    BBQ Cauliflower
    Jason E.

    Delicious! Friendly! Festive! It wasn't what I was expecting. We're were really looking for a sit down waiter/waitress restaurant, and this wasn't that. But thankfully we didn't leave, it was so good! I had the brisket burnt ends, a side of bbq cauliflower, and an additional side of the Brussel sprouts. OMG it was all so good. It was quick to order, and it didn't take long for the food to come out. I can't wait to go back.

    Updated review since we just went again last night. There was a long line outside, but it moved at a decent pace. The staff was all friendly and still super knowledgeable. This time I was very underwhelmed by the food. The ribs were tough and chewy. They did not fall off the bone at all. The brisket was also tough and chewy. I'm not sure if it's because we went later in the evening this time instead of lunch, but the food was not worth the price paid. The sides were still delicious thankfully.

    We had planned to meet friends here for dinner after we arrived in Orlando but they had to cancel their trip at the last minute. After initially picking other options instead due to how busy the area was and where we ended up having to park (Grapefruit Garage) decided to stick with this since it was much closer and had already gotten later than we originally planned to eat. On both occasions we have had to wait around 30 minutes to order. I understand why but not allowing people to sit while other members in their party are in line to order is not particularly helpful especially when you have elderly members of your group with mobility issues. As before the food is great and my wife & I were able to split the sandwich and 2 sides to be filling enough. After a long park day or otherwise particularly hungry might add a 3rd side or 2nd sandwich. Other than the seating issue and wait, it was a great experience. They have tables to accommodate large groups of 6 or 8 and outdoor seating is covered. I wish they had a mobile order option or even switch to a hybrid table service type when there is a longer line. I want to try some other options before we come back again but like it enough to return.

    First off parking.. you will have to park in the deck and walk quite a bit. The area around the restaurant is pretty busy but the way they handle orders and coordinate really helped me enjoy my dining experience. You first will have to pay and then they bring everything out to your table directly. The food did not take long at all to come out and you can sit anywhere in the restaurant that says reserved. I had a pulled pork sandwich that was delicious especially with the different sauces to add to it to choose from. I also had a whiskey flight which was delightful. When I'm back in Orlando I'll stop by!

    We have been coming here for years and make a point to eat here every time we are in town. In fact, this time we were merely driving through town and we stopped here to have lunch. The bbq cauliflower is amazing. The Brussels sprouts are the best you will ever eat. The street corn was new for us and it was very good. The brisket was a little fatty this time, but it's forgivable. We send all of our friends here too

    Bourbon pecan pie - yes this is the whole slice!!
    Elena P.

    Place has gone downhill! I go almost every year when I go to Orlando but was very disappointed this last go-round. The brisket was very dry. The burnt ends were better but possibly only because they were doused in sauce. The bourbon pecan pie was absolutely awful - cold, tiny, drizzled in honey and cinnamon (why?!) ... I didn't even finish the small portion because it was so bad. The sides were a standout and still good - great Brussels, sweet potato tots, Cole slaw and jalepeno corn bread mini muffin.

    Bar. Tap grapefruit margarita.

    Love the bourbon bar in there. Great options for bourbon and the pre mixed margarita was actually very good! Usually I don't go for those. The trio sliders were the perfect combo and cooked very well! Excellent flavor!

    Half chicken with Mac and cheese
    Isabel M.

    This casual spot gets pretty busy but luckily we were able to snag two seats at the bar. The bartenders were quick with getting our order and friendly. I opted for the half chicken and Mac and cheese. The corn bread is yummy but quite small. The chicken was juicy and the Mac and cheese had crumbled which gave it a nice added texture.

    If you're a fan of smoky, savory goodness, this BBQ hits all the right notes. The meat is tender and juicy, with just the right amount of smoke flavor. Ribs, pulled pork, or brisket each bite is flavorful. The sauces are balanced not too sweet, not overpowering, and complement the meat perfectly. The sides, like baked beans and coleslaw, Mac n cheese round out the meal nicely. it's classic BBQ done well hard to mess up hearty, flavorful, and satisfying. Perfect for a casual dinner like was long but moves fast. Was easy to get a table also don't feel overwhelmed

    My family and I love eating here. The line always seems intimidating but it moves quick. My favorites are the fried chicken sandwich and the brussels sprouts. The brussels sprouts are pretty consistent every single time I order them. Note if the table says reservation that just means that you need to order your food and then you can take a seat at the table.

    We stopped here after poking around Disney Springs and thought the menu looked good. They have your traditional meat plates and sides. We got sandwiches and they also have a deal you can get 3 sides for $17. Also have beer and bourbon flights. Meal was very good do being one of the most experience of our trip (including in the parks). The hostess sat us right away at the bar which I thought was great. The only knock was the bartenders definitely favored the locals/regulars and let them cut the line to walk right up and seat themselves. It was also very difficult ultimately to get any servers attention once we got seated.

    The Polite Pig is a very popular barbecue joint at Disney Springs, and always has a line. It's not that bad, as we entered the line when it was right outside the entrance at 8pm, and were sat within 15 minutes. They're very efficient about the ordering process; look over the menu while you're in line so that you're somewhat ready to order with the cashiers. You pay up front and are given a table number, and seat yourself. While drinks and food are delivered to you, you sauce yourself at the various sauce taps. The sauces were unique, strong, and flavorful, but the meats didn't need any. Coming from CA, I won't say I'm a BBQ connoisseur, but the barbecue here certainly tasted fantastic. The alcohol list (particularly bourbon) is varied and the drinks we had were good - especially the cocktail slushie. The butcher board (for 2) is an appealing option to try everything, as it includes pork, chicken, brisket, and sausage. You can even add on extra meat for an upcharge - we added burnt ends which was so worth it! However, it definitely made it a struggle to finish the platter between two people. The platter also comes with slaw, pickles, cornbread, and your choice of 2 sides. All of the meats were tender, moist, and had a good smokiness. We liked the brisket the best, though will continue to get the board again since every meat has its place and purpose! We were especially pleased with how good the chicken was, since that's usually our least favorite meat. The sides were also well cooked and flavored, with good texture and portions. We got the crispy brussels sprouts, which were roasted perfectly, and the fresh and creamy street corn. We were very impressed by how busy, yet quick and efficient dining here was. We were pretty much in and out (including waiting) under an hour. I'm not surprised that this is a top casual eatery with great value at Disney Springs, and I'd love to come back every time I visit.

    Sweet tea old fashioned. 2 beers and virgin pina colada.

We arrived around 5pm and we were able to pick where we sat. We sat at one of the booths and Brian was our oh so awesome server. He came over with a smile and a run down of what's good. We started with cocktails, we both ordered The Elderberry, it was perfect & so refreshing. For our entrees, we had both of the burgers on the HH menu, the Small Batch Whiskey and the Small Batch Lassahn. We also ordered The Salmon burger. For sides we had the regular fries and the Parmesan truffle fries. Everything was soooooo good. The beef burgers were seasoned so perfectly, and cooked medium as we requested. Every bite made my taste buds dance. The truffle fries were so good, I almost ordered more. The garlic aioli is a must for dipping your fries in. The Whiskey has lots of seating, tables, booths and bar seating. There's lots of pictures on the walls and tvs. It's a vibe for sure. I'm so glad we had lunch at The Whiskey and will definitely go back the next time we are in Orlando. Thanks Brian for making our experience awesome!

Happy hour was just starting or had started, but there wasn't anything on the happy hour menu that stood out to us. They had the Suncreek Brewery Strawberry ale on tap so I had a couple glasses of that. It's perfect for the summer. It's a very light and very refreshing beer. My husband drank Yuengling. We both end up getting a taster of Bourbon later on. My husband went with the six year Willet And really enjoyed it. He said it definitely got better the more that you drank. I opted for something that I've seen in the stores but haven't purchased yet. I was able to try both the dancing panda eight year as well as the dancing panda 10 year. A cheaper bottle of bourbon but definitely good flavor. The 10 was my favorite. For food, I got an order of the S & S sweet potato fries, which comes with a light caramel drizzle. These fries are cooked perfectly and so delicious. My husband got the garlic Parm wings, and while the crunch was perfect on them.(he ordered them crunchy) -he was not a fan of their garlic Parmesan sauce. It just felt like the garlic, overpowered any of the Parmesan. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and the two bartenders that were working the bar, were excellent and very attentive.

The place is very large with maybe 2/3 dedicated to cigars and the other 1/3 a sport bar type set-up with tables and a smallish bar to sit at. The two sides are, more or less, independently run. You pay for your cigars on the cigar side and pay for your drinks on the drink side. Fair enough. The cigar side has a massive amount of cigars to choose from - every brand is represented. Found my usual smoke and went to grab a cocktail to wash it down with. I grabbed a stool after the cigar side guys got me snipped and lit and ordered a cocktail from the two gals working back there. Drinks were well made and I ended up with two more before calling it a night. The place has a lot of tv's going with sports and there were a lot of high-top tables available if that is more your style. The only downside was that this place was just full of smoke- like way more than it should have been - those smoke eaters were not present at all. My clothes still smelled like cigar four days, and two washes later. Prices were fair and I had a good time outside of the smoke issue. Big parking lot in front.

We enjoyed our skull shaped monkey bread, but it was a bit dry, our cocktails came out fast and were tasty, just nothing special, and if it wasn't for our fantastic company I'd probably have skipped any other food from there. As it was the menu is good, though if you want flavorful and authentic creole cuisine you can definitely do better in town (Tibby's is a great start!) All in all, fun for a cocktail meet up and an app or two, but don't expect anything mind blowing and you certainly aren't going to impress a foodie.

It was very, very salty, to the point I had to drink water between each bite. Each element, from the tomato sauce to the potato mash to the beans were overly salted. - The lentils that made up the "meat" of the shepherds pie were not fully cooked. Lentils should be soft and mash easily, these were hard and borderline crunchy. - The meal was expensive! $27 for a single, poorly done vegetarian dish is not worth the money - There are only two vegetarian dishes, so not an ideal option for vegetarians or anyone trying to have a lighter meal. I would not consider returning here to eat. While I may have just been unlucky with what I ordered, I found the meal so poorly executed that I would not risk giving them another chance. That being said, I think this could be a great spot for drinks and listening to some music.
