Friendly out of the way place with nice water views. Good food, cold beer, good music and reasonable prices. Not sure what more you could ask for.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jerry’s Dockside is a must-try! I had the grouper sandwich with potato salad, and it was absolutely amazing. The fish was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right—crispy on the outside, tender inside. The potato salad was a standout too—creamy, flavorful, and clearly homemade. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. Definitely worth a try!

The location is great but the food wasn't. The menu is very limited. The Grouper burger I ordered had too much sauce in it to the point that it got very soggy quickly. Didn't expect that a burger (with either kettle chips packet or potato salad or coleslaw) worth $16.45 plus tax will be like this. They also charged a 30% gratuity saying it's mandatory. The food or the portion size was not even close to that. My suggestion is if you go there because of the location order Appetizers and drinks only.

Right on a large section of the Alafia River. Really nice docks with plenty of room. Food was reasonably priced and so were the drinks. Full bar and lots of outdoor seating. Lots of parking and lots of seating. Staff was friendly and attentive. Very popular with the locals with a laid back vibe. We were there on a Sunday and they had live music. Would recommend and we will return.

Came in for bingo and had lots of fun! Super lowkey vibe not too crowded. I’ve been in a few times and I think we are gonna make this place our regular spot. Our server was amazing, super friendly and funny too didn’t catch her name though. We will be back!!

Love the waterfront site by Alafia river, love the singers. Sing songs full of sentimental love stories and poetic life moments that we all can reminisce along with the music and throaty voice and the food or drink.
