Lobster Roll Season
The Dock Restaurant 👍🏾
Town of Waterford, CT
This evening Tiana and I dropped into The Dock Restaurant located on the Niantic River in the Town of Waterford. The Dock is a seasonal spot specializing in seafood so I had to go try out their Lobster Roll and much more. I arrived hungry and ready to eat so Tiana and I ordered and reviewed:

Menu
The Dock Restaurant provides a scenic spot to enjoy a drink or meal, with plenty of sun, a gentle breeze, and quick bar service. Visitors can savor their delicious lobster roll and coconut shrimp, paired with fantastic fries. The outdoor seating offers a beautiful view of the Niantic River, especially when the weather is nice. The hot lobster roll is a highlight, featuring quality rolls and tasty French fries, while the clam strips are also very good. The environment is relaxing, with a nice view of the water and passing boats. The restaurant's perfect location and wheelchair accessibility make it a great place to unwind. Food is ordered from a small building via a speaker, and alcoholic drinks are served under a tent on the deck. Despite some less satisfying items like chilled lobster bisque, the restaurant offers great seafood at better prices than others in town, making it a must-visit spot in summer. Recent visitors found the staff kind and enjoyed the perfectly cooked food, including oysters and a cheeseburger, while loving the water view. Many return regularly, especially for the top lobster rolls in the Waterford/Niantic area, making it a classic New England seaside destination.
