This rating is given based on my overall experience with this venue based on similar locations. I would classify Ollie Gators as a budget minded bar food stop ranging in the $10 per plate range with alcoholic drinks being $3+.
I've been coming here for years off and on and over the years there's one thing that comes to mind about Ollie's, consistency. I've consistently had decent service, decent food, and a decent atmosphere. Nothing about Ollie's stands out, it's not really meant to. Ollie's is a local bar that also serves decent food. The interior is packed with sports stuff and they offer a few different TV channels usually playing a variety of sports.
The beer list is not huge, but there are always a few good crafts in bottles and tap, and there are well drink and PBR options for those wanting to save some money. They also offer 22 ounce pours for the beer.
I've mostly had the chicken and burger items from the menu and they've all been good. Their "Gator Bites" - boneless wings - don't taste frozen, they taste like they were cooked on the spot. They have a variety of cool burgers and they're sized good for the quality and price. I've never had to send back any food that I've ordered here - I've enjoyed every bit.
Ollie's is a place to go grab a quick bar food meal. Boneless wings, burgers, and the like. It won't impress you but the place isn't intimidating and neither is the crowd that goes there. Worth a stop if you're looking for a rather cheap place to eat without being...
Read moreI'm not a fan of me having to pull the tail shell off in shrimp dishes and thought that would keep me away. It didn't. The food is very good and because there are few creole/cajun restaurants in my area we went back and happy we did. There are several non cajun entrees things on the menu to choose. I asked for plenty of rice and got it with the Etouffe. Delicious! Shrimp and crab were plentiful and tasty in the Quesadilla. Buffalo chicken soup was good but had very little, if any, chicken. I would order again and hope for more chicken. We have lived near this place for more than 20 years but had never been there in all those years because it is described as a a pub and there isn't really anything to hint that it is creole other than the picture of Gator. I never put two and two together for the link.The first time we were there we sat off the bar but now since we realize they have a small dining room, we prefer that because it has more of a restaurant feel. The is revised review and I upped the star rating. The kitchen is very strong and the chef top notch. We...
Read moreMaybe we picked the wrong day or hour to go, I am not sure. But I called in advance to make sure they accommodated children (as I have 2) and I was told yes. We have a bar side and a restaurant side. We get there about 7 minutes later and the place is pretty full and loud with a sign that says sit yourself and if we take a long time to get with you please wave us down. We didn't see anywhere to sit. An employee approached us and said she would go check to see if there was a table for us or if one would come.open soon. So a long 15 minutes story later we decided to leave after standing in the door way still waiting. And my husband walked around and looked for the employee to see if she could tell us anything. But he couldn't find her and the other employees just kept walking by or even stood around and ignored us. I was really looking forward to trying...
