We came for dinner late in a day on Wednesday. The place was busy with plenty of people dining. We chose a table on a high deck overlooking the lake with a small marina and relaxed watching sunset. We ordered Mexican burger and chicken sandwich meals. Portions were generous, each cost $17-$18. We found the sandwich, see the picture, to be exceptionally good value for the the money. It came with French fries and a salad. The fries were extra crispy, probably the best I have ever had. The service was great and the owner seemed to really care about the guests. Overall this was a great visit. We had a really good time in a beautiful scenery with the ownership that really cares. All that for a low price. Highly recommended.

Pros: Pretty views, fun atmosphere, plenty of seating. Lots of tables with views of the Fox Lake.
Cons: Slow service, high prices for low quality food, not enough prime rib for Saturday night.
Coconut shrimp looked a little bit dark, kind of crunchy. Croissant club sandwich was lacking a bit of pizzaz. It came with boring American cheese, and turkey that was a bit thick. Would be better if the croissant was slightly toasted.
Came on a Saturday evening in August. Got seated right away, but the service was very slow. They likely need more servers and help. The $45 prime rib was completely sold out, so we weren’t able to try it. And that delayed our order because the server had to come back and ask for something different.

grossly overpriced, marijuana smoke every five minutes on the deck, you should just come to expect they’re always out of prime rib but again they were out of prime rib settled for the coconut shrimp and it was deep-fried for 20 minutes not very good the club sandwiches were Walmart quality meat. about the only thing they got right was the cheeseburger which was overpriced and the mac & cheese. Service was extremely slow. Why would anybody wanna pay $75 for two lobster tails or a charbroiled steak for 50 bucks? about the only thing they got going for themselves is the cool view of the lake.

This gem of a place sits right on Fox Lake. The views from the deck are excellent. In the evening the sun’s reflections/sunsets are perfect. The service is outstanding, although we have been told some weekends and holiday events are overwhelming. Most of the menu looks to be Sysco truck stuff, but the fried lake perch was very good. The ribs are ok, but there are better out there. Beer selection is limited, this is where the owners could step up and offer a bigger selection on tap or cans. Overall, highly recommend definitely worth the stop in!

Everything was as expected. The food was great. The service was top notch. The atmosphere was warm despite the wintery mix of snow and rain. I’ve been to Dockers several times a year and every time it’s been great. I’ve never had a complaint. Oh. One funny thing… they have lakeside dining. One time the restaurant was full inside and a storm rolled in. The outside diners were forced to come inside. The poor guests! The waiting staff scrambled to accommodate seats for the guests. It was quite the dilemma, but the staff handled it professionally and successfully.

Located on scenic Fox Lake,this restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining offering burgers,sandwiches,pizza,salads and more. They have a fantastic lakeside deck to enjoy the boats or sunset while sipping on one of their famous margaritas or Mai Tai.
We went on a Friday night after 8pm so we had no trouble getting seated. We just went for a cocktail and nachos..both were good. They do offer a Friday Fish Fry which I want to try next time .
Service was very good and prices reasonable. Plenty of parking is available. A must stop when in the Fox Lake area.

We stopped in for a quick bite but decided to go for something a bit more special. Everything was amazing—the steak and lobster were absolutely delicious. Also if you are sitting upstairs or outside and you were there at night, stay for the sunset.

Loved looking over the water while we dine. Food was pretty good. I got the tuna melt for lunch it was good we got the chicken nachos (large chunks of chicken and fake cheese) and those were not appetizing to me at all. Hubby like the fish tacos.But everything else was good!
