Gator's Dockside Melbourne - American restaurant in Melbourne - 4200 N Wickham Rd, USA

The egg rolls were nommy. The chicken taco salad was good. Just added cheese and sour cream. My husband says his Alfredo pasta was dry but he ate it no problem.. Looks like people complained before about too much oil. Now not enough 😆 The cherries are candied for some reason.. different.. but .. the statue outside is a crowd bringer.. I wish the patio wasn't smoking 🚬 Husband said the bathroom has a sewage issue covered with a hint of orange spice Staff is friendly Food was as good as they could make it Smoking on the patio really ruined my appetite 😞

This is a great place to relax! Great variety and beer and all the food we've had today has been really good. Highly recommend you give this place a shot. The staff is also very friendly and work hard to satisfy their clients.

Tasty food, good service, and laid back atmosphere. The menu has a variety of options. The Gator Taters were delicious, the homemade ranch brought the dish together. The Cajun Pasta was flavorful and spicy, but not too hot. All together great experience.

We arrived and were seated promptly. After about 10 mintes no one came to our table to greet us or take our drink order. Went back to the host to let him that folks that were seated after us already had been served their drinks. Finally the host himself took our drink orders. Long story short, we had to wait for our order to be taken, finally after about an hour, 3 out of 4 of our dinners were served. The fourth dinner never came out. We were going to the King Center for a show. Told the waitress we had to leave and to bring our checks. Told them to cancel the 4th dinner we never received. Manager never acknowledged that we weren't given all of our meals. Poor service all around! Never had a bad experience there until tonight. Can't say I will go back.

Nice clean restaurant and good food if you can get it. Placed a pickup order and headed to the restaurant, got text saying ready at 4:28pm, I arrived to pick it up at 4:30pm, at 4:54pm they finally brought the order out from the back. Said they had forgot to make one item which caused the delay. That means all the others items had been sitting for about 30 minutes. Yay for cold fried Oreos with melted ice cream! The food was still tasted good even though it was slightly warmer than room temperature when I got home. The only food I would not recommend is the Mahi Mahi sliders they were a small almost flavorless piece of mahi in a bun with piece of tomato and no sauce. Maybe if it was warm it would have been better. No napkins or utensils were provided in the to go bag. One of the sauces I requested was not included. Hopefully the restaurant improves.

The food was terrible, orders were incorrect as per what we exactly wished for. Waitress was not on the ball with keeping our drinks filled. She was kind and pretty and friendly, just not sure if she conveyed our order correctly. This is the second time I've eaten there, and unfortunately, both times were not up to speed. There won't be a third.

Gators gets 5 Stars because of the SERVICE. The food was cooked wrong, and the order was half right on delivery; and it was obvious that they were understaffed, back and front of the house. The waitress was gracious and the Manager made sure everything was made right. This establishment truly cares about their customer base and reputation in community. We will be coming back because of the Manager and waitstaff... Service is Top Notch.

We have always had a great experience here. The staff is friendly and we've never had much of a wait to be seated. The food has always been excellent. The fried gator tail is delicious and our go-to dinner plate. Tried the island pork chops tonight and they were fantastic. It can get a little noisy but it is a sports bar so it's expected. Overall a great place to eat and definitely recommended.
