“We ate here before the A day game this past weekend and it was, hands down, one of the very best meals we have had in a long time. Home cookin at its finest - served up by some of the nicest people you could meet. Rare to find fantastic food AND service these days - this place has both. If we lived nearby, we would be regulars. It will be a "have to" stop anytime we are coming through T-Town.“

“Story time at the end. This place is awesome. It's very neat, always clean, very tasty. It's not a lot of food. If you like large portions, this is a better lunch than dinner.So, last time we ate there, there was this big dude bro and he kept mumbling. Finally said "the fruit one." Come on, big man, it won't kill you to ask for Fruity Fran. "That fruit one" slayed me. You're already in there, just order it, you know the name.

Parking: Can be a little difficult to find parking at peak times.“

“I love having Dockside open up Hwy 43 to give us another option for dinner close to home! If you haven’t tried the fried shrimp or the catfish, you’re definitely missing out! There’s just something extra about the breading that had me eating ALL my shrimp and not sharing with my husband! 🤣 Highly recommend checking it out!“

The service was outstanding and the whole experience was just classy and comfortable. Brussel sprouts were on special for an appetizer, they were the best we’ve ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We visit at least once or twice a month usually on a Wednesday the food and drinks are always delicious 😋 And never had a problem with the service and we’ve been visiting since they were on the corner downtown, but this past Wednesday November 18, 2020 our server was horrible she had the nastiest attitude and demeanor. First thought was because we African American but we soon realized that wasn’t it she treated two other tables with the same curtness and attitude. Hopefully next visit will be better“
