We stopped in on a Thursday for their wings special and basket of homemade potato chips....DELICIOUS!!! Ashley was our server, did an awesome job! Very attentive!!! Will be back!

I came with a large birthday party .... We haven't been to Downtown Gatorz since pre-Hurricane Ian. What a positive change! Not only is the food better, still with good prices, the staff is so helpful, professional, and friendly. This is your down home FL neighborhood bar & grill. The cook did a great job serving our large party with hot, fresh food, and servers did a great job also. Two good, fresh burgers, good, large crab cakes, and good fries.

Gatorz in Punta Gorda has been my go-to for over two years now. New to the area, I was looking for a place to play pool, eat wings, and sing karaoke. This place is perfect. The service is always amazing with Nicole. She is extremely hard working, and you can tell you enjoys what she does- always has a smile, always in a good mood, engages with the customers, and always looking to see if you need a refill. Gatorz, thanks for the amazing wings, the amazing service, the maintained pool tables, and the live outside entertainment.

I drop by here once in a while for lunch after a bike ride. The meal is always good to great. Beer is cold, staff is friendly... and on Saturday or Sunday afternoons there are always a bunch of locals around the bar! I like it! We always sit on the patio. Relaxed. One thing though, like a lot of places outside, they really need a good power wash on the floors and even table tops. There is so much to love here but it suffers from lack of care to the patio cleanliness.

I love their chicken wings. Also their burgers are great. The servers and bar tenders are spot on. We go outside because I can bring my dog. They have karaoke some days. They have shades on the patio in case it starts raining.

Stopped in for dinner on a Monday evening in Punta Gorda. It appeared there was a strong Kareoke crowd outside, so we preferred sitting indoors. We were able to sit right down which is always a bonus, especially when you are hungry. Was rather impressed with the menu and there were many great meals to choose from. Our group of 4 started with some wings as an appatizer. We order three orders (one boneless and and two regular wing orders) I was happy to be able to combine two flavors (hot and lemon pepper) which was a bonus to me. After placing our orders for appatizers and meals together, we waited for a while until all the food came out at one time. While the folks was great, was bummed when all the food came out together. My boneless wings were good and were hot and tasty. Unfortunately, as I was devouring my food, my main order was sitting, getting colder. I ordered the French dip and while tasty, the au jus was not very hot by the time I was ready to eat it. No doubt all the food came out hot, however when appatizers come out with the main food, it never works our well. Other members in the party has the same feedback with their main meal including a somewhat soggy Bun from sitting to long. All in all it was a great place. They had a great selection and was reasonably priced and the beer was cold which is Always a bonus. Unfortunately, the reason it was not a 5 star meal was when the the wings we ordered as appatizers did not come out before the meal. We did make it a point to ask for the wings first, however that did not happen. If it did, my 4 star would have been a 5 star.
