    Chili Soup - Cup
    Apple S.

    I ordered take out from this place and it didn't work the first few times but then it did and I did not even notice yet. I went inside and made an in person order instead. Staff was super friendly. The order made in person was more expensive than via yelp. When we realized I had a double one they had no issue canceling one. The food was pretty good. This was a basic salad and a cup of chili so for a meal under $10 I was pretty impressed. Especially the chili was excellent, not watery but nice thick and flavorful. So was the salad with a large amount of dressing on the side. All the girls working in the front were so amazing.

    Half Rack of Ribs - Half, French Fries, Tater Tots, garlic toast

    We went on a Monday night at 6:30 and were seated right away. It was decently busy due to their endless bone-in wings deal on Mondays. Our server was friendly and the food was served in a timely manner, including the continuous orders of wings. The atmosphere was slightly loud, but we were outside, so I'm not sure if inside is better. I ordered the half rack of ribs with fries and tater tots. The ribs were alright, nice flavor, but there was little pieces of bone in the meat that I kept having to pick out. Also was a small struggle to get meat off the bone. The fries were good and so was the ranch though ranch is an up charge. The tater tots probably were from a freezer bag of premade tots, evident from their texture and flavor (or lack thereof). My meal also came with garlic toast but it was incredibly salty. My husband loved the endless wings and enjoyed trying all the different flavors! I would come back for the endless wings deal and probably wouldn't order the ribs or tater tots again. If you're looking for a place to go on a random week night to feed your whole family or to watch a game this place is probably a great place to check out!

    Cheesesteak and fries - good!

    Diverse menu, amazing location, lots of TVs for sports, and prices are reasonable. I'd like to try more of the menu before passing judgement, but this place is a neighborhood asset and deserves recognition and my repeat visits to see the hockey playoffs. Trivia nights look fun also.

    The evidence...yuck

    Pulled in off the bike path and oh my..... Cold stale greasy chips and the worst club sandwich I have ever eaten. Flavorless toasted white bread with bland pressed ham and turkey, flavorless cheese, shredded lettuce and flavorless tomato. I suspect low quality ingredients as I could have been eating fake food display with similar enjoyment. On the plus side the bartender was a sweet person and very attentive.

    I will forever come here for gators basketball games!! Not only was this establishment extremely cooperative when I was on a last minute hunt for a reservation for 10 people during the final March madness game, the food was phenomenal! The atmosphere provided alone was amazing. The beer towers are also extremely affordable & fun! *apparently their Buffalo chicken is just fried chicken, not necessarily covered in Buffalo just fyi!

    My go to spot for buffalo wings. The food is consistently good. I love the spicy garlic wings. Also, Monday nights are all you can eat wings.

    First time coming here after living in Florida for 8 years although I've had take out before. Typical sports bar atmosphere and food. Friday night it wasn't too crowded...food was good and service was good as well.

    I've always been a fan of Gator's Dockside, but my recent experience at the Baldwin location was incredibly disappointing. The nachos came out cold and barely had any toppings. We also ordered the loaded fries, which were topped with unmelted sprinkle cheese--it wasn't even warm enough to melt the cheese! The wings were over-fried, and I was served a glass of wine that was a completely different brand than what I ordered--it tasted awful. To make matters worse, our server was absent for most of the meal. I had to track her down three different times just to order additional food. While I didn't want to make a scene in front of the couple we were dining with, the lack of quality in the food and service was extremely frustrating. This is such a great location in a wonderful area, but we spent a lot of money and left feeling ripped off and disgusted with a tummy ache. Gator's Dockside Baldwin, you need to do better.

    This is where we meet with the Orlando, Auburn University club and watch games together... Super fun atmosphere great service. Delicious wings.

    A local place to watch the game and have a few drinks to escape the heat. Food is normal bar food and the staff is super friendly. Cool theme as well.

    Was taking a trip down memory lane having lived in the Baldwin Park area before it had been developed. Needed a bite to eat and stopped by here. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area, so I had to park a couple blocks away. Upon arrival, I requested to sit outside. They have an outside patio across from Lake Baldwin. Many people were outside with their dogs on the patio. (Inside had a strong chemical cleaner smell.) TVs are located inside and outside playing sports, and there are some games inside, too. Typical sports bar feel. Server was friendly and quick with bringing water, drinks, and food. Snacked on their Signature Mushrooms to start. Then had a Gyro. Both were ok and standard. Place was busy and seems a popular neighborhood hangout.

We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend for a special night out.

Made a reservation for 7 p.m. Arrived a bit early and had to kill some time at the bar, as they were only seating on-time. I ordered an espresso martini, which looked more like a shot than a cocktail. It wasn't great. Not the right consistency. Weak color. Once seated at our table, my party of 3 ordered 2 apps. We all agreed the Ceviche was the most bland we have ever tasted. Served sans lime wedges, which might have helped, but not much. The Crush Puppies were also meh. Rather small portion that appeared to be fried a bit too long. The other cocktail I ordered from their bar menu (grilled cheese and pickle one) was again miniature-looking. Our entrées were a step up from our apps, at least. I was very disappointed that my top pick, the Cioppino, had just sold out. Guess that was a popular dish on Mother's Day. My daughter's Truffle Bucatini had a satisfying flavor. Service was fine. The hostess, however, wasn't all that friendly or helpful. The interior is nicely styled and has an upscale feel with verdant plants tucked here and there. The central bar has an enticing vibe. Overall though, it was an expensive outing that failed to impress us.

The steak frites are just as magnificent as my boyfriend and I remembered. Have you ever had a food memory? Years ago, my dad made the best steak I've ever had. He passed away when I was a kid, and two summers ago, when I took my first bite of the steak here, my mouth watered... but so did my eyes. It was one of the strangest, most beautiful experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. For a moment, it felt like Dad was sitting at the table with us. To taste something so familiar, something I hadn't experienced in over twenty years, was surreal. That's not a compliment I hand out lightly. So we each had that For this visit, we started with the rock shrimp tacos, and they absolutely did not disappoint. They packed a nice little kick without overwhelming the dish, and we practically inhaled them. Of course, we had to finish the meal the same way we did last time: with churros. Somehow they were even better than we remembered. Crispy, warm, perfectly sweet, exactly the kind of dessert that makes you argue over who gets the last bite. My boyfriend ordered two Old Fashioneds, and I had two Cosmos. Both were delicious and definitely generous on the pour. I was a little concerned when we arrived for our 8:00 p.m. reservation because the place was PACKED for a Thursday night. We ended up waiting a bit past our reservation time. The hostess suggested we grab a drink at the bar, but that area was just as crowded, so we hung out in the lobby instead. The wait ended up being completely worth it because we were seated at the exact table I was secretly hoping for: the most perfect little corner window booth, straight out of a movie scene. It was the ideal setting for our last night of vacation. And then there was our server, Anton. Anton could teach a master class on waiting tables. He was efficient, funny, attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. In a world where great service sometimes feels like a lost art, Anton was an absolute delight. The Ravenous Pig delivered once again: phenomenal food, excellent cocktails, memorable service, and one of those meals you'll still be talking about long after you've gone home. We can't wait for our next trip to Orlando and our next visit back.

The snapper collar tacos were the star of the show. Easily enough to share between two people, with fresh fish and really good homemade corn tortillas. The fish of the day was also excellent and the fresh ciabatta with garlic butter was hard to stop eating. The cauliflower appetizer missed the mark a bit for me, the pieces were a little too big and came out slightly undercooked. The chicken salad was just alright, nothing bad but nothing memorable either. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but the complimentary valet makes it much easier. I love that they have a quicker option out back with the beer garden, you can't go wrong!
