Great place with fantastic views, started going here 30 years ago and will continue to visit when in Wrightsville. The lower rating this time is due to our food just not being very good...hope it was an exception!

Fantastic location on the intercoastal with boats everywhere. We sat on the outdoor dock and had a beautiful view. Staff was great with taking care of us. Place was packed so I didn't expect them to be very quick. Menu was one page so options are slim. But what we got was good. Crab cake was delicious. Great bar and bar tender. Recommend you get a drink and watch the boats. They do have boat slips if you don't come by car.Parking: If they are busy you could have trouble parking

Beautiful day to have a fantastic lunch on the waterway. Service was great and good was tasty. Highly recommend. We go there often. Dock our boat and have lunch, and then back out on the water we go. Thank you Dockside, for a very convenient restaurant/bar on the water.Parking: Parking is across street, sometimes limited and tough to get.

First time here and didn't know where the entrance was but folks here are extremely nice and welcoming! Someone guided me to the entrance. It is around the back, all the way down the dock. Just keep walking and pass the outside bar. Beautiful dock views. Food was awesome!Chloe B was our server and was a phenomenal server! Chloe took care of our needs and want and even did something special for my son's birthday! I appreciate her taking care of us for our dinner last night (3/8/2024). She definitely deserves all the recognition. Excellent server! Keep hiring people like her and the place will continue to be phenomenal!

Service was great, but the food was incredibly average. I got the fried crab cakes which took 40 minutes and came out cold. Had to send them back and they came back slightly warm the second time. They were okay honestly, I thought they were a little dry, and incredibly overpriced for the quality. Got the cold brew White Russian which was delicious, however I think $16 for a cocktail in a rocks glass is incredibly steep.

We came with our dogs and the girls that greeted us were so kind and helpful but unfortunately that’s where the good customer service stopped.Our waitress didn’t greet us until after we had been sat for 20ish minutes. A table that sat down after us had their drinks and orders taken before she even came over to our table for the first time.Our food was very average, I think you would come here for the atmosphere and view but when we were there very noisy construction was taking place right next door.
