This restaurant provides a delightful and peaceful atmosphere for lunch, featuring beautiful views and delicious food at a reasonable price. It's a counter-service venue with a sheltered outdoor area... View all feedback.

What Jill B dislikes about Dockside Cafe:
The views here are absolutely breathtaking. It tends to get quite busy on weekends. We tried the walleye tacos and nachos, and both were decent. The drink prices are also quite fair. View all feedback.

Catches the essence of the traditional ?dockside? cafe. Cool and casual dining experience with a beautiful view and live music! Got the World Famous Walleye Fish Tacos, must try!

Dockside came highly recommended, but was very disappointing...$16 for two perch tacos with a single piece of fish the size of a ketchup packet... each taco definitely contained less than 1 oz of fish. Ridiculous. See photo.

This restaurant didn't exist when I lived here in the mid-80s, and it's incredible to see how much downtown has changed, seemingly for the better—especially on a July weekday! The food was good but a little expensive, and there's no table service; you have to stand in line to place your order. I waited about 15 minutes to order, which felt a bit slow, but overall, it was a solid experience for what it offered. The view was fantastic, and they had a tent to keep us shaded from the sun. I really enjoyed reconnecting with some old friends.

Our entire family loves Dockside whenever the weather is nice—even our dog comes along sometimes! The kids have a blast playing on the hill while I unwind by the water at one of the numerous tables that are always available. It’s truly one of the best hidden gems in town. The food is consistently delicious, and the drinks are wonderfully refreshing.
