Friends took us here to eat and we liked it so much we went back the next day for lunch! The hush puppies were the best I have ever had. The flounder just perfect and the vegetable medley was fresh, not frozen. We also got some seafood from their seafood market to take home. The waitstaff was great, the view was great and the band was really good too. We will be back!

Great service, live music, and one of the best fresh seafood meals available. Beautiful scenic dock on the water. One of the largest selections of fresh fish. Vegetables are also fresh, not frozen. All for a reasonable price. You can take some fresh fish and other seafood home from their market also! Dockside has become my goto restaurant in the Virginia Beach area with my highest recommendation.
We had a fun time fishing and couldn't believe how accommodating they were to our young grandchildren. I highly recommend these guys.
I have been taste testing Virginia beach Oyster Rockerfella. So far Dockside is best. I have tested many restaurant options on the bay and ocean side. Dockside has the perfect balance of cheese spinach, oyster and flavorings. On a side note.we also had clams casino, it was pretty good too. My favorite was the Oysters. Both tables near my had fresh ?. Got to go back soon
My husband and I just had a wonderful experience fishing with the Dockside folks. We caught lots of fish and our mate, Haley was oh so helpful and welcoming and just a lot of fun. We would not hesitate to go out with them again the next time we are in town.
Very nice view. Servers were great and attentive. Prices are a lil high but I guess it pays for the view or location. My friends and I arrived and enter from the docks. We got to park the boat on their dock. The clam chowder wasn't new England so if you expected that, get the she crab soup instead. Both were good though. The food were delicious too.
Had a wonderful afternoon fishing on the Nancy Anne. Everyone caught fish and the crew was most attentive to us and our needs! A very pleasant experience on a clean boat with an excellent staff. I highly recommend these folks!
The ship hands were absolutely wonderful. They circled around the ship helping everyone with the bait and fish. This was the first time my twins, 14, and my youngest, 9, had ever been on a boat (all boys). They are definitely “princesses” so the deck hands helped them so much. Both the young lady (a recent college graduate who just got a job as a special education teacher) and the young man were absolutely wonderful, and I am truly appreciative for their kindness, humor(she had the jokes!), and attentiveness they gave us. The captain tried to make sure we found/caught fish and the day was beautiful! The fish were small but, in our opinion, it was worth the money. We truly enjoyed the time out on the boat and loved the family time!
The food was phenomenal and fresh. The service was great too. It was neat to see the fish market as you entered the building and look at all the fresh fish. I had the tuna, and it was incredible. The potato salad was incredible too. Everything was good. I do think the shrimp add on to my meal was overpriced considering the three tiny shrimp I received, but they still were very good tasting. I love the batter they used. The hush puppies were also awesome and my kids enjoyed them.
The service is fairly fast, but very friendly. Tables both inside and out, with part of the outside covered and roll up vinyl windows. Great view over the water (inlet). Nice to keep the rain out, but then let the breeze in to get the humidity out. The fresh catch of the day had a wide variety with three different preparations. Good variety of beer on tap and in bottles.
