Gator Joe's

Tasty fish basket and reasonable prices.  However they use a lot of plasticware and plastic cups which are not ideal to protect the environment.  Would definitely return because the food was so tasty

Was recommended to try this place by our shuttle driver, telling us the gator was sliced thin and fried in a tempura like batter for the "Philly cheesesteak" and we'd probably prefer it over the bites because they're a bit chewy. All 3 of us were sold, so we ventured on over. We've never had gator before and being on vacation we felt we had to try something new.
Low and behold the "cheese steak" was not sliced, but were the fried bites. (nicely fried i might add. Not greasy at all.) Was a little disappointing but I still enjoyed it! Gator itself had a clean taste. I can't say it taste like chicken because to me, it didn't. It just had a light clean taste to me. Some pieces however were more fatty and you could tell you were eating something new. However, the sandwich itself wasn't all that great. (i forgot what it's called that's why I keep referring to it as "cheese steak")  I probably would have been better off just getting the Gator Bites Basket with fires (fries with the sandwiches were $.75 more. ) I did however enjoy the sauce it came with and it defiantly pulled the sandwich more together and brought the taste out in the gator bites.
For the Frog Legs, they were really nicely battered and fried. HUGE pieces and the basket came with about 5. They were very meaty, so if you're a frogs legs fan, I would defiantly recommend them. However I found them to taste fishy, so I wasn't a huge fan because even though frogs live pretty much in the water I just couldn't wrap my head around it. (Never had frogs legs before.) You can also substitute fries and coleslaw for 2 different sides.
I enjoyed the view very much. We sat outside on the deck that extended over the water. There were steps that went down to the beach and the water was very inviting. There was also a volley ball net, and a bar outside on the deck.
Prices were vey reasonable, for 3 of us, with iced teas, it was about $49.

great location, over the lake, good fried seafood choices, clams, shrimp, gator (yeah eating the mascot of a place sounds wrong, but is oh so good) the French fries are standard
the drinks are fun, had the gator juice - sweet which hides the potency and the voodoo juice made with a bunch of rums and served in a bucket, - good thing I wasn't the designated driver on this trip
the wait staff are friendly and very attentive
