It is closed effective January 2022. This is for the Dania beach location. The other location - unsure.

So sad to see a local old favorite succumb to this Covid crap. I want them to succeed with their events program, but hope they will revisit opening full time again in the future. Maybe collab with 3 Sons Brewing?????

The food is tasty and the service is fantastic. Even though it wasn't crowded when we went, you could tell that everyone working there maintained a sense of pride and professionalism about the place. The bartender was doing double duty, adding server activities to her schedule, and she never missed a beat. And it was great to see the manager come out and visit the table, even though she probably had other things to do. I just wish the windows facing the water opened l.

We had been looking forward to coming to Historic Dockers ever since we moved to this side of town and were finally able to stop in on Monday evening. We came in around 7:00 PM Monday night. When we walked in the restaurant looked lively but not overly crowded. We were able to get a table right away and sat in the dining room. The atmosphere is nice, no loud music, or rowdy drunk customers. The tables are safely spaced apart so you can feel confident in dining during this pandemic. The décor is exactly what you would expect from a place named Dockers and located on the water. It was really dark out but I imagine that the dining room is lit up nicely by the large windows during the day! To drink, we ordered two waters while we looked over the beer selection. They have quite a few options and are all priced very reasonably at $6.50. They also have an assortment of craft cocktails all $10 or less. I ordered a Mangolandia Wheat from Veza Sur and my boyfriend ordered a Celebration IPA from Sierra Nevada, both of which were delicious, fresh, and poured right to the top of the glass! As a started for food we split the large Caesar salad to share because I was really craving a Caesar and it hit the spot! The lettuce was crisp, with toasty croutons and I love that they give you extra dressing on the side. On Mondays they do a $5 burger special that cannot be beat! We had low expectations because usually daily deals at restaurant will cause the quality of the item to be lower or the portion to be small. BOY WERE WE WRONG! These burgers were incredible! Cooked to a perfect medium rare and HUGE! The meal also comes with a heaping pile of hot, crispy fries. You do have to pay a dollar extra for any cheese but at that price, splurge on the cheese! We left the restaurant feeling satisfied, full, and excited to share the experience with friends the next time! I would definitely recommend dining here, especially if you love a good, cheap burger!

This place is really close to the Ft. Lauderdale airport making it convenient for dining during long layovers. It is directly in front of a yacht parking area on the water, so you can admire some luxury water vessels while you eat. The food at this restaurant tasted fabulous. We started with the stuffed mushrooms and the fried calamari, which were really good. They have a nice selection of fish and seafood along with chicken and beef choices. I really enjoyed the Grouper tacos. My friend's coconut shrimp entree looked and tasted great too. They have a full bar for drinks of your choice. The spicy bloody mary is a must-have. Give this place a try.

The atmosphere and food were great! Right on a marina! The lobster bisque was the best we have had!! We shared a Wedge Salad which was delicious with lots of blue cheese crumbles! (The best part!) We shared the Scallops and enjoyed them very much! The only reason we gave a 4 rather than 5 was the wait staff. They did their best and obviously were training some staff (and it was busy)! The “head waiter/ manager” was pleasant and attentive but RUSHED! Made us feel mildly that we should hurry and free up a table. Not overtly but still. I would definitely recommend eating here!

Fabulous dinner! The food, service and ambience was awesome. We had conch fritters, old bay shrimp, chicken wings and country fried chicken and highly recommend all! The service by John M and Fred was excellent. Both were so friendly and right on time. Overall great dining experience. We highly recommend and will return when in the area. P.s. the Reese's pie was yummy!

Great spot!! Very clean and modern feel even if it has been in location since the 40’s. Great happy hour and a wide section of menu options to choose from. Theresa was very nice and welcoming! Seems like a great place to meet locals. I would definitely check out of in the area.

Very nice atmosphere. Great service. Grwt foodMy waitress Kitty left me in AWE..what a gorgeous babe?
Service was good, food was mediocre. I ordered the Grouper Tacos and while the grouper tasted fresh, it was missing some sort of sauce to tie the tacos together (otherwise it was fried grouper, lettuce, pico de Gallo and flour tortillas). My boyfriend ordered the Mahi Islamorada and lets just say it was very underwhelming. None of us knew how to react after a good five minutes of just starting at it due to the awkward presentation on the plate. The fish itself was fine, the problem was the sides. It was an ice cream scoop size of rice and three very small (pinky sized) plantains. We basically paid more more less. For a meal worth $17, they should add extra rice and plantains. Don't think I will return here unless they spruce up their menu.

I'm writing this so the owner understands why, this place does not get new patronage. First fried food should never be soggy. If it is then the bag of said food has been left out of the freezer too long. Or its been microwaved. Either way it shouldnt be served. My first and last time there. Better places to eat for the price. Service was good.

I stopped in there last night (wednesday) because it was close to my hotel. I sat at the bar, wednesday night was "Baja night"...$9 for 3 tacos, $6 Cuervo margaritas and $3 coronas. Bartender and server were both friendly and efficient. I had the conch chowder, 3 tacos a margarita and a corona, all very good. Beer was ice cold. Will return when in Dania Beach

Very small portions served on a huge dinner plate.The taste of the flat-iron steak was good.The scoop of mashed potatoes was near the size of a small ice cream scoop.I ordered a side of plantains for $3 and got 3 pieces..so $1 each piece.The waitress was attentive and friendly.There were maybe 3 other guests in the restaurant during our visit (and 3 people at the bar).This place has potential to be better.Didn't meet my expectations so likely will not revisit.
