Stopped in on a Monday for their all you can eat special. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very nice and prompt with getting our orders in. The special is a great deal and there is plenty of seating throughout the space. It's a sports bar with many TVs throughout. read more

My boyfriend and I love coming on Mondays for the AYCE wings. This location always has quick service and all the sports on TV. It's casual, it's a chain but their chicken wings are so damn good. read more

Gator's Dockside Baldwin Park - Buffalo chicken wings - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

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. read more

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! read more

It's just ok. Service was good and the site itself has some merit. We ordered wings and got two varieties. The wings overall had good flavor but were very, very small. The blue cheese was good too. My wife had a couple of beers and she was happy with them. I had ice water and the waitress did a good job of keeping it filled for me. over all it was MEH. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I enjoyed my visit. I sat at the bar and the bar staff was friendly. Place was clean with lots of tvs playing sports. I had a vodka cran with fries as a snack. Not sure how you can mess that up. I will be back I regret I hadn't come sooner. I live in the area and walk by all the time. It's a typical sports bar and I enjoyed the time I spent there. read more

I went after meeting with the walk/run club across the street. It was a last minute decision with a friend. The drinks were mid. The food was nothing to write home about, but the service was amazing.

Service sucks. I sat out a table for 20 minutes and couldn't even get a drink order. I used to come here 2 to 3 times a week and because the quality of the service and the quality of food has gone downhill I hardly ever come in this place anymore. My go to used to be the cheeseburger, but your cooks don't know the difference between raw and burnt medium should be medium slightly pink in the middle, not raw and not burnt. read more

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. read more

Gotta have gator bites! Our server Sydney said we were in the right place for them. Having lived in the southeastern US previously and visiting the area we just had to get some of our favorite Cajun treat. Beers were cold, her service was attentive and caring, and the food showed up piping hot. Plenty of TVs if you're there for the game, space away from the bar if you bring the family. Ask for Sydney, she'll take great care of you. read more

This particular Gator's Dockside is a great location situated in Baldwin Park. This is truly a great location and I am sure that other Gator's Dockside locations are quite envious of this location. The staff here are friendly and professional and only added to the overall experience. The menu here is centered around bar type food options (or if you prefer the term "pub grub"), but they do this food options justice and the food is pretty tasty. I have always enjoyed their Buffalo wings and the hamburgers are also something that I would recommend. Gator's Dockside is a great Florida chain of restaurants with quite a few locations (according to their website, they have twenty-seven locations throughout the Sunshine State). This particular Gator's Dockside is a great location and I would definitely recommend this location. read more

The food here is average at best. The location is great but the food is boring. I suspect a lot of items are bought premade from the grocery and just reheated. Save yourself the trip and buy the same frozen food from the store and cook it at home. read more

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. read more

Gators Dockside is the perfect place to watch some sports, grab a cheap beer and have some appetizers. The entree food not super stellar but then again what sports bar is? Come for the appetizers (fried pickles, fried cauliflower, wings) and a drink and you won't be disappointed! The service is always super great and prompt! read more

Great location, and fun. But could the food be any worse? Hard to imagine--could it be less healthy? Doubtful.

This restaurant/bar truly represents Florida in a nutshell. It's your typical American cuisine and sports bar. The wings claim to be the best... and we were not disappointed. The wings were so delicious and fresh! It was so tender that the meat fell off the bone. We went during happy hour which saved us a lot of money. We ordered the 10 bone-in sweet BBQ wings and the 8 boneless traditional Buffalo. Both come with fries, and their fries were banging! We ordered plenty of drinks: cucumber martini, whiskey peach, paloma, and margarita. It was our mistake to sit outside during Florida summer heat. I wish there were more fans outside that would have made it more comfortable and we would have stayed longer. Best part was that you can pay remotely. They come with their automatic swiper... but the tip options are too high starting at 18%. You can adjust your tip however. read more

It was my first time coming to this sports bar... I liked the atmosphere because it's very family friendly, it even has a beach vibe. When I got there, there were several games playing at the same time in many TV's, so it was nice that everyone could watch what they wanted in the same place. We order some drinks and wings, probably one of the best wings when it comes to sports bar (the honey sauce is great)! The service was great, and I think I will definitely come back for a football game to watch it with some friends for next time. The view was also a highlight of this place, my husband and his friends told me that when he gets cooler outside the outside porch is even better (so note that for the fall). I will only recommend to get here with time, since parking can be challenging. read more

This Gators has been our go to spot on Fridays because it's convenient and the food is ok (wings are really only the menu item I like) . But yesterday's visit was the last. After being seated, the greeter forgot to advise the wait staff that we were sat, so we didn't see anyone for a bit to take our orders. Which seemed odd since the place was about empty. However, when our server did arrive, we could tell that she did not want to be there. After ordering, which included two appetizers, we waited about 25 minutes until the food arrived including the appetizers with the meals. Normally the appetizers come before the meals? Unfortunately my Wife's order was wrong (who puts raw mushrooms on a burger), the food was cold and the mozzarella sticks and fries may have been cooked in old oil, yuck! Not sure what happened to this restaurant. I normally could overlook the freezing temperatures, because my family liked setting, but lately it has gone downhill and I noticed this last time I did not recognize anyone from our previous visits. Wish you all well, but help is needed. read more

Food was decent and servers were great. The manager is extremely rude and will be the downfall of this location. If the owner of the location reads this you should reconsider who the face of your store is. read more

I went with a few friends, already knowing most of the reviews were less than favorable, but we still decided to give it a chance. The parking wasn't bad to find, and the area is really nice. I ordered sweet tea, the waiter comes out with cup of almost clear liquid, I take a sip and it's pretty much just sugar water. I got the Cajun chicken Alfredo as the entree. I was served a pile of noodles in cheese grease with sliced chicken on top. The chicken was good, didn't taste Cajun seasoned at all though. The sauce was basically melted Parmesan and grease. I ate a few bites before it was too much. It was also very loud, which was to be expected from a sports bar but the TV volume was bordering on too much. The waiter was nice, although the service was rather slow, even though there weren't many people there at all. read more

Located close to the lake in Baldwin Park they are a good option for burgers, wings, and the like. They have a full bar offering, as well as, happy hour if you come at the right time. I recommend sitting outside so you can enjoy the water view, but it can get warm if the day is hot. I'm a fan of their salads, burgers, and wings. These are all good options for a meal. They do have a kids menu that come with crayons and games on the paper mat. Overall: A Good choice for American style food next to the water. read more

We decided to order some fish and chips my husband was in the mood for them. Of course I said let's try a new place and see what else they have available! We came across Gators Dockside on Uber eats. They had some good reviews on Uber and here on Yelp it was a hit or miss. It just depends I guess on everyone and their experience, ours was great. The wings were very tasty and cooked! Fries were nice and crunchy! Which is what I loved the most. The fish was good, I do wish it was a little more crunchy but since it was Uber eats of course it got cold and soggy, I had to put it in the air fryer. The brownie was delicious!! No complains there. I will definitely look at going to their restaurant next time! read more

We have always loved Gator's Wings, grilled with scooter sauce. While ours today were served piping hot, they seemed bland. We also ordered celery with bleu cheese. We were served old stalks with brown edges and ends. Even our server said "that's retarded." He replaced them, but still! My margarita with an extra shot was strong but lacked a good balance of all the other ingredients. If I wanted straight tequila I would ordered that. The view though! It's worth the mediocre food. And our server and host were friendly and efficient. read more

We were weary of coming here because of potential limited food options at a sports bar. We came with friends and next door restaurants had very long waits so this was one of our only options without having to drive somewhere else. The girl who sat us asked if the table directly next to another party was okay, I asked if we could have the next one. Later on, a party was sat directly behind us. This was a strange seeing as almost the whole restaurant was empty. In conclusion, not everyone here was trying to distance their customers. Pleasantly surprised to see Veggie Boneless Wings, Beyond Burger and Veggie Rice Bowl on the menu! Husband ordered Beyond Burger but the server said they were unfortunately not serving that anymore and are in the process of updating their menus. We both ordered the Veggie Wings. I asked the server what they were made of (soy protein). They turned out to just be veggie nuggets tossed in sauce your choosing. Comes with ranch or blue cheese dressing. We asked for neither. :) Overall, it was okay and I'm happy there were other foods besides burgers and chicken tenders! It was very clean and spacious inside as well. read more

I ordered the black and bleu burger with swiss cheese. It was good- not great, not bad. I tried to go a little healthier and not get fries. I asked what the seasoned vegetables were and I was told steamed carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. I ordered that on the side. That was NOT the vegetables they brought me. Instead it was a bowl that included corn and minced onions and peas. I should've gotten the french fries! So I wasn't happy about that. I tried a new beer and drank about half of it before I was pretty convinced the beer was old or stale. I went inside to check out the draft beers and they have a decent selection. I ordered a different beer. The toasted lager was on point... blue point! Hahaha. I still got charged for the stale, old beer though. C'mon Gators! What's up with that!? read more

Popped by here since I was around the area. Checked out a few other places down the road before hand but settled on this place due to the variety of food available. There were people waiting outside so we made the mistake of joining the queue and was given a buzzer. Was told 10-20 minutes wait. Decided to take a chance and wait anyway. It was definitely more than a 20 minute wait. When we were finally called in, we were told that it will still be a bit slow for our food. They were definitely right about that. Only ordered small dishes with the hope it would come out faster. Was wrong about that as we still waited another 30 minutes for our combo platter and fries to come out. It took us 15 minutes to demolish the food since overall we'd waited nearly an hour (and I was getting a bit hangry by then) from putting our name down to getting the food. Don't get me wrong, the food we ordered was decent. The fries were nice and crunchy and very good value for $2.99. The only downfall is the wait time, so don't come here expecting to be let in and getting your food quickly. This was on a Monday though, the day after New Year's Day where some people probably had time off work and was most likely a bit more busier than usual. read more

I come here for the wings and the wings only. Gators is a classic towny bar, which isn't a bad thing. The same type of people are going to be sitting at the bar, the service is going to be decent and the food is fairly consistent. I say fairly cus that's my only gripe , I want my wings done well and that seems to change every time I order. Will I go back? Of course I will. You always go back to the towny bar. read more
