“ We ate here over the past weekend and absolutely loved it. The Frosty Gator has some of the best appetizers around. We ordered only appetizers and were very impressed and very much full. We ordered the Idaho Nachos, the Gator Super Jumbo Wings, and the Beer Battered Mushrooms. The Idahos Nachos is a platter with sidewinder fries with a lot of cheese, beans, olives, tomato, jalapeños, the whole deal. It’s a good addition to any order. The portion size is large. The Gator Super Jumbo Wings were amazing. The wings weren’t exactly “jumbo” sized in my opinion, but you get a dozen with a full order. So you’ll have “plenty on your plate.” The wings come with blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing with celery and carrots, while on a bed of lettuce. I don’t even like blue cheese dressing, but I enjoyed this. I was even dipping my beer-battered mushrooms in the dressing. We got the medium flavor on our wings. This sauce is a unique flavor, almost too much of a vinegar flavored. But we just couldn’t help, but keep dipping wing after wing in the blue cheese. The combination was absolutely amazing. Our waitress said that she enjoys getting the hot and Bourbon BBQ glaze flavors for her wings, so we are looking forward to coming back and trying that combination. You must try an order of wings here. The beer-battered mushrooms are hands down the best mushrooms in IF. I would reckon they were the best I’ve ever had. The the breading is delicious and the seasonings are so good. If you aren’t too keen of seasoning, then this may be a dish you skip because these mushrooms are well seasoned. The mushrooms come with a cup of ranch, another amazing combination. There is a lot of breading on the mushrooms, but that just means there is more to eat. The service is amazing here, one of the best in all of town. You’d be hard pressed to find better service, and we went during dinner hours on a Friday. The deep fried alligator appetizer wasn’t available due to supply shortages. But hopefully back on the menu in a month or two. Parking is on the east side of the restaurant. We are already planning on coming back and thinking about the dishes we will try then. I highly recommend the Frosty Gator. ”
“ This place was amazing. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was perfect and the gator was amazing. We traveled 113 miles one way just to eat here and we weren't disappointed. Prices were a bit high but loved it ”
“ Casual bar restaurant environment. The waitresses were super nice and helpful. We wanted to try steak fingers cuz we heard that was an Idaho thing. They came with a variety of sauces but we liked the regular fry sauce the best. Got a huge basket of skin on fries with it. ”
“ Service was excellent, Messina took really good care of us. The fried mushrooms were probably the best in town. I personally had the Philly cheese steak and the gator bites, good food, good service. Stop on by ”
“ This place is GREAT! First off, when they make a mixed drink, yeah, they do it right! Service is always excellent here. Here's the number one thing about Frosty Gator... Apple wood smoked wings. These incredible wings, sometimes throughout the week, I literally start thinking about the taste of these! Smoked out in the parking lot, fried inside, just going to the Gator for the wings is enough! Everything is great here, the hand breaded fish basket, omg, sooooo good! Big portions of fish, the salty breading is delish. Gyro, burger, nachos, just everything is really tasty. Pool table, punching bag, pinball... I see families and kids in here. Prices are great too. I can't say enough great things about this overlooked restaurant. ”
