“Stop! If you miss it, turn around! You’ll go, “Really? Golf balls and good food?” Yep, leave the clubs home - too cold for that - and don’t whiz by without stopping for a bite. There’s a reason so many cars are parked in the lot. The locals get it. Be a local!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Docks Bar & Grill. The service was excellent, the food was good, and everything came out fast. We also really enjoyed the conversations with the bartenders — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging. I mentioned that I appreciated the TVs being on the same channel, because when multiple screens are on different channels, the flickering lights can be overwhelming for me. I’m disabled and live with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) and CPTSD, along with chronic migraines. The sunglasses I wear help reduce light sensitivity from LEDs and neon lighting, and the staff was kind, open, and understanding when I explained this. It meant a lot to be treated with respect and curiosity rather than judgment. The bartender was friendly, approachable, and handled the conversation with warmth and professionalism. Great atmosphere, great people, and a place that makes you feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back.“

And the 3 stars on service is definitely not a dig on the bartender/ server but to the owners understaffing.“

“I always have a great time visiting this place! 😊 A big thank you to Carrie and Sue for their friendly and attentive service-they always make guests feel welcome. 👏 Special thanks to Freddy as well for the fun Sunday raffles and the amazing $1 taco deals during Bears games! 🌮🏈 The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, no matter what you order. One of my favorite things is their Friday night fish fry, which is absolutely worth trying. 🐟😋 If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere, I definitely recommend stopping by! ⭐❤️“

“Broken Oar is always a great time, especially on a summer Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere is lively, the crowd is fun, and the staff is consistently friendly and attentive.

We came by boat just to grab a few drinks and appetizers. Everything was good, but the churro fries were the standout of the day—absolutely worth ordering and highly recommended.

My only complaint is the docking situation. Getting from the docks to the restaurant requires walking through muddy, sandy terrain, which isn't ideal. More importantly, the docks sit very high above the water, and the exposed metal underneath ended up scratching our boat. If you have a typical recreational boat, I'd honestly think twice about arriving by water, as there's a real risk of cosmetic damage.

Despite that, the food, drinks, service, and overall atmosphere keep us coming back. We'll definitely be back—just probably by car next time.“
