I thought they would be served chilled, but they fried them. They were very good though, lightly fried with a very good dipping sauce. We also split the jambalaya, which was a very generous portion.

It was so good I mean like seriously if you haven't had a crab boil in a minute, go to this place down in Gainesville, Mr. and Mrs. crab I 10 out of 10 recommend. For drinks I got the rum runner of course drinks could always have probably a little more alcohol, but it was good enough so I got two and the ambience of course was nice.

There are so many choices plus they always have a special on their chalkboard. In the end, I ordered the Hawt Chik and the Buck a Jump fries with extra side of ranch. The meal was everything I wanted it to be! The Chik sandwich had just a kick of spice but was not overwhelming and the Cajun fries were fantastic . I absolutely cannot wait to come back and try something new. I'm really glad my kid is only a sophomore at UF because I come back every 2 to 3 weeks to Gainesville. I intend on coming here every time I visit and I also intend on trying everything on the menu. This is really a hidden gem.

I was greeted right away when I walked in, and service was friendly and quick. I ordered the Cajun tofu po' boy and a homemade lemonade. The lemonade tasted really fresh and not overly sweet or artificial. The po' boy came on a crispy hoagie that was still soft inside, with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The tofu was sliced and cooked well, but could've used a little more salt for flavor.

Our waitress was named Willow, and she was amazing, Food came out hot and fresh i opted for simple chicken fried rice, wife and friends shared a big family boil. Now i did try some of the sausage from boil, medium heat..wasnt bad im just not a big seafood boil person .But i will say i definitely will be going back to try somebother food from there.My rice was such a big portion i had to share !!! If your a big Louisana style aeafood kind of person definitely give them a visit!!! Love the decor, where we were seated felt like we were in a lobster trap with all the ropes over our heads..lol also plenty of TV's to watch sports on if there are games on.

I came here with a group of friends for dinner, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience…read more Even though Seafood Dock is known for their seafood, I personally wasn't in the mood for a boil that night, so I ordered the lemon pepper wings with fries. The wings were flavorful, well-seasoned, and hit the spot, and the fries were crispy and satisfying,simple but solid. That said, when my friends' seafood boils came out, wow. The smell alone was incredible rich, buttery, and seasoned perfectly. I couldn't resist trying a few bites, and I'm glad I did. The potatoes and broccoli were especially good, soaking up all that seasoning, and the seafood itself tasted fresh and well-cooked. You could tell this is really where they shine. The portions were generous, the food came out hot, and it's definitely a fun, casual spot to go with friends. The atmosphere feels laid-back and social, which makes it great for group dinners. While my non-seafood order was good, seeing (and tasting) the boils made me want to come back and try a full seafood meal next time. Overall, a solid spot with great flavor, especially if you're a seafood lover. I'd absolutely return and next time, I might just give in and get my own boil.

When you have a job you can't wait 45 minutes just to get your lunch. They are constantly understaffed and say they aren't and blame it on random affairs. There's never anyone at the podium to seat you. It's not welcoming to come and wait for five minutes to get acknowledged. Hire a hostess for minimum wage to just at least get seated nice. It gets tiring giving a chance over and over and the same thing happening every time. We spend an hour and a half for lunch. So if you are in a hurry do not go here. Will update when service is better. I hope this get someone's attention to improve there stuff I do like this place and want it to succeed but it's getting ridiculous and not worth it waiting for. Pros: the foodhas always been good Cons: price and inconsistency

I called, they still had the fish so we returned but each of us had an order of the blackened Kingfish, no regrets as it was wonderful.. just had to say it. Two nights in a row with no regrets.

The place was pretty much empty, but it seemed like we were forgotten about until maybe 15 minutes after being seated, when a server happened to walk by and asked if anyone had taken our drink orders. I ordered an Old Fashioned, knowing I was taking a risk ordering that kind of drink in this kind of restaurant, but figured if it was advertised on their menu as a specialty cocktail, they'd be good at it. I figured wrong--it was not good. Started with a small Caesar salad, which was fine, if a bit overdressed. For an entree, I had the ribeye with mashed potatoes and broccoli as sides. The ribeye was underwhelming, not particularly well seasoned and not an especially good cut of meat. The potatoes were really unimpressive, having an odd taste and definitely not very garlicky. Hate to say it, but I can get a better quality steak and sides for less money at just about any Longhorn in the country, as much as I dislike national chains. Shout out to Taylor, who ended up being our server. She was fantastic, even if it seemed she was stuck covering half the tables in the place on her own. I'd also add that the menus are on iPads. This is just silly, and barely a step above QR codes printed on the table. I don't want to tap through a bunch of screens to figure out what I'm going to eat. Give me a real menu to page through. It's much easier to flip back and forth to reference what I want when I'm ordering rather than trying to navigate through a digital menu. I wouldn't place this restaurant high on my list of places to revisit next time I'm in Gainesville.

It wasn't busy(at first) but we still felt rushed. Ordered an app then we ordered entrees. After waiting a bit, he comes back and says there are no pasta dishes in the kitchen. Like wtf, I mean they didn't tell u when u brought the order to the kitchen? But then you bring out the extra side/ house salad that I ordered to go with the pasta. I didn't want it anymore .Fast forward, then this guy brings out the checks while I'm still eating. Like really? And then I was a little offended that he gave us 2 separate checks without asking.Whats funny is that Me and my best friend always try to pay for each other lol, so who told him to do separate checks. But I try not to assume... Now the food was just okay. Had the gator tail and it was salty. Then after "no pasta" I went with the summer salad. And I guess they were out of stuff for this too. It was missing the Blueberry and the apple. Guess they figure they would see if I noticed. Well I did notice, i was just over it, and was just too late complain.
