My first time here - on a chilly sunny day. Our bartender Kelsey was inviting, humorous, and attentive. She’s a gem and her personality keeps this place going! Did order food however it was mediocre at best. Tried the gator bites which had more breading than gator, the bang bang shrimp came with wilted salad and were bland. This place is visually aesthetic, I would definitely come back in the summer for the outdoor seating and the view of Lake Jessup! Also, and more importantly I would come back for Kelsey!

You know, momma always said “don’t out dead things in your mouth” I like eating lizard. Here I can get a gourmet fancy cooked up lizard with all da fix-ins. Sorry mamma.

Im impressed. Not sure if it's because I had low expectations or if the food was genuinely good.
I can tell you that the wings were crispy and juicy on the inside. Very well cooked and in fresh oil. The fries were seasoned and crunchy. And the burger was juicy and filling.... I guess the food was actually very good.
Well done!
The service was ok, nothing extraordinary. Good enough not to complain, lol.
I would suggest better sauce options. We like a variety of hot sauces, and there were none. Actually, they sell their own hot sauce, and there were no tasters. It's pricey, so I opted not to take the risk to buy it. Missed opportunity on their part.

The Lazy Gator Bar at the Black Hammock epitomizes Old Florida Living before the congestion and overdevelopment of the theme parks. The natural views are wonderful and sunsets are spectacular. The food is also reminiscence of older times with Florida favorites of gator tail, spicy shrimp and chicken and fish sandwiches. The bar is well stocked and they have specials on drinks on certain nights. Bingo and Karaoke are big draws so get there early for a seat. I do enjoy challenging the bar tenders to come up with their favorite drinks.

I’ve never experienced worse service at any bar than I did at the Lazy Gator. Our bartender, Tammy (Tamara)- who definitely works there. Her name was on the receipt!!!- , had a disgusting attitude and made it clear she didn’t want to serve us, even though we were friendly and gave her no justifiable reason to treat us that way. We had to go to other bartenders just to get a drink, yet the tab was still placed under her name. When we rightfully chose not to tip her for service we never received, she gave us dirty looks like we were the problem. She was rude, unprofessional, and completely out of line. If you end up here, don’t expect a friendly or respectful atmosphere from her. I won’t be coming back.
