3.0 maybe a 3.5 at best. Small parking lot, which is fine unless it's busy. Not much of a water view just a small area where there are docked boats but it does have a pretty outside setting. Cool bar. I knew we were doomed when our zero percentage personality of a waitress showed up. Nice selection of drinks. I eat all over and typically don't care about pricing. However, if I pay $20 for a hamburger I expect fries as a bonus not some up charge to substitute overdone kettle chips or Cole slaw. Chicken tenders were very dry. We ordered the apple and beet salad that never came with apples (see picture). It was delicious though and very light on the dressing so be sure to ask for more on the side. The chicken ranch sandwich was average. Best meal was my dox burger, which I would have again but never will since I'm not returning. We would have tried dessert but I just wanted to get out of there after waiting forever for the waitress. I like that you pay at the table like you do in Canada or Europe but she never came back with my receipt so, inconveniently, I had to stop by the hostess stand to obtain my receipt. read more

Great experience, from the food, to the views, to the staff. My son has food allergies and the staff was great working with us and the chef to make sure he had something safe to eat. We sat outdoors, which had nice lake views and it was beautiful watching the sun set while listening to live music. Drinks were plentiful and refreshing, and the food hit the spot. Everyone in the restaurant was vibing to the music and having a great time! read more

Went here on a Monday evening for dinner before seeing JT at the Bank of NH Pavilion. We got there around 430p and the main dinning room was not crowded at all however the tables on the deck with water view were very busy. I had the blackened salmon with broccoli which was very good. Service was good too. Parking can be a bit of a challenge with a small off-street lot and you must pay attention to the directional arrows on the pavement of one way in and one way out. read more

Service was wonderful . Ambiance was great. Worst grilled (artesian) cheese ever. It was on sourdough bread. Not sure if it was the cheese or the bread. 3 of us tried it and couldn't take more than 1 bite. Advise tasting before next order. read more

Heidi C rocks! Great person and waitress. Friendly and funny. Grateful place for a great meal and atmosphere is superb!

Stopped by location while visiting friends. The menu consists of various food such as burgers, bbq, tacos, etc and the location also has a full bar and live music. The service was fast and very pleasant. The food was prepared well and was fresh. Parking can be a challenge when location busy. read more

We came in around 1:30 on a Tuesday for lunch. It's 92 degrees outside and they apparently do not only not have air conditioning, but they have their patio windows open making it hot and muggy inside. The ceiling fans cannot combat this. If I wanted to sit in the heat, I would've asked to sit outside. If the AC is on, it's not enough to compete with the exterior temps. It's hot and uncomfortable in here. The strawberry daiquiri was bad. They clearly have a Virgin base and then just pour a shot in, but don't mix it. The result is a very unbalanced drink. The Dox Loves Peg was okay. I wasn't overly impressed. Again, the drink needed to be mixed. My biggest gripe was the water is room temp and they don't even give you a cup of ice. Warm water on a hot day. Wow, how refreshing! The burger was tasty, the meat blend on the Dox burger was so tasty and the patties were a good size. We didn't like that the burger comes with chips and if you want fries, it's a $2 up charge. It's a burger and fries, for Pete's sake. It's a classic combo. The spicy shrimp tacos were 1) not spicy, and 2) awkward to eat. The shrimp is too big, like one size down and three shrimp instead of 2 would've been better. The coleslaw was good, but there should've been more. The flour tortilla made me giggle because I always forget when I come back that we're not in a place with a large Latino population so I'm going to get flour and not corn. The corn would've taken this to the next level. They were still good but definitely could have used more spice. Everyone is talking about the great ambiance. I'm not seeing it. It's just a bar. And the food prices are high. Three tacos for $18 is DC/NY/LA pricing. And they don't even come with a side. I'd come back. It'd be reluctant because of the prices, but those shrimp tacos were good. read more

Thank you Michelle and the wait staff at Dox for a flawless dinner!! It gave me great satisfaction and pride that I could treat our wedding guests to such a nice event. Many thanks to Dox and the Mariano Restaurant Group! Sincerely, Kevin McGowan read more

Stopped here on a Sunday for brunch. Great vibes and lakeside setting and decor, Friendly hostess and waitress, excellent service. Nice bar area w large TV's, enjoyed the Chive TV station. Drink menu was creative with good variety. There was even a coffee flight. The veggie Benedict was one of the best I've had. It's my go to when traveling. Super! As was the hash browns that were put in a waffle iron, so yummy. Husband had the chicken and waffles which was very tasty as well. Will definitely go back when in the area. read more

We recently hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner and Welcome Party at Dox and could not have been more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, the entire evening was absolutely perfect, and it truly set a magical tone for our wedding weekend. Michele and the entire Dox staff deserve immense credit for their professionalism and impeccable service. A special shout out to Taylor who did a fantastic job and was able to manage such a large group, flawlessly, ensuring every one of our guests was taken care of and had a wonderful time. The food was spectacular. All our guests were incredibly impressed with the menu selections, the high quality of the ingredients, and how perfectly each dish was prepared. We couldn't imagine having a better meal in the lakes region. The setting was just perfect. We were able to sit outside which matched the vibe we wanted for our lake wedding. We even enjoyed some live music, which added to the fantastic atmosphere without being too loud. Thank you, Dox, for providing such a memorable and stress-free event. Our family and friends are still raving about the beautiful evening. We are so grateful we chose you to start our celebration! read more

Food was gross! pancakes had to be cut with a knife and tasted like cardboard. hollandaise sauce was unpresentable and sour. service took forever and waitress could care less. Worst breakfast experience I've ever experienced. I wish I could attach photo of hollandaise sauce. read more

After seeing a fun online ad for a seasonal coffee flight, I was intrigued! I had never been to DOX before and a coffee flight sounded delicious. I called first and asked if there was any way to do them without dairy/if they had an alternative milk and the girl in the phone said "yes!". We get there and I don't see it on the menu but then my husband found it under alcohol specials. I asked our waitress if the coffees are all alcoholic and she says yes. I asked if it could be made without alcohol and she says "no they're all pre-made by the bar tender"...including with milk. I left pretty disappointed, as the post didn't say alcohol and the girl on the phone made it sound like it was modifiable coffee beverages. I made a comment on their post about them being pre-made and alcoholic and they eventually did change it to say "boozy coffee flights", and they deleted my comment. Layered miscommunication without an apology of any kind. read more

Finally stopped in for late lunch early dinner! ( now that the summer rush has passed) . Seated by the front window, street view. This was a bit scary as they also park right there and well its a tight squeeze! Anxiety me was thinking oh boy someone is going to back up through this window! Waitress was friendly and gave us suggestions! I had the drunken apple drink , and then we did the street corn dip for an app. I then ordered the New England Short ribs with a cranberry glaze, the meal was amazing although a lil more cranberry glaze demi sauce would of been great, it was mostly just cranberries. Husband had Short ribs & mac / Cheese dish , it was also amazing! Portions are huge! Do go hungry! read more

We stopped here for dinner one Saturday night. Our server was very friendly and helpful. She gave us great advice about the menu. It was a quaint restaurant with great service. read more

I want to like this place so much. It's local, it has great ambiance and the service is excellent. I've been to this location 4 times now and each time has been disappointing, primarily the food specifically. We ate there this past weekend and decided it would be our last visit. My biggest complaints - the food is not at all consistent. Some things have been ok but some have been terrible. And the prices are far too high for the food you get. For example, I ordered a salad with fried feta at our last visit. The salad was tasty but resembled a side salad in size and it was $17. That has been a repetitive theme there - small portions for too much money. Also, at our visit yesterday, we waited a very long time for our food and it wasn't that busy. It's a shame because, again, the ambiance is nice and every server we've had has been excellent. read more

We are there two nights ago. Food was very good. However, the service was not. Extremely SLOW. It took forever to get our dessert. We thought they were out picking the apples. And it took even longer to get our check. read more

So happy to see this property finally thrive after a long vacant hiatus! This review is for the happy hour--limited to an actual hour everyday, half price apps and drinks can't be beat, especially when there's an expansive cocktail list with varying prices. I ordered the espresso martini with no baileys and they even put gingerbread sprinkles on top! I also got a winni water which was refreshing and will be great in the summer. The portions are pretty big too. The apps I sampled were fries, nachos, and shrimp. The fries are such a steal and a huge portion and taste almost like McDonalds. Super salty but hits the spot if you're craving. The shrimp and chips are pretty good too! The service is super friendly and I can see this quickly becoming a locals spot. I love the meta drinks names like Dick Loves Peg! I'm looking forward to coming back in the summer and docking! read more

well it is sort of on the water, on a marina at least so you see lots of boats, service was pleasant and the place got busy for lunch pretty quickly, caramel martini was different for me but very tasty, burgers, both the dox burger and the downsize, were both excellent, not a real big place, but then everyone seemed to be sitting in the bar area as it was a drizzly day.....very good!! read more

Had a great dinner tonight at this awesome new restaurant!! My boyfriend and I are here on vacation and will definitely get back once or twice more while we're here. We sat at the bar and the service was great! Friendly bar staff and great drinks. We loved the Sand Bar drink (served in a fishbowl) and the frozen mudslides we had for "dessert". For dinner we split the ahi tuna app which was delicious and fresh and one of the best Cobb salads I've ever had. Portion size was great and it was a delicious meld of mixed greens, grilled chicken, bacon, avocado, grape tomatoes of different colors and feta cheese. We're looking forward to kayaking here for lunch with the dog on their outside patio on the water. read more

Very disappointed. Limited menu and overpriced for what you get. Ordered the pulled pork tacos with slaw and green apple slices for $15. Received 3 small 6" flour tortillas that had maybe a tablespoon of pulled pork, a teaspoon of slaw and a 1&1/2" transparent slice of green apple on each taco. There was nothing else served with this. Other members of my party had a bit more substantial meals, however the price was higher than expected for what they got. Drinks were also on the high side and left us wondering if there was actually any alcohol in them. Not a place I'd recommend. read more

Come for the drinks. Leave and go somewhere else for dinner. Great bar and outdoor space. Solid drinks. The food is meh at best. We have been here 3 times and this has been a pretty consistent trend. Last night was the final attempt at dining here. Some low lights: Beet salad came with what were clearly canned beets. Street corn was canned corn kernels with some spices and no cheese. Shrimp is rubbery at best. I am no foodie but this menu has continued to let me down. So uninspired and blah. Do yourself a favor. Come here for drinks with friends then go somewhere else to eat. read more

When a restaurant isn't busy, it should not take 10 minutes for waitstaff to come to a table. But it did. Serving room temperature water is just weird. Especially on a hot day. Food came out quickly, but was a mixed bag. We had two salads: Dox Cobb Salad and Tuna Bowl The cobb salad was quite good, but not your normal cobb salad. Read the menu. The tuna bowl was disappointing. Cold broccoli? That was just weird. It felt like bowls are popular now so it was added to the menu to capitalize but was not thought out well. Service was not great at all. It just felt like our server had no interest in being there whatsoever. There is an art to waiting tables and our server forgot the paint and the brush. There are digital games to play on a phone while waiting for food. That was fun. If it were me, I would try a somewhere else. There is lots of competition out there and on our visit this restaurant was a miss. read more

If I could give zero stars I would because we were never even seated. We were told over then phone that they took our name down and we were placed in the queue for seating. They said about a 45 minute wait. When we showed up they said that our name was not in their system and that it would be another 45 minutes and that we were the first group in the queue. After an hour without being informed that a table was ready, and watching 3 groups being sat over us we left. All in all it was almost a 2 hour wait. read more

This quickly became one of our favorite spots. Great food, good drinks and an outstanding staff.

Big fans of Dox on Winnisquam! Always super friendly service. We love the dog friendly patio (and the free boat docking entertainment...) The cheeseburger nachos are the best, but we're also huge fans of the ahi tuna bowl, fried feta salad, and the smash burgers. Always some good local breweries on tap, and great cocktails! read more

We live local and decided to go to Dox and try it out for the first time on 4/5/2024. We arrived at 5:50 pm and were promptly greeted by the host and seated at a high top table near the bar. The place seems to have a pleasant atmosphere. 30 minutes later we were still sitting at the table and no drink order was taken even though several waitstaff passed by our table several times. We weren't even acknowledged after we got seated. We weren't in a corner to be easily forgotten. We got up and left at 6:20 pm. The restaurant was not full on either side so to not even get a drink order within 30 minutes was unacceptable. We hope others will get better service here Our first experience was not a welcome one! read more

The first picture that comes up when I search Dox is the fried feta salad. That must have been a special because it was not on the menu. That was disappointing because I am a sucker for fried feta. We were unlucky with our server. While all the other servers greeted their tables right away, it took 8 minutes for our server to realize we were there. It really wasn't busy the Tuesday evening we went. I ordered the ahi tuna rice bowl. This is a DO NOT. Had we not been committed to something later, I would have returned it and gotten a completely different meal. The entire bowl is served cold, including the rice and the cooked/drowned broccoli. The sauce had no flavoring and should have had a kick. It really was not good. My husband the cobb salad and enjoyed it very much. The server checked in on us, as she should, but she really could have cared less. I'm not sure I'd give this place a second try if I lived around here. read more

Service and ambiance very good. Nice renovation, our server was on the mark! Food was so-so....the shrimp "cocktail" was 8 shrimp laying on a plate with a bunch of lettuce nearby. The shrimp were decent size, but limp and watery like you can buy in a ring in any grocery store. Really awful...shrimp should be firm and meaty....these were pre cooked and defrosted. I buy frozen uncooked and put in boiling water for 4-5 mins. The tuna bowl very good. Note: Should have a choice on lobster roll between hot buttered or New England style cold and just a little mayo in a roll. Most in this area prefer cold and include tail meat! read more

Food was great, drinks were ok...MaiTai was just down right nasty. Service was super slow, but they just had their soft opening. They did a really good job with the atmosphere, the Hawaiian guy playing live music was loud and just plain not good. We'll keep supporting them, they're trying to open in a trying atmosphere. All in all it was a great meal just needs to be polished. read more

Went for my boyfriends birthday, five people. No one was impressed with their meals. I had the butternut squash ravioli. It was a JOKE. On the menu it said, "brown butter sauce," but I tasted no butter, it was more like, "soaked in canola oil" sauce. Gross. And the squash was not freshly prepared, no flavor, boiled, swimming in an oily slop of spinach. Some Kraft Parmesan on the side, no bread. Now the ambiance: scrunched into a round booth with two chairs sticking out into the main walkway right next to the front door, with bright lights from the kitchen glaring in my eyes. This was our reservation table. Will not be back! read more

Have been to Dox twice-both times a great experience. Cool vibe without being overly loud. The chicken wings (we had the rub) were much better than many pub/bar wings. Drinks are solid and appropriately strong. The bartender, Danielle, is a pro! and so friendly, as were all of the staff, including the hostess greeters. Will go back for sure! read more

The service was good, but I feel like the money that I spent there was definitely by far not worth it when you read about the short ribs on the menu, they sound great but then when you bite into them, it's very much missing the world voucher not to mention you have to get your vegetables separate Out of all the years I've been going to restaurants it's the first time I've ever had to buy my vegetable separate from my main meal the nachos were definitely good, but was very much missing or lacking more of the sauce and toppings. There's tremendous more chips then there are for the toppings that are on it. The ambience was pretty decent but it's quite clear where they sent you is depending on how also they treat you, if it looks like you're high class, you can see they're in a different section than middle class. I can say I'm honestly all set with going back here. read more

We live locally and went Monday, 9/11. He ordered the "tendies" app for his lunch. The greens that it was served on should have been thrown out the week before. Most had slimy, blackish, areas. I ordered the spicy shrimp "po boy" that definitely was very bland It came on a large hot dog roll and fell apart when I tried to pick it up. The shrimp were so overdone that I had to remove and then cut up the shrimp as it was impossible to bite through it as a sandwich. The cole slaw must have been a week old. It was watery and the red cabbage had colored most of it a pink color....so icky looking so I didn't dare to even try it. The waitress was very nice, but we won't go back and spend $40, plus a $10 tip, for a lunch that should never have left the kitchen (no adult beverages or extras were ordered). read more
