First time experience ordering and eating at Gators BBQ. When you walk in there is a small dining area for you to eat and signs for you to order and pick up. I felt very rushed after I called in my order and arrived. I saw the cakes and wanted to add the cake to my order(which was done with no problem) but it also caused my potato salad to not get rung up. I was asked what sauce I wanted but no indication of the sauces available so I just said a mix. The food was good and had certain items that stood out. On the chicken dinner you get two sides. I ordered baked beans and fries. The fries were good. Can't wait to try the loaded fries. The baked beans were ok. They were not nasty at all and also were not over the top but edible. My next dinner was the rib dinner. I chose to get the thick ribs with Mac n cheese and collard greens. The Mac n cheese was standard and cheesy. The greens were heavily seasoned with a pepper taste. Not sure if it was pepper sauce or black pepper but too heavy. The sauces were a sweet one, one similar to Carolina gold, one similar to regular BBQ sauce, and one that was trash that was very liquid and tasted like vinaigrette with a Worcestershire sauce? The cakes were phenomenal!!! Definitely not sharable. With my overall visit, I will return.

Wow this was seriously amazing BBQ. The ribs melt in your mouth and pack so much flavor even without having any sauce on them (too many places drench their meats in bbq sauce). The baked beans and mac and cheese were great as well. Got some complimentary banana pudding while waiting for our meals. My favorite BBQ in NE Florida was Woodpeckers but this place makes it a hard choice now.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant! Delicious BBQ food ✅, fast service ✅ family friendly ✅ friendly staff ✅ parking ✅ Close to I-295, exit 22 ✅ I felt like we won the lottery lol! The kids ordered kids ribs, one with sweet potato, one with corn, I ordered the burnt tips and chicken with sweet potato and corn, our oldest ordered the brisket with Mac n cheese and beans and my husband ordered the ribs with beans and we shared the fried green tomato! EVERYTHING, everything was great! Our fried green tomatoes came a little over fried first but Linda was quick to tell us that they were already making us a new batch. We recommend 100%!!!

Snapper diner is great! Soft shell crab is so so. Baby pork ribs is very good, smoked turkey breast is great, juice! Over all is good! Recommended! Planning come back!

Visiting Jacksonville from the north, i was happy to have stopped by Gators for some barbecue. The smoked sausage was excellent. I was also pleased with the collared greens, which I seldom find in the north.
The staff were excellent and very friendly. If I find myself in Jacksonville in the future, I would try to stop back here. Though, I would probably skip the brisket next time and try something else.

Love the food but they DEFINITELY need a bigger dining area. That place is so packed I keep bumping into people so I have to stand against the wall lol. Not a long wait time either for the food. Staff very friendly. I love the fact they pass out samples of banana pudding while we wait.

Very friendly staff and super service. The food was good. Loved the fresh pork rinds. Ribs were a little dry. Popular restaurant. Place was full the entire time we were there.
