Gator’s Grille formerly JD’s Pub

Great food choices and great prices and great atmosphere for family and friends I would recommend this place to anyone in or out of the area

Decent food and service. Nice happy hour selection. Would be better if happy hour was applied in the restaurant section as well so those dining with kids could enjoy. White pizza is very good. Would recommend for a casual dinner.

Great food. Love the new menu.

Decent food. Great service. The philly cheese steak is dry and the hot salad does not come with meat. Adding salmon is $ 4!!!
The French onion soup was really good.
Atmosphere is a sports bar.
We went at 4 on a Saturday evening and it wasn’t crowded at all it was just something convenient and close. I probably wouldn’t return.

I go here a lot because it’s close and this place is definitely going down hill. The food is good but the service is really bad and extremely unattentive. It’s almost worse when it’s less crowded because the waitstaff are generally content to stand in the corner and chit-​chat than check in on customers. My #1 biggest pet peeve is that the business hours are completely arbitrary. I have shown up many times well within the advertised business hours and the place will be closed. Very frustrating.

Decent local joint. Above average beer selection and a decent menu. The wings are pretty darn good. Crispy skin every time. The side salad is a great compliment as well as the fried cheese. Service is prompt and courteous, and overall the wait staff helped move the meal at a quicker pace due to our kid who is almost 2 can only sit still for s limited amount of time.

I went to gators today for lunch my friend in our two little kids. we ordered two salads and two child chicken tenders and was there for an hour and a half waiting for our food. The service was absolutely horrendous! We were the only table in the whole restaurant and only about 5 people at the bar. Completely unacceptable especially for someone with little kids! On top of all of this, the salad I had was pretty bad. We never received an apology from the waitress or anything for the amount of time we were there. I will never return to this restaurant!

Stopped in Friday night with a couple of friends and sat at the bar. Service was very slow and the bartender was not to happy. We ordered food wings and BLT’s. The uneaten wings that were on the bar should have been a warning when we sat down. Everything was extremely greasy and not very good. I would not go back.

Normally my fiancé and I love this place but last night our experience was so terrible that I doubt we will return any time soon! First off I felt like we had gone back in time to a high school dance! All of the waitresses were paying more time chatting about the boy working in the kitchen then checking on their guests! Second we ordered the homemade chips and salsa! Let me tell you the chips were definitely from a bag or they were old! Their was nothing homemade about them! And last but not least we normally visit this place for their delicious wings but they were far from delicious this time! The wings were not cooked all the way and were missing the sauces! After it took 20 minutes to get our waitresses attention,
we decided to get them to go and ended up cooking them ourselves at home! Poor experience will also share this with family who visits frequently!

Sat down at a table in the bar area. Waited 20 minutes. Not one person said a word to me. This was at 11:30PM on a Saturday night. While the place was fairly busy, most parties were wrapping up. There were plenty of empty tables around me. I was sitting at a corner table next to a server station. I was somewhat amused at the lack of service initially. As time went on, I became frustrated and just decided to leave. Oh well. Never again.

We got loaded fries, Cuda chips, wings, and buffalo shrimp. The ranch was awesome and everything was top of the line bar food. The shrimp was expensive for the portion size, but tasted good. We will definitely be returning.

You can actually consider this bar and grill an excellent family place to dine. We take our family (which includes our 2 year old) there all of the time. Fries and chips are FANTASTIC!

Pretty good bar food and drink selection. Prices are great. Good sports bar atmosphere with a restaurant attached. Worth checking out for a burger, sandwich, or wings.

This place is always packed with locals for a reason. Great food, great relaxed/​sporty atmosphere, and great service.

Gators is a great casual restaurant with good food and good beer. They always have craft beer on tap. The wings are amazing.

I sooo love this place. I love even more that I live within 10 minutes of it. I have never had anything I didn’t like. My favorites include the hot vegetable salad w/​salmon, the crab stuffed Portobello salad, sweet potato fries, pulled pork nachos and any of their flat bread.
Only once have I had mediocre service when my girlfriends and I went out for dinner and drinks and our whacky waitress completely disregarded ANY request any of us made for our orders. LOL. kind of weird but whatever. Still love it. Still come here regularly. Highly recommend.

This grille truly defines the phrase «hidden gem!» We stumbled upon this place after going to a local pow wow and couldn’t be happier with the service, food, and look of Gator’s Grille! We ordered the alligator bites appetizer in buffalo sauce, which was absolutely wonderful! The alligator meat was chewy, but it was unique and very good tasting, definitely worth the $ 10! We also ordered nacho mama nachos which were fresh tasting, although I would not order them again because they were bland and didn’t have much toppings. The drinks come out in mason type jars, which is such a cute, fun touch! The booths are tall and the dining area wasn’t busy so I felt like I really had privacy even though the bar in the other room was filled! I ordered the buffalo chicken pizza (4 large cuts for $ 9) & it was great! It tasted more like a gourmet buffalo chicken flat bread! The chicken was quality meat, and they put just the right amount of ingredients on it to make it a perfect blend of ranch, buffalo sauce, cheese, crust, seasonings and chicken! We waited a little longer for our food (20 – 25 min), but it let’s you know they are making everything fresh! The bathrooms aren’t the cleanest and there were some files buzzing around, which was annoying, but I give this place 5 stars even with that being said because the service is great, the food is unique and is reasonably priced for the amount they give you! The alligator theme is fun and the inside is really cute! Can’t wait to go again and try their Oktoberfest beers and meals!

Great food. Great prices. Great service. Will be back! The French Dip was awesome. Also have a great beer selection.

We are often in this area for Hartwood Acres events, but never stopped here until this week, and are soo glad we took a chance! It wasn’t too risky actually since we saw a nice review on Unilocal! (Just joined, it’s GREAT!)
Very nice décor for a Pub type place, warm and friendly. Great varied menu from unusual and interesting appetizers, tons of sandwiches! which is what we wanted for an early dinner. All done in interesting combos of breads, and unique touches. My hubby got his all time go-​to Philly Steak, loaded with steak, onion, peppers, cheese on a nice Torpedo roll, not your standard huge dry Hoagie bun. I got the Roast beef, served on Twisted Rye, nice quality beef, lots of cheddar, I skipped the red peppers and horseradish and it was still fantastic. They came with home made chips, awesome, not greasy, and I up dreaded to sweet potato fries $ 2 — excellent, sprinkled with cinnamon! Huge portion!
This will be our standard place to eat now in that area!

I like this place very much. Don’t mistake the A-​OK Rating. While the food is good — this is not like some of my other experiences I had (compare to FatHead’s, Burgatory, Meat and Potatoes, etc…)
My favorite go to food: Barbalo Wings (BBQ /​Buffalo)
My favorite Sandwich: Fish
My favorite Shot: Jameson — neat
My favorite Beer (at Gator’s formerly JD’s): Stella
This place is a fun Happy Hour Place and a good venue to watch sports. I will be back and do my best to create some shenanigans.
7÷6÷12 — Update:
I am upgrading this review because of the fun factor has been raised. The outdoor patio is complete (huge fireplace). I have ventured up to the Cantina where they have outdoor volleyball. I enjoy the beer specials.
This place is pretty fun.
Enjoy!
