Bunjin “Bun” I love this place! It never disappoints, the food is very good and the atmosphere is great! They have a burger menu and a weekend special in addition to their regular menu. Definitely my favorite place in the city.

Befaithful Coker Wow! What a way to celebrate Veterans and with a memu that says we love this community. The food was piping hot and it seems everything was cooked to order and made super special. The wings were awesome, the burgers were a great beef quality, and the tacos were a generous portion topped solid with fresh ingredients. If you have never tried the churros, this is going to spoil you, straight from the fryer with melted caramel and fudge just waiting for you to splurge. The Arnold Palmer was perfectly mixed, not to sweet or tart. The prices were awesome and the daily specials are priced just right.

Rebel Dude This is literally thee best pizza in lake city and north central Florida. I am very critical of my pizzas because its my favorite food and Ive had amazing mom and pop places in South Florida, NYC, and even out on the west coast. Its got the perfect crispy crust. And you can smell and taste the fresh garden ingredients and imported cheese. Its the best Margherita pizza Ive ever had besides a Greek pizzeria. I cant say on the rest of the menu. But the pizza is fire.The wings and garlic Knotts also are my favorite in town.

Jill Evert We had a wonderful experience here! The breakfast was absolutely delicious, especially the chicken and dumplings. Our waitress, Theresa, was fantastic: attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. We also enjoyed browsing the shop, which was full of nostalgic gifts that brought back a lot of memories. The restroom was clean and well maintained.

William Pitts The service here was so amazing. I walked in and was instantly greeted with so much hospitality you would have thought I was Paul Newman walking into a nursing home. I ordered my food and was quickly seated. While I was seated I met the sweetest girl, Ms. Lauren. We talked to Lauren and learned about her aspirations of becoming a nurse and how she’s been working here to fund college and buy herself a car. People like Lauren are the reason Chick Fil A is such an amazing place. She personally threw away our food and opened the door on our way out. 10/10 experience, would recommend!!!

Luis Antonio Maigon We had a wonderful time at this location. We were seated within 10 minutes of arriving around 11:15am. The place did start to fill up around noon but there didnt seem to be much of a wait. We stopped by on our way home to south Florida. Isaac was a fantastic server. The food was prepared correctly and we did have one plate returned but it was corrected quickly. The overall experience was terrific. I recommend this spot for great steaks. I had the steak and rib platter and the ribs were amazing. Next time Im ordering full rack!

Clayton Bigsby First time trying this establishment and I was happy that I did. The service was great and friendly as well as the atmosphere being very clean. The ribs, smoked chicken, and peach cobbler egg rolls were amazing great flavor. I was not a fan of the Mac and cheese as that was the only item I had an issue with but other than that everything else was great. Highly recommended place to give a try.

Christal Suttner Super good food at an unbeatable price! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Cute decor and a welcoming atmosphere. We were only visiting Lake city but if we’re ever back in town this is definitely our place of choice. 100% worth the visit.

Tracy Martin Passing thru town. Friendly/welcoming staff, good food with large enough servings to share. Service was friendly and food came hot & in reasonable time for sit down meal. Not much left :-) Kat our waitress attended to all our needs and kept my coffee cup full. Highly recommend

Ray Miller This time its scallop medallions & grilled shrimp combo and the deconstructed shrimp kabobs. Shrimp kabobs was my server Reagans suggestion and definitely the right choice. They come piping hot with a delicious butter dipping sauce, but they taste great even without it. The vegetables (red, green bell peppers, onions, zucchini) are grilled with just the right amount of char to give it a delectable hint of smokiness that compliments the cajun shrimp. The sautéed scallop medallions are tasty and the rice pilaf is light, fluffy and goes well with the rest of the dinner. The chopped brocoli was good, but could have a better ratio of florets to stems.

david sanchez We go to Olive Garden all the time, but this location was by far the best one we’ve ever been to. The food was fresh, hot, and perfectly prepared, and the atmosphere was welcoming from the moment we walked in. What really made the experience stand out was our waitress, Kelly. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect without us ever having to ask. Her great attitude and excellent service truly made our visit memorable. We will definitely be coming back!

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!

Meadow thorne My friend. From out of town wanted to stop here.It will be the last time I ever eat in the first time.I ever eat it one of these.It does look like they have a beautiful menu.However, the pictures are very deceiving.The food tastes horrible.It looks nothing like the picture.The portions were super small.My chicken was overcooked.The steak was overcooked.The only thing that was plentiful was the butter for the bread SECOND TIME I got a breakfast with caramel.Apple French toast.There was bacon potatoes loaded to eggs.Absolutely delicious.Blew my mind so I will forget the first experience and definitely come back again based on the second

Janet Stiles The food, service and atmosphere was perfect. There was no wait, even thou the place was busy, the booth we were at had great lighting, we could actually read the menu. Our server was awesome and very attentive. Food was excellent, and of course the atmosphere was great. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back. Love their blue cheese dressing.
