Super nice waiter....we Started out with an order of crab cakes...decent but only offered ketchup, tarter sauce and cocktail sauce...most places have a separate sauce for crab cake...wife had the cod and chips...she said it was good, our friend had the scallops.they were nicely cooked. The rice pilaf was clumpy and mediocre he said....i had the mussels over linguine....the flavor was good and the mussels were the biggest I've had...the issue is, my wife and our friend were done eating by the time my meal showed up...the waiter was very apologetic and comped my friends beer....id try it again read more

We went on a Tuesday 8/27/24. When we first walked in we were greeted by a young gentleman with curly hair and a mustache (I didn't catch his name). He was very nice. So was the other staff! We got the grouper sandwich. It was so big and flavorful! I definitely will go again. We also got gator bites. That was my first time getting them. I'm not a fan. It was kind of tough for me. And we also got onion rings. Those were my favorite along with their horseradish sauce!!! Wish we lived closer. We drove all the way from riverview. Definitely was worth the drive to me! read more

Incredible! There's no other word to describe everything about this place. Food--Incredibly delicious. The Captain's sampler (hubby's favorite) is over the top! The onion rings may just be the world's largest ...certainly the largest I have had seen. I might add they are fried to a deliciously crispy golden perfection. Service--Top of the line. Peak times can be busy , but worth the wait. Everything arrived as ordered and hot out of the kitchen. Friendly and courteous. Seating--FL casual and charming. Inside and patio options. Patio has heating for cooler weather. This is definitely a "go to " place for us. read more

Dockside Daves is a local staple in the Saint Pete, Madeira Beach area. It is the quintessential hole in the wall that has five star food, most specifically the grouper sandwich or dinner. I've been to this place many times, and never, never been disappointing about the quality of the food that I have received. The staff is friendly and attentive, which adds to the experience. If you're in the Saint Pete Beach area, give this place I'll try. I'm sure you won't be disappointed (thank me later).. read more

We were here last year and it was AMAZING! Best grouper sandwich, onion rings and bisque I ever had - truly. We came here this time as soon as we got off the plane, hoping to visit 2-3 times during our visit. But I think yesterday was our last visit as it was NOT the same. First, we pulled in and it was half empty which was not normal. So we wondered what was up and we soon figured out why. The onion rings used to be so crispy but now they were SOAKED in grease and soggy and the taste was like old oil. Then I got the battered grouper sandwich which I really was looking forward to and it was not only smaller but just like the onion rings. It fell apart in my hands and the amount of grease made me nauseous to where I started to vomit. Thankfully the bisque was still really good! A little cold but flavor was good. Turns out the original owner retired in November and that must be the reason. I remember her from the last visit and she ran a tight ship and had high standards. I hope the new owners can return it to its former glory. I feel bad leaving this review bc it's locally owned but I also know that it's not cheap and want to save people money who thought read more

Dockside Dave's is one of our favorite places to eat when in the area. We were greeted at the entrance and seated right away. This is a very busy place during the tourist season, FYI. There was no outside dining the evening we were there in early November so we sat inside, which was fine. My husband and I split the Grouper dinner and a small order of Onion Rings. The small order of onion rings were adequate for the two of us. They are always so good with a light breading and I highly recommend starting with them. We ordered the Grouper lightly blackened and it was delicious. The fries and vegetables were also good. Service was efficient and friendly. read more

I've been coming down to this area since '72. Dockside Dave's was THE place for 'grouper sandwich' for almost 40 yrs. My dad even helped Dave choose the right windows when the originals were replaced about 20 yrs ago. Then Dave retired and sold. Over the next year or so, Dave's grouper didn't change much, but it started to slip. After 2-3 years, it simply wasn't the same. I suspect the cook with the knowledge left and nobody cared to learn. Now enter the time when the name alone carried it, but it wasn't the same. Portion size shrunk, prices went up, but worse, the flavor was missing. Instead of going every 3-4 days it was once a visit. Tonight was an epiphany. Forget Dave's grouper sandwich. Go for Dave's COD! Fabulous flavor! Great portion size! Great price! Dockside Dave's- Cod is Great! read more

We came here for a lunch mid-week while on a trip to see some family. Did not disappoint! We were seated immediately and they helped secure a high chair for our little one. Wine and beer were promptly brought out after ordering (Can't comment on liquor drinks/mixology here). Our group was all-in on the grouper... My mother-in-law had it blackened, my husband ordered his in a sandwich blackened, and I ended up with the shrimp po'boy. The kids went with the grouper nuggets and they were a hit. We've had grouper sandwiches in other places and this place was definitely up there in ranking with the best. My shrimp po'boy was phenomenal - I loved the sauce on the side so I could control sogginess and amount, and the shrimp were gulf red shrimp (no frozen bland ones here!). My kid even ate most of my shrimp out along with his fish. One thing to note is that they don't have milk, so if you're bringing kids, lemonade is about your only option (aside from water) Overall - kind server, good food, and fun place! read more

Dockside Dave's is a local favorite and some thing I recommend to anyone that's looking for fresh caught, off the boat, local seafood. I honestly probably eat here at least once a week and what I order continually changes. They have a special board that rotates their fresh catches and in my opinion they have some of the best grouper in town. I am also a big fan of their smoked fish bread, their country fried shrimp and oysters, and do not forget about their homemade hand dipped gigantic onion rings. They do carry some local draft beers on tap as well as bottles and wine. Do not skip out on the cheesecake either... Thank me later read more

I picked up a $28 fish sandwich to go at Dockside Daves and left a $10.00 tip in cash. When I got my American Express bill, the total for dockside Dave's $228. I called the owner and he sent me a picture of the receipt. I signed it and did not draw a line through the tip since I left $10 cash so one of the servers wrote in $200 and wrote the letter of my last name, it was obviously not my writing (nor can I afford to leave $200 tip for a takeout order) Although Brandon (owner?) was quick to find the receipt, he never returned my call. He denied the servers name on the receipt had anything to do with it, I have been going to the last five locations of Dockside Dave's for 30 years I am sad that I'm not able to return nor will my family or friends because of the theft going on in this location read more

We would have sent it back...but we never saw the waitress till she asked us if we were ready for the check. At that point...what's the point. My grilled chicken was very tasty but the sweet pickle was weird. Who puts sweet pickles on things....not on burgers or grilled chicken.....

So nice we had to visit TWICE…read more The coconut crusted mahi mahi was a highlight. It was soft and fully coated with obviously real coconut - not sugared or overly sweet. It was a huge fillet, which makes up for having some smaller sides. I'll let you in on a little secret, I only eat fish when it's locally caught and fresh and this was worth it 100%. The house salad with Pima colada dressing has me imagining how to make this dressing at home. Sweet and creamy and easily coating every leaf. The bread at the start of the meal for a disproportionate amount of attention from my family. It was served hot, with garlic and maybe other seasonings across the top, and generous sides of butter. Our initial server, Kyle, kept the bread flowing for us until the meal came and it was fantastic. We gave the potato skins a try, and they were delicious! My family ironically isn't huge conch / shelled fish eaters so the rest of the appetizers didn't suit us much and this was a lil Midwest taste while on vacation. We returned to try the jalapeño crusted grouper and were again very satisfied. Totally different than the coconut mahi, it's savory and well flavored but leaves you far from begging for water. The fish is thick and flaky and the sauce was similar to a bang bang sauce to pair it all together. The favorite sides were loaded baked potato and garlic smashed potatoes!

They had a fresh catch of grouper that day, so we decided to try the grouper nuggets. They're market price, but absolutely worth it. Even our friend preferred them over his fried fish. The batter was light, crispy, and delicious. Our kids ordered the bacon cheese fries and loved them. Just a heads-up: they use a nacho cheese sauce rather than shredded cheese, which some people may prefer to know ahead of time. Our friend from Massachusetts ordered the lobster sub (also market price) and said it was worth every penny. My husband and I split the grouper nuggets and the Philly cheesesteak. The bread is brought in from up north, and our server's recommendation did not disappoint. The sandwich was rich, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the onion rings. They use a beer batter, which wasn't our favorite, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism. Overall, we'd definitely return if we're in the area again. The only downside was parking--$29.99 for two hours is pretty brutal. Thankfully, the food and atmosphere helped make up for it.

Snappers was packed at 6:30pm on a Tuesday night. However, as it was late July, we were able to get a table outside right away. There are fans to help with the heat, and it's well ventilated so there was a nice breeze. Our server was prompt and friendly. The menu was seafood with an Asian flair. We started with the crab stuffed portobello (probably the weakest part of the meal) and delicious coconut shrimp. After that, our entrees came with salads, which were also great (tortilla chips and a zesty dressing made it more fun than your usual house salad, but it didn't feel too decadent). I got the snapper, which was served over coconut rice and with a delicious curry sauce and mango chutney. The curry reminded me more of thinner Japanese curry versus Indian or Thai, which I loved. The snapper itself was a nicely-sized piece and was cooked/seasoned perfectly with a hint of spice. The coconut sticky rice was so addictive!! The sweetness of the mango chutney just made each bite a wonderful flavor explosion. I would 100% recommend this dish. My husband got the coconut cashew crusted mahi, which was also excellent (and another huge portion of fish). It seems like you can't go wrong here with a fish dish!

They accommodated our request to have a table at a window overlooking the ICW. Our reservation was at 8 pm on a weekday and the place was crowded and the parking lot packed. The Salt Rock is a large restaurant with a few dining rooms as well as outdoor seating. It is a classy place with nice decor. We started with a few drinks that were expertly prepared. They offer fresh bread with seasoned olive oil which was excellent. We both ordered Filet Mignon with baked potatoes and grilled asparagus. Everything thing was first rate. The filets were perfectly cooked. Our Server, Hayley M., was one of the highlights of the meal. She was so personal and accommodating. Haley is a great waitress and a credit to the restaurant. Overall a great experience.

Hadn't been here in many years, but wanted to see if it was just as great as before…read more While we had a later timed reservation for the 4th of July, we were able to be accommodated for our earlier 45min arrival at 5pm. They were pretty busy so that was awesome. We were immediately sat in their sushi room, the ambiance a bit outdated. Our server from the get go seemed rushed and distracted, but kindly answered our questions and took our order. Our steak tartar appetizer took a long time to arrive. Sadly wasn't up to par and seemed kinda mushier than any I've ever tasted. It also lacked seasoning, so giving that 2 stars. The accompaniments on the plate helped so it wasn't a total failure but still a disappointment. Their courtesy sourdough bread and olive oil with herbs was good. Our meal also took a long time to arrive. When it did, we had to ask for forks because apparently somebody didn't set the table correctly... and server didn't notice before our dinner service. He should have noticed when bringing out our appetizer at the very least. As for the main entrees, The panko hogfish and garlic mash was good, as well as the picatta sauce, 4stars. The filet mignon kabob with shrimp scampi was disappointing, 1.5 stars. We couldn't tell it was filet mignon and double checked the menu later thinking it was some other cut of beef. The shrimp in itself had a different odd taste. Not the scampi sauce which was good but the actual shrimp. We were not pleased at all with this type of shrimp. While our server glanced over at us several times before the appetizer, he didn't check on us again till about half way through the main course. By then I wasn't feeling well and had my husband flag him down to start our exit service. That took awhile too. 2 stars in service. For what this place use to be like back in the day, I would say the service and food quality have gone down. Today's experience was less than favorable and below average. For the price of the food, I would say we didn't get what we paid for. 2 sodas, 1 appetizer and 2 entrees was $110.. what we got in return didn't match. So to answer the magic question, no, we will not be giving this place our business anymore. Several misses on the food quality and execution made it less than desirable to give this restaurant another chance, especially at this higher price point as well.

They have a self serve water and soda station. The lobster is on the pricier side. It used to not be $30 however it is very worth it. I love to get the warm lobster roll and it comes with a lobster butter. I like to get their coconut shrimp since it's hand battered on site and also their onion rings are also hand battered made to order. They have a really good smoky dipping mayo sauce that comes with the onion rings or fries. It is a very good sauce. I would say it's the saltier version of cane sauce and a small gear version as well. It's absolutely phenomenal. You will never find a better coconut shrimp or a better onion rings than here this place really does it very well better than any place I've ever had homemade. The lobster roll is very very fresh. I would definitely get it again. It is always always fresh. You'll never get a bad lobster roll here not like at the other places. I think this is the only place in Florida that does it the best I used to fly to Boston just to get a lobster roll and ever since I've been here I don't have to do that anymore lol.

I was excited to visit this restaurant after its reopening, and overall, the food did not disappoint. However, my experience was overshadowed by an uncomfortable interaction. While dining, I was engaged in a respectful conversation about religion with another willing participant at my table. At no point was the discussion disruptive or directed at other guests. Despite this, I was asked to leave because it was reportedly upsetting nearby customers who could not hear my conversation. I understand the importance of maintaining a comfortable environment for all patrons, but being asked to leave over a private, mutual conversation felt excessive and disappointing. It took away from what otherwise could have been a very positive experience. I hope the management team in the future takes a more balanced and thoughtful approach to handling these type of situations in the future. read more

It was a cold night in March but the restaurant was uncomfortably warm. After a few minutes our waitress came to the table to take drink orders, but she seemed to be on a different planet. We all had to repeat ourselves & had a difficult time understanding her. Only 3 beers on draft, Modelo, Mic Ultra, & something I don't remember. No Miller Lite , but this disappointment was nothing compared to the rest of our dinner. First up, the onion rings appetizer. It looked good, but was mostly just thick batter that was a little underdone. Next, peel & eat shrimp. No complaints, aside from that we asked for cocktail sauce & never received it. Then we all received our meals. My friend ordered a salad with chicken tenders, immediately once cutting into her salad she finds a frozen crinkle fry in the salad. Take note, the restaurant does NOT have crinkle fries (check everyone else's photos to confirm!). My husband ordered Mahi but received Wahoo, said it was very overcooked, and his potato was so overcooked it was too hard to stick a fork in. My other friend & I ordered grouper platters. His was fried, the shrimp friend with the shell still on which was odd. Mine was blackened & it was just OK until both my shrimp had something super hard in it & then my very next bite of fish had a bone in it . We had the manager come over & expressed our concerns, she didn't seem to sure what to do but said this is not the norm & requested the kitchen manager come out. The salad & potato were replaced & she took 50% off the bill. The kitchen manager also kinda seemed like he wasn't sure what to do either. Offered to remake food but by this point we weren't up for it. Waitress wasn't around during this & wasn't even aware our bill was half comped. It was a very off experience & given the other reviews it can't be their norm, but we won't be able to give them another try.

The jalapeño, in particular, provided a pleasant kick that elevated the dish nicely. Tedie and I both ordered the grouper tacos. The restaurant keeps things simple, offering each fish prepared in only three different styles. Tedie chose the "Florida Man" preparation (broiled), while I selected the "Dirté."(fried) The fish appeared to be either red or gag grouper. Interestingly, she preferred mine, while I found myself enjoying hers a bit more. The cucumber spaghetti side was refreshing, though I think it could benefit from a bolder flavor profile. It's something I'll likely recreate at home with a bit more seasoning. The Cajun fries were well-executed and made for a satisfying accompaniment. Overall, I'm glad we gave this place a try and would recommend it to others. In terms of value for the money, I'd rate it a solid 7 out of 10.
