I love BBQ and eat quite a lot of it. I can tell you that this place had some of the worst ribs I've ever eaten. Very tough, lacked flavor, and generally looked poorly. The brisket wasn't horrible, but not very good either. The cooks do not know how to cut brisket for sure. Bottom half was tender but top half was cut with the grain which made it very tough. Also took longer to get food than BBQ place should have taken. Will definitely not be eating here again

I ordered the chicken and St. Louis ribs with collard greens and red beans and rice the collard greens was under cooked, the chicken was under cooked when asked for another chicken the waitress said they smoked the chicken for 11 hours which was clearly a lie because it was still pink inside. I will not recommend this place to my worst enemy..

Food was ok. I'd not make it back here just for a meal. The atmosphere was clean with plenty of open space and TVs, yet not loud so everyone can still have a conversation without shouting. 3-stars for this yet the waiter brought it up to 4-stars. "Nick" was very attentive, always made certain drinks were topped, and made everyone feel positive.

This is long, and I never leave reviews, but this place needed it:We got seated immediately. There were six or seven tables that were occupied, so not busy at all. Our server was very nice, and very friendly. We ordered Nachos and it took 30 minutes to come out. We ordered our food at the same time and it took an hour to get it. People who were seated way before us got their food before us. We almost walked out. Our food was very good, except for the Mac and cheese and baked beans. Tasted so gross and they had red beans in the baked beans. The waiter told us that Texas toast was served with the 1/2 pound brisket and it was only one little slice. This place as so much potential, but they need to improve their menu and wait staff.

It was an awesome experience especially the drinks, I recommend the voodoo hurricane. Food was very flavorful only thing us the kitchen staff brought out fried okra instead of crab cakes we ordered, a d I asked for my steak medium with pink but no blood and my 20oz porterhouse came well done , sent it back twice and was still wrong. Otherwise it was a great date night rest of food and appetizers was good I loved the gator bites my hubby ordered!

Several of us ordered different items, we all agreed the various meat items where all dry. One person did feel the wings were good however.

Service was very slow. Salad, appetizer, and main course all came out at the same time. There were only 4 tables occupied in the entire restaurant while we had our lunch.

Place was clean however.

The food was great. HOWEVER watch your receipt.... They automatically add the tip if over 8 people and don't tell you. If using a credit card keep your receipt because they run it through for more after you are gone. We were there and put a large tip on the table. We got the credit card slip to sign and there it was another tip was added. Then when you question it they get kinda rude. When you look at the credit card statement and see they ran it through for $45 dollars more than what your bottom line was with the tip shows on your receipt you call and they say they will credit it back right away and apologize. WELL its over a week later and no credit yet. When a place makes you file a credit card dispute to recover a very obvious OVER CHARGE THAT WAS NOT AUTHORIZED.
IT MAKES YOU WANT TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD.

While traveling on vacation, our crew wanted BBQ. After looking on line this looked like a good place. It was by far our best meal while in town. We were immediately greeted by our server, Chris. He said I ll take great care of you, and boy did he ever.
The adult drinks were strong, appetizers were delicious, our meals were huge portions and very tasty. The pulled pork was tender and juicy, the burger was hand pattied with fresh cut bacon, wings were tasty, and the steak was out of this world. However, the Fried Cheesecake is where it was at! No disappointment here!
And the prices were a nice treat considering we have been paying park food prices.

The worst experience ever, and the only reason I gave it 1 star was because it won't let me give it zero stars. Our waiter John was super nice and tried to accommodate our entire party, I think he really felt bad that they had no brisket or turkey so I settled for the chicken and ribs combo. The ribs were so tough, they were like shoe leather. The chicken was ice cold in the middle so I didn't even attempt to eat it. No one in our party cared for the pulled pork, they described it as all fat. We went here 5 years ago and it was phenomenal, but I guess things change and so do resteraunts. Needless to say not a great place to eat while we are on vacation and now my family won't allow me to pick the place to eat dinner anymore after this one.

Awesome bbq. I always worry about the bbq sauce. This was great! Portion sizes huge. Pulled pork,brisket and ribs were wonderful! Half chicken needed to cook a little longer for me. Pay no attention to other negative reviews. We will be back

Great food, great service. Fall off the bones ribs,great pulled pork. Kids and us enjoyed so much we came back the next day.
Beer was cheaper then come!(2 pints for $4!)
Go for St Louis style ribs that were more meaty, tender and beautifully smoked!

A great barbecue spot just minutes away from Animal Kingdom. Very affordable and generous portions for each of our selections. Friendly staff, no wait and out food was out within 10 minutes. Family friendly.

Great sides! But the worst BBQ brisket I've ever had. Super dry and no flavor. Husband had the ribs and he said they were okay. Definitely not worth the price. Would be a great fast food BBQ, but for the quality of the food here. You're better off going to Sonny's for the same quality and more than half the price.

Do not listen to the bad reviews. I was hesitant to go after reading them but I went and it was great. Very friendly waiter, food was delicious,and arrived fast. Of all the restaurants we went to while on a week vacation in Orlando this was by far our favorite!! Definitely a awesome place to eat.!

Nothing against this place, just not really my cup of tea (British expression).. i don't drink alcohol so only came here for the food, but the menu was quite limited. I'd recommend it for someone looking for a drink and some food and to watch some sports, on the many tv's. But if you are just looking for somewhere to eat, there are plenty of better options.

We stopped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised at the service we received. Our waiter was so good, he was knowledgeable of the menu items and after listening to us, suggested the perfect meal combo for us. The food was fantastic, the ribs (beef) that my friend had were fall off the bone tender. I had the b-b-que chicken, delish. Even the sides were good, potato salad like homemade, coleslaw, I didn't try the baked beans but my friend says they were great. We don't have a wildside where I live but I will definitely be looking out for them when I travel.

We got there early and still waited over a hour for our food and the place was not busy. Asked to speak to the manager and they did not come to our table. Did take 10% off. Food was room temperature and nothing from our group was a special order. Would not recommend. Will not be going back.

WARNING DO NOT EAT HERE!!!This is the worst service I have ever had the manager Eric has a horrible attitude. First off they were out of potatoes! Then I ordered a pulled pork sandwich they brung out my tables food and then told me that there was no PORK! Why wait to tell me they messed up my tables ribeyes they asked for well done and they got burnt. The ribs were pink and tasted like old hot dog water! The ribeyes went back twice ! The manager Eric talked extremely rude to us. NO STARS!! DO NOT EAT HERE AT ALL!

We ordered the sirloin with Mac n cheese. Both were in need of spices, as they were very bland. The cut of steak itself was not very good either. The place was clean and the staff was great. Not worth the money, way too expensive for the quality of food.

Appitizer's were cold, no plates provided. Food took forever to arrive in a 1/4 full resturant. Wait was blamed on kitchen. Food was good. Had to track down the waiter for the check. Service is key to happy return customers!

Saw my waiter 3 times and one of them was to inform him that he had gotten our tickets entirely wrong. Some of our sides were forgotten even though we asked about them and my family and I waited and hour for food that was improperly cooked and had definelty been frozen beforehand. Terrible seasoning choices but I will say that my waiter did have to take care of half of the establishment and apologized thoroughly for the poor service.

Service was good and food was good. Drinks were cold and the TVs had something for everyone. The burger with brisket, caramelized onions, bacon lettuce and pickles on was really good! Plenty of food! Wife got the ribs and they were really good. Daughter got the wings and enjoyed them. All in all, I would recommend!

Dined in for dinner. Ordered potato skins for an appetizer, 2 BlackBerry iced teas, an apple juice for my daughter, a kid's chicken tender w/ fries, and 2 pulled pork platters- one with mac & cheese & corn bread and the other with coleslaw & cornbread. I ordered the kid's meal with the appetizer & drinks because my daughter tends to be a slow eater. The potato skins came out and we were told her meal would be out shortly. One potato skin in and our pulled pork platters arrived but no kid's meal. Hmm. Took 5 minutes for anyone to check on us, and when our waitress walked by she noticed the kid's meal wasn't brought out yet and she immediately went to the kitchen. A few minutes later she comes to the table with just 3 chicken tenders and no side of fries. They needed to make some fresh. No problem. A few minutes later the fries are delivered. My daughter was happy. As we are about to dig in to the pulled pork platter (which is actually just an open faced pulled pork sandwich) we notice there is no bbq sauce anywhere to be seen. Kinda strange for a bbq restaurant. A minute later our waitress brings 3 small plastic disposable ramekins with sauce in them- 2 sweet & 1 spicy. The sauces were very good and I'd have liked to have just a little more. None of the food on the pulled pork platters was even warm. It was all served to us room temperature. The mac & cheese was NOT good in either taste or texture. The cornbread was dry but tasted good. My husband said the coleslaw was bland. Then the most ridiculous part- the check comes and not only is a flavored iced tea $4 a piece, but they charge $1 per refill! The apple juice was $3. I was flabbergasted seeing they charge for beverage refills! The food was just ok, and the service was also just ok. We will find another bbq restaurant because there is no real value to dining here again.
