five star review by Keri E:
Fun, relaxing atmosphere with excellent food and service. The gator tail was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the shrimp and grits were fantastic! If you can’t find something on the menu that you don’t like, you’re just not that hungry.

Fudpucker’s catered an event for our group of 130+ people. The staff was amazing. The venue had private entrances for our event. The food and drinks were amazing! The kids loved the arcade. They took dietary restrictions very seriously…

How do you not stop by to check out the live alligators!? This place is quirky and super fun!! They have youngling gators, albino gators, and older gators. I learned a lot about them! It’s definitely an experience worth stopping in for!!

This place is so cool. Live gators (you can feed them and get a picture with them), good food and drinks. Souvenirs etc. it’s a tourist trap in the best way. This is what fun Florida is all about….

This was such a fun place. Delicious food and a free alligator show. There is so much to explore here. The people who work there are bright and welcoming and there is a decently sized gift shop too. I highly recommend visiting.
