Also one of the few places in the freaking state that has an electronic dart board.. we come in once or twice a week to throw darts and have an occasional BLT and tots. Quite a few regulars, I guess you could call it Tigard's version of "Cheers" :o) read more

WHAT A JOKE..I had been coming to this bar FOR YEARS..I have seen a few people come and go as far as employees. The OWNER has never really talked to me. Their customer service is NOT good. AND sometimes a bit obver the top, got reall tired of listening to the bartenders singing and dancing while they should be helping customers or cleaning. I will NEVER go back to this bar again. Oh and the owner? He is a real CHARMER read more

Typical passable bar food, average service, slightly better than average beer selection. This bar does, however, make an effort to host plenty of activities - everything from karaoke to bar trivia with different drink specials each night. I especially enjoy $2 beer Thursdays from 7pm on. And, I tend to slightly favor any bar that carries Anchor Steam on tap since it can be rather hard to find. I wouldn't expect to have the time of your life here but you also probably won't hating the place. Enjoy a laugh at the menu's "Gator Balls". read more

Awesome happy hours. (seriously, $2 micro brew on thursday night is the cheapest you'll find anywhere in the PDX area) Deb, the bartender is a hoot and it's pretty well lit for a dive bar. The food here is kinda blah ( a lot of fried stuff. The fries suck IMO) The atmosphere is pretty nonchalent and the Karaoke nights are fun. Cheap without the pretense is what i'd like to call it. My suggestion is to come here AFTER a good meal for drinks (around 10Pm so you can take advantage of the daily happy hour prices) read more

As a sports bar, you can do better. The seating is odd, primarily lodge-style benches with a ring of TVs around a very large room, so you'll have to select carefully to get a good view of your game. The fare is decent, but unspectacular. Honestly, restaurant nachos should have melted cheddar. This is not a movie theater, stadium, or Wisconsin. No cheese sauce, please. Club sandwich and burger like just about anyone else's. Service needs to put on their "football hat" and demonstrate some patience with the game-watching patrons and their expected 3-hour stay and pace of ordering. read more

Fun sports bar. $3 breakfast everyday is good, filling, and obviously affordable. Drink prices are reasonable.

The Fish and Chips were excellent and the Hawaiian Burger was great. I watched them taking the smoked roasted pork out of the smoker, next time! read more

My sister and I came in here just to kill time, but ended up having a great time. Kimmy, the bartender/server was amazing. She constantly came over to make sure we had everything we needed and was incredibly friendly. Also, the food was good which is a bonus. read more

Decent breakfast for a great price. Open at 7 which is great for early morning sports!

Wonderful sports bar off of Hwy 99. You can't really go wrong with any food you order and the service is great. Two pool tables - always in great shape and only 50 cents a game. Avoid on Wednesday nights if you want to play pool though, that's league night and they usually take over the tables from 5:30 to 11:00. Breakfast specials, cheap burgers on Tuesdays, or Widmer Wednesdays ($3 pints) - Go get you some. read more

Fun pub atmosphere with pool tables, plenty of seating and tvs everywhere. I didn't enjoy the fish and chips Friday night. Very heavily breaded and soaked in grease. The fries, beer and service were great. read more

Just had the best meal and service at Gator's. Restaurant has been completely remodeled since we were here last- love the new design - feels clean and open! Burgers and fries were incredible. House wine really good! Loved everything and will be back soon! read more

Super laid back and a pretty damn good breakfast for $3 before 9am. Bartenders are nice and the customers are friendly even tho you can tell it is very much a "regulars" kinda place. read more

Thanks to kelsey at gators she is the best server she is really nice hope to have her serve me again

Termigator!!!!!!!!! So darn good. Big fat juicy burger with fresh cut fries. Yes! We will be regulars

I don't understand why there are bad reviews here as my husband and I have always had the best service. The food is very good. Hubby loves their choices of hamburgers. We love their mozzarella sticks. Debbie, one of the bartenders, is super nice and friendly. She has the most beautiful voice and we always enjoy it if the bar is slow enough to allow her to see a song on karaoke. The place has grown and changed a bit since I first met my now-husband there way back in 2002. It still is our favorite date night hangout. read more

I could care less about what it looks like inside. I come for the cheeseburgers. There is only one other place that has amazing burgers that I love. Their meat is fresh, jucy and full of flavor. The hamburgers are saucey just the way I like it. On top of that, the price is right. 2nd time here I plan to try them all read more

Seated ourselves. There were customers who knew each other and the help calling out to each other. The music was really loud. The cash box was actually counted right behind us at the door. We waited for 15 minutes for a menu or something and then left, walking right next to one of the waitresses, who didn't even notice or try to apologize and help us. Went next door to Banning Restaurant for a fabulous dinner. read more

I went here in the middle of the day in the middle of the week and the food was great at a reasonable price and service was fast because there were only about 8 people there. The jukebox was horribly loud which could be seen 2 ways...1) your conversation is totally private because even the person across the table can't hear you or 2) the music makes you forget about the surroundings. Except for the lack of dancers and a pole, it reminded me a lot of a gentleman's club. read more

I had fun at Gator's, singing and playing lottery poker with my step father. The salad I had was good and I will come back.

I love the servers at gators especially Kelsey! I always hope she is working when I go there. Food is mostly good. Some weeks are better than others. read more

This place is understated but has awesome food. I mean it is really impressive!

Call for latest karaoke information. We had almost the exact same experience as reviewer Evelyn S. and Mike C. I have been assured that they served full menu until close. So me and my DH came in at 12 midnight we were informed by the pub staff (no table service at that time) that we needed to order right away because the kitchen was closing. We had to go to the bar to place our order. They were very rude and my husband felt like he was asking for the moon and all he wanted was a couple of beers and a menu. He felt like he was going to get jumped by the people sitting at the bar. When we ordered we ordered nachos with no meat veggies only and who ever was cooking that night took it so literally that they put canned MIXED vegetables on top of the nachos. A few other of the menu items came out the same way. I think it got lost in the translation. We also phoned before we came and were assured Karaoke was going on. It was not. the KJ told us that the Karaoke was closed for the night because some singer was screaming into the mic and so since one person ruined it for all of the patrons. She was afraid to start it up again because she didn't want to have to tell the screaming guy that he could no longer participate. Someone needs to learn more KJ skills!?! She also lost the mic and spent 20 minutes looking for it. *nice* I have been to gator's several times. They are in my hood. When we first went in 08 they were on top of their game. They had the best nachos in town. Now it seem like they are going down hill. Rude waitstaff, Karaoke is a joke and an afterthought. The pub seems very cliquy. I will prob try it again in a few months. Hope they fix their issues. read more

super busy on nfl sundays but great attentive staff and all the games at once unlike the place across the street that claims to be a sports bar lol read more

I've been to Gator's a few times...breakfast is always tasty, though it's pretty much standard fare. Their Superbowl party last year was so much fun! They had dollar shots, door prizes, and lots of discounted apps. Looking forward to going again soon! read more

I bought a sharing spree deal for this restaurant!! Never had heard of this place but last night my husband and I went to the Pub!! The food selection was amazing, they had a big variety of salads, hamburgers and sandwiches. We did not even look at the dinner portion of the menu...who knows how much more they had!! We ate the hamburgers and they were great!! The waitress was really friendly and helpful. They have an area to eat outside when the weather gets warm!! Great Place!! read more

Having lived in Tigard for about 2 years now, this has been probably the best bar I can find in the area so far. The $5 dollar burgers on Tuesday are unbeatable, I definitely recommend the Hawaiian Burger. The Gator Balls are great too, much better than the name makes them out to be! ;) Beer selection isn't bad too if micro brews are your thing. My only complaint is how frequently it seems like they have karaoke there, sometimes blaring loud amateur singing can kill even a good burger and beer, but hey it's not my thing. read more

I am so disappointed with the service I received on Thursday, October 4, 2018! I brought my girlfriend to Gators for lunch. The waitress, Kim, who took our order was rude as hell! First off, she did not greet us with her name, (had to ask her her name ) when she said it, she she didn't sate it very nice. We waited 30 minutes for her to come take our order. After such a long wait we decided we would have a drink before our meal came. When I waved her over to order a drink, she actually slumped! Dragging her feet in our direction, I could see her roll her eyes at another patron. She made us feel like we were a nuisance to her! She got our burgers wrong, then placed mine in front of my girlfriend and hers in front of me. We decided to let it be because she was already annoyed. By the time we finished, her shift was over. She was sitting at the bar drinking, getting loud and complaining to anyone within earshot about the cooks, how bad the food was and she was yelling about how nasty the fries at gators were. Smart. Saturday I went in, planning to stay and meet with some friends who go there all the time. I noticed she was there, and that I wasn't the only one who wasn't thrilled. Not sure if she was working or not but shes just unwelcoming and snotty. She was walking around with a blue cup and drinking out of it. I'm wondering if there may be alcohol in it? Maybe she's drunk on the job. If that is not her excuse, for being a rude drunk, then I guess she is just a BITCH! If you want bad service and a waitress that doesn't care about anything but the drink she'll have at the end of her shift, then Gators is the place for you! Otherwise go to Bounty Hunter. I've always had good service there, and I plan to stay there. After reading other reviews, I can see that I am not the only one with this issue. read more
