food was great and so was the service. David was our server?

Got blacked grouper, it was small individual pieces like they pulled the breading off and the cooked it on a grill tasted nothing but salt. Then the pretzels were deep fried and uneditable. Will never go back!!

Great food and drinks. We visit every time we come into town to visit family.

I was a little scared to come in here lol not knowing what I would get BUT it was decent actually.Our waitress was Lexy…very nice lady.The food was good.I had seafood platter I believe… fish ? and shrimp ? with mashed potatoes and my guy had salmon ? with rice, broccoli and black beans.I also tried their fried gator. Now listen, I don’t like it. I don’t like gator ? but I know whoever do would like theirs because it wasn’t nasty…just I don’t like the texture of the meat.Also the environment would be better with some ?

Good restaurant to enjoy good food. Things look a little dated and worn but the restaurant was clean.I am allergic to shellfish and crustaceans so I had a limited amount of food to order. Because I was told that they fry the shellfish and crustaceans and the same oil as everything else. That was a bit of a disappointment for me.I got their own burger day which was nice because the burgers were cheaper that day. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger which what's cook nicely and it was tasty. I order coleslaw for my side because I could not eat the french fries.My partner she had a veggie burger where she said was very good. A side of plantains which she said was delicious.

The food was okay. The prices are fair. I gave it the 3 star because the woman bathroom was a mess. It wasn't that clouded to be that dirty. They were pieces of paper everywhere.

We are a family of 4 that came in last Wednesday for a late dinner. Hostess was typical of the new style of workers. Took her about 4 minutes to roll 4 sets of silverware. She was more worried about her appearance then the restaurant appearance since not busy and she couldn’t even fold the shirts that were for sale ; they were throw in display cabinet. The friendly male host that took us to our table knew what was going on and tried to get her to work fast but was unsuccessful. We lucked out that our server, Nikki was great and welcoming. She was friendly and attentive even with her many tables. We absolutely LOVED the 4 BAVARIAN pretzel appetizer brushed with garlic butter and the alligator bites were also good. The adult drinks were reasonably prices and were 2 for 1. We were there on Burger Wednesday and the burgers were delicious and juicy; we ordered the mushroom and Swiss as well as the black and blue. We were talking about the pretzels the rest of the week in Bradenton. We will definitely be back.

WOW ? I didn't exactly know what to expect, but we were pleased ?. Some good friends wanted to try it, so we gave it a shot, glad we did. We were all happy with the environment, food, and service. Their prices were more than reasonable for the portions and taste. The main entrees were all delicious and cooked to perfection, and the sides were very well prepared as well. The portions were good sized, and we couldn't finish them. As for the service, the waitress was excellent and personable. This is a place worthy of trying. We will definitely return.

We were able to walk right in for a late dinner on a Thursday. There was music trivia to participate in throughout the restaurant, but not too loud. The food was good, serve was nice. It was very busy.

A different but fun place to go especially for northerners looking for a Florida experience. Neat atmosphere, clean, and the staff was great. Kids tried the fried alligator and the rest of the food was delicious.
