Delicious topping & sauce. Highly recommend. They come 2 per order and they split them on plates for us since we just wanted a snack (only went in for a drink). The onion rings were also way above average, crunchy and delicious! Austin the bartender is really sweet and keeps the customers happy. Enjoyed sitting at the bar so he could serve us again. Don't recommend going on a holiday weekend though. What were we thinking? Well the beach had no parking and the streets were very busy. Glad we found a place to park at the pink elephant. We just wanted a little beach outing for vow-renewal "anniversary." Wink. Probably going again soon on our engagement anniversary!

Our waiter was great and attentive. He kept the drinks flowing! We ordered oysters to share that were excellent and fresh. I wasn't a huge fan of my tuna sushi rolls that were the special of the day as I felt it did lack a bit of flavor. The swordfish was great, next time I would get that instead.

We enjoyed lunch and drinks after getting to the area before being able to check in to the hotel.

We loved our drinks, and were all drooling over our dinners and still talking about it days after how good it was . Portions are large and everything is so delicious and fresh.

Be sure to stop at the bar in the front for a night cap :) thanks for a great night helping me celebrate my 30th!

From what I understood the lobster nachos and lobster roll is only served between 2 and 6 pm at the Lizard lounge as finger foods while enjoying cocktails after a day at the beach.

One thing I really like is that customers can pay to choose the music, so there's always something different playing. We've also been there on nights with a DJ, which makes for an even better time. There's a small dance floor with a stripper pole if that's your thing! They also allow smoking, and you can even buy cigarettes there. They also have a vape and Pokémon card vending machine, again if that's your thing. They have a separate pool room, along with plenty of seating options, including bar seating, high-top tables, and tables facing outside. Overall, it's a great place to hang out with friends, grab a drink, play some pool, and enjoy the atmosphere. I always have a good time here and definitely recommend checking it out!

Pops Sunset Grill…read more Atmosphere and Service Parking was difficult to find when we stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. Once inside, we were seated on the outdoor deck overlooking the water. Our first table wobbled so badly that we asked to move to another nearby. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills Old Florida atmosphere. Plenty of fans kept the air moving in the heat. Our server took our drink and food orders promptly, but we later had to flag her down for refills and extra napkins. What We Ordered * Chef's Ceviche: Octopus with lime juice, tomato, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, olive oil, and avocado, served with tortilla chips. * Harbour Island Bahama Mama: A half-pound burger topped with pineapple, mozzarella, and teriyaki, served on a toasted brioche bun with lettuce and tomato. * Maine Lobster Roll: Lobster with tarragon aioli, mixed greens, and tomato on a brioche roll, served with a side salad. Food and Overall Experience The Chef's Ceviche was fresh but unremarkable, and the portion felt small. The burger, however, was excellent--cooked perfectly to medium-rare, with the pineapple adding a flavorful twist that elevated the dish. The coleslaw and lobster roll were both good, though neither stood out. The side salad was fresh and satisfying. Overall, the burger was the clear highlight of the meal.

Our server, Susan, was super lovely and very attentive. I can tell this place is a local favorite for a reason. All this praise to say, I won't return because of their use of AI menus. It's genuinely extremely disappointing, because I really did like everything else. If it weren't for their AI menus, this would be a 5 star review easily. I wouldn't have gone here to begin with if I had known they use AI. Extremely disappointing. ** EDIT - With the knowledge of pulling AI Menus, I am extremely happy to say that I can wholeheartedly recommend Dockside Waterfront Grill. Thank you.
