Based on the information I was under the impression Dock Street Cafe was easy to access once on the Produce Distribution Center compound. I thought I could enter the restaurant directly from a door outside of the compound. WRONG! To start I was in an SUV so I had to pay $3 to get in and park. Make sure you display the parking receipt because parking ticket are and will be issued. Make sure you park near building C so you can enter the building, make sure you walk on the 'pedestrian path'. If you do not use the dedicated path you run a major risk of being mowed down by the many moving forklifts. But once you find the restaurant it will be worth it once you place and have your order.

I ordered brioche french toast and creamed chipped beef. All of the food was packed to go in styrofoam containers which made me a little nervous. I drove home about 15 minutes away to be pleasantly surprised,

The total price for the order of 2 very large slices of french toast with berries and chipped cream beef with tax, $13.93. Will I go again although I have to pay $3 to park? Probably... read more
