    Salmon sandwich with fries and a side of ranch
    Jackie F.

    A very good stop on the lake. Right off of 4MM and a good amount of boat parking. Dock Knockers offers a variety of seafood and it's all really good. I've tried several things on the menu and have never been disappointed. The crab cake sandwich is my favorite! The salmon sandwich I got this last trip was good but needed a little bit more sauce to make it perfect. They also have a few frozen drinks that are the average price on the lake. They are an order at the counter restaurant so you need to go to the bar for drinks and the counter inside for food. They call your name over the intercom when it's ready! Overall it's a restaurant I frequent in the summer. The only bad thing is that sometimes there is a slight odor outside the restaurant, from the trash I'm sure.

    Based on menu description, I ordered "3 shrimp tacos and limes". What came out was 3 cold, unseasoned shrimp in a tortilla with pepper jack sliced cheese and "slaw" which was onion and soggy tomato very, very watery. So watery to the point you couldn't even pick up the tortillas without them slipping. Others in my group ordered pork potato boats which came out cold, and another ordered a side of corn casserole. Since the kitchen ran out, they went ahead and gave her no side and after we went to get a substitute, we got potato salad that was separated and extremely oily. Unfortunately not worth the 30 minute wait on a slow Monday afternoon...

    Seriously Docknockers?!?! Tiis is the second time I ordered a WELL DONE burger and got raw hamburger! I get that is what happens when You hire twelve year olds, but get your act together!! At least the entertainment was good.

    Mahi mahi tacos and snow crab legs

    Decided to come here after reading reviews about the crab legs. So glad we decided to check it out! It was a fun, causal atmosphere with friendly (and funny) staff. There were various games around the outside patio that were fun to mess with while waiting for our food (cornhole, some hook game with string).The guys working behind the food service were exceptional. They answered all of our questions and when I was disappointed the crab legs didn't come with fries, they threw some in there for me. The seafood was amazing. It did not disappoint. To top off our evening, I left my to go box on the table on accident and it got thrown away. when the staff found out, they sent me home with a to go box with more food in it then the original! Highly recommend this fun and friendly place with great drinks and food. (Great live music too!)

    Great crab legs! The atmosphere is fun and the location is handy to get to by water. The new docks are nice.

    Not open when they say they're supposed to be. Drove all the way from the highway and it was closed.

    Love this place. We go by boat and bring the dogs. Everything has been very good each visit. We…read morelike the dry rub and garlic parm wings. My new go to is the Birria tacos. It's a lot of food especially after a few wings. Three corn tortilla tacos stuffed with I believe it was shredded beef and some type of Mexican cheese. Served with a really good au jus type sauce and another cold sauce, maybe mango salsa? It's well worth the price and you probably have a full taco left over for lunch the next day.its covered open-air seating with several TVs above the bar and some games to play in the coveted patio open space. They have a stage so I'm sure there is music in the evening but we usually go for lunch or early dinner. Great view out to the water and plenty of parking slips for boats. It's right behind Pointe Oasis gas dock.

    Boating to Lake House 13 is always a must when we are out in the Ozarks! We were so excited to…read morevisit again this past weekend (Sunday July 27, 2025). Sadly, it was by far the most disappointing dining experience of all the times we have visited. At this most recent visit, we noticed there were not that many customers sitting inside or outside. Even though it was super hot and humid, we still opted for an outdoor table to get the full lakeside experience! Instant regret because we were all dying from dehydration and getting just water took painfully long. Our server was apologetic though so no big deal. Now onto the food. We always start with an order of cheese curds because how can you not! For my entree, I was really craving a salad. I was debating between the House salad and the Greek salad but ultimately decided on the Greek solely because the latter came with chickpeas and artichokes! Yum! We shouldn't have been surprised that the food also took forever to come out...but we were.. because again we always had good experiences.. Cheese curds came out crispy and heavenly so no complaints there! But my buddha my poor salad. The greens were overdressed and there was not a chickpea or artichoke in sight! Hello chickpea artichoke where are you?! I really didn't want to complain but it was an expensive salad so we ended up letting our server know just so she can inform the chef that some key ingredients were missing just as an FYI. Well our server later informs us that the chef didn't forget the ingredients, they just ran out but didn't bother telling anyone????? I don't know bro but that's just messed up. Especially when you still end up serving a tiny portion with missing ingredients. We paid for the check and still left a good tip because it wasn't our servers fault but what a pretty disappointing experience all around. -Sailor out
