Reviews for Gator's Grill & Spirits in Burlington, IA
Pretty good food. My daughter who?s 9 cleared her plate?rare thing. The alligator (Allie) in the tank up front was also one of... her things. My son who?s 15 was disappointed they didn?t actually serve alligator ???? food took awhile to come out but wasworth the wait. Will return. Read more
We ordered lunch for a meeting. Staff were very accommodating. Food was correct and was good. Everyone got what they ordered.... The food and service were a winner. When I arrived I was greeted w a smile and my order was ready on time. We recommend Gatorsfor business lunch service!!!@@ Read more
Had the shrimp dinner, prime rib and mussels. All were good. Nice place. Good service.
"The best fries I've ever had" was the consensus at our table of 5 after trying both their regular & sweet potato fries. And... we've tasted A LOT of fries. Every single thing we ordered was flavorful, nicely seasoned, and simply amazing. I had the salmon(not overcooked, yay!), and there was a fried pork sandwich, steak, burger, Alfredo & appetizers on our order. Heard this is mom& pop type restaurant and you can tell cause there's lots of love in the kitchen. Read more
We stopped by for a quick appetizer the other day and we settled on spinach artichoke dip. It was warm and gooey and came with... toast and chips. The waiter was attentive and friendly! We told him we were on a time crunch and he took really good care ofus. Read more
Review Date: July 11th, 2016 Fear not, there are no gator spirits here. On a day trip to Catfish Bend Casino, a friend and I... needed food before we lost (or won) a few bucks. We usually open Yelp and play a game where we pick a place with good reviewsand one that sounds interesting. On this particular trip, we both wanted burgers and after much debating, we ended up pickingGators. Was it a good choice? Yes and no. It was early in the week and we arrived at the tail end of the lunch rush, so itwasn?t too crowded but not totally empty. With that in mind, we were seated promptly and received great customer service with itbeing in that post-lunch hour. I believe we both ordered bacon cheese burgers, as that is our weakness and our usual go-to atnew places. You can never go wrong with bacon. :3 And this burger was no exception. It was good. Not entirely fantastic orgreat, but it was good and filled our bellies. The fries were also good. Nothing out-of-this-world, but good enough tocompliment the burger. I just remember the meat of the burger could?ve used a bit of flavoring. The decor of the place was funand unique. There was some gator-themed things throughout the place. If I remember right, there was also a lobster/fish tanksomewhere in there. I believe it was kind of dark and murky, so the photo I took of it years ago came out terrible, so I deletedit. So, if you need a place to get some decent food and to visit a cool themed place, Gator?s won?t steer you wrong. Honestly,it might be the best place to eat since Burlington (in all my traveling/exploring) doesn?t have much to do. If you know of anysecret fun things to do there, please let me know. Read more
Good tasting French dip wrap and prime rib...only downside was ICK Pepsi and that after a long day traveling the hostess kept... wanting to seat us in the loud lounge versus the dining room. We offered graciously to either leave or eat real fast thenleave. It was 8pm and they close at 10pm, so that was a bit of a turn off. Our waitress was friendly and expedient. Read more
They had a large menu of food to choose from and it really ran the gambit of what you could pick from. I had a catfish sandwich... with a huge filet and while nothing fancy it was pretty darn good. Our waiter did mention that their steaks are particularlygood and cut on site although I didn't have one. Don't be confused there is NO gators on the menu. Read more
