Great place and amazing neighborhood.. do wish it was open year round though but I get it it's not worth it financially Definitely recommend it though
We had a great dinner outside, sheltered enough from an evening storm as it rolled through - the tacos were delicious, my husband loved his cheeseburger, we devoured a huge container of fries, and the staff was lovely.
This place is such a gem!! They've got a cute outdoor setup, super high quality food and they're BYOB. My table got the loaded fries to share and they were yummy - the aioli they put on it really makes it. I shared the scallop and tuna tacos and both were fantastic, the seafood was super fresh. Other people in my group got the oysters and burger and were happy with their items. One thing to note is that the scallop tacos aren't super filling though I think that's to be believed expected when ordering scallops in general. I'll definitely be recommending this place to friends and family!
Excellent and relaxing atmosphere. Food is good but not great. BYOB helps to keep the cost down.
Got the blackened mahi fish tacos and although a bit small, they were VERY good. I will be back.
Fantastic hidden gem in Wildwoods, NJ. Scallop tacos are phenomenal. The loaded fries are a table favorite. Great place for friends and family dinners. Staff are super friendly.
Great ambiance, great food. Typical shore service...friendly but not excellent. Great spot to bring the kids and friendly dogs are welcome too
This is a great local place. The tacos are delicious. I don't even eat fish but they had such a wide variety of non fish tacos and other dishes. The service was friendly & very knowledgeable about the menu. This is an awesome secret find that we really enjoyed!
The Dock is exactly the type of restaurant that hits all the marks for a post beach, relaxing dining experience. The restaurant is right on a dock nestled right off the bridge that brings you over to the small and often forgotten island of West Wildwood. The views are great, the service friendly and attentive by a well trained staff that goes out of their way to please you and ensure you feel completely comfortable. We started with a sampling of fresh oysters (Cape May big boys and Canadian salts). They were served chilled on a bed of ice with both a house made cocktail sauce and a mignonette. We started with the blistered long hot appetizer which was super spicy charred Long hot peppers served with chunks of tomatoes and manchengo cheese wedges. Our side dish was the loaded fries which were drizzled with street corn Mayo, scallions, old bay seasoning, and crumbled contiga cheese. For the main course we ordered the ahi tuna tacos and the scallop tacos. Both were probably the best tacos I've ever had. The restaurant is also BYOB so don't forget to bring a bottle of wine which they will chill in a bucket of ice if you please. All and all this was a phenomenal experience and a place we will likely frequent.
