Gator Jr's Major League BBQ

My family and I frequent Gator Jrs a lot. The food is pretty good. The rib tips are great, cooked to perfection, I always get my sauce on the side. The chicken on the stick is out main menu item 85% of the time it’s spot on but the other 15% it can be under seasoned we have just started asking for extra lemon pepper when we order. The fish was pretty good well seasoned. If you are in a hurry don’t be if you are getting take out even if you call your order in 20 minutes later when you arrive they may be just starting to cook I have never dined in, but it’s definitely a nice restaurant to try.

You walk in and there is a vibe that you walked into the family’s personal kitchen. As we sat at our table people were walking in and being greeted by name or seeing friends and hugging. The meat portions were generous and perfectly cooked. The sauce coverage wasn’t overwhelming. Honestly the spicy chicken on a stick was my favorite. There was a potato and onion slice between each huge chunk of chicken and they were also delicious. The banana pudding tastes homemade and we MIGHT have gotten an extra serving to go after finishing our meal to eat tomorrow ???? Don’t sleep on this place!

My family loves the chicken on a stick. 90% of the time, it's great, but there's been a few times the seasoning has been off. The rib tips is really good. I'm looking forward to them getting their fish fryer fixed. Because of now, if I want Pantrout, I have to drive all the why to Pearl or Clinton Blvd. Overall

I highly recommend visiting this place! The food was amazing(Chicken on Stick best in Mississippi) is number one in my book!!They even made my wife a Veggie on Stick amazing! My family and I enjoyed this place and anytime we are in town we will definitely stop by! The owners and staff are professional and create a home feeling atmosphere while dining in!

Gator Jr's has really good BBQ! I have been there SEVERAL times and it has always been good until Saturday, August 5, 2023!! The tips were cut substandard...like slivers so I rated them 3 stars . I was highly upset. Most times the tips are very tender and cut down to a nice size. My advice to this establishment is that they not withhold quality. They will lose their patronage. Also...this restaurant needs a change up in dishes for example offer Samplers: Tips, Ribs, & Sausage combos or create a featured offering with a discount of a $1 off. People really appreciate variety, thoughtfulness and an economic break. We are all pinching pennies. We know food prices are soaring. Shift the expense in other ways. Be creative. I rated them a 1 on service because they are ALWAYS overcrowded (from guests waiting on orders) and will not prep call-in orders until the guest arrives. Their explanation for this is that they have been burned by many who have called ahead and didn't follow through to show up for their food, so they will only pull your ticket upon arrival. Well, that defeats calling ahead!! ???? Finally...they get 1 star on atmosphere! No one wants to sit and wait in an overcrowded, hot restaurant for food! Gator Jr's should consider creating an App or offering a website that allows Patrons to order online and prepay. This way, they have their money upfront and the customer doesn't HAVE TO WAIT or wait as long! Even consider Curbside...this is offered at Buffalo Wild Wings, Bulldogs, Applebee's and other restaurants. There's too much technology out. Please get on board!!
