Have been here a few times over the years & never really been impressed with the food as it's a lot of fried options & bar staples that never really impressed me. In this town it's hard to find a decent meal that isn't absolutely horrible for you or that contains some greens in abundance, but during this most recent visit I had their seasonal strawberry salad & it was really damn good. Not only was it a massive portion, but it was generously adorned with nuts, goat cheese, strawberries & grilled chicken. I suggest the poppy seed dressing for it if you get it. It's a salad I would expect to pay between $25-30 for back home & maybe it be half the size. Service was great but thats never the issue here as the employees are friendly locals & this is a well travelled long time hangout in Chili. read more

Reminds me of typical college bar. Nothing spectacular they did have like e music on Saturday night. Nice cover band. Plenty of screens to watch whatever game you may want to see. The food is meh nothing exciting but it will fill you up. Reasonably priced and comes out pretty swiftly read more

We sat at the bar on our visit. It was wing night so it was a little busy but we were served drinks quickly. The food took quite some time to come out and wasnt hot when it arrived. Overall we were disappointed with our visit. read more

Water Street, Chillicothe, Ohio 740-779-3625 S-S - 11am - 11pm So, I had to head east to Ohio's First Capital today--because apparently, Apple thinks iPhones should cost about the same as a used Honda Civic. After leaving AT&T (and my financial dignity), I was starving. Enter: The Dock at Water (80 E. Water Street, Chillicothe). First impression: those massive old doors at the entrance . Felt like I was about to walk into a saloon where Wyatt Earp might challenge me to a duel. I could tell this building has history. #BigFan. Inside, though--boom--modern décor. Time travel complete. Now, seating... or should I say, choose your own adventure. No sign, no host stand, just me standing there like a confused extra in a sitcom until someone finally noticed. Nice bar setup though--high tops (meh), low tops (better), and outdoor seating. TVs everywhere, which was great until I realized I wore my Bengals jersey on a Sunday when they weren't even playing. #WhoDoesThat #WhoDey #Whoops All the TVs had the same game on, HOWEVER, they were not in sync. Watch TV - A and you could double as a fortune teller for TV - B. #ICanSeeTheFuture #BetMe. Crowd level: light. The Browns game is on TV. Watching them lose was the appetizer before the appetizer. #WhoDey - 3 or 4 Super Brownie Fans that would let out a cheer when the Brownies managed a first down. (didn't happen much). Speaking of appetizers: Buffalo Chicken Dip. If you follow me, you know I'm basically a Buffalo Dip connoisseur. This one? Let's say it was... fine. Served with pita bread. PITA. BREAD. Who does this? Chips are the law of the land. #BringBackTheChips #NotaFan Main course: Me: Philly Cheesesteak + fries + Michelob Ultra draft. Mrs.: 5 boneless Buffalo chicken wings......that was it. #Skinny #CheapDate Fries: crispy, golden perfection. The MVP of the meal. Peppers & onions: cooked just right. Respect. Cheese: melty goodness. Meat: SALT CITY. I swear I felt my blood pressure spike mid-bite. #holyhypertension Price check: $59.09 for two. Maybe not outrageous, but I'm old and cheap, so yes, outrageous. #HadToOrderBeer Final verdict: ‍‍ of 5 bald heads. High Salt Level and price. Dock at Water is like that friend you don't mind hanging out with... but only if your other friends are busy. Would I go back? Yeah, I will eat here again, maybe. #BaldWhiteGuyReviews #SaltySteakChronicles #BuffaloDipFail #WhoDeyAnyway #BringBackTheChips #2BaldHeads read more

First time at this place and 4 of us decided to give it a try. Waitress was nice and friendly. My problem is the food I ordered was in my opinion was way below quality. I had the 12 "mini tacos" which were over cooked and tasted terrible. I suggest avoiding them . I also ordered 5 dry rub chicken wings. They came out and they were plain with a small plastic cup of "rub". Waitress asked if I wanted them tossed in the rub and I said sure. They came back and it looked like they just dumped the rum on top of the wings. I complained about the quality of the food... they did say sorry LOL. Oh I gave them one star because they had draft beer.... read more

I had the Tenderloin sandwich. It was really good. Service was really slow for a Sunday afternoon

Family friendly sports bar with a nice big outdoor patio. Famous for the wings but the soft pretzel and shrimp bowls are awesome, too. read more

Went in to watch the OSU Big 10 tournament game and was told it was. After placing our orderi we were told it's on Peacock and we don't have that. Come on your a sports bar! read more

The server was rude and weird. My food was good but some didn't come out correct chicken was cold and the waiter said she was going to strangle us when she brought her check and it was wrong she added stuff on our check we didn't get and when we asked for it to get taken off she got mad at us. read more

Absolutely abysmal service! Went here after a long day of mound looking. What we expected was a nice place to eat pizza. And we expected that they had it, considering it was a third of their menu. But they ended up running out of pizza! Thankfully we were able to get other things. The food was fine, the chicken "chunks" (nuggets) were good, and the fries were amazing. But the "blackened" chicken quesadilla wasn't great, but the burger was. The main complaint about the service is that my mom got fries with her burger, but she didn't receive the fries until we were about to leave. And also the waiter wasn't particularly polite either, it seemed because we weren't from the area, we weren't coming back, therefore she didn't have to care. We rightfully took the price of the fries off her tip. At least the place had a cool ambiance. read more

We decided to give The Dock another chance after a disappointing visit before. Big mistake!! The atmosphere was chaotic. The noise level made it impossible to have a conversation. It took over an hour to get our food which was then delivered cold. Our waitress seemed oblivious to our wait and when we told her our food was cold she simply shrugged her shoulders and walked away. If they are busy they need to staff accordingly. We will not be back. read more

This place was recommended by a friend. I'll never listen to her recommendations again. We wanted to go next door but there wasn't a patio and we had our puppy w/us, so I give this place 2 stars for being dog-friendly. I walked in and the floor was filthy. The patio was a hot mess, too- that should've been the first red flag. We ordered two flavors of wings, both "hot", supposedly deep fried and grilled. The wings were not close to spicy (I realize this is subjective) and they were really underdone; not raw, but not prepared well at all. My boyfriend and I were both disappointed in our mediocre lunch experience. We don't get out a lot b/c we're both so busy. Businesses like this make us want to shy away from eating out or trying something new. It made me sick to pay this bill and give the 20%+ tip b/c it felt like we were setting money on fire. I told our server the wings were underdone and not great and she asked if we wanted to talk to a manager. No, we don't. And if you need to ask that, you don't really care about your customers or their experience. And if you're a restaurant that doesn't train your staff to give great customer service, then I just want to leave and never come back. To top off our less than pleasant experience, there was a woman who was drinking and came outside to our table to tell us she had to come outside b/c there was a woman inside who owes her money and she would go to jail if she stayed inside b/c she'd beat her up. Great. She looked like she hadn't showered in at least a week. She walked around to all the tables then started bugging a pregnant woman at another table. Awful dining experience. I would never go back. read more

This is one of Chillicothe's popular bars. It has a good location across from the park. This is definitely a bar with a sports theme. It also has lots and lots of greasy food. The staff is made up of typical Chillicothe townies. It is popular with locals. If you aren't one you aren't ignored but you definitely will have to wait awhile. This is typical of many of the bars around here. It's just to be expected. The staff is pretty friendly otherwise. I had a vodka and tonic. It's about $3 for a glass. The food menu is mostly fried stuff. I had the basket of pretzels. This is about $7 for several large pretzel sticks. It comes with a choice of cheese or mustard. The mustard is very good and spicy. The bar is unexpectedly clean. Restrooms were kind of smelly but they were clean too. This is a good place for sports. read more

Heartbroken. We have been going to Docks for almost 8 years. We order the same items every time we go, two steak salads, an order of potato skins, and two Dr. Peppers. Tonight we went for the first time this year and to our surprise our meal was $60 (without tip), $71 after tip! I don't mind paying the price for good food but the steaks were half the size they've been in the past. So, we paid more and received less food. read more

Years of visits to this place. At most times I'm without speech when I leave. Usually because I'm in awe at how bad the service is. It STINKS. And a few times I've gotten none and left after about 15mins of no server at all. Another one I've written off in the land of Chillicothe. read more

Restaurant is under new management and it shows! Service is amazing, food is even better! Highly recommend stopping by and trying the updated menu. Entire restaurant is clean and workers are pleasant and helpful. I ordered the wings and water street whale. Both were phenomenal. read more

I downloaded this app just to leave this review. First off the online menu is a lie. False advertising. Not even that busy, service just that shitty. Our servier was great. But clearly it's the ownership and managers that have run this place to the dirt. Godbless this mess because those cooks can't even operate the microwave they use to cook the DOLLAR GENERAL FROZEN FOOD they sell. I'm not kidding they serve the same frozen food I buy. Should have ate at speedway. Close your doors. I get it's a small town restaurant but seriously my quadruple amputee cousin Cletus could run a better restaurant with his only two teeth. read more

Stay away. The entire experience stunk. It was terrible from start to finish. Yes, the food was fine. Everything else was an uncomfortable, cringeworthy nightmare that we had to pay a lot for in more ways than one. Trapped there for an hour and a half for what should have been a 40-minute experience, tops. I loathe indifferent, irresponsible places like this. 12:30ish on a Sunday afternoon. Walk in, there's only a handful of other customers. We wait 15 minutes with no acknowledgement by any staff whatsoever. After we've already been sitting for fifteen minutes with nobody acknowledging us, two guys walk in and sit at a nearby table and I make a bet with myself that these two guys will not only be acknowledged first, but they will have their orders taken first, and get their food first, which is exactly what happens. About 25 minutes in, our orders are finally taken. When our appetizers come, the waitress tells us they "are out of plates" (remember, they've only been open for an hour and there are still only a handful of customers. What happened to all of their plates?) and tries to offer us lousy, cheap little party styrofoam plates, which I refuse. Suddenly she's able to come up with some real plates - nobody on staff wanted to wash plates that day, it seems. read more

We will not be repeat customers! My fiance and I got the mushroom and Swiss burger, the burger was way overcooked and the mushrooms were terribly undercooked. Our bill was $50.00 after tip and honestly the only good thing we can say about the food was that it was warm when it came to the table and the fries were good. read more

Have gone to the dock always for wings but tried their breaded tenderloin sandwich and it was absolutely great!

Ate at the Dock tonight, service was excellent, food was great, served very quickly. Keep it up!!!

fantastic wings! May I suggest you ask them to deep fry them and throw them on the grill to finish up. You won't be sorry.

SO disappointing! Been going here for years for fun, food and drinks, BUT went about a month ago and (formerly great) wings that are a well-known staple here were overcooked, dry and inedible. Went back last night and draft beer (2 different brands) was flat...no wonder! Watched the barmaid wash the glasses, then set the warm glasses under the tap and open it up while she did other things. Ordered dinner: Black and Bleu salad (a favorite for years) but the now-1/4" thick "steak" (absolutely not exaggerating) ordered medium rare was much like jerky...dry and not a sign of pink...and set on a plate of bagged iceberg lettuce. The side salad with my sandwich was the same. Lesson learned: stick to bottled beer and give time for the new owner to get a handle on her kitchen before eating here again : / read more

If I could get 0/5 I would. Unfortunately our waiter was great, very attentive and on top of it. However the "manager" was in no way shape or form capable of being in charge of anything. Our group of 10+ came in on a Sunday to have some drinks and appetizers and were told by the "manger" we were "too loud". She handled the entire situation in such an immature and unprofessional way it was absolutely insane to our entire group. I have eaten at bars and restaurants across the United States and the world and have never been treated as such. If I were the owner of the establishment I would be appalled by the "managers" behavior. Said manager would not give myself or other members of the group her name which speaks to her lack of professionalism and credentials. This was by far the WORST experience I have had at a bar/restaurant and for what it it is worth our group will not be back. read more

Service takes forever and food comes out looking nuked. Never enough toppings or sauces with meals. Prices keep climbing and food gets worse. Though they can make a decent bloody mary! read more

My daughter, her husband and I met here for lunch. We really didn't know what to expect, but the reviews and online menu persuaded us to try it. The service was perfect. The food was very good. My daughter ordered the prime rib sandwich. It had a nice 1/2 inch thick slice of well seasoned and tender prime rib on sour dough bread. Brian had a bowl of chili which he said was very good. I ordered a burger, which was also good. We shared a large order of grilled hot wings. We all agreed we would meet here again sometime and would recommend it to others. read more

I must admit, I never ate the food because I didn't feel welcomed. As soon as I walked thru the door, folks were staring and the servers all walked by as if I wasn't standing there. I ask to see a menu and they hesitated to give me one. I decided they would prefer not to have an African American couple seated, so we left. Not sure what the food taste like so I want comment. just not felt to feel welcomed. read more

Is it a Bar or restaurant? or neither...... I'm glad I was starving when I went to the Dock. This was my second visit to the Dock and this second try was just as disappointing. The place is a nice sports themed bar? restaurant? sports bar? I dont think they know what they want to be. When you enter it is a little confusing if you seat yourself or not. They have a hostess table to the far left where the wait person stands and stares at you, there was no, "Hello, have you been here before"? Or " you can sit any ware you like". Other that that the service was ok. We were starving so we ordered the "Sensational Nachos", well the description is somewhat misleading a better one would be " cold gas station nachos with some extra stuff thrown in". Just because there is a machine that squirts out hot gooey cheese, usually found in gas stations, does not mean a restaurant should use one. I understand its quicker to do it that way but that's simply lazy. A cop out, for 8 bucks make real nachos. At least walk by the oven when making them so they are not cold. My daughter comment was, we make better ones at home. I ordered the Prime Rib sandwich and my daughter ordered the create your own burger. Mine was well, I would not call it prime rib, more like the steak you buy at the "dollar" store. It came on white bread with a slice of swiss cheese. The swiss cheese was good, it would have been better as a grilled cheese sandwich. The crinkle fries were good My daughters burger was ok, way over cooked but the onion slice was tasty. I think this place needs to decide if they are a bar, a restaurant or what? I think if this places wants to be a restaurant it needs to start taking a little pride in the food they read more

Awesome location. Plenty of room at the bar or if you would rather have a table. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. Extensive beer menu. Place was busy but still clean on a Friday night. At 9pm it must turn into a bar scene bc the music gets turned up and conversations get harder to hold. The food looked pretty good, might have to try some next time I visit. read more

First time here and had a very pleasant experience. Ordered chili and Hawaii style chicken wings. The chili had loads of meat and tomatos and the flavor was yummy. Not very spicy but very delicious. I was very pleased with the wings. Flavor was outstanding and wings had a delicious crunch! Hubby had a side salad which seemed rather large and served cold and fresh! He enjoyed his buffalo chicken sandwich as well. Server was pleasant. read more

I love comin' here the atmosphere is friendly an' inviting. The staff an' patrons are very friendly! I had the grilled Dock-Hot chicken wings. Flavor was great, but a little cold. My Dock-Hot burger was very tasty. Honestly I like my steaks an' burgers on the rare side, but my burger here t'day was a little on the too rare side for my taste. But it ate just fine. The fries were good an' hot an' crisp. The ranch dressing is good too! read more

The Dock is a cool place to go if you are in the Chillicothe area or craving grilled wings. They have great food, a rather large bar area, several televisions you can watch, trivia, and music. The grilled wings are my favorite. I choose spicy garlic, which is the perfect amount of heat. The cheese fries are awesome and you get enough to share with at least four people. The service was great and the price of the food and drinks is reasonable. Great place for the locals to hang out, too. read more

Good prices, have them grill the wings you ordered. It's a real thing and they're awesome!

Appearance-wise, a pretty typical sports bar. Nice but not fancy, not too loud. Service was pretty good; maybe a bit slow but they were semi-full. The food was very good. I had the Dock burger, a double burger, and it was great. Side was sweet potato fries which were very good. Tried some of my cousin's onion straws and they were great. read more

The grilled teriyaki wings are the reason for this review! It's the only item I order for this restaurant when I am in the area. They even offer you the option of getting all drummies for just a little bit more. The prices are very reasonable and the food always comes out right. read more

Grilled Spicy jamaican wings! That is the review..these are the best wings to get. My husband and I will split an order of 20 and I always tap out at 8. They are not small by any means. The staff have always been friendly when we go there to eat..whether it's for lunch or dinner. read more

First time here. Great food, burgers cooked perfectly, made you think of summer and real grilled burgers. Even though the patty melt is not on the menu they were able to make an amazing one. Home cut French fries were good. Good bat atmosphere, plenty of drinks to choose from. Lots of open seating and plenty of TVs to watch. read more

Out waiter was great! Very attentive. The bartender claimed manager was awful. Very disrespectful to our large party. Do not recommend.
