The 12 miles drive on Great River Road from Alton to Grafton is a National Scenic Byway. The terraces and the inside bar hold space for up to 800 people. Fun and crowded on Saturday/Sunday, peaceful with plenty of elbow room Monday to Friday. The river view is unmatched. View all feedback.
What Paige Briana dislikes about The Loading Dock:
We drove FIFTY miles to come here today. All we got was a burger and fries. The burgers were literally cold to the touch. The inside of the burger looked very uncooked. Not even a warm bun or anything at all. The waitress looked extremely over it although it wasn't busy at all and was 12 in the afternoon. I didn't complain about my food because we were there maybe a half hour and left. Extremely disappointing and won... View all feedback.
We didn’t end up eating there because we weren’t aware that we had to go inside to place our order. The service was decent, but the poor server seemed overwhelmed with the amount of people. We did manage to get some drinks and enjoyed listening to the band, though.
It was a nice experience. There was a live band performing on Sunday, which added to the atmosphere. The food selection was rather limited, but it’s a great spot to unwind on a Sunday.
I didn't eat during my visit, so I'm not able to rate the food. However, I came to enjoy the band and have some drinks, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'll definitely return to try the food next time.
We took the bike across on the ferry. Stopped here at The Loading Dock for drinks. Great staff service !!! We will definitely go back for lunch.
Great bar right on the Mississippi River with a small food menu. Shrimp roll was great.
