This was a really cool place. They have gators everywhere, probably too many but I am not a gator expert. There is a huge arcade next door as well that is fun to look at. They have a massive gift shop and tons of things to do while you wait for your table. It was an hour wait for us on a Tuesday evening. The food and drinks cake fast and were very good. I got a gator burger and it was delicious were the mashed potatoes and slaw. I was wondering if the food would be good with all the other stuff but it was great. The service was great as well.

This is definitely one of the places to visit if you are in Destin. Great family atmosphere and the staff is great. One thing to note is that when you get there go to the check in area and not to the host desk or the teens there won’t be happy about it. Everyone else was spectacular from our check in person to our server to the guy making balloons for my kids. The food was great and we enjoyed every dish we had. For you sweet tea connoisseurs I am happy to report that their sweet tea is wonderful. Please don’t let the waiting time (which can be an hour or longer depending on how busy they are) scare you. There is plenty to do there. We easily spent a half an hour just in the gift shop and had just made our way down to see the alligators up close when they buzzed my phone. Very pleased with this restaurant experience and will be coming back next time we are in town!!!

The waiters were awesome! The food was great. I tried alligator for the first time and I highly recommend it. The whole place was a good vibe and there was all kinds of fun things there. You could look at a ton of gators free.

Rosemary was such a wonderful server! She was so enthusiastic and helpful with the menu. My entire family loved the food and the service. We took a photo holding an alligator and fed them too! It’s a great place for kid’s and adults! I highly recommend the crab dip, tacos, and Big Blue Margaritas! Will definitely be back!

Food was delicious and they gave you a lot!! But it is pricey. $20 a person easy. They serve alligator which is weird since there are live ones outside It had cool decor. Definitely worth the visit!

Live Gators to pass the time, definitely the longest wait we have ever done before. I wouldn’t day waiting for 1.5hr was worth it but still nice to try. We had a great waiter and staff was very mindful when noted a food allergy which was great. Definitely loved my son getting a balloon animal and the end of our meal.

Food was great, our waiter was very friendly and helpful too. The potato skin appetizers were some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything else we ordered was great as well. They have some interesting and unique menu options but it is worth giving them a try.

If you’re not looking to spend a few hours having lunch, don’t go here. It was an hour wait when we went. We didn’t stay for the food, but I was finally able to get a bartender’s attention so that I could get one of their souvenir cups with a drink. It was $20, and honestly, it’s mostly ice. The gator show looked like it was interesting and they do have a nice souvenir shop. It did have a good vibe in there, though. We went around 2 pm.

The place sounded really neat, so I wanted to check it out before heading home. The place itself was cool. I just got an appetizer (sampler) it was overcooked and really salty. I ordered a bucket drink that I paid $20 for that i could not taste any liquor in-save your money folks – not worth it! To top it off, the bartender was a spaz. He could not handle the pressure and was overwhelmed very easily.

First time at this spot, worth the trip from Panama City, wanted to try something new.. staff were so welcoming, so fun to watch Stephanie and the bartenders make all the special drinks. They were so nice to talk with! I had the crab dip which was delicious and I tired gator for the first time, wow, what a surprise to LIKE IT! Thank you for such a fun atmosphere and I’ll be back with my friends!
