Came here with the visiting family. We kind of ordered pretty much the same foods (creatures of…read morehabit? / family taste buds?) - their BLT and fish sandwich. I had the BLT and it was piled high, albeit they were extremely thin slices (I did not know it could be done, sliced so thin, to be honest), but the flavors were there and I enjoyed it very much. I had the in-house potato chips, which were barely okay. Next time I will upgrade to the onion rings, like my wife did, which were very good. Her fish sandwich consisted of a singular solid filet which was amazing. She liked it very much. The beer we consumed was ice cold and came out in seriously frosted mugs. Two thumbs up there! The prices were excellent, as far as I am concerned.

I didn't have to wait long for a table, the server was prompt and polite and the food came out hot and ready. During my second lunch visit, (during the same week), I had to wait a while to be seated. It appeared that the hostess was personally busy visiting a friend at a table. It took a bit of time for the server to see me, (only because she had no idea someone else sat me in her area). I was ready to place my complete order but my food came out slower than the previous day. Although my burger was hot, my fries were cold. My server was good, but I didn't have much more positive points than that. Maybe, if the owner who was also visiting that same table, stopped by... my opinion may have changed. This was a swing and a miss today! On a positive note, you're at .500 for the week.

I couldn't eat it all and took it home for lunch the next day. I also had two margaritas and boy does the bartender know how to make them. I think her name was Emma, but not 100%. We went to watch the Stanley cup game and while it wasn't on a tv when we got there, but after asking, they got it on for us.

The true experience can be had by sitting on the covered back porch and overlooking the water. The food was very tasty and the service fantastic.

We will return.

First visit today and probably our last based upon this experience. This is sad as we were looking…read moreforward to this experience. This is a casual restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating and it is seat yourself. We picked an open table outside and sat there for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us. They then sent the server assigned to our table (Samantha). It was a quick smile-free greeting and she took our drink orders, then when serving our drinks she took our food order. After serving our food, she never stopped by our table again, although she stopped by her other tables around us several times. We had to stop her to ask for a box and our check.....she never offered drink refills even. We ordered a single cheeseburger with bacon and a side of onion rings ($14.74), a Fish Filet with no side ($14.50) and an order of Tater Kegs ($11.50). The cheeseburger with bacon looked great but didn't live up to the appearance. It was kind of tasteless....even the bacon was disappointing. The onion rings were crisp and pretty perfect. Fish Filet was large and tasty although we really would have liked more tartar sauce. The Tater kegs were also large and tasty. It was nice sitting outside with view of the lake and boat activity. This restaurant has potential to be much better....slow, minimum and cold service really takes a restaurant experience down. I hate that I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Giving 2 stars because the service was good…read more.. It's been probably 10 years since I last went to Gators, which wasn't this location but I remember it being pretty good. I can't say the same for the food experience today. The mozzarella sticks tasted very plain and the marinara tasted like it was from one of those microwave frozen marinaras. It was just disgusting. I ordered the wings which the flavor was nice, but was semi-disappointed because I got 6 drums and 2 flats. Flats are better, but I just would assume I'd get at least 4 and 4. The fries were okay, not really very hot though. My wife got the chicken Philly with onion petals. She said the chicken Philly was okay and would probably get it again, but the onion petals were terrible. She said while they had a nice seasoning on the outside, more than half of them were still raw and crunchy (not from the batter), and luke warm to cold. The hostess was very friendly and loved our baby. The server, Benji, was great. He checked on us and refilled us without asking. He was friendly, but he'd make more at a place with higher quality food.

Started off with the fried pickles and ranch--very addictive and a great way to begin the meal…read more I had the BLT sandwich. Overall, it was good, but I wasn't a fan of the gator sauce. I switched to mayonnaise, which made it much better for me. The fried pickles on the sandwich were a little unusual, but not bad. I had tater tots on the side, and they were solid. My wife ordered the mini burgers with fries--both were pretty good. For dessert, we tried the apple tart (dumpling) with vanilla ice cream and caramel. It was a nice finish to the meal and enjoyable overall. Brianna was our waitress and did an excellent job. She checked on us regularly and provided very good service throughout.

This is my bar and there's a very special reason for this review. This bar has been in existence…read moreunder the Tap Room name since 2009 and it's always been a smoking bar. I'm a non-smoker but I tolerated it because I enjoyed the people and the other aspects of the atmosphere. After 15 years, as of January 1st, the Tap Room is now NON-SMOKING! My lungs are very happy! Management is taking steps to remove as much of the odor as they can. Other than this big news, this is your typical dive bar- * Cheap drinks * TouchTunes Jukebox * Pool tables and dart boards * Occasional live entertainment * No food other than packaged snacks Pro Tip- They have a back entrance with easy parking. It's not fancy but it's used more than the front door! Note that the parking lot is a disaster and needs to be repaved. Drive in slowly! Atmosphere- Like many dive bars, the crowd varies from day to night. The crowd is older and more sedate during the day and younger and a bit rowdier at night. The TouchTunes jukebox is extremely popular here with many folks using the app on their phones. Genres played are mostly Classic Rock and Country with a little Pop occasionally thrown in. The bar is very large and is a bit unusual as there are both low and high chairs in different sections. Note that many of the low chairs desperately need to be replaced so choose carefully where you sit your thirsty ass down! Adult Libations- The big joke is the Tap Room has no taps! That's right, no drafts here but plenty of mostly domestic bottles and a full liquor bar. Bartenders- This place has 5 bartenders plus an excellent manager that often tends bar. The bartender's range in age from 30s to 70s. They are generally decent with some more conversational than others. Now that's NON-SMOKING, I'd love to give it 5 stars but the parking lot and the collection of crappy chairs hold me at 4!

Happy Hour: just for some drinks and unfortunately not explained by the waitress and not indicated on the menu we got We had a watermelon smash (12 dollar) and a harborside margrita (13 dollar) which were very good. We ordered the gator bites (18,50 dollar) ... hugh portion. The drunken mussels (16.50 dollar) were delicious but too fast too cold We ended with a pineapple rum cake (13.50 dollar - for me too sweet) and a NY cheesecake (10.50 dollar) which was delicious. Total of the bill: 116.63 dollar. We decided NOT to tip, due to the fact we got a surcharge fee because we paid with a credit card ‍ In all these years, we NEVER had this Sorry guys, it's that or a tip. In spite of the beautiful view on the lake, we will not come back.
