Dockside Dave's is always a favorite of mine. I have yet to take anyone there who does not leave a believer! Modestly priced, good service, decent menu selection. Don't let the wait for a table run you off. Call in a take-out order & eat on the beach.

Popped into this casual eatery as we heard that the grouper was tops in the area. We were not disappointed with the ample take-out of grouper and chips (and a terrific, fresh green salad with homemade house bleu cheese dressing). The staff was very friendly and prompt. As New Englanders, we are used to the best that the sea has... More

Looked on Tripadvisor and went to several restaurants they recommenden while on recent trip to Treasure Island. These folks really know how to do seafood right. My wife and I both had the shrimp and scallop dinners--THEY WERE BEYOND GOOD! I

They have the best grouper sandwich you will ever eat. I got the batter fried with American cheese. Everyone else in my group had the blackened. All were great. Definitely try out the onion rings too.

Dockside Dave's still has the best Grouper I've had. The service was alright, but the food made up for the lack of interest our server was showing.

Great friendly place with the best Cheeseburger I have ever eaten. The waffle fries are to die for. The seafood dinners are large and very good. The servers are very friendly and helpful. The wait in line is well worth it. If you want décor and fanciness go elsewhere. If you want good food at great prices go there.

Oh My! best Grouper Fish Tacos ever!! Blackened was spicey- but we loved it!! Our server, Arleen, was awesome! She had to put up with our husbands just coming off a day on the golf course- she seemed like a veteran, for sure! (not sure if we were @St.Pete's Beach one? is there one closer to Clearwater?)

During tourist season Dockside Dave's is very crowded and the wait is about 15 to 30 minutes. It's a small place but it also has outside seating. The food is good and the prices are reasonable.

We ate lunch on Mar. 20 and had Grouper sandwiches. My was fried, my friends blackened and they were huge! My friend said the blackening was awesome, and I loved the batter they used on mine. I had to cut some off and eat it so it would fit on the bun! We also got 1/2 order of onion rings... More

We did not eat at this location rather the one in Madiera Beach but there wasn't one for tripadvisor. So we walked the 1/2 mile along the beach in freezing windy conditions the other night for something hot. Upon our arrival we were met with a couple of hippy waiters and very friendly. The building has lots of small rooms... More
