The Gator’s Dockside® chain started with one neighborhood restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida in May 1991. The success of this first restaurant, inspired the owners to expand its operations throughout north, south and Central Florida over the span of 14 years. Today there are 16 Gator’s Dockside Restaurants.

The Gator’s Dockside concept has been so well received in the communities it serves and equipped with the knowledge of how to run a successful operation, the owners Anthony and Paul Cipparone, along with John Foerst teamed up with Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc., to expand Gator’s Dockside Restaurants through franchising.

Our neighborhood, casual sports themed restaurants, cater to all walks of life, with emphasis on the sports enthusiast as well as families with children. There is something for everyone with our big screen televisions, pool tables, video games, high quality food and service. Great burgers, sandwiches, ribs, chicken and our signature grilled wings generate a 65% food mix throughout the chain.
Gator’s Dockside prides itself as being a neighborhood restaurant with a fun atmosphere, that’s great for the whole family. Each restaurant becomes a part of the community it serves through raising money for local charities, schools, youth sports programs such as POP Warner football, neighborhood school activities and adult softball teams. By interacting with the local community Gator’s gives something back to the neighborhoods where our guests live and work. This, in turn, fosters lasting relationships that keep our guests loyal to our brand.
