A very good stop on the lake. Right off of 4MM and a good amount of boat parking. Dock Knockers offers a variety of seafood and it's all really good. I've tried several things on the menu and have never been disappointed. The crab cake sandwich is my favorite! The salmon sandwich I got this last trip was good but needed a little bit more sauce to make it perfect. They also have a few frozen drinks that are the average price on the lake. They are an order at the counter restaurant so you need to go to the bar for drinks and the counter inside for food. They call your name over the intercom when it's ready! Overall it's a restaurant I frequent in the summer. The only bad thing is that sometimes there is a slight odor outside the restaurant, from the trash I'm sure.

Don't know about anything. We went Wednesday night, and it was closed, although Google said it was open. Maybe next time. The pictures shown looked like a cool place.

Unbelievable…ordered 3 cheeseburgers took over 2 hours don’t know that I’d ever go back. Might be a good place to hang and drink but don’t order food when they are busy.

This is a 'bucket' of shrimp. Gross frozen popcorn shrimp. Beach bread was hard cheese. Dad liked his shrimp tacos, that's about

We really enjoy Docknockers. There menu is NOT the typical burgers and pizza you get at all the other lake restaurants. The blackened grouper tacos are delicious and probably my favorite! The staff are fun and attentive and the owner will sit and have a conversation with you when he's there. Beautiful view of the main channel and plenty of boat parking. Dog friendly, people friendly too! They'll be closing in Oct. So get there fast!
I really wanted to love this place, however, we never got our food. We ordered 4 entrees and at least 3 apps. The line was shut down while we waited due to the kitchen backing up (granted, this was a holiday weekend). It took 45-60 minutes standing in line before we could order. After waiting another hour for our food, we canceled our orders and left. The guys in the kitchen were very young and unprofessional; they argued, joked, and messed around the entire time. They didn't communicate well with the young ladies who were taking orders to the point that their combative demeanor made it tense to watch their interactions. You could tell the order takers were at the mercy of the kitchen and they were just taking their sweet *** time.I'd love to return in the future, but it won't be during a busy time. My husband brought me a mixed drink from the bar while I waited and it was good!

This was our first time here. We loved the food. They recommend you give a funny name for when they announce your food is ready, we thought this was hilarious. The bartender was very friendly and quick with drinks. We will definitely be back.
Don’t waste your gas to go here or your money. Poor overpriced food. Poor service. The guy who took our order at the counter was very rude. Yelled at my Father-n- law because he had ordered clam strips $13 (which were burnt!) and went he back for cocktail sauce. Order cook told him NO! Can’t do it, you didn’t order with your meal. I had ordered BBQ salmon sandwich with homemade chips. $16. Burnt piece of broken up Salmon on too big of bun with a splash of BBQ sauce and chips tasted like they were made days ago.

i don't feel a warm welcome from most establishments but when i do, i drop a heater of a review. Bryan, recommended the right things for us. from crab legs to drinks, etc. excellent ambience and crowd.

I would recommend this establishment to anyone that enjoys a good time and even better dinner. As we browsed the menu the bartender bryan recommended us to try the crab legs. They were fantastic, tasted fresh and well seasoned! He also recommended to try some tequila that we weren't familiar but the crab legs were so tasty we knew we were in good hands. Definitely try out Dos primos tequila! Thank you bryan and staff for an amazing and fun experience at your establishment, we will definitely be back to try different items on the menu.
