Gator's Dockside Port Canaveral Cape Canaveral

Very nice place to eat. The menu has a decent selection. The prices are lower than all others in the dock area. The food was good but fell just shy of great. Mainly items like the fish sliders and the cheesesteak needed a sauce. The fish and chips portion was very large. Our server did a great job. The location was great with both inside and outside seating. We got there about 6 on Saturday and didn't have to wait. They do have a kids menu. Also Monday nights are all you can eat wings.

Gators Dockside Restaurant Review, Port Canaveral, Florida Ashley, our server, was friendly and attentive, and Chef Phil prepared a delicious meal for our group of friends. We enjoyed dining on the dock with views of the passing cruise ships and the occasional windy breeze. Appetizer: We shared the Chivechi included with purple sweet potatoe served with tostones, a Latin American  Caribbean type dish of fried plantains. The purple sweet potatoe was a nice Chivechi and flavorful, and the tostones were crispy and delicious. Main Courses: Jay and Agnes had Mahi Mahi Tacos, which they both enjoyed. The Mahi Mahi was fresh and tasty, and the tacos were a somewhat flavorfully seasoned. 2/3 Yums. Chuck had the soup of the day, which was corn and shrimp chowder with French fries. The soup was creamy and flavorful, with plenty of shrimp served room temp. 2.5/3 Yums. Buck had the Mahi Mahi sandwich with pineapple coleslaw. The Mahi Mahi was cooked to perfection, and the pineapple coleslaw was a refreshing and delicious accompaniment. The pinapple coleslaw was missing a sweetness to give it a little kick. 2/3 Yums Overall: We had a wonderful dining experience at Gators Dockside. The food was delicious, the service was near excellent, and the views of the port and cruise ships departing were amazing. Caution to the wind. The menus take flight with occasional gust. When our table next to us, there menu launched from the wind and knocked over our drinks, Ashley was attentive to quicky sop up the split beverage and replace it. 2/3 WooHoo's We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in Port Canaveral. Overall 2/3 Yums with service, food and atmosphere on the deck overlooking dockside to Port Canaveral. We all give Gators Dockside 2 out of 3 WooHoo's for service, atmosphere and the dining experience was 2/3 Yum yums. CptBuck
