I used to eat at Dockside Dave’s before they moved from the dock. At that time it was very good with great local atmosphere. Since they moved right next to the busy beach road, it sucks. The food is not good the service is sub par and there is no atmosphere. Go to Waltz Fish Shack instead!!! more

We were really looking forward to dining at Daves....only to be disappointed. First if your going to be called "Dockside" I expect a view of something other then traffic. The inside of the restaurant is very small and does smell fairly bad so we opted to sit outside not realizing in doing so that we would we less than 15... more

Monday June, 22,2009 Atmosphere would have been fine except for the terrible sewer odor. They offer curbside, porch and inside dining. We chose inside due to the 98 degree heat at 6:30 pm. The Host was the grumpiest person I have encountered in a while. He never said welcome, how are you, or even a smile. You have to write... more

On a recent weekend getaway to St. Pete, a tip from a local about the famed grouper sandwich led us to Dockside Daves. Always heed (or at least verify your planned restaurants) with the opinon of local. What a boon! I simply could not get over how perfection was incarnated in the form of an oversized blackened grouper filet laying... more

Another trip to Florida, 3 more meals at Dockside Dave's. I gotta love this: My mom and I have been going to Dockside's for about ten years now during our vacations to Florida. I love how we can walk in, and instantly be recognized by Carol and other staff members. They don't even need to ask our drink orders, they... more

We stayed in Indian Shores for a week, and took time to eat at Dockside three times. For the money, you won't do better! The fried scallops were so tender, they melted in your mouth, and the grouper was outstanding. It is traffic noisy on the front, so try to sit on the side porch if you want to dine... more

Great seafood and reasonably priced. Best sangria EVER! This is the only sangria my husband will drink, and he LOVES it! It's kinda small, but the staff is super friendly. We always eat here when we stay at this beach. Love it!! more

Dockside Dave's is the perfect restaurant to enjoy the laid back atmosphere of the Gulf Coast of Florida. Fresher Grouper you won't find anywhere and the onion rings are to die for. This is a locally owned and run facility and you will find many locals eating there or coming in for a beer or two. Don't be in a... more
