Donnelly's Dockside

Had An early dinner (4:30p) here with the family on Labor Day. We were coming back from the shore and wanted to find a place on the west side of the Bay Bridge. The restaurant is tucked away next to the water a couple miles off of Rt. 50. There was plenty of parking and the indoor seating area has a great view of a large dock area off a River (see pics). Our server, Lisa, was friendly and took care of all our questions and orders (and side orders) quickly and efficiently. We got the Jumbo Shrimp and Hushpuppies starters. Both of these were fantastic. I especially appreciate well made hushpuppies, so I was very happy with the quality of these puppies 🐶 I ordered the fried cod sandwhich with fries for the main. The cod was a very generous portion and was crisp and not overly breaded

Very good selection of well presented dishes. They do not take reservations at this time. Just an observation while dining on the dock... A few larger boats couldn't dock because all the larger slips in front were filled with smaller boats. It looks like they really need some type of well displayed signage to ask smaller boats to park on the back side of the dock.

Enjoyed happy hour on the water. Mondays are all day happy hour. Food was really good! The salmon bites were my favorite! Fries were crispy! Would for sure come back. Megan was a really nice server as well!

Had a great meal at this charming dockside restaurant with beautiful waterfront views. We ordered the jambalaya and crab cakes, and both were fantastic. The jambalaya was rich and flavorful with just the right amount of spice, and the crab cakes were packed with fresh crab, crisp on the outside and tender inside. For dessert, the key lime pie was the perfect finish—tangy, creamy, and not overly sweet. The laid-back atmosphere and friendly service made it even better. A great spot to relax, enjoy fresh seafood, and take in the scenery. I’ll definitely be back for more!
