I attended an event at the Hard Dock. We had great service and the Bushwhacher was good. Usually only get them when we are at the beach.

A bar with food. Not a lot of selections, but the sampler basket I got was good. Loved the Crab balls!Parking: Plenty of parking when we were there (early evening, a bit after 6:00 PM on Wednesday).The view there at night is great...beautiful river view.

We were staying at a hotel nearby and decided to try this spot. It looked like such a unique and fun location. It was not crowded at all when we arrived and we got a spot out by the water at sunset. It was so beautiful out there. The atmosphere and scenery is unbeatable. The food was good as well. We tried the angry burger, crab bites, corn nuggets, and mozzarella sticks. The corn nuggets were my favorite. If I am ever in this area again I will come back here for sure.

Went to the hard dock after work 1 night and it was great! Could not ask of a better view being right there on the water. The food is good just not a lot to choose from. Our waitress was really nice and helpful and the drinks were good. Would definitely come back!

Nice location. Ok food, definitely nothing special and a little over priced. Good priced drinks.

When it’s open and has food on the menus it’s good. Inconsistent times and it’s on a river full of boats wanting to eat and enjoy a beverage. Great location run poorly.

We were served fast and accurate. Price was a little high, but the food taste and atmosphere maded up for it. Also, they serve bush wacker drinks here, which is a bonus for anyone who likes them. Would defo suggest taking anyone here for a good time.

This place is more or less a dive bar on the waterfront. I had the fried shrimp plate and can say it was just avg. The fries were ok and the shrimp was nice size but over cooked. As for me, don't think I would be going back.

Best place to be! Weekends are a lot of fun!

This place only gets 1-star for me because the dock is nice. However, I was not served and actively ignored, no matter how long I stood at the bar. I hate to throw around the “race card” but as a visibly Black guy, I wasn’t able to spend any money here. My fairly complexioned cousin and this cool white guy had to get drinks for me. It was as if he knew what was going on and helped me out. And as for my cousin, she was only able to get drinks because the bartender wanted to had a crush on her lol. Pathetic.

It's kind of a dive....but the Angry Burger was really delicious. I'd definitely go back for that

An old traditional place. Live Guitar songs. The river. The sun set . The moon. That's all you need.

This place is an old school on the water restaurant/bar and marina with its own maintenance shop and more.Some people may come in and not think much of this place because it's very small and hidden if you don't know where to go, but It's a place people have been coming to for ages and as a north Alabama native this is one of the places I stop and have a drink at from time to time when possible.The service is great but be prepared to wait a few minutes due to how busy it gets sometimes but there are times even when busy that I've never had an empty drink due to how great the bartenders were.as for the food service they are short staffed last time I went and I had to wait over an hour and half for some wings but they told me beforehand that it was going to be a while because of so many orders ahead of me and only having 1-2 people to run the kitchen (I honestly forgot I ordered them) but they were some of the best wings I'd ever had haha and they did warn me prior so no hard feelings there and it worked out perfectly to be honest.I wished they served like raw oysters, crawfish, and stuff like that which they may sometimes but I haven't seen them do so the times I've went.I will be back for sure with family and friends this is a great spot for a summer night to just unwind and check out the nightlife on the river.
