⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Dock was absolutely wonderful! The staff are wonderful, service is quick, and Vanessa has an amazingly creative menu that is to die for. Will definitely be coming back again and again!! 💕
Yummy food and a great atmosphere! The perfect spot to bring the kids on the weekend. Lots of kids friendly menu items and they love feeding the fish off the dock and watching boats go by on the river!
"5/5 stars! The Dock: A River Café nails it with creative bourbon-inspired desserts and the juiciest smashburger in town! Friendly vibes and top-notch service!
I loved this place! It’s a small family-owned operation, and you can tell how much love they have for one other and their customers. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. I’ll definitely stop by next time I’m in town. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Our family went kayaking on the river Saturday and were excited to see this place was open!
Some of the best food we've had in Frankfort in a long time with a great family owner vibe.
Owners and their workers we very kind and food was out QUICK!
- Smash burger was awesome, delicious pasta salad, hot dog was all beef and don't even get us started on the ranch tots!!
For the three of us, three meals and several beers and a soda we spent less than $60.
Easy to park your kayaks or to dock your boat (they have fuel too), also good parking and easy to enter from the street.
You can even feed the fish, our 10 year old loved it!
Will definitely be back!

At first glance you might think this little place is just another riverside restaurant; but do not pass it up. It is some of the best food you can buy in Franklin County!! So many amazing things on (and off) the menu. Great quiet setting to relax on the river & feed the fishes!
Smash burgers, Ruben bratwurst, cookies, beers, and omg the ranch tater tots. People were polite, and food was worth every penny.
Kid-friendliness: Owner gave us some bread to feed the huge fish under the dock! Super awesome for my 10yr old girl to experience!

We had the Pimento Tray, a turkey burger and a smashburger. Absolutely phenomenal. Seasoned perfectly. The pimento cheese had a jam on it, that made it super flavorful. I love that they have healthy options and sugar free beverages.
The service was very friendly.
We loved everything! Will be back.

The Dock: A River Cafe was amazing! Nice little place at the marina directly in the water. Owners and employees are extremely nice and accommodating. We had 5 in our party and we all tried each other’s dishes. There’s definitely some exceptional talent with preparing the menu. All item were out of this world. Things that don’t seem would go together, made everything delicious! The owner previously worked at a restaurant where Diners, Drive Ins and Dives visited. Her talent is shown through the menu that she creates and perfects. We can not wait to go back. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed and will go back again! Thanks The Dock ladies and man!

Our family of 4 (2 teens/2 adults) just had an amazing meal at The Dock! We were immediately made to feel welcome - the staff talked us through the menu and helped us choose what to try and they were super attentive our entire visit. We loved getting to chat with them! The atmosphere was casual and so peaceful by the water. The food was INCREDIBLE. So much was made with local ingredients, which I loved. We all got the V-Style Smashburgers with pimento cheese and bacon pepper jam (none of us even used condiments on the burgers because they were great just as they came) and Ranch tots. We decided to try a few different desserts and we're hard pressed to pick a favorite. There was a warm S'Mores Stuffed cookie, a Chocolate cupcake with bourbon buttercream topped with a salted carmel bourbon glaze, and a
Bourbon pecan brownie. They were all fantastic, but the brownie was probably the absolute favorite. After glancing at their brunch menu, we all decided we're coming back as soon as we can to give that a try also. DON'T SLEEP ON THIS ONE!
