Reviews
We ordered a hot chicken sandwich and a hangover burger. As well as some drinks which were amazing. Definitely try this place out!
They do get busy but you can call beforehand to make a reservation or call ahead 2 hours before you’re planning to come in.
The Manager was kind enough to take our reservation earlier in the day, where we requested a shaded outdoor table, and as the evening approached, secured a few tables for us to choose from as the sun had moved. Very considerate and accommodating!
I started with a “Winni Water” which is a vodka soda. After that I switched to beer. I also had a “Lady of the Lake” and a couple of “Pulp Daddies”. They were fine. We started with a guac corn dip, which was ok. It needed salt, cilantro, seasoning of any kind.
The app came quick, the entrees took about an hour. It looked like the kitchen and bar were super disorganized. At one point the server asked us if we had our food, we said no, and she just never came back.
When I finally got my fish sandwich with coleslaw and fries, it was actually really good. The fish was flaky and warm. Fries were definitely frozen though.
My husband let me try his chicken tenders, they were delicious. They came with the same fries and an itty bitty side salad, which is $7 btw. I went to the men’s room, which is labeled “outboard”. I also saw “inboard”. There aren’t any pictures, so it took me 2 minutes to figure it out. Thank god I went into the right one.
Oberall, I think Dox is trying to be upscale with prices, but it’s average in quality.
The terrace was almost empty when we arrived, yet we were told we had to wait 15 minutes for a table. So we sat right next to the empty tables, looking at them, until 15 minutes later we got a message that we could sit down. The hostess offered us a table in the sun, even though several tables in the shade were free the whole time. We pointed out a table under an umbrella that had just been vacated and said we were fine waiting for it to be cleaned.
We then waited another 20 minutes, standing near the table, but no one touched the table. After some time, someone came and half-cleared it, leaving plastic cups behind. The terrace was filling up while we kept waiting. Eventually, we sat down, hoping someone would finish cleaning soon, but nothing happened.
Another 10 minutes later the hostess came and told us to “make space,” claiming that because we were sitting there, no one was coming to clean the table. I explained that we had already been waiting a long time near the table and that no server had even approached the table to finish clearing it, which makes no sense.
After another long wait, I even offered to help clear the few stacked plastic cups, but the hostess refused and insisted that we leave the table. Only then did someone finally clean it. After that, we still had to wait several more minutes until the hostess eventually brought utensils and seated. Now calculate how much time we lost…
I have never experienced such rudeness and unprofessional behavior at a restaurant before. The only reason we stayed was because we had already wasted so much time and were hungry. As for the food it was mediocre.
I never left a 1 star review, but was a complete waste of time, patience, and money, the hostess made us feel like we were being mocked. It gave us the impression that her strategy was to make customers not want to come back. Otherwise, I can’t explain the lack of logic in the way she does her job.
It all started when we walked in. We could see one table eating and a bunch of employees walking around looking busy. It was honestly dead but it took 10 minutes to get a seat. The guy behind the bar made eye contact multiple times but did anything he possibly could to avoid seating us but finally he had no choice and seated us with an attitude.
My wife ordered scallops appetizer and no one told us until after the food came out that they were out of tartar sauce.
One son ordered a side of mac and cheese and a side of loaded tots. The side plate was 4inches by 4inches and the amount of food you got did. It even fill the plate.
The other son ordered chicken tenders and they were so dry he could not even bite through them. Awful.
I ordered the pull pork nachos and the pulled pork was burnt and dry.
$107 later and it was the worst food I have ever had.
The best part was the view. I’d avoid this place.
STAY AWAY!
We ordered the Guac and Corn dip to start- for a spot that did not claim “authentic Mexican” it was good. A great portion and our server offered us sour cream and salsa on the side- that was a plus. The portion of guac was so large I asked for extra chips to continue enjoying even when our main entrees arrived. It was giving homemade vibes, which is great when you’re hungry- it was not some dry powder guac mix- chunks of avocado, sweet pieces of corn, onion etc. Could it have used a squeeze of lime and chopped cilantro, sure- but it was not a deal breaker.
My kids ordered a hot dog and garden salad- great size hot dog, awesome salad portion. One of the 3 ordered a cheese burger- which seemed like the exact burger as the single smash burger minus the caramelized onions and bacon and a side of Mac and cheese (also great portion).
Both adults ordered burgers too- one Downsize (only one smash burger patty) and the Dox which included 2 smash burger patties – both with cheese bacon and caramelized onions. For sides we had the house made chips, and Mac and cheese.
The only feedback I have is about the lack of flavor in the Mac and cheese. Maybe it’s a cultural thing- but a little salt and pepper probably won’t hurt anybody.
Overall no complaints. I like that there was a live musician performing cover songs with the guitar and harmonica. The view was cool, and it seemed like a laid back environment.
