We have recently gone a few times and have really enjoyed the food. The portions are pretty big - really worth it!!! We have leftovers every-time we leave. The first time we got the bayou shrimp pasta, gator bites & the supreme pizza rolls - all were great!!! This time we got the loaded bayou fries, blackened shrimp with baked potato & side salad. They have drinks and drink specials, a karaoke night, daily food specials (thursday catfish, Friday frito pie, etc.) as well as a late night happy hour! We will be back for sure - worth checking out! read more

Chicken was tough, when we cut through with a knife it it was dark brown like it had been cooked multiple times and thickened up ; cute environment read more

Gator Bar and Grill is a hidden gem in Galveston County. The food and drinks were amazing. My husband had the filet and I had redfish, the filet was cooked to perfection and flavorful. Oh, I can't leave out the cornbread, mouth watering! Happy hour is a bonus and the pizza egg rolls are a MUST try! In addition to tasty and quality food, customer service was exceptional, our waiter, Cory was very attentive and personable, he kept us laughing. The atmosphere was welcoming and all of the staff were very nice. I would definitely recommend Gator Grill, this was our 2nd time eating here and the food and customer service were consistent! read more

Wife and I went to dinner there this evening and really liked the flavor of the food. But I was taken aback when they told my wife that if she gave a 5-star review - before dinner - we would get a free desert. She did and they actually verified the review before the dinner order was placed on the table. I simply don't like the idea that we became advertisers instead of customers. Bottom line - The blackened chicken and mashed potatoes had great flavor and based on portion size would have been perfect .............. for lunch. read more

Me and my boyfriend go here ALL THE TIME. We bring our two dogs and the people here are very sweet about it! The food is always amazing and at this point they know what we want to order already. I've loved this place since the first time I went and 10/10 recommend for any date nights! The place is really beautiful and you can see the sunset from outside! read more

Great cocktails and food. Really pretty bar, tiled and lighting. Roasted veggies very fresh.

We came for supper after a day on the beach. The Later Gator drink was good!! The kids ordered chicken strips, Mac and cheese, and burgers and ate all of it. My husband had the crawfish tail po' boy and said it was good and was too much for him to finish - and he's a big guy!! I had the Bayou redfish and the flavor was excellent. The rice was a little undercooked but otherwise the food really was amazing as was the service. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Fun place to drink and have apps . Food wasn't the best in my opinion . But a nice typical Dickinson eatery. More of a large crowd get together type place . Fun atmosphere, if you like fried foods here's your place read more

The service was great. Friendly atmosphere. Great burgers and loaded fries. And don't forget the hummingbird cake! read more

Gator's Family Restaurant - Texas Burger - American Near Me - Dickinson, Texas

We chose this place since we needed a patio since we had our dog with us. Got off to a rough start when we ordered the Pickled Asparagus Fries appetizer... And the stalks were very tough and chewy... Very hard to eat. But the waitress (Kelsey - great service!) told the manager who came out and asked what the problem was with them, apologized and took them off of our bill. I also had the Baked Potato Soup (the cup size was big!) and it was good. And I was hesitant to order the Strawberry Walnut Salad at a place that calls itself a Bar and Grill, but it was a great salad with fresh, dark greens, ripe strawberries and avocado. My husband has the grilled shrimp and said it was good. Sorry I didn't get a picture. read more

We were in town shopping for school clothes and popped in here for a quick bite. It's very nicely decorated with the bar at the center of the space. There were several TV's in the restaurant and thankfully most of the TV's were tuned to the Astros game. Although the drink menu had lots of choices, I had a Dr. Pepper. I ate the BLT with the garlic parmesan fries. Both were delicious. read more

This place is amazing, inside and out! Drinks were fantastic. We had the pizza egg rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious! Light and crispy with a perfect marinara dipping sauce. You should check it out!! Oh yeah! Happy hour prices all day during the Olympics! read more

The first time we ordered from here it was take out and they left out somethings and we had to go back. The food was good this time but we ordered again and it was not as good. We will try again but if quality isn't good that's it for us. The fish had the coatings barely on it which I hate and my baked potato was overcooked and I hate that or maybe reheated from day before. read more

Made it into the newly opened establishment and my first impression was, well, impressed. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Didn't dine in, made a to-go order. Designated parking for curbside and to-go patrons which was good. No pictures of the food. It was inhaled the minute I got home. Blackened shrimp, salad, baked potato, Mac and cheese, grilled chicken sandwich and gator bites. I would order every item again. Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. I think they'll be around for quite some time. Plus it's about a mile from the house so watch out! read more

We were in town for an event so we stopped in for dinner. The shopping center vibe was pretty unassuming but I'll tell you, the food did not disappoint!! The redfish plate was divine! We went a month ago and I'm still thinking about it. Even the cornbread made me smile. And the service was great. Their signature alcoholic drink comes with a large gummy shark on the rim. My son wanted one of the sharks and the server was happy to oblige. Next time we are in town we will definitely eat here! read more

Not sure what to think about this place. I wouldn't stake my reputation on it. First bite into the asparagus fries was beyond tough to be cut by my incisors. Subsequent weren't as bad, so they should've just cut that spear shorter. The salmon was adequate. The broccoli was good but salty. The Yelp reviews made me try it when I was visiting 3 miles west. Nice local spot, but leave high expectations at home. read more

Nice place. Good drinks. Food was good. The Old Fashion was really good. I would go back.

Today I wasn't feeling well and after an exhaustive search and looking for the most convenience, I decided to give Gators Bar & Grill a try. In no aspect was I disappointed! Calling in, the phone was answered promptly & Michaela was extremely friendly and my FAVORITE part, repeated my order back to me. She gave me my total and an ETA while on the phone. I arrived and realized they had "curb side" I called and stated I was paying card & if it was easier to come in & they were busy I'd be happy to. Michaela was out in seconds! NOW, the good part I ordered the strawberry walnut salad, with grilled chicken. I'll admit upon hanging up I questioned if grilled over blackened was the right choice and worried if it would be seasoned enough. I'm so glad I did, it was perfect. I also 86ed the blue cheese & added cucumbers (I topped it with some feta at home & it was phenomenal). The honey vinaigrette it comes with compliments the salad itself perfectly. The service was great, the convenience was life saving and the food was perfect! Compliments all around, I look forward to coming back to dine-in with my husband soon! Sorry no photos, but imagine the salmon salad posted by the owner w/ chicken instead. It looks EXACTLY like the photo! read more

Great place, I'm glad it's close to Lago Mar. Traffic is terrible and it's awesome to have a good bar and restaurant nearby without going through construction. read more

It was our first time here, and we LOVED IT! From the service to the drinks to the food. Selena was our waitress and she made our experience amaaaazing! Definitely will be coming back. read more

This is probably the worst food I have ever tasted. I ordered the fried catfish with fries and subbed the corn. My aunt ordered the chicken strips off the lunch menu. The food was extremely horrible. It had no seasoning, and the quality was off. The guy who gave us service was really nice but, that is not enough to justify coming back. 0 STARs. The ambiance is great and calm but, the food is terrible. I wouldn't recommend. Especially if you season your food read more

Excellent service, Fantastic food. Clean relaxed environment. Fair prices. If you decide to eat here, you're going to tell your friends about it. It's that good. read more

Love love love this place!!! Everyone is so super friendly! Tiller and Lena always take the best care of me! Lena's Bloody Mary's are perfect on a Sunday morning and now they're serving Brunch staring at 10 am!! read more

Omg I absolutely LOVED this place. My server Tarah was amazing! Very attentive and went above and beyond for us tonight. She recommended the shrimp and it was so yummy! Highly recommend Gators if you're looking for good drinks and food, and ask for Tarah! read more

Shai was amazing at the bar tonight even though they had a HS reunion going at the same time.

I came up here the other day for lunch and my server was Tarah. I had ordered a beverage and I didn't see a bartender on-site, she was the one who made it and it was really good! I recommend the blood orange margarita when she's working! The food was really good and flavorful, I would come back for the food and drinks but I will also come back for the service! You can tell they truly care about their customers who come in the door, I will ask for Tarah every time I come. read more

It seems to be frozen food bought in bulk for restaurant prices. That's what you're getting here. I had high hopes but it just really disappointed me. Burgers are absolutely off putting. Sorry, I really wanted to like this but... It'll probably last as long as Hollywood Video did next door, but not as long as Pizza Inn. So maybe you guys have like 10 years? read more

Let me start by saying.. the waitstaff is extremely friendly and always ensured you had anything you needed. We had the Gator flight which was 4 different mini drinks. All were tasty. My favorite was the blood orange margarita. We had the boiled shrimp, potatoes and corn which was all good. Could use a bit more flavor for the shrimp but good. The potatoes were $2.95 for 2 small potatoes which is a bit pricey, compared to other places and probably should have been included with the 1lb boiled shrimp as many other places have. For $8.95 the shrimp were well priced. The spinach and artichoke dip was ok. Don't get the garlic Parmesan fries as they had an odd flavor. Ranch was tasty. Butter cake with peaches and cream was delish. Don't make the mistake of ordering alcohol to go. For $11.95 you will only get about 3-4 oz of alcohol. Definitely laughable and not like the other restaurants who offer that service to go. All in all.. we probably won't be back. For $70 you can get more for your $. read more

My go to place. When you are in the mood for great food and a cool, friendly atmosphere, go to Gator's. The Cowboy Burger, the chicken salad, the Chicken Sandwich are all delicious. The Bayou Pasta is very good. You may need a to-go box if you order it. Oh, and you might want to try the Beer Cheese and Chicken Fries!! Enjoy! read more

Good food. Friendly service. Awesome new menu choices. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more.

Very tasty and great atmosphere! We tried the wings, burgers and blackened chicken and all were fantastic! Will defiantly be back!!!

Great environment to relax and have a nice cold beer ! Great happy hour and even a reverse happy hour menu! Very friendly and attentive staff ! Food is amazing quality and worth a visit ! read more

Whatever price disappointing food horrible management don't bother it'll be gone before you know it

Very good service and food. Highly recommended. BLT was very good and cold beer even better

Got order wrong more than once and gave up on my entree. Kids meal had fries not fully cooked. The blackened shrimp is an insult to all things gulf coast. The one star they earned was for a good mixed drink for wifey, they of course got my drink wrong too. So sad read more
