Blue Gator Tiki Bar & Restaurant

Nice wait staff and atmosphere. The food was very good quality and priced in the $10-20 range per entree. I think you will find you receive a fair value here. Good selection of beers. Live music is a nice touch. Great sunsets and view of the Withalacoochee river. The only negatives are that it's very busy and the parking lot is hilly, confusing, and cramped. The building/deck layout is puzzling until you realize the structures are a series of additions done over time. It's forgivable though and gives the restaurant character. These minor draw backs can easily be over looked because of the quality food and positive atmosphere.

Normally we have a good experience, however today was atrocious. It was a 1 1/2 hour wait for basic food (nothing special). The poor waitress was trying her best, but her hands were tied with the cook staff. After talking with several of the wait staff, the kitchen has become at least an hour wait for almost everything. The flies were so horrible they covered everything. When we talked to the manager, she said they were busy and there were a lot of orders (no apology). However, we've seen it much busier, and take half the time. I took my mom there today for mother's day, and the manager didn't even acknowledge it or offer to even comp a beverage. My husband's food came out cold and had to be sent back for another long wait. The band was so loud we couldn't talk at our table. We won't be back.
