Darrin CardWe visited the Lizard a few times on our trip. The food and drinks were amazing. The fries were amazing, gator tail was perfectly done with a light breading, and my seafood pasta was fresh and well flavored. Baked potatoes are huge. Our first trip we had a very attentive server and it wasn’t very busy, our second trip came right at dinner time and the service was a little slower and it was busy but they still had our reserved table for 10 ready for us. Overall it is a cool place with live music, great food, and some interesting mixed drinks.

Zoe MewisWent early in the day. Not terribly busy. Typical bar atmosphere. Just excessively loud for me. Food isn't what it used to be. Shrimp is fresh. Everything else is just burgers and fries. Skip the rice and beans. Bring out of towners for the seating by the water. Birds, turtles, gators sun themselves on the floating platform.

Micah “Micah Todd” ToddThis place was great! The place was spotlessly clean, even at the outside seating. The tables were really nice and comfortable and the river location was really really cool! The giant iguana statue looming over the inside of the restaurant was super cool! The food here was excellent! We got gator tail, and they really knew what they were doing to make the gator taste as good as possible! The fries were pretty good too. The French onion soup was to die for! My friends burger, he said it was absolutely perfect. The server did a great job! I was super comfortable here at this restaurant. Thank you so much! Definitely the kind of place to go again!

Elizabeth RoseI have to start the review by giving a TON of credit to the ladies that work behind the bar, I have never seen employees working so hard to make sure everyone was getting served and keeping track of orders - standing ovation. From the outside, the decor is well done and I love how you can find out about all the bands they have playing along with the trivia and karaoke they host. The live band was great! We did notice the signs about don't feed the alligators and from our seats it was beautiful to see all the nature and creatures around the area. Our drinks were made really well and I have the highly recommend the frozen drinks they do, especially on hot days. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and tasted great. I would go back especially seeing all the activities they host. I recommend definitely checking out this spot.
