Nice roadside biker bar on the water that really hops on nights when they have bands or karaoke. We chose an off early evening dining experience for today's meal.
Love to eat outside. Great service.
Nice size burgers(1/2 lb)could be a better quality of meat. Fries very good. Waitress Brittany was very good also.
The food was good. Needed more help. She did a great job by herself.
Love eating outside. Very good band playing. As always great food and pleasant servers.

The service was fast and friendly and the location is excellent. The frog legs were delicious.

Food was delicious! (Gator bites, ahi tuna salad, bacon habanero burger, and chicken strips for the kids). I enjoyed sitting screened in by the water. Kid-friendly relaxed feel. We saw variety of pretty birds and a gator in the water!
The waitress was very nice and knowledgeable. The atmosphere for lunch on the water was very nice, however, we found out the dock space is very limited to frequent this restaurant. The 1 o'clock band had canceled which was one of the reasons we stopped there. We had been there once before and the food was superb so we expected the same. Not the same! The fish dip is no longer homemade and the pita chips were soggy from oil like the fryer was not hot enough. The nachos had way too many chips with not nearly enough topping. We also prefer that the cheese is melted over them. Onion rings tasted good except they were also greasy. It will be awhile before we try this spot again even though it is fairly close to home.

Not enough chairs---many broken---need more seating

Waitress doesn’t use “Thank you”, nor “You’re Welcome.” Attitude problem. We like the food and going there by boat. Hopefully, making the customer feel welcome will become a priority.

The food was good but the accommodations were terrible. We ate there after dark and the mosquitoes ate us. They have an indoor area but did not close it until mosquitoes were out and about. Then the big screen door was often left open inviting more of the pests.
Great food, great service, great music!! Florida funky atmosphere. Love it!
This place is a hidden gem! Great burgers, great atmosphere ... we enjoy coming here!

Food was excellent. Music playing was not enjoyable. I thought they might play Christmas music, what they played not my type of dinning music.
This is not fine dining. It's a local bar-restaurant on a small river with a very rustic atmosphere. Good food with good prices.
Great waitress, nice outdoor seating area, burgers were excellent and wings are awesome too.
The service was great and the food was good. The restaurant is located on a relaxing freshwater bay.
If you are looking for fine dining, this isn't it, but if you like great food in a "funky" place this is it. The wings are the best in the area and the staff do a great job making you feel welcome.
Great fish and chips and burger cooked just right. Server was outstanding as she always is.
Good food, great band.,good waitress, fair prices, will be back
The food was delicious and the place has a nice water view.
Dining is outside or in screened area. Food is always excellent. We love the auce fish fry! The wings are great and so are the burgers! Onion rings are big with sweet batter! Yum! We went with the coupon, but we go back for the great food! They have live music on the weekends too.
Service was ok kitchen very slow took an hour for food to come
Very busy, only 2 waitresses working and they also tended bar. Band was good, food very good but service very slow.
Fun place great outdoor seating,great by boat or motorcycle
I had a gator po-boy which was good. My wife had the steak sub that was really delicious.
best wing ever
Service, Shannon is awesome, promptness was excellent!!
We are always on a quest for great burgers and Gator Bay is definitely one of the best! We will return again and again for sure! The music was an extra treat!!
Love to eat the Gator bites, Frog legs and Grouper fingers.
Very nice establishment. Able to be outside.
Outdoor seating, good service, reasonable prices and varied menu.
Great service
Great location on the water. Only problem was the mosquitoes because the screened in porch was not completely contained.
a bit rustic. seating was all open to outside but some screened. Table was sticky.
Nice casual atmosphere dining on the dock beside the lake.
Decent food, new server wasn't efficient, but pleasant, lots of bugs out on the deck as to be expected.
Good music, quality food and reasonable prices.
Good food and service !
The Music was too loud- we like to sit & chat with our friends and we could not even hear each other.
best burger in the county
Outdoor environment, great food and great service. Reasonable prices.
Karaoke was fun. Friendly atmosphere
This is a casual outdoor bar & grill. Nothing fancy but very good food. They had karaoke which was fun to listen to and our server was very friendly.
Not enough chairs outside
I love the outdoor fire and the homely feel to it.
We ate outside and smoking is allowed. We could have moved inside, but it was nice outside.
Food was outstanding. Love to eat outside.our server is always excellent.
Nice to eat outdoors. Plastic forks- heated frozen food---worth what we paid but no more.
Marginal taste. Long time from order to food delivery.n. Karaoke was too loud. A good place for locals
Waitress very attenative, good service.
Great burgers
nice local place on the water
Entertainment was good (Black Sheep)
Great service, great food and eat outside
Food was great. Staff very helpful and acomadating.
The place was a run down biker bar.
Very nice outside dining experience on the water with entertainment
Nice dining outside with a nice breeze. Excellent waitress.
The food was very good. It was a little more out of the way than we expected.
The burgers were delicious!
Groendly
it was differ ,gator food and all the southern stuff ,the girl waiting on us was nice and did a good job,the reason we wouldn't go back was it was to far on the back roads at night,,but i was glad we went to see other parts of florida,,taking us off the beaten route
It's a biker bar. The food was very ordinary and the ambiance was...a biker bar!
they keep changing prices and what you can use your voucher on
Outdoor seating, nice atmosphere
should have more grilled or broiled
Waitress very nice and others dinning friendly.
We sat in the screened in area. The weather was perfect, and breezes and fans kept us cool. The waitress was very good and the food was exceptional. We had the Onion Ring appetizer that was served with their special sauce. I had perfectly cooked grilled shrimp, and with an exceptional coleslaw and crunchy fries. My husband had the chicken finger basket with wing sauce. We will definitely visit again with or without a restaurant.com certificate.
A very great burger an fries-- it is a good deal even without the coupon but the coupon is always appreciated and allows us to go more times.
they fixed it up since we were there last. looks nice. wish some of our bikers friends where there.
Quality of the food was excellent. We had a wide variety of meals/food and everyone was completely satisfied.Being in Fl it would be nice to have an a/c room for seating.
The food was very good, we ordered the blue cheese hamburger, onion rings and chicken wings. The atmosphere is casual and friendly. The service was excellent. We will definitely go back!
Yummy onion rings with their specialty sauce, and perfect BLT's. Perfect lunch with a few drafts! The "real Florida" environment is so laid back and enjoyable.
I called my order in and it was ready when I arrived.
It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed being able to sit outside for our meal. The food was very good. The service was great and it was an extremely friendly atmosphere.
SAD TO SAY THE SEAFOOD SANDWICHES LEFT MUCH TO BE DESIRED. VERY ORDINARY FOOD AT TOO HIGH PRICES.
It is sort of a biker bar, but we had read the reviews and it was ok. Very rustic, outdoor picnic tables and an indoor area with tables/chairs and a TV. Good waitress, food was pretty good,husbands hamburger was a bit better than the fish nugget dinner which was a bit crispy.
Service qas friendly and promot
The service was slower than anticipated.
Very casual dining. Has outside bar and fireplace. Music Saturday and Sunday. Gator nuggets were very tender.
The service was slow
The service was a little slow
Great atmosphere, cold, but they tried to have space heaters around, nice music, nice people, tasty food, great menu.
Slow service, ok food. Nothing special.
Was a different place for us. Local customers.
The food was excellent, the people were very nice and friendly, the view was great.
Food was good. Overall area and restaurant could use improving. Very rustic. Staff friendly. Food slow in coming out. Will try again when the weather is a bit cooler.
Karaoke night and the singers were good!
We got there after the kitchen closed. The watress was exceptionally pleasant and helpful and provided what she could. From the road, you will say "NO Way!" will I stop for food or a drink. I am glad we did. THe entire place is filled with friendly characters. It is a local scene, visited by good hearted locals.
Older marina / restaurant Not sure if you can boat up to their dock due to low water level.
Would have rated as excellent but do not like plastic mugs but understand it due to being outside.
Back Bay type bar with mostly sandwich type menu
The food was excellent. The atmosphere is very laid back; on the lake with a wonderful singer! The theme is like a biker bar...but, the quality is much more than that! Our server was especially friendly as well. :)
Atmosphere was great. Very relaxed!
