Ridgeland is a bit off the beaten path but it is growing. My service was great, food was great and very nice ambience. I'd go back for sure!

Love this place but gets crowded really quick, my go to app is buffalo fried oysters on the 1/2…read moreshell One order is never enough

We visited Dockside based on a recommendation and after reading the reviews. The greeter at the…read morefront who seated us was very friendly and welcoming, and our server did a good job. Was everything a little slow? Yes. But honestly, that's how it is in a beach town. It's laid-back and chill, and we had no issue with that. We sat on the outside patio, servers were yelling out customers orders like they didn't know where they went and occasionally taking food to the wrong table. So even though the atmosphere was very chill (but busy), at times it did feel a little chaotic. When we visit a beach town, seafood is what we're looking for, so we ordered the raw and steamed oysters. Unfortunately, there wasn't really anything good about them. We also ordered the mahi and seafood pasta for our entrees. Let me start by saying that all of the food came out barely lukewarm, except for the baked potato. And when food is supposed to be served hot but comes out lukewarm, it's cold. The mahi was cold, dry, and had very little flavor. The seafood pasta just didn't taste good, and after a few bites, I actually started feeling nauseous trying to eat the seafood in it. The cornbread was good, though. I really wanted to like this place, especially since we chose it based on the recommendations and reviews, but unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience. There are so many great seafood options in a beach town, and I just don't feel like this one lived up to what we were hoping for.

Best seafood around. Been many times and always delicious. Don't pass this one up. Great service…read moreand great food!

Traveling through and needed a bit to eat. Few places in the area and being Sunday, most are closed…read moreor close early. This is a very unassuming place. Simple seating areas. 4 stars. Next, the staff. They were exceptionally nice. Friendly, polite, courteous and helpful. Absolutely 5 stars. The food. We ordered the fried pickle appetizer, a shrimp dinner and the special, a 5oz fried grouper sandwich. The pickles came out fresh, hot, nicely cooked in a perfect coating. Came with ranch dressing. Would totally order them again. 5 stars as they were perfect. The shrimp dinner was also very good. Nice portion of again... perfectly coated, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The side of coleslaw was fine. No rating as it was neutral. The fries, the side we chose, were ok. The usual frozen crinkle cut fries. They were hot and cooked well. But frozen makes them a 3 star. I personally was not a fan of the hush puppies as I'm typically not anyway. My partner said they were delicious. Going by her enjoyment, 3.5 stars. The grouper sandwich special. Presentation was good. Good bun, fresh leaf lettuce and fresh cut tomato. The fish was again, nicely coated. Unfortunately, it came out dry. A little tough to chew. My partner tried it and said the same thing. Fortunately, the great server offered to have a new one made for me. I really didn't want it so she replaced it with their fried shrimp! No headache. No nasty looks or comments. Just a server that wanted to make sure we had a good dining experience. She did. The bill arrived and the food prices were good. Taxes are a bit high but no fault of the place. We were disappointed to see a service charge of 3% for CC fee. Typical nowadays but still never happy to see it. Overall this is a place that I would absolutely recommend and if ever passing through here again, we will stop and eat here. 4.75 stars.

Lowcountry Backyard was one of those places that feels like it's been there forever in the best…read morepossible way. Quirky, unpolished, a little tucked away, and absolutely full of character. It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

Disappointing. The reviews were stellar, the food was not. The derive was good, but that's kind of…read morewhere it ended. Except for the fried green tomatoes- those were very good, dipped in blue cheese dressing (ranch was bad, tasted like plain mayonnaise with a parsley sprinkle) The pimento cheese appetizer was so disappointing! Tasted like cream cheese mixed with packaged shredded cheddar and 3 small pieces of raw red pepper; served with stale corn chips and uninspired pita. Was so looking forward to good homemade pimento cheese in the south! The grouper sandwich was sad, my friend only ate the fish and left the bun and tomatoes on the plate. The mac and cheese was even sadder, described as baked mac and cheese it was more like old leftovers, cold, separated noodles that were really dry. The shrimp blt salad- the aforementioned fried green tomatoes were the best part. The bacon was cold and floppy and kind of unchewable. It was served on wilted arugula. I'm so confused by all the rave reviews! Maybe this was a one off.
