Genuinely really good food. Got the sharing platter for 2 people for £27. Jambalaya, pulled pork, gumbo and steak loaded fries. Nice, friendly service, would definitely go back
We ate here on a Saturday afternoon recently. We had the sharing platter for 2 as we wanted to try a selection of what was on offer. Our favourite was the pulled pork, flavourful and moist along with a very good steak topped fries, great taste to the steak. We had a taste of the burger and was very impressed, I’d go for this next time and the mustard sauce was lovely. Lots of complementary sauces so you can adjust the flavours, add a bit of spice or a different dipping sauce. Had a great chat with the owner, love the concept. Great partnership with the bar a couple of doors up and the grand central that was recommended went very well. A quiet day when we went in and sure the atmosphere would be better if a little busier. Enjoyed our meal.
Me and a friend went here after I finished work, my friend has multiple severe allergies so it can be tricky finding somewhere to eat out that the place we're at csn accommodate and my friend feels safe enough to eat at. Gator pit is definitely one of these places now, the people running it are friendly and super helpful! Most importantly the food was thoroughly enjoyed. 10/10 recommend and will be going back in future
We stopped here for Lunch during our day shopping in Chester. I was happy to find something a bit different, I had the Jambalaya which was very satisfying! The owner(?) was friendly and welcoming, he even helped us with the pram. The food was tasty and there was a nice selection of sauces available on the tables too. I even appreciated the music choice. We would defo visit again if we're in the area. 👍
The best burger I've tasted full stop I can't praise the Gator pit enough absolutely fantastic. The staff are fantastic they can't do enough the owner dropped a bag of shopping to my door when I stupidly left it behind. Thank you once again.
Thankx for a lovely meal last night,, the pulled pork was fantastic !! After a long Friday in Chester " shopping " we were so pleased to finally get to try your little GatorPit,,
It was great meeting you enjoyed our chat almost as much as the food !! Pretty decent prices too,,, I'll bring bottle of wine next time though,, hahaha
All the very best to you for rest of the summer and beyond,, See you next time we are in need of reviving,, 😜GreenRocker & wife,,,
Came here today , enjoyed the sharing platter. Food and service were perfect ! Cannot recommend this place HIGHLY enough - it really is wonderful.
Please bottle and sell the homemade gator mayonnaise - it’s AMAZING 🤩
Excellent independent restaurant in the City centre. The food, service and atmosphere are superb. Visited on a Saturday lunch time, all 4 of us really enjoyed our meals. 3 burgers with pulled pork and a jambalaya. The burgers with pulled pork were the best we have ever had and the jambalaya was really tasty and full of chicken and smoked sausage. Its BYOB and they also have a drinks menu in collaboration with Providence Gin next door, you order and they will pop out and get them for you. I would recommend a visit in a heartbeat and we will definitely be visiting again and again.
Really great place to eat out as someone with multiple food allergies and a fussy eater. The chef was very accommodating and allergen aware.
Very friendly service , great atmosphere, , reasonably priced, tasty food and BYOB . The food and service did not disappoint. Thank you both !
Amazing food, we ordered the Double Cheeseburger with BBQ Pulled Pork with Cajun fries. Really tasty, perfectly cooked and plentiful.
The hosts were lovely, really friendly.
Make sure you go here, you'll thank me afterwards!!
We were so pleased we stopped here to eat as the food it brilliant. It’s a great menu which we would genuinely eat anything from and nice to see something different. Flavours in the gumbo were beautiful and I loved the fact you can heat it up with various different sauces. Our daughter had the ribs and chips and they knocked spots off any previous incarnations of the same. Chips really were good, we will get our own next time. Lovely, friendly guy running the restaurant, he does it all himself and he’s doing a great job. We will be back!
My wife always liked this place from when they were on Chester Market. Went there this afternoon and had a variety of dishes. They were all delicious. The staff were attentive and helpful. We're looking forward to coming again and bringing our toddler who would love the dedicated kids corner. Gator Pit is definitely worth a visit.
Amazing meal here yesterday.
Super friendly staff who couldn't do more for us. Tasty food and excellent prices.
Next time I am in Chester, I will return.
Thank you for the couple of extra fries on the other halves plate so she didn't steal all of mine 😁
Merry Christmas 🌲
Cracking little place, I always sniff out the small businessess rather than the multi chain guys, and this place is brilliant. Yes there were a few little issues but hey that's life. All 5 of us really enjoyed our lunch. the food, service and the whole feel of the place was great. Give these guy's a go and help small independent restaurants.
Good luck for the future I will definitely be back.
A group of us stumbled upon this little gem in Chester this weekend. The owner is so lovely and very accomodating. All 6 of us were very impressed with the food and service. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a spot of lunch or dinner. Bring your own booze too. 😊
What a great find, situated at the top of Watergate street Chester, my daughter and I were lucky enough to find a table on a busy lunchtime. The menu is small but varied, and is great value, I opted for the double stack burger, this was served in a delicious soft brioche bun, with baby gem lettuce and fresh tomato, and a portion of Cajun fries, my daughter opted for the pulled pork and rice, I can honestly say it was the best pulled pork I’ve ever tasted, like butter it just melted in the mouth,
A great atmosphere was provided with just the background music and the gentle buzz of appreciation when other diners were tucking in.
Definitely da go to place to eat for us
Best gumbo ever ! I thought I'd had good gumbo before in the U.S but this is on another level.
The food is top quality, made fresh by a chef who has a real passion for creating quality food.
Service is excellent, efficient, warm and welcoming. The food is epic, I will be back again soon and would recommend Gator Pit to anyone and everyone, great fresh, flavoursome food in a great environment with excellent service, couldn't ask for more.
I came here with my dad and my sister for the first time and as soon as I had my first bite it was the nicest thing I have ever had. The chef is a really nice and friendly guy, definitely going to come here again.
Incredible food, wonderful service. Insanely good value for money. Delicious, a real treat. Will definitely be back. Thanks Tony :)
