5 /5 J.W. Werner: In town overnight, my buddy and I decided to try out Gator’s Dockside. All together we ordered the Spinach-Artichoke Dip, the Fried Mushrooms, the Garlic Butter Smash Burger and the Fish & Chips.
Our server was friendly but absent for most of our meal. We had to flag down another server for refills and lemon.
The Spinach-Artichoke Dip, which wasn’t on the menu, was VERY good. It was flavorful and creamy and the chips were warm, crisp and fresh. The Fried Mushrooms were my favorite!!! One word of warning, give them a minute or two when they get to the table, they must have just popped out of the fryer because they were HOT, temperature wise, not spicy.
I had the Fish and Chips with slaw. Everything was done to perfection and tasted Fantastic!!! The Fish was hot, crispy, flaky and moist on the inside. The slaw was cold, not room temperature, creamy, finely diced and a hint of sweetness. Fries are usually to me an end of the meal filler but i finished off the Fries before my Fish which never happens. Crispy, salty, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
I was given a quarter of the Garlic Butter Smash Burger. OH MY GOSH! That will be a sure bet for me next time through Lake City!
