I no longer live in Wheeling, but I always make it a point to come back and eat at Later Gator when I’m in town! The food is always delicious, the wait staff is friendly and helpful, and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. Our last visit even included some live folk music to accompany dinner. Definitely one of the best places to get food and drink in Wheeling.
We were there for dinner today on the patio with a group of 15. We absolutely loved the atmosphere. The waitress was absolutely outstanding. The food was superb. I definitely highly recommend this place!!!
Went in tonight as an early birthday dinner, and of course the food was fantastic! Wanted to mention our wonderful server, Cynthia, who did such an amazing job! Not only was she great throughout the night, but when we were finished, it took a moment for her to get back to us with the check (which was totally cool and not at all a big deal), but she felt bad and gave us a free dessert crepe on the house! (The strawberry moon is also amazing, just an fyi � !) we could not have asked for a better server and will be returning on Monday for more! Fabulous place�
We sat outside, on the second of july. There were some fireworks going off. very nice day out too. I got the "Blueberry hill" Sweet crepe, and a steak salad. My sister got a "salon says" savor crepe. My sister also got two drinks with some lemonade and with some alcohol in it. She said they were good.
Had a amazing waitress. Overall 12/10 experience 💚
Later Alligator was AWESOME. We went there to try the crepes but left with so much more. The spot has a unique look and history you can read about on the menu and throughout the restaurant. The crepes were AMAZING and the cocktails were as well. Lots of fun crepe combinations and unique cocktails to try for an adventurous eater. The Cajun coleslaw was some of the best coleslaw I’ve ever had. Please make a Cajun fried chicken and coleslaw crepe 🤤 Great atmosphere, Great Service, Great Food - only “neutral” observation is it was busy even at 11:30am which is great for their business! Just make sure you know they are popular and might hit a wait time or have trouble getting large groups in.
Cute little eatery. Have some beers and cocktails to choose from. Only got one crepe to split and a small side since we were going to another place to try their food as well while in the area. Will be back, food was really good, cocktail was decent, and the decor is super cool.
Good food, great service. Really unique place to eat. Loved all the names of the menu items and looking around and the interesting decor. I ordered the last tango crepes with ice cream, which were delicious!
I've spent years traveling through and to random spots in West Virginia. Later Alligator is a multi-faceted gem: good food, a history lesson, a personal culinary story, fresh ingredients on a thoughtful menu (not everyone can eat a hearty roast beef sandwich) and it's easy to get to from the highway.
The See Sam Run crepe was delicious. Made with Alaskan Salmon, as described on the menu, it hits all the markers for a good crepe. The amount of salmon was generous. The bechemel was buttery, but not too thick or oily. The sprinkle of scallions complimented a hint of dill somewhere in the mix. I appreciated the proper tea service (my own ceramic pot & mug, perfect water temperature and a broad selection by Republic of Tea).
I will remember Later Alligator and hope to return.
I noticed Later Alligator on my Maps "Explore" tab and decided to give it a try - I must say that I'm very glad about that. 🐊
Located in a historic downtown building, the space has tons of character. The vibe is relaxed and many Wheeling Steel relics adorn the walls and other spots throughout the dining area. There are patios front and rear, so there's plenty of options for outdoor dining.
I ordered the Strawberry Brie Zze... It sounded so good - fresh strawberries, basil, Brie and deli turkey with jalapeno strawberry jelly 😲 It arrived at the table hot and fresh with golden crusty bread, lots of gooey Brie and plenty of turkey! However, the sandwich had hardly any strawberries inside and the jelly had no noticeable jalapeno kick. The chips and pickle were both good. I enjoyed my cocktail - A Long Island Iced Tea from thei5 menu. It was definitely better than a premixed drink, but nothing great to set it apart.
Later Alligator offers a downtown location with lots of seating and dining options, friendly service and quality food. I'll visit again and hope that I can get a strawberry filled sandwich, upon my return! 🍓
Can't say enough about this place! An eclectic mix of amazing foods including crepes and sandwiches topped with eggs. A creative mix of flavored drinks tops it all off.
