Dori RoseJune 20, 2015I had the fish and chips that was super Dave had the cheeseburger with bacon which is left on believable and for an appetizer we had the gator tail and it is the best I have ever had
Make sure you ask for Matty as your server, quite possibly the best one you'll ever have! Just a great experience here at Gator Joes. Wednesday all you can eat wings are the best btw!
Gator bites are great. No longer on the menu, but they'll still make for you, is bang bang shrimp (have them batter cook the shrimp and get the bang bang sauce on the side!)
Julie TerrellJune 30, 2017Just about everything is good. I had the fried calamari, someone else had the gator. The other standard fare was also good
Awesome food! Great time sitting on the deck over the lake and playing in the sand. Very reasonably priced. Definitely will be back!!- Danielle :JacobsFebruary 3, 2012Frog legs are perfectly breaded, not greasy or gamey. Gator tails the best and bloody Mary's are 3.50 a pop! Perfect place for sun, lunch and drinks!
They've added some new items to the menu for 2016 it looks like.
Judy Bernsdorf-ZieglerMarch 9, 2013I love the atmosphere and staff is great but left still hungry. Not normal for me.
Alison MorrisMarch 31, 2015Don't eat indoors if you want to have a conversation... Very loud (live music).
KaitlynJune 13, 2011Not worth the price you pay for the food. Also $5 per person to go on the beach is ridiculous.
