This is one of our favorite BBQ restaurant in Orlando. Not only can you bring dogs or pets they have great food. Everything we try we really enjoy. Our favorite is the BBQ chicken salad. They also have a great selection of beers. It's a great place to go grab a beer, have a bite to eat, and relax outside.

YUM! Try their version of a Cuban sandwich, the best!

This is by far one of the best places to get wings. Forget the little skinny wings you will get most everywhere else, these things are huge. Go in after a rough day at work and the friendly staff will welcome you with a nice attitude and a cold beer.

If you consider this the best barbecue in town you have some serious issues. Great location? Certainly. But not best barbecue by far, try Cecil's if you want good 'cue, may not be the most trendy part of town but if you want good barbecue that's where it's at. Although, I will say I've never had the chicken salad and I will try it sometime just to be fair.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. It's easy to enjoy their delicious food and the patio is nice for people watching. The service is always mediocre, or I would have given it 5 stars.

I enjoy the atmosphere. The food is good and reasonably priced.

i think they have good bbq here: better than most, but not the "best". I like to get the sampler (it's a LOT of food), but I like to have the extra to take home. They also make a killer margarita. The burgers are pretty good too.

If you want serious BBQ, sure, head out to Cecil's or my personal favorite O'Boys. However, Wildside remains one of my favorite haunts for its interesting menu and great ambience. I'm a devoted consumer of Wildside's incredible BBQ chicken quesadillas with steak fries. My wife is equally devoted to their seared tuna salad. Their fried gator tail bites are a savory appetizer too. Plus, you can't beat bringing your dog to lunch while people-watching along one of Thornton Park's main avenues. Wildside conveniently has water-mist fans for the hot summer too. Overall, it's a great lunch spot.

-- Kitty I went to this place for my birthday a few years ago and It was a lively atmosphere. It is in a great location and had friendly staff. The calamari was amazing.
