GATORS DEN SPORTS GRILL — Restaurant in Alachua

This weekend my husband and I stayed at The Gators Den. The room was fabulous, the food and atmosphere was fantastic... but what made our trip absolutely amazing was a staff member named Colby!! Some how I lost my cell phone and wallet while crossing the street across from The Blue Gator. This honest staff member, saw my wallet/phone in the street while driving by... made a u-turn to retrieve it... contacted the last person on the text messages to notify them that he found it and had it safe at the Blue Gator Bar!! At the time, I had no idea I had even lost my phone, and was out on the boat/tubing in Rainbow River. Once I was notified, I quickly returned to the bar and found Colby and his dad working hard outside!! They immediately turned over my phone with everything intact!! I am so impressed with this type of genuine compassion!! Colby is a great employee and I hope he’s recognized for being such an outstanding asset to the company!! There definitely should be more Colby”s in the world!! Colby thank you for making what could have felt like a nightmare.... turn into nothing less than a miracle!!! I will highly recommend The Gators Den and The Blue Gator to everyone I know! We will...

We used to go here fairly often BC (before COVID). It's been about two years or more since we ate here. We decided to go here on a recent Sunday afternoon. It was just about deserted, only one drunk guy at the bar and a few guys at a table. I was surprised since there were so many football games on and this place has big TV's all over the place. They used to have a good menu selection but it's been whittled down. We got a cheeseburger and fries which was very good and a good price too. Also got 10 wings with garlic/parmesan sauce which was really bland. They were around $13 which was way more than they were worth in my opinion. The place is small but comfortable. The day we were there the staff was disorganized and not attentive and didn't seem to know what they were doing. Even though we sat at the bar with only a couple of other patrons we had to get their attention to order then again to get our bill. I will definitely give them another shot and hope they get it together and stay open because it's a nice little...

in the most unlikely of places, i found true greatness! true story: this place is the best. we stay in gainesville, florida two nights a year, and always eat dinner at "a sit down restaurant, like Chili's🌶️ or something". but, this year we wanted something different, so i googled best restaurants in gainesville and trip advisor said gators den sports grill. we googled directions and were shocked to see it connected to a best western hotel! at first we were skeptical but the food was all cooked to perfection and delicious beyond my expectations. i was so impressed, i made a compliment to the manager. my grouper was exquisite and my two teens devoured their entire plates and were raving! i liked the place well enough to return someday. ask for rob and...
