We like to bring our dog, so we seek out pet friendly restaurants. Gatorbites has an outdoor patio where our golden retriever is welcome, so we love that. The hostess immediately came out to greet us, followed closely behind her waitress counterpart. Our drinks came right away - no waiting. The fried grouper reuben sandwich I ordered was excellent.

We selected Gatorbites because our mid-Western friends had never had gator. We had it blackened and it was really, really good. Everyone was surprised that it was not chewy or fishy. I'd never had gator that wasn't fried, but I was impressed. My friend had the tuna salad sammich, which was good as well. I'd go back for a casual... More

This is a great place to pop out and grab dinner or a drink. Family friendly, sports on the TV, sit outside on the porch and enjoy the simple atmosphere. The Sweet Chili wings on Tuesday Wing Nights are a different twist that are really nice.

We ate here twice on our trip to Fort Myers. Both times had a very positive experience. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Had a minor issue with our bill and they went above and beyond to make it right. Food was yummy.

We have eaten here at least ten times since they opened. Although half of the place is a Key- West Style bar, the other half is great for kids. Very casual, clean, quick service. Good place for mom and dad to unwind with a drink while the kids have a fun meal. Prices are very reasonable. The owner, Todd, is... More

We were greeted outside of the restaurant by a very pleasant gentleman who asked if we wanted to sit inside or out. We opted for inside after being at the beach most of the day. Don't let the location fool you, in a strip mall with a Piblix grocery store. The menu was great and as the name says "Gatorbites... More

If you are looking for a fun bar/pub this is the place. The service is great and fun, the owner/manager was super. Prices are reasonable, food is great , many choices. Casual place, they understand and appreciate the customer. Matter of fact went two nights in row when we were in the area

Good hamburger. We tested gator...you can order just a couple of bites for about 2 bucks. The service waas excellent. The manager (who may have been the owner) made it a point to say hello and goodbye. Very nice experience overall. I would eat there again.
