The Thirsty Gator is located inside Splitz Bowling Alley, but don’t let its lack of curb presence fool you—this restaurant is the real deal! With a full bar and menu stuffed with choices, you will have no problem finding a delicious meal as you watch any one of the eight flat screen TVs or three huge projection screens.

Holy Gator
We started or meal with a gator tail appetizer ($8), and it was cooked to perfection. Not only was the breading crispy, but the meat inside was tender and juicy. It was served with a side of Texas pedal sauce, which by itself would be too spicy, but complimented the gator tail well.

Next came the Soft Pretzel Dippers ($4), which are Bavarian-style pretzel rods basted with butter and salt and served with both a side of honey Dijon dressing and cheese sauce. These huge golden-brown sticks were soft and chewy and tasted excellent in either of the sauces.

All Fresh, All Natural
My first thought when I bit into the pepperoni pizza ($12) was how fresh it tasted. The thick crust was cooked to perfection in a slab stone pizza oven. The cheese was 100 percent real mozzarella, and the sauce tasted like it was homemade.

The signature Splitz Burger ($9) was more than half a pound of 100 percent Angus beef topped with BBQ sauce, melted Monterey Jack Cheese, bacon and fried onions. It was served with a generous portion of onion rings and dipping sauce on the side.

If you are looking for a classic, look no further than the Brooklyn Dogger ($6). This all-beef frank is more than a foot long and as thick as a banana. It’s topped with chili, cheese, sauerkraut, diced onions and relish and served with a huge portion of fires.

Lunch – N – Bowl
The Thirsty Gator has just launched their new Lunch-N-Bowl program. From 11am to 2pm, you can now come in for lunch and get a free hour of bowling—including shoes! To go with this new program is a new menu. They added a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, Toasted Italian Sub and soup and salad combo. The menu has 10 items, with prices ranging from $7 to $8.

It’s All in the Name…
You can stop by the Thirsty Gator for happy hour Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm and enjoy $1 Thirsty Gator Specially Brewed Beer, $2 domestics and wells, $3 imports and calls, $4 premium and 2-for-1 wines. Whew!

Each Night also has special deals, ranging from Monday’s quarter-mania (25-cent hotdogs, French fries, wings, soft drinks and jungle juice) and Tuesday’s trivia night (25-cent wings) to Friday’s karaoke (or live band) and the weekend’s sports.
