Description

**Donnelly's Dockside: A Hidden Gem with Waterfront Charm**

Nestled by the water, Donnelly's Dockside offers a unique dining experience, though opinions vary. Guests rave about the picturesque views and friendly service, while some struggle with inconsistent food quality. Although dishes like the lobster roll and gumbo receive high praise, others, such as the Cuban sandwich and overcooked appetizers, left diners disappointed. While the atmosphere is inviting, service can be hit or miss, particularly during busy evenings. Despite some shortcomings, the casual vibe and potential for delightful seafood make this spot worth a visit, especially for those willing to navigate its quirks.

Wow we went all out here. It was fantastic. Crabs were perfect with a ton of seasoning. SO MANY CRABS! If you are visiting (like we were) and you like crab give this place a try!

What a wonderful treasure! A great way to spend time eating right on the water and enjoying the atmosphere, the views, and the breeze and the coolness of the night after being out on the boat for a stretch! The staff was friendly and accommodating and thefood was downright delicious! Thanks guys for making this experience a treasured one! ??????????

Stopped by via boat on an early Wednesday afternoon. Oyster Wednesday was on and we got a dozen for $12. Not a great price but they were tasty. I had the Tuna Poke’Bowel which was very good. The Coconut Shrimp was also good. Nice view and good servicee.

We had a delicious lunch sitting by the water. The views were great. Our server, John, was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed fish tacos as well as a blackened grouper bowl. The food was well seasoned, fresh and flavorful. We will definitely be back foranother great meal with outstanding service in a lovely setting.

We went for lunch. The crab dip, shrimp and steamed crabs were very good. We were seated off the deck at a picnic table and had a nice view of the water. Our server was Julia . She was also responsible for the tables that were actually on the end of thedock. We were already impressed with her quick service and how even on a busy afternoon she was still smiling. We were waitingon our food and gust of wind picked up one of the tables on the dock and blew it in the water along with a women's purse. Wewatched as Julia took off her shoes and went in the water swimming after the purse and table and umbrella. What an incredibleyoung woman. She then went inside and put on a dry shirt and continued to wait tables. Five stars to Julia!! Needless to say theservice here is amazing! We did have a few other staff members check on us and bring some of the food out and they were alsovery friendly and attentive. Thank you Donnelly's staff for a very nice afternoon.
