Linger Lodge Restaurant & Bar - Bradenton (FL)

5 /5 George Vogel: Different? Yes, for sure. A bit pricey but WELL worth it. Surrounded by a travel trailer park on one side and the Braden River and OLD FLORIDA on the other. Loved it. I mentioned to our server that the gator bites were too small to suit me yet tasty. Loved the frog legs, Catfish too was flavorful. Our first visit, almost locals, we will LINGER here again. Dang thats a big gator mount and many other fun to see displays. Great server too.

5 /5 Lola Macanowicz: Great established restaurant… where the locals eat! You must check out this spot. The staff is absolutely wonderful and our food came in a timely manner. Delicious meat from the smoker… yum! The highlight was the Bloody Mary! FYI… they change up the components weekly… so it’s always a different drink , so should I stay a meal every week. The screened rear porch for dining provides a great view of the Braden River . Oh .. and the decor is super interesting

4 /5 Philip Annunziato: Good food and excellent service in an informal atmosphere. We had our Thunderbird Club monthly meeting here last Saturday and all went well. We sat outside on the covered, screened deck overlooking the Braden River. The menu is very eclectic with something for everyone from burgers to salads to frog legs to fish. The food came quickly and the service was excellent. I had the Gator with collards and Cole Slaw. One of our members had the Gator Burger a reported it was delicious. The portions are generous and the staff is welcoming, professional and friendly. One of my favorite local eateries

5 /5 Robin Coffey: We love this place. Nicole was great, the hushpuppies are the best of anywhere! Tenderloin perfectly made and gator burger was delicious.

5 /5 Sarah Miller: Geno and Tina are the best! Everyone who works there is so kind and helpful The food is amazing!! The taxidermy everywhere is awesome! And the view of the Braden River is beautiful.
