Dockside Cafe is a small lake-side cafe that serves burgers, sandwiches, and tacos. They only have…read moreoutdoor seating, so make sure to bring a jacket if it's windy outside. The staff are friendly and it seems family-run. There's a parking lot close by, but you do have to walk a little to get to the cafe. The first time we tried to go, they were closed due to weather. The food was okay--not bad, but nothing special. I heard that they host local bands/musicians on weekends.

This was our first trip to the Sandusky area and this place rated highly on here…read more We didn't realize until we arrived that this is essentially a glorified concession stand in a marina and not a "restaurant." Think snack bar at the roller rink or high school football game. Granted the menu is far from a snack bar and I do give them credit for aiming high with some pretty aspirational dishes. While other reviews suggest table service, that was not our experience. You ordered at the counter, given a pager, and fetched your food when the devices beeped incessantly. You buss your own table too. My wife ordered the lobster roll, which was rather competitively priced. Unfortunately, it was primarily filled with lettuce and tomatoes, with an OK amount lobster meat. She didn't care for the celery and green onion mixed in, not traditional lobster roll ingredients. I had the perch tacos, a first for me. Again, novel idea but lacking on execution. A few thin fish strips in each taco were more breading than fish. My wife couldn't have more than one sip of her cocktail and my IPA was warm. Anything waterside will have a natural appeal but the furniture and seating area is nothing more than a sidewalk. $61 for a serve yourself concession stand experience is more fitting for a stadium or sports arena.

Servers/bartenders very friendly. Started off the chili and after it arrived I realized there was a chalkboard w daily specials and they had a shrimp bisque I definitely would've gotten but the chili was great. Main course was Rudy burger w onion rings and it was fantastic. Whatever homemade hot dance sauce they serve w the onion rings they need to bottle it. I'd buy 10 bottles . Overall a great place with fantastic food and friendly staff.

Which, understandable, but When they came we said "that's not ours?" And as my boyfriend followed back to the bar to make sure our order was correct we hear the bartender saying "well that's what they ordered so that's what they get!" We could hear you.... And you're rude. There was a miscommunication and you didn't have to be a jerk about it. So we ended up with cold mozzarella sticks... Also the area is LOUD, so it could be very easy to miscommunicate. I'm a manager at a restaurant and the way this was handled could have been much different. Guess jokes on us, we didn't even get what we "did" order.. which was our pizza toppings. Would have went back up but after the first interaction with your bartender it wasn't exactly comfortable. (Middle aged blonde lady) & (i think?) There was a Jesus related band playing too, which was a weird vibe for a bowling alley or bar Edit: thank you to the owner for reaching out! If we're ever back in the area, we'll be sure to let you know.

Our server was very kind and attentive, particularly considering it was a hectic day on a holiday weekend (the 4th of July). I had the Chicken Caesar wrap with fries. I know it's a basic, but they did something that only one other place I've been to has ever done. They added rice inside the wrap. The only other place I've ever known to do this is Crazy Bowls & Wraps in St. Louis. This is an AWESOME idea. It really brings all the flavors of the wrap together. What I don't get is that I really wanted a buffalo chicken wrap, but it wasn't on the menu. They did have a Buffalo Chicken salad on the menu, but they wouldn't make it into a wrap. WTF? That said, the waitress was kind enough to bring me a side of buffalo sauce and I dipped the wrap in the sauce. It turned out amazing!!! Really. By the way, their fries are sincerely some of the best french fries I've ever had. I'd give it a 4 or 5 out of 5 if they weren't so damn hung up on not making a salad already on the menu into a wrap.... I mean, WTF??? What's so hard about that?

They were quick to make our food and we enjoyed it there. They make smashburger style meat for their burgers and it was nicely seasoned. The texture was on the dry side though. The buns and toppings were great. There fries were also very nice, crunchy, and spiced well. This is mostly a carry-out joint, but they have a couple of tables inside to eat at. Overall, nice place for lunch.

But whoever is grilling the burgers at the other location is who is keeping me coming back. Other than that, other location is farther from me, it's worth a drive. What I really like about this place is the fresh meat and the disclaimer about the meats and how it's prepare. Well, I didn't like this time around is at the meat lacked seasoning, and the meat did not have that crispy edge or the juiciness in comparison to the other location. Unfortunately, I will not be back to this location unless I'm really thirsty for a good burger. If this is your first time at this location, then yes it's delicious. It's one of the best burgers in Cleveland. If you visit the other location first you're definitely gonna be disappointed when you go to this one.

We arrived at 7:00 pm there were several seats available and plenty of staff bustling about. We ordered drinks and food at 7:15. We also observed several tables ordering after us. Those tables received their food, ate and were cleared within an hour. 8:10 we are still waiting for food. I asked for the manager. He looked up our food order , still had no estimated time and agreed waiting an hour wasn't acceptable. I said I wanted to pay for our drinks and was leaving. He didn't seem to care, ask us to stay or anything charged us full price for the drinks and that was that. Another customer had also walked in and was constantly vaping and blowing it at my kids. Vaping which is illegal in Ohio bars and restaurants. I had mentioned it to the waitstaff who chose to not do anything. I mentioned it to the customer and he didn't want to stop. I didn't want to get in a fight as he seemed confrontational. So when I was settling my bill, I also mentioned it to the manager. He too seemed to not care. All in all the service was so bad and we never got to try the food. I walked in assuming the Fourth of July would have low staffing or other issues so initially we were super patient, but after seeing that other tables were being attentively served and food was coming out of the kitchen normally, I knew something was wrong and we were having a poor experience. There were no updates from the waitress while we waited either. The only good deed I did was while waiting for my check, another young family came in, thought I was waiting for a table, I told them no, and my story of waiting for food and the vaper. They turned around and immediately left. Hopefully others see this review and patronize other businesses instead. Wolfies should be on the Never go to list. Zero stars.

Super Easy solution: add a couple baseboard heaters & temps will stay constant! Food was another matter. About half was satisfied since about half had an issue. My Patty Melt was laughable. Smallest sandwich I've seen served at an actual restaurant. At 8.69 it was a rip-off.. DQ has a burger fry sundae & drink for $7 & is comparable. The bread is likely sliced in house b/c it is half thickness of a regular slice of bread. It was over grilled like a crouton too. But the real disappointment was the minuscule amount of grilled onions hiding underneath the 1/8th pound burger patties. I also asked for mayo on it & didn't get any!! Shoulda got regular Oh boy which is cheaper, has twice the bread, ton of lettuce compared to my onion, and comes w/ sauce vs. my no mayo. Other complaints: cheeseballs were not as good since they confirmed they switched suppliers. They're actually curds now. Onion rings were overfried & really dark which was fine but they were actually not warm so they musta sat in window too long. A few liked their super OhBoys but at $13, it's an average value. Chicken wrap was a value but needed more sauce / kinda dry. Service: We asked if garden burger had chunks of veggies or a Griller type & she said no veggies but it was indeed that type. A couple other mess ups w/ missed toppings & sides & pop missing syrup rounded out the visit.
