History
Gator’s is a family business. Brothers Paul and Tony Cipparone founded the chain with their friend John Foerst in May 1991. The first restaurant was in Jacksonville, Florida.
Right now, Florida has the monopoly on Gator’s, with all 27 locations in the central and eastern areas of the state.
Review
The restaurant is a sports bar at heart, so you can enjoy your food along with the big game at the bar or at an indoor or outdoor table.
Diners love the drink specials and the wide variety of pub food. There’s plenty of classic gameday grub, including a wide variety of wings and sauces.
If you’re feeling brave, definitely try the gator tail. In addition to being able to tell all your friends you’ve tried it, it’s pretty tasty, too!
The food here is made to order, so may take some time. In the meantime, enjoy the fantastic ambiance at this one of a kind Florida eatery.
