My husband & I visited today after 18 years since our last visit! (We moved 4 states away in 2008) Everything about Black Hammock is great!! I love the abundance of wildlife! All the food was awesome! We had the clam chowder, a black and blue burger, gator panini and black hammock burger. Quick service, too! If you haven't been, what are you waiting for?

Good fresh food done right! The servers were very kind and efficient. You could see the manager was actively engaged in the restaurants operations. You can't beat the atmosphere here. I've been coming here for so many years with my wife. My only disappointment is years ago that used to make an amazing clam chowder with tarragon. If they could just start serving that again that recipe alone it's worth the trip out here!

We had a birthday party for a few friends and the Lady Gator was the perfect venue. The layout and spacing fit our needs well and the food service was quick and easy. The best part was the service by Shannon behind the bar! She kept up easily with everyone’s orders and served it all up with a smile and amazing service. Will definitely consider the Lazy Gator and Black Hammock for future events.

Killer hidden gem for laid-back Florida vibes and unbeatable sunset views.
The Lazy Gator Bar at Black Hammock is more than just a watering hole - it’s a full-on experience. Perfect spot for cold drinks, live music, and watching gators cruise by while the sky lights up over Lake Jesup. It’s got that old-school Florida charm that hasn’t been polished to death - just how I like it.
Plenty of space for groups, and the live bands bring solid energy on the weekends. If you’re looking for a venue to chill, catch a buzz, and take in nature doing its thing - this is it.
Great drinks, easygoing crowd, and a backdrop that makes your phone photos look like a postcard.

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!
