Dock of the Bay

Indoor and outdoor seating on the water, playground for the kids and the wait staff was wonderful to our toddler

Absolute best steamed crabs I’ve ever had. Service was awesome.

I’ll pay

We reserved one dozen large steamed crabs. When we arrived and the crabs were served to our table they were small to medium at best, however, we were charged the price of large crabs. We left feeling ripped off and will not be back. That small accommodation in price would have saved the relation of loyal customers who would have returned.

Great place local or not. Beautiful view of the water. The best crab cake sandwiches around!

As always it was wonderful. Great everything across the board! It's been a very long time since I had been there and they only proved that they still got it going on!

The seafood was good but the oysters small and overcooked. Our party of 11 was a bit rowdy and our waitress was great to the table of septogenarians.

What a beautiful day to have a birthday. And a special shout out to John and Cora at DOCK of the BAY for making this a delightful and memorable birthday. The food was delicious and the service was flawless. The view and the weather were perfect as well. Looking forward to our next meal with you all. And the special chocolate chip cookie with ice cream for dessert was the perfect ending. Thank you all.

Worst Morher’s Day ever, spent here ! Made reservations over a week ago and asked to reserve crabs at that time . I was told had to call back on Friday to see what size crabs were available, did that ! Then was told not sure , needed to call on Saturday , did that ! Was then told due to the storms in the south needed to call on Sunday , did that ! I was then told only thing available was medium crabs so I said well I guess reserve me two dozen of them ! Get to the restaurant at 4:50 my reservation is for 5:00 pm and I’m told they can’t seat us yet they’re waiting for the kitchen to catch up and apologizes , says gives her about ten minutes . Wait another half hour , meanwhile they continue to let people walk-in and sit at the bar and order food .So explain how this is allowing the kitchen to catch up ? Any differently then you searing people with reservations? Then we’re finally seated and I ask about our crabs . Well guess what no crabs were ever reserved for us . The owner then comes over and is so unprofessional and ignorant that it isn’t even funny ! Offers a round of free sodas or dessert for the inconvenience lmao 🤣 what is that ? He then proceeds to walk away and tells somebody to call Jimmys and order two dozen of f** clinic crabs . Of course they’re sold out . So needless to say no crabs for us but people that didn’t reserve crabs got crabs . Wow what a great way to do business ! Not Then out food comes out and half of it has to get sent back . Most dry , flaky disgusting crab cake I’ve ever had and that I will say is unusual for there because I’ve had them many times before so I don’t know if that was part of our punishment or what ! To say I was disappointed and had the worst day ever is putting it mildly !!! Oh and lets not forget the disgusting , nasty ladies room ! Half the stalls out of order and the other half no toilet paper ! Filthy mess .Definitely would not recommend on a holiday

I came here yesterday with my family because we received a gift card. I will say, our server was extremely kind, personable, and attentive. However, the food was awful. I ordered a cup of loaded potato soup to start, which had little to no flavor at all. Then, I ordered the blackened chicken alfredo. It was okay. Not horrible, thankfully. My mom’s and husband’s dishes however….
They both ordered rockfish over rice. The rockfish tasted like catfish and had a very foul smell. The rice had the weirdest taste that was impossible to get out of your mouth. My husband ordered a cherry crush drink. It was hardly sweet and tasted like soda water with some vodka.
Needless to say, I feel awful giving a local business such a negative review but food prices are too high to serve food that isn’t even subpar!

We celebrated my son & his wife's wedding there and everything was fabulous! The food was delish and the views are amazing - it is a great way to celebrate any occasion. Thank you! Cathy Vitrano Kellermann

Nice views. Fairly casual. Not very fancy.

Very sad buffet...The food was under cooked over cooked and cold ,staff not attending it at all and very unhygienic in my opinion.People were packed like sardines. It was a money grab I hope the staff who had to work at least got paid well... It was my first time ever here because of this poorly excluded food event I will not be coming back.

We had our 50th High School reunion here. Ordered the fish and chips. First piece was not very filling, like it was all breading and no fish. Second piece somewhat thicker and tasty. Staff super friendly and courteous.
