Unlimited Wings at Gator’s Dockside

**Picking a Time to Go**

If you’re looking for unlimited wings, you’ll need to go on
Monday, Wednesday, or Friday nights. The deal starts around 6pm and the restaurant
is open until 2am. Depending on what kind of unlimited deal you want, you can
pick a specific day. If you don’t want unlimited wings, the rest of the food is
still great and it’s open from 11am-2am every day of the week. Mondays
specifically feature wings with bone in the center and the deal is for a little
over $11. Wednesdays are arguably the best deal with the same price for
boneless wings and fries with each order. Fridays are also the same price and
boneless wings, but fries are not included in the deal.

**Parking your Transportation**

Gator’s Dockside is just south of Waterford Lakes plaza on
Alafaya and, as can be expected, it can usually be quite crowded. Because of
this, parking may be an issue, at least depending on how much you want to walk.
On days where their unlimited deal is not on (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays,
and Sundays) Gator’s is not usually very busy and, as such, the parking lot in
that plaza has many more spaces open. However, the unlimited wings days are
often times quite difficult to park your car directly outside the restaurant
during. That being said, this really shouldn’t be much of an issue because the
Wells Fargo and McDonald’s on the western edge of the plaza (closer to Alafaya)
almost always have parking despite the crowds (especially Wells Fargo). As for
bikes, there are plenty of racks in the plaza and one just outside of Gator’s.
However, that one is most likely going to be full on unlimited wing days
because that is the time most college students/bike owners would be there. If
you can’t get that one specifically, like I said, there are plenty scattered
throughout the plaza and (if you don’t mind walking a bit more) Waterford Lakes
Plaza is a ¼ mile north of this plaza and is filled to the brim with parking spots
for cars and bike racks.

**Ordering and Eating**

When you enter the restaurant, there are going to be
hostesses waiting at the door to seat you. Depending on how crowded it is this
could take anywhere form immediate (the usual) to about 15-30 minutes. Once you’re
seated, you can place your order with the waiter/waitress like a normal
restaurant. If you’re there past 6pm on one of the three unlimited days, they’ll
most likely ask whether or not that’s what you’d like to order just so they can
expedite the process of getting you food. They’ll let you hold onto at least
one menu (and if they don’t then ask to keep one) so you can browse the options
for wings. Once you place an order, like with most places, it’ll be delivered
right to you once it is completed. However, unlike most places, the
waiter/waitress will ask you if you’re ready for your next order of wings at
which point you can pick once more from a variety of options. Keep in mind that
each plate is going to come with 10 wings and on Wednesdays each plate also
comes with fries.

**Misc.**

They’ll continue to ask you whether or not you want more
wings until you say you don’t want anymore. At this point, you can either order
something else or ask for the check(s). You should be charged a little over $11
for the wings plus whatever else you may or may not have ordered. Once you tip
20%, you’re free to leave. If you want to stay, there is a bar area where you
can order drinks on a separate bill. There are also plenty of other things to
do inside such as play some of the arcade games that are set up. Each game
costs tokens which you can purchase at a vending machine in the room, like with
most arcades. There is also a karaoke event that happens on Fridays that they
encourage you to take part in. You don’t have to if you don’t want to, but it
can be very fun depending on your own preferences and sense of humor.
