Kelly's Dockside Cafe
Served the worst seafood I've ever had, started with the drinks sucking because they're to cheap to put a new syrup bag on, my little neck clam appetizer was full of sand from lack of preparation, messed up all of our sides for the whole table, then I crack into my $40 plate of snow crab legs only to find out somehow the meat dry on the inside of the shell and tastes like crap. The the owner/ cook Kelly wanted to argue about the food. Needless to say...read full review
Went for dinner, salads that came out were clearly old and mildew ridden. Got crab legs that were old and rotten. Good way to potentially give someone terrible food poisoning. Waitress was very generous and did not charge for them. Highly dissatisfied when others saying it was good food.
I bring my pups to many dog-friendly eateries and this was by far the nicest staff we have encountered! The food was good and they even brought my pups their own water. They were all around very friendly!

Kelly's Dockside Cafe is a charming waterfront eatery that welcomes guests with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The owner, with over 50 years of experience, prepares delicious dishes such as Cajun blackened catfish, the Ruben, and grilled Cajun chicken. The menu also features tasty options like fish and chips, seafood chowder, and Caesar salad with grilled chicken or shrimp. The restaurant offers friendly and attentive service, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Customers often appreciate the reliable chicken sandwich and the good eggs Benedict, although some have found certain sandwiches and French toasts to be average. The cafe's history and charm are undeniable, and its simple environment makes it a popular choice for a casual meal, especially after outdoor activities like hiking or camping. Despite some signs of wear and tear, Kelly's Dockside Cafe remains a favorite for those seeking a cozy spot near the water, especially with its lovely outdoor deck overlooking the canal.
