We came in for dinner on Tuesday, 6/10/26 around 8:30pm and sat outside on the patio, it was a gorgeous night! The newly renovated space is so clean, modern and well laid out. 2 MASSIVE bars inside and a couple bars outside for when they have live bands. The new bandstand is great and overall the space feels much safer than when it was Dockers.
For our cocktails: I had the house infused blackberry vodka and club soda with lime, it was ever refreshing. Mr had the tequila old fashioned, he said "it was fine", felt like it had too much bitters.
We ordered 2 walleye sliders for an app, but they came with our dinner unfortunately, but not the end of the world obvi. They were SO good! HUGE pieces of fish on buttered and griddled buns with house made tartar sauce. I asked the server about the Poke Bowl. The description said "seafood salad" but no details of what was in it. Bless her heart, she said the seafood salad was a seaweed salad. I thought "interesting" and ordered it. In addition to the seaweed salad (which was tasty!) there was a big scoop of baby shrimp mixed with some kind of mayo, celery and seasoning. I didn't mind it, but I wish it had been colder. If seafood is going to be cold - it better be COLD. This was on the warm side of room temp. I didn't get sick so I'm assuming the shrimp was freshly cooked and mixed with the mayo business? The salad also included "spicy tuna" I was expecting small chunks of tuna, or something similar but it was akin to tuna pâté. It was good, but not what I expected. There were several other components of the salad that made it delicious, this fruity salsa, perfectly cooked rice and a gingery mustard dressing. I would get this again - minus the tuna and seafood salad, add grilled chicken. Or try something else all together.
He had the Prime Rib dip with chips and house made onion dip. This was very tasty! The bun was griddled and had a garlic butter on the outside. A provolone cheese sauce and the au jus was flavorful. The meat was very tender, but didn't have a much going on by itself. But who cares? As a sandwich it was great!
For me - the highlight was the walleye slider. One of the best fish sandwiches I've had. I'm getting two of those and fries next time we come in.
The menu reminds me a lot of Pints & Quarts, a favorite of mine in Norton Shores (closed for the season while The Deck is open) and that makes sense since they are all owned by the Harris Family. We felt the prices were better than when it was Dockers, the service was WAY better and the redone space is not even in the same category as Dockers.
We will be back for sure! read more
