Great spot by the water with lots of outdoor seating and is dog friendly. Thomas took excellent care of us and the food was served faster than expected. We had the flounder platter with hushpuppies. Both were cooked perfectly with great flavor. I got the crab cakes entree with fries and a southern harvest salad. I was spoiled by Maryland crab cakes and I think these are the best I’ve had since. The salad came with a fruit vinaigrette that paired perfect with the fruit and nuts on the salad. We’ll definitely be back.

Great atmosphere, excellent service, and good food. I recommend the Shrimp Tacos with a side of fries. Check it out!

We have been coming to this restaurant for 10 years now and over the years we have noticed a decline in the food quality. A time or two ago, we swore that we would never come back but we always get sucked back in because it’s on the water and after a few hours of kayaking we are usually hungry and just want a cold beer and some shrimp. The peel and eat shrimp use to be good but lately they have been just ok. The beer is no longer served in bottles but now is in cans only. They use to have beer on tap but no longer have that either.
Today we stopped in after kayaking, knowing that it was going to be hit or miss. Well today was the final straw. We were seated immediately and then waited about 20 minutes before somebody came to take our drink order. It was a female waitress who did not introduce herself and we asked about the beer hoping that maybe something had changed, but no. We don’t like beer in cans, so my friend ordered a coke and I ordered a cocktail, a Spicy Paloma which I have had before at other restaurants. We waited another 20 minutes for our drinks to come and mine seemed like it had been sitting a while because the ice was mostly melted and the drink was very watered down. My friends coke was watered down also. We should have sent them back and left at that point. Once I found a straw and stirred my drink it was a little better. However a Paloma is usually a little fizzy and this was not. It was just not good. The Tajin was all over the outside of the plastic “glass” instead of on the rim.
We finally placed our food order and waited another 20 minutes until our food came. We both ordered the fiesta bowl. Mine was with chicken and my friends was with shrimp. We had never had this before and will never again. The shrimp were tiny and looked like they had been frozen. My bowl with the chicken was a little better. The bowls were mostly rice and it was very dry. Of course when we realized this our missing in action waitress was nowhere to be seen. We asked another male waiter for ranch dressing and he went and got her. So we asked her for ranch dressing and she brought us 2. This made the bowls a little bit better but just ok.
The other food item that we ordered was the homemade potato chips which are always good. When the waitress brought our ranch dressing we went ahead and requested the check because by now we had been there over an hour. Of course she brought the check immediately. I put my credit card with the check to let her know that she could take the check but she never came back. When we waited as long as we were willing to wait, we got up and went to the hostess station like we had seen the couple at the table next to us do. The hostess asked who our waitress was and we told her that we had no idea as she had not introduced herself. The hostess then asked us what she looked like – at this point we were really annoyed and showed her which table we were seated at. She went off to find our waitress and left us standing there waiting. Our waitress finally appeared and took our payment and we left. We were there for 1 hour and 20 minutes….for lunch, not by our choosing. As we walked out we once again said.. ..never again. I’m not sure who is managing the staff but they should be fired. It appears that there is very little training or accountability.

A lot of hype for this establishment. Very difficult to get into as far as parking and to be seated. The food was great. The staff seemed unprepared for as busy as it was. The atmosphere was great. We will definitely try it again.

Fantastic location on the intercoastal with boats everywhere. We sat on the outdoor dock and had a beautiful view. Staff was great with taking care of us. Place was packed so I didn’t expect them to be very quick. Menu was one page so options are slim. But what we got was good. Crab cake was delicious. Great bar and bar tender. Recommend you get a drink and watch the boats. They do have boat slips if you don’t come by car.

The food was amazing. We had the half pound peel and eat shrimp, the tuna nachos, and a harvest salad. Our waitress was not around very much, but one of the neighboring waitresses took us on and provided excellent service. The view was spectacular!

Been here a couple of times. The food is good and the atmosphere is even more awesome. The water right there as you’re eating just makes the vibe so good. Could turn any sour mood into one of relaxation and the food just adds the cherry on top to the experience. Loved it. Thank you!

My husband ordered fried flounder and I ordered the crab cakes so we shared. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were hustling around, taking care of everyone the whole time. Very clean and friendly atmosphere after a morning playing at the beach!

Beautiful Seafood Rehearsal Dinner at Dockside!
We would 10/10 recommend Dockside as a rehearsal dinner venue. The gorgeous, laid back atmosphere is just what we needed the night before our wedding! The intimate upstairs room overlooking the water was perfect for the family and bridal party to kick off wedding weekend!
Food was delicious, drinks were fabulous. Staff were amazing! Kris and Corey helped us throughout planning and were exceptional to work with. I have no complaints at all! What a special night. Thank you, Dockside!
