Voted #1 People's Choice
Since 1988, Gator's Grill and Spirits has been the heart of Burlington's dining scene. What started as a local gathering spot has grown into one of Southeast Iowa's most beloved restaurants, earning the #1 People's Choice award time and time again.
At Gator's, we believe great food starts with quality ingredients. From our hand-cut breaded pork tenderloin to our slow-cooked BBQ ribs, every dish is prepared with care and pride. Our menu has something for everyone, whether you're craving a juicy prime rib, fried catfish, or one of our famous burgers like the Stumblin' Jack.
But Gator's is more than just great food. It's the kind of place where the staff knows your name, where families celebrate birthdays, and where friends gather after a long week. Our team takes pride in making every guest feel like family from the moment they walk through the door.
Whether you're stopping in for happy hour, a weeknight dinner, or a special occasion, we're honored to be your neighborhood spot. Thank you, Burlington, for making us your #1 choice for over 35 years.
