Different? Yes, for sure. A bit pricey but WELL worth it. Surrounded by a travel trailer park on one side and the Braden River and OLD FLORIDA on the other. Loved it. I mentioned to our server that the gator bites were too small to suit me yet tasty. Loved the frog legs, Catfish too was flavorful. Our first visit, almost locals, we will LINGER here again. Dang that's a big gator mount and many other fun to see displays. Great server too.

Awesome place off the highway in Bradenton along part of the Manatee river. Super cool and interesting decor. Showcases of animals that had been taxidermy! Lots of snakes, and their eggs, an opossum, bobcats, coyote, fox, etc. We were amazed at the screened in outdoor eating area, very spacious with fans and a nice breeze! Next time, we will sit indoors for the experience. Make a reservation, or you might be waiting. It was Sunday and they were open until 9:00 pm. We drove all the way down from Seminole, and it was worth the drive! Great food and service!!

Ok. I loved this place. I'll be going back next time I'm in town. The good: gator chowder fantastic! Frog legs will make you rethink ever having a reason to eat chicken ever again. Less good: pitcher of Yeungling was not very cold and was flat. Gator bites were very tough(I've only had them a few times where they weren't) Server was not on top of her game, but also wasn't awful or anything. Very few visits to the table, seemed a little rushed. Very cool local spot on the river that is unique and I think shouldn't be missed!

I do not give 5 stars But ! Nothing can be said . Kimmy out waitress was fun and covered all the bases. I hade the Catfish Frog legs and Gator .with greens and a smoked baked potato. My date had a Huge BBQ sandwich with BBQ beans. Ice tea never empty. The restaurant was spotless All this with it being a full house with a group of 40+' setting across from us . I had my doubts as it being a lodge as Big Ceader and top of the Rock letting me down . Linger Lodge Restaurant is great for date night or gatherings. I believe a hidden Gem . Thank you for a great Dinning experience.
