Dockside Seafood Restaurant Jax Beach

If you love fried food… and I mean love it the way a pelican loves unattended shrimp, then Dockside may already be penciled into your destiny. Be prepared: at lunch and dinner there are lines at the entrance that suggest either (a) the food is excellent or (b) there’s a secret government program inside. Good news, it’s the food. The line moves faster than expected, which is your first clue that this place knows exactly what it’s doing and has been doing it since before patience was invented. Service is fast, almost suspiciously so. You order, blink, reflect briefly on your life choices, and suddenly fried fish and shrimp appear, fresh, hot, and unapologetically themselves. The fish tastes like it met the ocean recently and parted on good terms. The shrimp are crisp, juicy, and clearly over

In town visiting and heard great reviews about this place. I ordered the fried blue crabs which were stuffed with overly breaded stuffing. Could barely taste the crab. Gator bites were good.

Stopped in with a coworker after delivering gas and was not disappointed. First time eating there and we both got the po boy shrimp sandwich. Idk what sauce they use for it but it was fire. Came with a good amount of food as well for $14. Left full and with a new spot to stop at when on that side of town. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be stopping in again. Food came pretty quick too even while they were pretty busy. That’s always a plus.

BEST OF THE BEST! Dockside Seafood Restaurant in Jax Beach served the best seafood I’ve had anywhere in the U.S. Everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The waterfront setting made the experience even better, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. From the food to the atmosphere, everything was outstanding. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in the area.

Some of the best seafood i've had in a long time. The portions were great for the value. The halibut was very good and the fried shrimp was fantastic as well.I'd prefer them.Give me less french fries and more cold.Slaw however.
