Dock's Oyster House Atlantic City Reviews
Great happy hour
Visiting from out of town and locals referred us to Docks. We walked in during happy hour and snagged a table in bar area. HH is only available in the bar. I attached a photo of HH menu. We enjoyed raw oysters, fried calamari, corn and crab chowd
Dive bar - went in for drinks with friends.
We didn't have any food so the experience was limited to an overworked bartender.
Food was great, got in for happy hour at the bar.
Service was amazing even with crowd they had, we never felt rushed.
Raw oysters were fresh and delicious.
Not fishy at all. Only $1.50 per oyster during happy hour. Fried calamari was also delicious. Crunchy. Not heavily breaded, so it was airy and light. Did not enjoy the Maine chowder. Watery. But that is my fault since this specific type of chowder
Went for happy hour after waiting online for 20 minutes,
Went for happy hour after waiting online for 20 minutes, sat at the bar ordered crab cakes, lobster mac and cheese and cauliflower appetizers can't say I was thrilled about any one of them, they were all ok but certainly not great.
Wonderful food,service,atmosphere and parking valet.
Went on a Wednesday night and it was very crowded. Best clam chowder! Had lobster tail and asparagus,both outstanding.
Customer service.
Let's start there extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu.I love it when you ask something about the menu and the waiter or waitress knows exactly what you're talking about. That's a ten out of ten for me. The atmosphere very
Dock delicious
We had the clams and shrimp ceviche to start it was amazing. For dinner I had the halibut special and it was one of the best halibut dishes I have ever had. It was so moist and delicious.
When you drive by and see the line at 3 o'clock you will
When you drive by and see the line at 3 o'clock you will understand you need to get in it. The happy hour is just incredible. The meatballs are the best, but the oysters with the champagne shallots are out of this world. I would love to go there
Loved our waiter Walter - shout out to him as he took care
Loved our waiter Walter - shout out to him as he took care of us with ease while he amazingly served a table of a dozen next to us simultaneously. Amazing food ! Best seafood I've had in a while. I'll make a trip back just to have dinner
This is an absolute must visit whenever I'm in town.
The Oysters are always fresh and 2nd to none.
The place is 125 years old.
You'd think that they'd have top notch experience in how to run a legacy restaurant. But I think they are just living off that legacy. I've been coming here for 35 plus years and I've seen the decline. Firstly, they have a LOUD
One of the greatest seafood restaurants I ever went to.
I had the halibut as a main course and it was fantastic. The oysters are also very fresh and good every time I go to Atlantic City I will be going here now.
Food Quality and service a big one star- Terrible
This restaruant has gone downhill in the last year. My wifes Lobster Tail and Filet was awful. Tail was overcooked and rubbery. The filet was the driest and toughest meat she ever had. We tried to complain but all the waiters were socializing
We had their main clam chowder.
That I would not recommend it to anyone. We , also , had crab cakes ... there were ok n we had a lobster roll. It was good but that is all. The bartender n service was great. Totally I think it's over rated.
Taz out waiter, fabulous! Main Chowder exceptional.
8oz Lobster tail uneatable! Return the dish once, , thought an abundance of seasoning was affecting the taste . Taz brought me another one with no seasoning . It didn't even taste like lobster. I left most of it on the plate . I've bee
Dissapointed
Decided to try this restaurant based on the great reviews. We were in town for my mothers birthday for two days and wanted to have a nice sit down seafood meal. The good -- The valet parking was a nice touch, decor and atmosphere of the restaurant
Delicious food and very friendly and helpful service.
I'm a seafood lover and my boyfriend is a vegetarian, so I was thrilled that our server was able to help him with vegetarian options so he could enjoy his meal as well.
First impressions are important and this is where it makes
First impressions are important and this is where it makes or breaks a restaurant. First off Receptionist was rude, slow and couldn't find our reservation. Finally got to our table , but the receptionist didn't want to even want to ass
Always the best
This place never lets us down. Alexandra our wait staff was amazing. Patient with all our questions and had great recommendations. We dined on the early side which was smart. Don't miss this place
Our fave in AC
Every time we've been here (twice...so far) we have had a great experience. Food has been very well prepared with interesting spins on traditional flavors. If I wanted to complain about anything we have eaten here, it would be that the mussels o
Never again
Horrible. the service was non existent. the food was like a diner! the fish looks like it was 100 days old, the green beans were soggy, all over the meal was really bad.
Top spot in AC
Another delicious meal! Second time in 3 months. We realize that you can’t beat Dock’s for food, quality, price, and atmosphere in AC. Let’s not forget the live piano player- nice touch. They are always busy for a reason and around since 1897
Great service and food
We always eat here when in the City. One of our favorites. Ate here in March and it was great! Came back end of May and still great! Memorial Day weekend and was very quiet. So unusual for this bustling spot. As usual the service was exceptional
Delicious oysters
I was looking forward to eating at the historical docks oyster house my whole trip to Atlantic City! It was very beautiful inside and busy. I got oysters Rockefeller, it was my first time trying them and they were delicious! I got the snapper for my
Still a classic
On this trip to AC, we went back to the classics we hadn’t visited in a while. Docks is an institution in AC and rightfully so! You don’t stay in business (since1897) for so long without delivering great food, service and ambiance. Appetizers
Average
I don't get all the 5 star reviews. While food wad good it was not fantastic. Our server was wonderful. Nothing ordered was hot warm at best. Crab cakes had a large amount of filler, the crab au gratin was barely warm and burnt on top. Sides were ba

I was so excited to bring my boyfriend here for his birthday. I'd been here once before and enjoyed the food and drinks. We came this time and he ordered a filet mignon cooked to a medium temperature. When it came out and he cut into it, it was clear
Excellent service.
Our waiter did a fabulous job making sure everything was done well. Even our water was never empty without asking for a refill. The food was done to perfection!! Would highly recommend if you are looking for seafood.

Everything outstanding; food, service, and ambiance Valet
Everything outstanding; food, service, and ambiance Valet parking a plus. Upstairs quieter than downstairs which is loud
Literally the best dining experience I think i've ever had.
Food was delicious service was amazing loved our waiter: Walter Loved the lady that played piano,she was such great entertainment. If i could give 100 stars i would.
Number one place to get a fantastic meal in Atlantic City.
Can't say enough about every aspect of our meal. Food, drinks, service, price-everything was above and beyond excellent. Even though it was crowded our table was easy to hear everyone and not have to yell!! Can't go wrong here just make reservations
Docks is my all time favorite restaurant! You can't beat
Docks is my all time favorite restaurant! You can't beat happy hour (if you can get a seat!) but everything is always outstanding from the service to the food to the ambiance and piano player! Chef Stefan is always a treat to see! I always leave here
It's an old school Mafia vibe (can I say this) .
it was Intimate;yet spacious just enough.i was greeted by a host who seemed overwhelmed ;however as gracious as possible . Although I had made a reservation I was told I still needed to wait a bit longer.Rightfully so, because this place was crowded
Dock's Oyster threw me a mulligan when I showed up a half
Dock's Oyster threw me a mulligan when I showed up a half hour late. "Foo, where have you been? We've been waiting!" said the nice hostess. "Sorry, guess I messed up on my way to the store and didn't make it there." "
Come and you won't be disappointed!
We came here with high expectations and weren't disappointed. Everything was great from the food to the service. The drinks were equally good. Overall, an experience worth the trip.
Awesome! Must visit when in AC!
We heard so many great things about this restaurant that we decided to finally try it. We weren't disappointed. It was excellent! The food, drinks, and service were top notch. I started with the Manhattan Clam Chowder which was awesome. For my main c

First time here and highly doubt it will be my last! Food and apps were delicious. The sneaky favorite app was the Scallop Ceviche!
Excellent dining
The bar drinks and appetizers are always very good and the food is delicious. We always come here at least once or twice each summer or fall.
The experience at this treasured restaurant is exceptional.
From the moment you walk in, you see the beautifully decorated ambiance. The service from Dawn was outstanding. The recommendations were great. The fish we had was one of the best we have ever had. Highly recommend this treasure.
Great food -but need to pay attention to food allergies !
Went to dinner with 5 couples and had a great time .. food was excellent . My wife has a Gluten allergy and she told the staff . They then served her crab dinner on white bread . They apologized for the mix-up and replaced the meal but this was a maj

Best restaurant in NJ.

We ordered a tuna appetizer which was not very good sent it back. The other appetizers were very good and the dinners were also very good . The service was extremely slow. It took almost 2 1/2 hours to have dinner.

I went here in in May when I was in Atlantic City to see Bill Maher. Overall, I think the food was really good. I would recommending trying to eat at the bar during happy hour as the prices are less than half of the regular menu. The clam chowd

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Dock's Oyster House Atlantic City at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Dock's Oyster House Atlantic City page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Dock's Oyster House Atlantic City to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Dock's Oyster House Atlantic City!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
