Gator Grill - Homestead

Ordered Gator Basket, it has grilled gator chunks, coleslaw, and fried sweet banana.

This is not your typical dine-in spot - there's plenty of outdoor seating and very few high-top seats inside, which was unfortunate for us because the fair

We loved our experience here. The atmosphere is so fun. Beautiful murals and family feel. Shaded, breezy and comfortable tiki hut to eat under. The staff was very polite and helpful. They clearly have a chef that takes pride in his work. This was the best gator and fried pickles we have ever had. I’m very thankful we stopped for this flavor experience. You need to try this place!

I stopped by this place during my travel to Key West. I have to admit, when I first got my food, I was disappointed at the portion. We ordered the gator bites, which is about $12 for 7 small pieces, and gator tacos, which was about $17 for three small tacos. However, when I tasted them, I automatically understood why the price seemed high for the portion. Both were just delicious! This place is one of the few restaurants that sells grilled gator meat instead of the fried ones that you typically see. Some places have gator meat that's the size of your fingernail, and make it into a round fried ball. However, you just get authentic gator meat at this place. 5 stars for food, service, and atmosphere (though the outdoor dining has a lot of mosquitoes and insects that bite, so beware for that).The staff members were friendly they greeted us kindly and came out to hand us our takeout. I will definitely return when I'm back in the area!

When researching our trip this place was recommended as a must stop. We were not disappointed. We tried the alligator tacos and the Conch Fritters and fries . Both meals were delicious and I was genuinely surprised by the alligator. I would recommend stopping here for lunch when in or near the Everglades.
