Walk up to the window and order or call and order to pick up. Friendly workers. Picnic tables to eat there and also 4 minutes from Lighthouse park that has tons of bay front picnic tables with beautiful views (Take something to sit on. Bird poop is plentiful, $5 daily entry fee). Quite a large selection of seafood and some Mexican food too. We got chicken and beef street tacos that were great and hope to go back for seafood before we leave the area.

Some of the best crawfish I’ve had in awhile! I ordered the spicy Cajun with corn and potatoes and they were spot on and very tasty!!They were cooked perfectly! Reasonably priced! I will definitely be back!!! Keep up the good work! Never had a problem or a bad meal from Little Dockside!!

Fantastic food & friendly service, the gentleman cooking even offered up some great fishing spots and we were successful when we fished at them! We had a few captain plates, we preferred garlic butter and a dockside basket, enjoyed it all! When you’re in Port Lavaca definitely stop in here, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing little food truck with great food, informative service, and a solid picnic table outside. We got the captains plate and the crab egg rolls and really enjoyed it
