You may be able to take a photo with a gator at other local attractions, but not all of them have a BBQ restaurant with a gator on the menu. As you walk through the Gator Park, which you get free admission to with your Everglades airboat ride, your little ones may start to get a bit hungry. We have a BBQ restaurant with a pavilion-style outdoor setting overlooking the beautiful Lake Cypress.
The Chomp House Grill offers plenty of food options for the entire family. Our Executive Chef ensures every meal is prepared to perfection. Choose from a fresh, juicy burger to tasty pork tacos, then pick up a sweet treat like ice cream or one of our signature desserts.
