I have been coming here for many years. Always a good safe time. Beer specials every night and food is homemade. Give it a try you wont be disappointed. Staff make the difference. Owners are local and sincere.

My hubby and I have been going to Gator's Tail for quite a few years now. Steve knows us by sight, and, Tanya and Victoria have our drinks ready before we even sit down. We don't even bother with menus. Chris has the fish and chips (awesome), and, I either have the Chicken & Goat Cheese wrap, or the goat cheese & portabello burger. Yes I love goat cheese. The fries are to die for. Keep doing what you are doing.

Booth seat cover has big rip in in, which i see was noted by a reviewer in 2013. Upon entering this place, i found the music a little loud so i asked if we could sit in the bar as the music was not in there. We sat down and the music turned on in the bar. Asked the server if she could turn in down a couple of times but that didn't happen. Food was ok, but due to the above issues would avoid the place.

I ordered the Philly Po'Boy sandwich at this average pub and found it to be just okay.

The experience got off to a rough start with just one waitress working in a nearly empty restaurant, aside from one occupied table.
