This restaurant is worth it just for the view! As luck would have it, it also has some of the best food we experienced in the area. The Tarpon fish were swimming around the edge of the restaurant, basically begging for food. It was so fun to watch them! And, as our waitress pointed out, their favorite food is shrimp tails :) We found this restaurant with a yelp search while killing time before our ferry left, and it was the one of the best parts of Culebra! Definitely recommend read more

Dinghy Dock - Caribbean Near Me - Culebra, Puerto Rico

Waterside, super busy on a Saturday evening. The wait for our party of 4 was about 30 minutes. Bar service for just drinks while waiting was very slow, but once seated, our server was friendly and efficient. If 3-bean salad is not your fave, no worries. You can get fries and mashed taters as your sides. Churrasco was good. Chimichurri was not as flavorful as I've had elsewhere. It's made in house and changes, but if they have the chocolate Kahlúa rum cake, get it! While you wait for dessert, which you just get, toss anything left on your plate to the tarpon swarming just at the edge of the restaurant. read more

I was thinking American the way Califonia restaurants are "American fare" this was a delight! I could have made more "American" choices, but there is Seafood and hints of awesome Puerto Rico! I got the Churrasco with coconut shrimp as a app. Oh and the Fresh Banana Daiquiri. Everything was a delight to my taste buds. The view is amazing. The music is not too loud and I can feel myself relaxing. Thank you Dinghy Dock! read more

Good burgers and cold beer with a nice bar area. The restaurant is right on the water with tarpon waiting to grab a few fish scraps tossed their way. The snapper isn't on the menu, but make sure to ask for it in case they have it fresh that day. read more

Dinghy Dock - Having a beer with my tarpon friends. - Caribbean Near Me - Culebra, Puerto Rico

In the corner streets of Culebra, Dinghy Dock was a welcoming space that had tons of reviews. We stopped by for some late lunch to see the place was almost packed with people and families. The ambience and entrance was lovely as you step down the stairs to a splendid view for the afternoon. We got seated just by the deck which had a swarm of huge tarpon fish swimming around the corner, waiting for bits of food. The service was super friendly and we started with some local Pina Coladas along with a plate of crab cakes and coco shrimp. Both these dishes were delicious and crispy at the bite. The quantity however was decent. The restaurant closes down by 3pm for the afternoon and decided to get the Mahi Mahi burger for our main course. This fish burger was a first for me and wow, what a first! The succulent fish tasted amazing with a mix of their white sauce and fries. The slight let down was the burger bun which was a tad bit too soft, but we dint really mind! Be prepared to be accompanied by some annoying flies as you dig in to your food, this is a usual across loads of outdoor seated places in Culebra and Puerto Rico. Overall, the place is a great choice for a lovely afternoon lunch to unwind with family, friends and loved ones. read more

My 60 year old friend tells me how her Dad used to sail his ship to Culebra and pull up here to dine. This place is a staple of the Boat Crowd. No locals... really just the tourists but it's a great location on the harbor with solid food and drinks. A fun bar atmosphere, a dock with entertaining fish to jump up and eat your leftovers. The food is OK... its island food. (When I say this I mean fresh fruits and veggies are scarce, supplies are inconsistent) but seafood is always spot on. Make sure to visit the art gallery next door, for chic Culebra jewelry and TShirts! read more

Dinghy Dock - Inside restaurant with great views - Caribbean Near Me - Culebra, Puerto Rico

The service was AMAZING. Tried both the lunch and dinner menu. My favorite starters were the Crabcakes and the Coconut Shrimp. Sooooo delicious! The jalapeño poppers had a nice kick to them. All the frozen drinks were yummy. Really creamy piña colada, frozen mango is like a dessert and passion fruit is super refreshing. The evening menu was something else. The churrasco with shrimp was so delicious. Meat was super tender and beans were hearty with pumpkin. Salad was good too. The Alaskan Salmon with sweet plantain was also delish, but the fish is more on the dry side. Waiters and waitresses were the sweetest. Really attentive and kind. Overall an amazing experience. My favorite part? Feeding the wacky seagulls and giant fish! read more

If you love taking the outdoors indoors, you will LOVE this dinning experience. The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was full of tropic comfort. This covered open dock dinning area was perfect for our family of 5. Coming from the beach we were sandy and exhausted. The waiter allowed us to use the hose at the end of the dock to clean off the day before diving into our plates. My hubby ordered the fried fish sandwich which was MY favorite. Sadly I chose the mahi-mahi sandwich (Too Fishy) and a Cesar side salad. My youngest got the fish sticks, eating every bite. Our oldest daughter ordered the crab cakes and our youngest chose a salad and BBQ wings. Our leftovers, what little there was, were given to the fish that circled the dock and seagulls waiting for throw always. All in all everyone left full and happy. read more

Love this place. Food is delicious too!! Right on the water, views are spectacular. Bartenders are the best.

Service was okay and so was the food. Drinks weren't great either. We didn't get what we ordered but since the service was slow we didn't bother to ask for it to be changed. My partner enjoyed the red snapper. It was a "happening" crowd for Americans but not what I expect or want when I visit the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. read more

Dinghy Dock - Churrasco with mashed & bean salad. Fantastic! - Caribbean Near Me - Culebra, Puerto Rico

This place was so cool. It is perched just inches above the water with no railing so you have an unencumbered view of the tarpon laying in wait for your leftovers. Diners can pull right up in their dingys. The waitress was very professional and gave great service. Everyone's food was so tasty. Fresh caught fried snapper was delicious. Empanada of the day was outstanding and so was the pasta of the day. Great drink menu, too. I took away a star because the menu was somewhat limited for us non fish-eaters and my salad dressing was a bit too sweet. read more

In Culebra with couple of a coworkers checking off another box on my bucket list, I rented the apartment right above this place (through Airbnb), the apartment is awesome, 2 rooms with a king size bed and a living room with a sofa bed. The restaurant itself is right on the water just as the name suggest, a great selection of food, drinks and music on Saturday. My meal was cooked to perfection, my margaritas were awesome, the view is amazing and the breeze is all I can ask for! We also got free drinks (Thanks Kelly). read more

Relaxed atmosphere as you sit end enjoy food by the father. This restaurant also works as a bar and cafe. They have the fastest internet on the island and many locals will come and sit with a drink and their laptops. By happy hour a lot of locals will come and enjoy drinks and by night, it's a party! Beautiful place to hang out all day around with friendly service. Amazing drinks! read more

I have been coming to this place for almost twenty years and have seen it go through several management/owner changes. Without a doubt the last management change was by far the best! The Food: excellent choices and the menu is a blend of what you would find in the mainland US as well as typical Puerto Rican fare. The Hours: probably the only place in Culebra you will find not only open at 9pm but buzzing with activity. The setting: hard to overstate what an awesome setting it is. You will literally be able to feed the fish swimming off the dock! The Service: one word suffice; excellent! This is probably the only place in all of Puerto Rico where the overwhelming majority of the waiting staff will speak perfect Spanish with an accent. We witnessed a customer drop his cell phone in the water and a waitress literally jumped in the water (I am not making this up) and retrieved it. It happened so fast I could not take a picture of it. She proceeded to the back where she hosed herself with fresh water and 10 minutes later she was back at work with a fresh set of clothes. She never missed a beat. We were mightily impressed! All credit cards welcomed. In summary, this is probably the only place where you will find a true fusion of the mainland with the charm and beauty of Culebra. read more

If you are looking for a cocktail and a view, this is your place. My wife and I tried to enjoy a dinner here on February 18th. After waiting an hour for a table, we found room at the bar. We ordered the crab and shrimp dip for an appetizer and the Alaskan salmon dinner. A waiter brought out a spinach-artichoke dip, and we were told that the restaurant was out of the crab-shrimp dip. So, rather than miss out on an appetizer, we accepted the spinach-artichoke. Guests across the bar were given a crab-shrimp dip before we finished our spinach-artichoke. We waited another 20-30 minutes for our dinner order. When it came, it was cold. The staff did offer a free cocktail along with reheating the plate. However, after being lied to about the appetizer and the wait for the dinner plate, I had enough. We paid and left without any more discussion. I would happily return to give this place another chance given the location and the cocktails. Everyone was friendly. I would bet that a few patrons had 5-star evenings that night, and maybe it just wasn't my night. read more

I highly recommend stoping by this nice place. The atmosphere is all relaxed and good food with a great price and the bar is right there. On a dock with big ass tarpon hanging around lets just say they love French fries and also rice. They go nuts. But try it for your self me and my girl loved it and went twice. And the kaluha cake is Awesome. read more

Desert changes daily. Delicious Key Lime Pie best flavors and texture, Passion Fruit Colada. My wife liked the Passion Fruit Mojito. Flies came when I got my burger and left aftre I finished burger, while sitting at bar, on left, facing the water. No flies when we sat at table near middle of the room. Everyone welcoming. Very friendly. Welcoming male bartender. We went twice, early to avoid people queuing. read more

We had a great meal here. There was a 45 minute wait but they took our number and called us. We had a great seat right by the water so we could see the giant fish that swim by looking for leftovers. We had a special which was salmon with a thin layer of mashed sweet plantains in garlic butter sauce, so delicious with rice and beans as a side. We also had the tuna. Great service, great meal, and they were accommodating with food allergies. read more

There aren't a lot of places to eat in the small island of Culebra, but the places that are here, are pretty darn good. My bf and I sat by the dock next to the water and saw the sunset while eating our seafood. If the food doesn't get you, the breathtaking views of the water, fish and sun will! I remember trying to order a fish on the menu but they said they weren't lucky catching that fish that day, so I know that the food we ate was quite fresh. Everything was delicious from what I remember. It was almost a year ago now so I can't really remember what I had other than rice and beans, but I remember it being good and we cleared our plates. read more

It was great coming back here again! Food was delicious-as always. Fried whole red snapper is always our go to! Our waitress was awesome! And still fed our leftover seafood to the fish off the dock. Make sure to confirm hours-We were there on a Wednesday and Yelp had the hours listed that they opened at 11am but they didn't open until 2:30. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Avoid!!! Turist Trap, bad food, bad service, hot beers, good location but nothing authentic, bad management, loud place, overly priced, dirty, rude waiters and managers hope the owner read this and take sudden action. Probably the only reason they keep in business is because is very well located, but other than that is pretty much downhill! read more

Perfect place for a lunch stop. Nice breeze off the water, huge fish to watch while waiting for your order and good service. We sat at the bar looking out over the water. Very relaxing.

Looked at their dinner menu and will try to make it back again... read more

This is a good local water-side restaurant and outdoor bar. The bartender was nice and accommodating in suggestions for food. The night we went there were many locals there chatting it up with local gossip and all looked friendly. We had a 2lb fried grouper with fries and it was very tasty. The local draft beer selection was minimal (about 4) but adequate for this small place on this island. This is a great place to go at the end of a day and sit with the locals, have a few brews and try some fresh local fish! Worth a visit for sure! read more

Average yelper over here. Today we have an average restaurant for an average yelper. The price was amazing!! I couldn't believe it. They only charged me $21 for a terrible tasting fish. It was clearly frozen before, which I love. Why have fresh Food when you can freeze it. Also I enjoyed my soggy salad! Yummm don't be fooled by the super cheap prices. This is NOT a tourist trap. They just overcharge you for frozen food!! Enjoy P.S. the drink are actually really good. No sarcasm necessary read more

When it comes to food, I yelp absolutely everything and Dinghy Dock was one of the top rated places on Culebra. My friend and I got there a little past 11 am and were the only ones to get a table. More people were sitting at the bar. Whether you're at the bar or have a table, the views are spectacular since Dinghy Dock is on the water. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. I had their Passion Fruit Mojito and it was just what I needed - refreshing, yet with alcohol :) We also ordered some kind of coconut shrimp appetizer and it was yum!!! I had the Mahi Mahi sandwich which was alright. Whatever meat leftovers you may have, they tell you to just feed it to the fish swimming right by you - how awesome is that! Overall a great time at Dinghy Dock! read more

Great food, great atmosphere, and awesome drinks. Gotta have the coco splash which involves rum and coconut water. So you're hydrating and partying at the same time. Come here to meet the locals and learn the scoop. We met one of the diving instructions from the island and he was very helpful and helped us get the most of our trip. Ordered crab cakes to start followed it with the churrasco and rice/beans. Steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and was full of flavor. The person next to me ordered the pork chops and they looked amazing as well. Overall very good food, great atmosphere and very reasonable prices. read more

Went to this place and TWICE they turned us away saying they were closed but they had people at the bar and seated at tables very late after we left. Our place was across where we saw everything. Who turns away business, they sure do. This place is trash. I only added a star just to post on here. read more
