Wildwood BBQ

Wildwood is a pretty decent BBQ place - I often have lunch here when I'm in the neighborhood, but probably wouldn't travel from elsewhere in the city just to eat here. Pros: the fried chicken meal is huge and excellent, especially the spicy version. It's not quite Nashville hot chicken, but I really like it and there's usually so much you can take home leftovers. I also like the ribs, the dirty bird sandwich, and the cornbread. The staff are friendly and accommodating of big groups, even if you don't have a reservation. It's usually pretty easy to get a table unless it's peak lunch or happy hour time. Cons: service is unbelievably slow. I really have no idea why, the staff seem competent but everything happens at a glacial pace here. Not a good option if you're pressed for time. I personally don't like the vinegar chips that come as a side with many of the sandwiches, and the bacon that's in some of the combos is not very good. As long as you know what you're getting into, time-wise, this is a good Union Square-ish option for lunch.

I love the pulled pork at Wildwood. My sister and I discovered this place a few years back and we have been going ever since. It is in a convenient location near Union Square. The service is always great and with a smile. The restaurant is nice, dim, and casual. The bbq sauces are pretty good as well. You can use as little as you want or as much to flavor the bbq some more. I love their desserts here and sometimes they donate a few dollars to charity. This is an honest and generous business. Highly recommend!

I came here for lunch with my coworkers. Our server was friendly, and the initial chips were good but very limited. Our food came out fairly quickly, and it was cooked well and tasted great. The only real downside is that the prices are relatively high, and I wouldn't come here for a casual lunch. Great atmosphere though!

Wildwood is the best! Between the musical influence and the food you can't go wrong. The food is really yummy and the portions are huge!. You can get the best, best, best food here, especially if you go with multiple people. The desserts are also to die for. Try the beans and mac and cheese too, and go hungry!

The baby back ribs were great (wet rub). They're certainly not the best ive ever had nor did it have that smokiness or that tender fall off the bone, but for bbq in ny it's prolly sufficient. We also shared the monster meat extravaganza. The chicken must not have been very good as it was the last bit standing. The brisket also looked kinda dry imo but I didn't try it. The corn bread was great as were the sweet potato fries. Mac and cheese pretty good too altho i didnt care for the bread crumbs on top. It was kind of lame that they charged $5 per basket of chips bc it seemed complimentary. That said, the salty vinegar chips were really good, felt homemade.

Pork spare ribs and skillet cornbread for me, thanks. End the meal with their s’mores fluffernutter fondue (note: the usage of “fondue” being a bit of a misnomer). The dish came out served in a pot, containing three s’mores graham cracker sandwiches of sorts. Solid BBQ.

Can't comment about most of the entrees. Was there with a big group and got the whole pig roast. It was glorious. And better than the whole pig roast a at Daisey May's.

Decent BBQ, though sauces and quality of meat leave a bit to be desired. Friendly service and comfortable atmosphere.
