“ Excellent! Almost didn't get the conch fritters and so glad we did, they were the best part of the meal. We also had the fried calamari and split a pick 3 with the haddock, scallops and shrimp. Everything was great. ”

“ The BEST restaurant we had while on vacation! Everyone was so nice and the food was amazing! We wanted a bunch of fried seafood for our last night in town, and could not have gone to a better place! I can’t choose my favorite item- it’s all so good. We were on the hunt for a soft shell crab sandwich- 5/5! Crab cake 5/5! We also got a platter with 2 choices of the catch of the day- grouper and red fish. So good! 5/5! The guy taking our order was really helpful and patient with us when choosing which fish to try! All in all, great service, great food, great atmosphere! ”
“ No frills fresh seafood! Finally got to check this highly rated place after a couple failed attempts of long wait lines. This time we went for weekday lunch and didn’t have to wait. Big portions and so budget-friendly. Be prepared for counter service. Will def be back for fresh seafood! Loved the oysters and my husband couldn’t eat all his deviled crabs (3)! Wouldn’t get fish tacos again as they come deconstructed. Pls add nonalcoholic beer to menu. ”
“ From the moment I arrived, Dockside Seafood delivered a great dining experience. The atmosphere was lively yet family-friendly, and the music added a fun, laid-back vibe without being overwhelming. The wait in line to order was short—only about 4 minutes, which was impressive for such a popular spot. I ordered the fried flounder, shrimp, and fries with a side of coleslaw, fried Basa, and Oysters. Everything was served fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The seafood was perfectly fried—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The coleslaw was creamy and refreshing, balancing the meal nicely. It was absolutely worth every penny! I’ll definitely be coming back for another round. Highly recommended for seafood lovers looking for quality and quick service at the beach! ”
