Worst experience!!! We have been to Gator Cove before and really enjoyed our food, but on this occasion it was really bad. We have brought many people therer to eat which we wont do again. Only 3/4 of our party recived their order. Two ordered crawfish, only one received theirs and it was suppose to be extra spicy. It was not spicy at all!! We were told by the waitress the crawfish were not cooked in spice but added to the outside. One of the other meals ordered their seafod baked potatoe which was served with nothing on it. The alligator appetizer was very bland, didnt expect spicy but to have some flavor. No refills on our drinks, it was very poor service. So 3 meals 2 appetizers 4 regular drinks for over $100!! The manager or owner came to the table and when we told him, he did offer to get the meal that was missed, by this time it was too long waiting for our order for our party. He did say for us to tell him what to do and he would do it for us to come back and give them another chance. He should have just done something, but to leave it to the customer is not right when we are extremely upset. Sad to see a nice place going down. Should have known it was going downhill when not as many cars in parking lot. All the other restaurants had lines like Gator Cove use to have. After we got back to our hotel the 3 that hate got sick. Not good!!! Please dont waste your money.

I have been there more than 4times in less Than 3 weeks love the food. The service was VERY unexpected. While I waited to be checked on it didnt happen. She was to busy fixing herhair RIGHT BY THE FOOD AND BAR MIRROR. to check on me. Very unprofessional. I have served for 23 years and when I go out I deserve the same AND I would do THE SAME for ANYONE. PLUS IM GENEROUS TIPPER. SHE MISSED OUT FOR SURE. THANKS AMY THIS MIGHT NOT BE YOUR CALLING ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY.

The worst experience ever.We ordered a appetizer fried alligator.It took us about 30 min to get it. We ordered our food and its takes over an hour for us to get it.We ordered boiled crawfish and when they arrived they were the smallest crawfish i ever seen in a restaurant.The crawfish tasted the shad bait!The worst dinning experience ever.Very disappointed customer the first trip and last.I would not recommend the place for any one.

Atmosphere was fun and lively. The service was not great. We waited 30 minutes after being seated before we got our drink order taken. My sister and i both ordered a steak both were super fatty. The one I recieved had two pieces as if they ran out of 12oz steaks but the second piece was literally 6oz of hard fat! I was very disappointed. The food was also very salty!

They give free pork skins! Gumbo was dark roux very well seasoned. Boiled shrimp (regular) very well seasoned. The restaurant was empty, large party we sat in corner and it was very warm after eating seasoned food.

Closed for the season, but website didnt indicate this nor did any restaurant searches. Heard its a great place, but cant try it yet. Disappointed that they didnt indicate that they are closed for the season.

Eaten here a few times before and never been disappointed. If your a seafood lover and like a variety I suggest the 3 amigos its 3 pounds of crawfish, 3 boiled crabs and I assume 1/2 or 1lbs of boiled shrimp
