Gator's Dockside Yulee — Restaurant in Yulee

Atmosphere: Positive and energetic. Food Review: We ordered 25 honey mustard Wings, mozzarella sticks & onion petals .

Wings: they had a scorched taste I thought was only me tasting it because im pregnant. ( i understand pregnancy makes us women more sensitive to every tiny little thing and food ) HOWEVER, it wasn't just me another ate it as well and tasted it. He also tasted the scorch taste. So we eventually asked for anotjer batch. It came however, the same taste came back with it. So we assumed the honey mustard was sorched unaware as it was being prepared.

So once again we gave them another shot and just asked for regular wings with no batter or sause.

They brought us another batch of wings to have absolutely nothing on them at all. Not only no sause. But absolutely no flavor or seasoning at all. Not even onion power, salt or peper. Im mean nothing just plan chicken meat. ....:-(

Mozzarella sticks: Although the flavor was actually right on point and very good, the qulity of them were not. They're long maybe 6inches or so battered mozzarella that look great HOWEVER WHEN TRYING TO EAT THEM....every single one feel apart with each dip in the sause.

Onion Peddles : Well these things are just freaking awesome!! Absolutely love them. They seem to have just a tiny kick of something with a hint of parsley that really makes it unique in a bit addictive. :-)

What made this first-time visit to this new restaurant still okay is because of our very friendly and outgoing personality of our waitress. I think her name was Jackie. And the funny cute other girl who was responding to her mess up and confusion in such a positive way.

The staff and atmosphere made all the unfortunate things not to bad. Great energy and the manager who checked in on us was very pleasant and...

Foods is decent even if a bit overpriced for quality. The variety of specials is nice. The place itself is super clean, including bathrooms, which is rare and super appreciated. The issue leaving me no choice but to give such a low rating is staff. And to be fair it’s only one waitress we keep managing to get that will linger at the table 40 out of 60 minutes we are there. Sadly, the time frame isn’t an exaggeration. The only reason we haven’t complained to managment or to other staff is that we don’t want to risk food tampering if we ever end up back there last minute. Honestly, we can’t see ourselves being blunt no matter how weird and uncomfortable it makes us feel because we don’t want to get anyone in trouble or hurt anyone’s feelings, but this is incredibly unprofessional. We come to eat and enjoy time with our family, not to feel we’re being forced into a conversation while eating. You’d think trying to respond with a mouth full of food the majority of time, having looks amongst each other and the long pauses where we wait and hope the talking is done would be enough of a hint but I guess it isn’t. Instead of spending time as a family were forced to spend most of our meal, yet again, with this stranger and because of this we won’t be coming back to this location for a...

Friendly greeting as soon as we walked through the doors. We were told that the wait would be 15-20 minutes, which it was. The restaurant itself is simple, clean, spacious and filled with big screen TV's everywhere. Our server, ( I am so sorry I forget her name, but I recognized her from having served at another restaurant on Amelia Island), was fantastic! Drink orders arrived quickly. We were told the kitchen was about a 20 minute wait for food and that was fine for our group of 6. The food was good. We started with 3 appetizers: pretzel, gator bites and wings. Pretzel and gator bites were tasty. I do agree with another reviewer that the wings are tasty, but are on the small side and overpriced. Five of us had the fish of the day which was redfish, either grilled or blackened. The portions were very nice and flavorful. One person had the full Cobb salad and it was very good. Someone at the next table had the crispy chicken salad and it was loaded with chicken. We had a variety of sides: fries, coleslaw, mac and cheese and vegetable of the day. Sides were good except for the fries; very disappointing that they were your generic frozen crinkle cuts. All in all, I do think this is a very clean and comfortable, family-friendly restaurant where it's great to go watch...
