Nav-A-Gator Bar & Grill - Bar & grill in Arcadia - 9700 SW Riverview Cir, USA

This place never disappoints, you just can’t be sad here. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is fun and family friendly. I’ve been going to this place with my family for 20 years. It’s been through lots of changes but we’ve loved every single visit just the same. The fish and chips were delicious and the fish dip is my favorite I’ve ever had, the chips you can tell are homemade! If you want a true Floridian style atmosphere and great seafood, this is your place! Also, my favorite was how dog friendly they are, your dog needs to be on a leash of course, and they will even bring out a water bowl if you’d like!

Delicious food (I had burger) and great genuine local vibe. Excellent friendly service. Would love to go back when joint is rockin’ with live music. I was there for lunch. Definitely go.

Glad to see this place re opened. Boaters beware... broken submerged pilings not marked in front of marina office. Thanks for the bent prop an broken transducer! Meal was good.

When my husband and I first moved to the area 3 years ago this place quickly became our favorite spot. The food is great, the atmosphere is great and they have live music regularly. We came the Friday before Ian decimated the place and patiently waited for them to reopen. It finally opened last month and we waited until we had quests in town for the holiday to go again. It did not disappoint. The atmosphere isn’t quite the same but it’s still great, food was AMAZING as always (highly recommend the crab grilled cheese and the surf and turf burger) but unfortunately there was no live music this time. The bathrooms are significantly improved since the renovation so that’s a huge bonus, lol. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If you’ve never been or haven’t been since they reopened, GO NOW!!!

Very busy. The reception did a great job. Waitress was overworked and got our bills wrong 2 times. We waited just over an hour to sit at 2 different tables of 4 with another table in between. We sat inside with noise level over the top. Staff preparing drinks dropping empty beer bottles in garbage one at a time slamming them in making totally unnecessary noise. Crab cakes were ok but way overpriced. Fish and chips, well almost impossible to cut. We’ve been here several times before with average to good food and service. We won’t go back ever. All 8 of us.

12/16/23 They have done a wonderful job with the remodel. It is clean and fresh. I miss the dollar bills and the snake. Bar area is much bigger since their recovery. Food was good. But menu is more limited. We no longer saw heart of palm on the menu. Waitress was fantastic. The unsweetened iced tea tasted like dirty swamp water. What does dirty swamp water taste like you ask. Taste their tea and you will know! I had conch fritter which were good but the conch was tough. I also had the Shrimp po boy which was GREAT!

The best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. Nice atmosphere and great service!

It was packed, with Drop Dead Dangerous as the night's entertainment. DDD was great, as usual. Most impressed by the amazing service, all things considered. Food was great, drinks were great. Memorable night.
