I would have to say hands-down gators a really great restaurant to be at. I prefer gators over the Celtic. Great any day the atmosphere and there is much more pleasant and the people there are so much more nicer. Specially when I go there, I always ask. Is Bailey working tonight They usually tell me she does and I will always do my best to always be sit at her table. She’s always very respectful. She’s always here to listen to the customer and I usually will get my food out quicker when she’s around. She’s very hard worker and I would have to say hands-down, the best worker there

“Hands down, the absolute best spot in town! Every time I walk through the door, Denise lights up the place with her huge, genuine smile—it instantly makes my day. She’s a total rockstar: my food always arrives piping hot, my beer stays ice-cold and gets topped off before I even have to ask. Seriously, the service is flawless because of her.
As long as Denise is working here, count me in as a permanent regular—and I’m bringing my crew of twenty friends with me! We meet up here all the time, and they love it just as much. Denise, you’re incredible—thank you from the bottom of my heart. And thank you, Gatorz, for having the best team around!”
