We just didn't love it. There are better BBQ options around. Service was fine. Nice array of sauces

Great spot to visit while in the area!!…read more We got a table straight away, the bartender was friendly and drinks were cold! We ordered a burger, the chicken sandwich, the firecrackers and some onion rings! Everything was hot when it came out and tasted great! The firecrackers are sort of a jalepeño popper/crab Rangoon situation drizzled with hot honey! The views are nice overlooking the marina and the people were all very welcoming and fun! Kid-friendly and dog-friendly on the patio. No photos because I left my phone in the car, but I'll definitely be back!

Pop N Docs is a river staple, it's very good "bar food" and they often have live music. I mean…read morewhere else can you go in a boat or by car! Ride here on your motorcycle or pull up in your boat! This place is very unique. We saw toddlers to people in their 70's they are welcoming to all. A great small town experience to pull from miles. Certainly Perfected the self serve model reminiscent of a tourist town, no table service which seemed to work just fine. Simply go to the bar for a drink, or inside for a food order. They will bring it to the table and the staff quickly cleans up any empty food order beverage containers. While "running a tab" is not their strength (needed to remind them to bill for missing items), they are a great stop with great people and would say the experience was not missing anything. Would certainly recommend the experience to anyone. Think casual, river side, sun burnt and ready for good food and fun!

Wow! What a premium restaurant and steakhouse in Norfolk Ne. I sat at the bar and was instantly…read moreimpressed with the large bourbon collection that was overflowing onto the bar. The coffee rubbed filet with a bourbon cream sauce and mushrooms was phenomenal. It also had asparagus and garlic risotto. It was worth the price! Service at the bar was exceptional. This was a premium meal and I cannot wait to come back!

So good I had to write a positive review for a change. I…read moretravel all over for work, and I saw their menu on Yelp and thought it might be the nicest place in Norfolk. I walked in and was not disappointed. Clean, tastefully-decorated, professional staff. They sat me down immediately and let me take a peak at the menu, but I knew what I wanted already. The pork ribeye. The chef himself brought it to the table, he was proud of it and he should be! The seasonal vegetable was zucchini, and while most places just boil or steam it and throw it on a plate, here it was perfectly seasoned and cooked, with a nice bite that other establishments never achieve. How refreshing for it to be respected and not turned into a soggy, tragic affair. The pork ribeye was perfectly grilled and served atop a bed of Parmesan risotto. I hail from Italy and know what risotto should be, and honestly I was blown away at how correct it came. Perfect amount of bite, and the chef restrained from throwing in a thousand "flavor enhancers", wisely letting the flavor of aged parmeggiano dictate the profile of the risotto. And on top of that, an unexpected surprise... "cowboy candy" I focused intensely on divining its components: a sugar base and a spicy pepper... could it be agave, turbinado? The waiter informed me of its name and ingredients when I asked, so now I get to make it at home. Italians would never pair such a garnish with their risotto dish, but I don't care, it went perfectly with the pork ribeye. I did not expect to have such a fulfilling culinary experience out here in a small midwestern town. The United States' haute culinary scene really has exploded over the last decade, and I couldn't be happier about it. Next comes the drinks and dessert: A balanced pear cocktail, of which I had two, and a chocolate caramel bread pudding. That bread pudding put most cakes to shame. Soft enough to eat with a spoon but with an ever so slight chew due to its former life as bread. Sweet but not cloying, allowing the cacao to really announce itself. Easily enough for two to share but I indulged myself, I couldn't bear to waste any of it. The waiter himself, a young man with a warm and bold character, came by many times to be assured I wanted for nothing. I left completely satisfied in a way I have not been for many weeks here in the road across the heartland. When I inevitably return to Norfolk, I know where I'll be having dinner.
