Jupiter, Fla. – A fresh seafood
display, a raw bar, tiki hut and live musical entertainment are just
some of the things to come at the new R.J. Gator’s location set for
Sarasota.
Terry Jones and Jerry Milne, franchisee partners for the new site,
which will be located at 351 North Cattleman Road (near the
intersection of I-75 and Fruitville), are also owners of the Bradenton
R.J. Gator’s that opened in 2002.
“We are often approached by guests at our Bradenton location who
have driven from Sarasota to eat at the restaurant,” said Jones.
“We’re excited to be opening in Sarasota so we can bring R.J. Gator’s
great food, fun dining experience and cool atmosphere to our new
guests.”
Housed in the former Johnny Leverock’s Seafood House location, the
latest R.J. Gator’s will begin conversion of the building in early
December. A late February to early March mark has been set for
the grand opening.
Situated on a small lake, the restaurant will feature an outdoor deck
lit by tiki torches and an indoor-outdoor bar. There will also be
a large tiki hut in the main dining area, surrounded by palm trees, in
a Florida Keys/Everglades décor. Guests will enjoy live Jimmy
Buffet-style musical entertainment on the weekends.
Mr. Tim Timoteo, who founded R.J. Gator’s in 1986, came to Florida from
Pennsylvania, where he owned a successful chain of steakhouses.
Searching for a concept that would stand out among the others, he
created a casual Florida-style restaurant with a hometown atmosphere
and a Caribbean-influenced menu.
As the company experiences this significant growth, its menu is also
evolving from wings and sandwiches to a seafood grill with market fresh
fish and steaks. R.J. Gator’s is now known for signature menu
items like the Alligator Tail, Havana Banana Chicken with black beans
and rice and Handmade Coconut Shrimp with sweet plantains. In
addition, most new locations feature a raw bar and signature drinks,
such as the Alligator Alley Punch.
