Located south of Arcadia, Florida at the confluence of the Peace River and Deep Creek is the Nav-A-Gator Bar and Grill. This out of the way/off the beaten path bar and grill is the only type of place of its kind in a remote section of Desoto County.
Their motto is “Where the road ends & the adventure begins” the Nav-A-Gator offers a true, old Florida experience from their dishes featuring fresh gator meat to the family-friendly, pet-friendly atmosphere. They are a place you go to eat, drink, sit back, and relax with the whole family.
Not only is it dog friendly its also a dockside restaurant so you can arrive by boat, canoe or kayak and it is also a great place for fantastic food and service. The dog friendly dining is outside and we were impressed that standard service includes a special stainless steel water bowl for your favorite K-9 to refresh themselves with. In fact there were a stack of them by the door and the waitresses brought it to your table before asking for your drink order, so dogs do get preference.
The menu is primarily seafood with some burgers and sandwiches for the land lovers. Entertainment is available weekly at special times. There are weekly food item specials and drink specials. Takeout is available.
