We went to The Dock on Front as an impulse after visiting the Mokena holiday events on the 3rd of July. The restaurant was completely full inside and had a 30 min waitlist. Staff was apologetic about the wait but We opted to wait anyway as we enjoy this restaurant. Within 10 minutes there was a cancellation and we were seated. Wait staff was there immediately. Orders were placed and food and drinks available in about 15 minutes or so. While we ate we watched the wait and kitchen...read full review
My baby shower was hosted at The Dock and it could not have turned out more perfect. From the beginning planning stages to the day of, the team was so accommodating and made the experience an extremely positive one, especially Kim. Our guests went up for seconds and thirds and were raving about how delicious the food was! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!
My hubby and I had lunch there today. We shared the Ruben Rolls, I had chicken rice soup, he had French onion soup. We both had the filet sliders, mine with sweet potato fries and his with onion rings. Service was outstanding and food was delicious!

The Dock on Front is described as a shining star in downtown Mokena, offering a modern and recently renovated space with a nice inside and a cool, relaxed vibe at the bar area with wood tables. The building itself stands out. The staff is consistently mentioned as very friendly, welcoming, helpful, and accommodating, with owners also noted as super sweet.
The restaurant offers great food with very generous portions and a good balance of options, being a must-stop for food and drinks. Guests have raved about the food. Specific items highlighted include the Cauliflour Bites with Mango Habenero sauce, which are spicy with lovely flavor, and the Strawberry Fields salad, praised for its fresh ingredients and customizable presentation with dressing on the side. The Chicken Limone entree is also described as juicy and flavorful. The Dock on Front is a great place for both lunch and dinner, or just a drink, and is recommended for date nights, girls' nights, or any occasion.
The space is on the smaller side, making it better suited for smaller groups or grabbing a drink at the bar rather than large parties. Parking is available near the metra station. While the remodeling is praised, some note that too many hanging wicker lights block the TVs. The restaurant is seen as an amazing asset to downtown Mokena, and there's a desire to be connected and give back to the community.
