The location and views are simply amazing. The service fantastic from Start to finish. Out tropical cocktails yummy and all the dishes we tried fantastic. Cannot wait to return to this open air, bayside restaurant and feel the balmy breezes on my sunburn. read more

We went on a Wednesday night to have dinner. Our server had tables and the bar so she couldn't check in very often. There was some wait for the food and she never came back to ask if we wanted another drink. When the food came out both fish filets were overcooked, seasoned well but chewy. The sides were okay. The environment is what makes this place. It was fun to watch the fish and feed them. read more

Great dinner! Go early if you want to avoid the wait. There was already a line by 6pm (we went at 5pm). The view is fantastic and never a dull moment with the large tarpon fish waiting for scraps. The tuna steak and skirt steak were delicious. Great drinks (mojito and piña colada) Staff were great. Quick and attentive (not the typical slow island pace). read more

This place is very cool. Our drinks at the bar took a while and were made incorrectly but the bar manager quickly fixed them for us. We ordered tuna and fish for dinner and shared both plates. The food was good. The bean salad was weird but overall it was a good meal by the water. read more

What a view! This was the best dinner on the island, hands down. I NEEDED the French fries after a week of none. This Kentucky girl loves her potato's lol. The bbq chicken was really juicy and tender, my husband had whole snapper and was so happy with it. Kiddo had chicken wings but they didn't exactly hit the spot for him. However, the brownie sundaes were warm and delicious. Thanks for a wonderful evening watching the sun set. read more

Fun place to eat. I went here because Happy cow claimed there were Vegan options which they didn't have an entree for me. But I ordered a house salad and the three bean salad and mixed them together which was quite good. My son had a veggie burrito which he didn't like, but he is very picky. My husband had tuna and said it was good. So I would say probably don't go here unless you want fish. We were seated by the dock, and apparently in the bar area. Service was very lacking we practically had to flag someone down anytime we needed something. They were very busy though so there is that. Fun to see the fish swimming so close to the dining area. People threw French fries and fish bones to the fish. read more

Food was delicious. (I'd stay away from the grilled octopus, not my favorite, little more on the chewy side). My favorite was the whole fried snapper, and the snapper filet. Three bean salad (chefs kiss). The wings and the kalula cake were top notch. When I stayed on the island I went three nights in a row. Service was good, we kinda sat all over the place during our visits each time. Drinks were amazing and on the stronger side. The vibe is for locals and tourists. They encourage you to feed the fish with leftovers. It's nice the view is amazing. Definitely worth the visit! read more

i had the best red snapper i ever ate in my life here! i'm still thinking about right now, it was that good. The restaurant is right by the water, you can feed the fish if you would like. We even fed a huge bird that was flying by lol. The service was really good. I also ordered a honey mule and octopus salad. All were 10/10. I will be back, mark my words read more

Great food, great service. I love the drinks as well. Must go here if you are on Culebra. Highly recommend the steak and the tuna as well as the coconut shrimp. Came in with average expectations and got blown away every time I ate here. MUST. GO. Always anonymous, Bob. B. read more

Food was wonderful. Ribs were excellent and fell off the bone. Vegetarian wrap was delicious. Tostones were crispy, mashed yucca delicious. They offer gluten free pita bread which was warm and very tasty. Cocktails were great. Atmosphere was lovely. Would definitely recommend, far exceeded expectations. read more

We stumbled upon this gem after a long day in the sun. The food, drink, and ambiance were perfect for unwinding after our beach day and before catching the ferry. It was fun watching the staff throw some food scraps into the water for the massive fish to take advantage. A show and eco-friendly by not having food waste? win-win! read more

The service was great and the food delicious. The fish is fresh and the sides are great.

The whole fried snapper (chillo frito entero) is the best meal I've ever had in a restaurant. Period. The service was great, the view of the channel is beautiful and my wife and I enjoyed a slow dinner here in our first night in Culebra after a beautiful day at the beach. Don't go to Puerto Rico without eating here, its BREATHTAKING! read more

Food I not as good as it used to be! Kevin is great! Ambiance is great! Drinks are great!

I'll keep it short and simple. The staff is horrible. I was there today at night (08/20/25) and was waiting to be seated. The person responsible for helping made us feel like we were bothering her by showing up and wouldn't even look at us while answering. When asked how much wait time- she responded very rudely and that's when I knew I'm not spending my money in that place. No thankyou. You need to train your staff better- it doesn't take much to be nice. Overall very disappointed- will not be coming back. read more

Although the island of Culebra may be small, there are a few hidden gems scattered throughout; Dinghy Dock being one of them, without a doubt. While cruising around in our golf cart rental, we spotted Dinghy Dock and added it to our list of places we wanted to check out. That evening, we headed over for dinner. Upon arrival, there were several parties waiting outside and the quoted wait time was 30-45 mins. Luckily, the other parties were larger in size, so we snagged two spots at the bar relatively quickly. The bartender was prompt to greet us, which I always appreciate. For starters, I ordered the crab dip. It arrived hot, looked great, and I really enjoyed it. Moving on to entrees, I ordered the salmon with bean salad, and a side house salad. My salmon was cooked perfectly, tasted fresh, and exactly what I hoped it would be. Throughout our experience, the bartender was attentive and efficient. Admittedly unexpected, this was probably the best meal I had on our whole vacation. Food and service aside, you can't beat the breathtaking view of crystal blue water, sprinkled with boats, against a backdrop of mountainous forests. For me, the serenity is humbling and energizing. PS. At the edge of the dock there are tarpon fish you can feed in the water & they go wild! read more

Waited over an hour, as hostess had warned us - and this is "off season"! Worth the wait for great view, tasty food, diverse menu - sooo glad of that variety and all well prepared. Casual ambience Waitstaff encourages you to feed certain scraps to fish which are very aggressive in attacking the leftovers. Enjoyed fish special and pork as well as several local specialty side dishes. read more

A long set of stairs leads down to a chill bar area and and open restaurant right on the dock. Harpoon fish are constantly being fed scraps. Sitting next to the water became annoying as other patrons stood near my table also feeding fish and we were being splashed. I noticed the restaurant itself was feeding them a black bean patties, which none of them ate. So I probably wouldn't order that. However the churrasco steak was amazing as was the red snapper. The BBQ chicken was good. The star of the show was the kidney beans!!! Oh my goodness, I cannot say enough how authentic they were-so flavorful! This should be everyone's first stop! I ate my food so fast I forgot to take pics. read more

Amazing staff--so kind and fun Delicious food--bomb mashed potatoes! (And I'm from WI so I know mashed potatoes lol) Beautiful & clean business inside and out. I loved watching the tarpon. read more

A great spot with island vibes. Right on the water and you could see all the fish swimming around. Our server was amazing, super friendly and made recommendations on the food. The food and drinks were all great. Gluten Free: Was worried we would not find any gluten free options on such a small island. However, this place was a hidden gem. Our server was very knowable, and walked us through the whole menu since items are not marked. There were a decent amount of options and the server gave us confidence in our ability to eat there. read more

Fried Snapper (FIRE!!!) Skirt steak equally as good! You literally can't go wrong here, everything is delicious. Highly recommend the banana daiquiri, fried tostones & bean salad for sides! Will be back - Jordan from Cali read more

I recently spent a week long vacation with my family in Culebra. We were concerned that Dinghy Dock wouldn't be open. Thankfully it was and were able to have dinner here one night. Excellent experience. The food was great. Everything was a hit, from the appetizers to the main courses to the dessert. We ordered fish and meat dishes and they were all excellent. The place was packed that night but that didn't affect the service. Our waitress was on point all evening. Kudos to her. I'm glad Dinghy Dock has survived these times and has come back strong. I believe this is the best restaurant in Culebra right now. Currently they operate on limited hours: Tuesday-Saturday from 2:30-8:30pm, closed Sunday and Monday. Don't know when or if they will update these hours. read more

Service is great , Employees all have positive attitudes and being a boater you can visit by dinghy.

Our waitress was not attentive at all, but some of the others were great & did a better job than ours. The food was great, everyone enjoyed their meal & the location of the restaurant made it a great dinner. Although there are a lot of mosquitos since it's by the water so be sure to have some bug spray. read more

Came here for dinner with my husband. We came at a good time because an hour later it looked like there was a long wait. It's conveniently located close to the ferry. It's nice and cool to be on the water. There a HUGE fish next to the dock that you can feed. We ordered some drinks that were delicious, I had a lemonade drink that was refreshing. We had coconut shrimp as an appetizer. I had the mahi mahi with the three bean salad and breadfruit tostones. My husband had the yellowtail fish and gave it to the big fish by the dock and they went bananas! We had a nice experience here, I recommend it! read more

You have to stop at Dinghy Dock if you're in Culebra! The hours are a bit odd but what hours aren't in Culebra! It's a great spot for cocktails and apps. The coconut shrimp and bushwackers are definitely a great combo there! You meet so many people traveling from all over the world so I would recommend sitting at the bar (facing the ocean if you can) so you can meet people and watch all the boats coming in. My favorite part is that boats and jetskis pull right up to the restaurant to eat! It's a Culebra staple for sure! read more

The view. The drinks. The food. Everything was amazing! Great place to hang while waiting for the ferry. Definitely stopping by everytime im there. Dont pass on the banana daiquiri. Best tropical drink I've ever had read more

This place is a bar on a bay trying to help you acclimate to this wonderful island of Culebra. It gives the tourist the vibe while serving you up a taste of Puerto Rico with a buzz to go along with it. If you order the whole snapper you get to feed its bones to the gang of tarpon hanging at the bay ---pretty unique experience. read more

The food was amazing, the fish was real fresh, I have been looking for that particular taste of fresh fish since I moved back to Puerto Rico, I will need to take more often the ferry! The host and waitresses were very attentive. I had the Mahi-mahi with Salad and "tostones", plantain fritters. The artichoke dip was exquisite! The Pita bread vey fresh! Only one issue, the flies were bothering only when the food showed up however, we need to remember that we are in a fisherman coast town, so problem with me there. read more

So happy to be back in Culebra! Not a lot of places open but this place knocks it out of the park! The food could not be any more fresh. I am almost positive they catch it right off the dock! At least it tastes that way. Fresh food, strong drinks and great staff! read more

From the covered open air waterfront dining room to the incredible food, Dinghy Dock hit this dinner out of the park. I ordered the Churrasca, which is skirt steak, with mashed potatoes and three bean salad. It was amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly and I loved the chimichurri. I chose a side mashed potatoes, which were well seasoned and needed nothing added. I'm not a fan of beans to the bean salad wasn't up my alley but the others seemed to like it. I also tried a bite of my friend's snapper and it was the perfect combination of crispy skin and flaky fish. Personally, I would prefer the filet to the entire fish staring at me on the plate but it tasted incredible. My vegetarian boyfriend didn't have a lot of options so he settled for the vegetarian dish of the day, which happened to be veggie lasagna. He likes things spicy and thought his dish was greatly enhanced with some of the local hot sauce that our waiter brought over to the table. Since we were on vacation, I indulged with a Rum Punch, that was both tropical and cheap at $6.50. It's hard to find a mixed drink that isn't twice that price in San Diego! The open air ambiance of the dockside restaurant was amazing. I loved sitting outdoors with the roof to protect us from the rain and soaking in the slightly muggy but still comfortable night air. The giant fish off the dock were fascinating to watch, especially when they got treats of people's leftover fish and it turned into a feeding frenzy! read more

The food here was good. My group got the steak and shrimp, buffalo wings, caesar salad and some drinks. Everything was delicious. The pomegranate shots are recommended. The service was kind of slow and some people did seem passive aggressive but it was also somewhat busy too. Ambiance is lively and the tarpons were huge in the water. read more

We loved both our meals at Dinghy Dock! the burgers, steaks and fish were all awesome, with left overs, definitely try the breadfruit tostones and a bushwacker!
