Gator Shack At Babcock Ranch Eco Tours

Wouldn't expect a restaurant way out here in the sticks. I think many customers come from the echo ranch tour along with a few ranch workers. The alligator bites were lightly homemade breaded and fried, the best.

What a rare find in the middle of nothing! Old Florida Country Vibe. The food was absolutely delicious! The Philly was so good! The staff was friendly. Open daily 11-2

This is a charming little restaurant offering great food at reasonable prices. My only issue, which the waitress also acknowledged, is that the website needs urgent attention. The hours are inaccurate; it closes at 2, not 3. Additionally, prices have gone up, and what you receive with your meal doesn’t always match what's listed online. Please support your staff by updating the website! It’s really needed!

Loved this place when we visited last year so we brought some friends with so they could enjoy. Chef Kerrie is still rocking out awesome food. Gator is by far our favorite choice, it is tender and juicy unlike any gator I?ve ever had. Don?t know what cut of meat it is but it?s definitely not what everyone else uses that is so tough and chewy. Her gator is tender to the bite and actually juicy. Best I?ve ever had period. Flounder was very fresh and tasty, hush puppies great as always, as was the shrimp. The pork is great as well but what sets it all apart are the house made sauces from orange marmalade gator sauce, all the BBQ sauces to the blue cheese dressing for the salad. Chef Kerrie truly has a passion for good food and rocks the kitchen all by herself. We were 18 and they were serving 2 when we sat down. We had our food within 20 minutes but the appetizer came out in about 5 minutes, so we were able to sit and enjoy while we talked. This is a very cool place with great atmosphere. It is a GEM out in the middle of cow pastures and swamp land. Highly recommend for their seafood as well as their BBQ. All I can say is Rock On Chef Kerrie!

I'm loving their Philly Cheese Steaks! The BLT sandwiches are also fantastic!
