    Brisket with spicy Mac, cornbread, and I forget what else
    Maria G.

    I ordered the brisket and it was so good!!! They have different bbq sauces at the table. The blackberry and spicy peach or mango were Delicious! We sat on the patio, open area and the atmosphere was great. Service was prompt. Good music, great environment.

    Nacho tray
    Amy F.

    Overall the food rates between an 8-9/10 on all 5 separate orders. The waitress was attentive. The ambiance was okay. I would recommend optional shades on the window for the canal side of the restaurant, as it was extremely bright. In addition, it was very loud. Unavoidable in this setting but should be noted when looking for a place to quietly talk with friends. Nice atmosphere for drinks, but not so conducive for group trying to talk. Overall nice place. I wish I had went out of my "comfort zone" and ordered the cigar appetizer. If and when I return, I will try it!

    Out for dinner and they are packed!!!!
    Kristin H.

    I love coming here. The place is open and nice. They have a lot of seating which is good as they are always busy. That is due to the food. Everything is soooo good. I have had dinner with friends here many times and everyone has loved. They have a fantastic gluten free pizza and they have a dedicated fryer which means as someone gluten free I can have the fries. The wings are amazing too as they are smoked!!!! What could be bad?!?!?! The bar is really big and u dont wait for a drink. The staff is super friendly and fun too!!! Go here. U will be so happy u did

    Kids cheeseburger sliders and fries (one bite missing from a kid obv)
    Alissa N.

    I was impressed by the food we ordered, the waitstaff were helpful and quick, and overall I think a good value for the price. The variety of sauces on each table were great, we had fun trying them out. The smoked wings were spicy but flavorful! Nachos were extremely giant and good. Kids meals with the burger sliders were perfect. We will definitely go back to try some of the other options. It seems like a place you can bring home enough leftovers for another meal!

    Great food and view right next to the Tonawanda canal. When we got here during a weekend night, it was packed. Had to wait for 30 minutes to get our seats. Ordered chicken wings, the district, 2-meat (brisket and ribs), all are very good! Service is very accommodating. Will return.

    Nachos with ground beef.
    Laura S.

    I wouldn't say we are at the point of being "regulars" but we easily are here once every other month or so. We have never had a bad experience. The food is always incredible, the serves are very pleasant and great at what they do, and we LOVE that the owner is out and about, always helping his staff, thanking the customers, and wanting feedback. Today, I'm here to RAVE about the nachos. We have always seen other tables get them and finally last night we went for it. As soon as they got to the table, we all knew we weren't going to eat our dinners. The 4 of us ALL insisted these were the best nachos we have ever had, and I truly could go on and on about why. The first bite was the absolute freshest bite I have ever taken of nachos. Fresh pico, fresh jalapeños, nothing seems canned or like it has been sitting around. There is hot delicious cheese even UNDER the tower of chips. No chip goes uncovered. Enough toppings for every chip. The ground beef was delicious. The best part... under the weight of all of those toppings and delicious cheese, the chips did NOT get soggy. We even had a few stragglers we couldn't finish once our meals arrived. Do not sleep on the nachos. I truly could keep raving. They were heavenly.

    Boom  boom shrimp appetizer $16, tasty
    Kinnie I.

    Boom boom shrimp appetizer was yummy. $16. Service prompt and friendly. In the area my group was seated, the television screen was too small to see properly and way too high up near the ceiling. You have to keep cranking your neck back to look up. Ouch! My advice is to remove that artwork and lower the screen, and buy a bigger screen to accommodate that area of the restaurant. That is if you would like to consider yourself a sports bar. I agree with the other reviewer that it gets very noisy in there. Somehow the acoustics are not meant for holding a conversation easily with your dining partner. It's OK for watching the football game.

    Bbq plate
    Shannon S.

    Love this place. We frequent there often as we are typically available later in the evening and they will take your food order late! We enjoy sitting at the bar to watch sporting events. They do have igloos for winter dining! Everything we have had is really tasty. The turkey club, apple pecan salad, and the pimento chicken sandwhich are our favorites. If you do the bbq you have to try the corn pudding and baked beans- my personal favorite sides. The nachos are huge definitely shareable! And don't sleep on the burrata or fried pickled apps. All the bartenders we have met while there are beyond friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We watch them very thoroughly clean at night and the three guys we have seen work are skilled bartenders with great customer service. We will continue going again and again!

    2 Meat Plate
    Joseph B.

    We visited District 37 for a company dinner and many of us had traveled to the area from Texas. Had to say I was impressed! Atmosphere was perfect for our dinner and enjoyed the large draft beer selection. Our service was excellent for as large of a group as we were, more than 15 people. Food was excellent and everything came out correctly. I had the two meat plate with turkey and ribs and got to sample several of the apps ordered for the table. Was definitely not disappointed!

    Eric D.

    Been meaning to try it here and finally made it. What a cool place and great location! There is a lot of street parking nearby and they're right on the canal which will be awesome in warmer weather. The food was fantastic I didn't know they had BBQ so I had to try that their sauces I think there were five were all fantastic and the brisket, turkey and pulled pork I tried were great! Staff and the manager I think were so nice and welcoming thanked us for being there. We had a really great time! I would absolutely come back again. I loved their pimento mac and cheese it's very unique and super tasty. I'd love to get a big bowl of that with a meat as a meal!

    White Tuscan pizza
    Brian G.

    We found this place on a whim and decided to check it out. We were a bit nervous when the hostess said there were 11 parties in front of us. 10 minutes later and we were seated! The service was great and we received our food very quickly. We ordered the pickle appetizer and three entrées to share for four of us. There was more than enough food! We ordered the white Tuscan pizza along with a Maui burger and 12 chicken wings. He tried him was delicious and his own account and we will definitely return sometime! Clean restaurant and clean bathrooms!

    Detroit style cheese and pepperoni pizza
    Aaron R.

    Been here twice in 4 days! Pizzas, chicken sandwich, HUGE nachos, burgers and fried pickles are mouth watering. The pizza crust is cheesy and melty, sauce is delicious! The Cuban Cigar appetizers rock too! If it says spicy on the menu, believe it! Wait staff is stellar, fast and very nice. Brendan was one of our waiters on Saturday. Very nice and very respectful. The restaurant has the main floor with seating and a stocked bar, and then there is another area a couple steps up. Not too loud, and the Sabres were on! Greeted by the owner or manager, and we saw him both times. Classy! A+ 5 stars!

    Cuban cigars - little Cubans no roll
    Liz S.

    Everything here exceeded expectations! The food was amazing. The service was second to none and the spot was beautiful! You can tell the owner cares about this place.

Someone stuck a plate of meatballs in front of my face so of course I took one. Quite tasty. Loved loved loved the eggplant stack appetizer, but be sure to eat it all at the restaurant because it does not reheat nicely when you're home later on. I also had the chicken piccata which was on a bed of couscous and artichokes. Different, but tasty. Needed salt and pepper. My friends ordered some sort of a pasta dish and some sort of a salmon dish. They both liked their food. I tried my friends brussels sprouts and Jesus Christ.

We had a reservation for 7:30. They took us to a table at 8:00. We got drinks about 8:30 and we didn't get the entrees until 9:30. Knowing that in advance , I would have made reservations at 5:30 so the entrees would have arrived at 8:00. No one bothered to explain the delay. No comp round of drinks or anything was offered to ease the pain. So it kind of put a damper on an otherwise good experience. Another warning. Parking is a nightmare in North Tonawanda which makes me avoid going there very often.

The drinks? Delightfully affordable. The playlist was on point, mixing nostalgia with beats that make you forget you're not at a dance club. And yes, the pool table was open, which is a miracle in itself; it's like finding a unicorn in a bar! Now, let's talk about the floor--it's like a magic carpet ride that convinces you you're tipsy, even if you're just sipping on a soda. I swear, I thought I was swaying like I was at a music festival! The ladies bathroom is so adorably decorated that you might just forget what you came in for. Who knew a restroom could distract you from your drink? I left wondering if I should start redecorating my own bathroom instead of my living room. One tiny quirk: the dartboard could use some new darts. Sharing is caring, but when you're trying to unleash your inner sharpshooter, having to pass around a few sad, old darts isn't the vibe. More darts, please! Overall, if you're looking for a laid-back spot with good vibes, solid tunes, and a bathroom that deserves a feature in a home decor magazine, 200 Main is your place!

Our server checked my ID when I ordered a drink, which was perfectly fine, but didn't even acknowledge that it was my birthday. Not a huge issue, but it would have been a nice touch. Service was also inconsistent. My mom's Diet Pepsi was forgotten when our drinks were brought out, although the server did bring water for the table, which I appreciated. The appetizer was delicious and was honestly the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, my entrée was where things went downhill. I ordered the twin filets cooked medium, but both arrived very well done. I mentioned it to our server, who took them back for a remake. When the replacement came out, it was served on a piece of lettuce for presentation, but the steaks were still not cooked correctly. One was medium rare, which I was willing to accept at that point, but the other was once again well done. I brought it to the server's attention a second time, and I was told a manager would be stopping by our table. That never happened. Instead, the entrée was simply removed from the bill. While I appreciate not being charged for a meal that wasn't prepared correctly, I was disappointed that no one came to speak with me or offered an alternative entrée so I could actually have dinner. The impression I was left with was, "We'll take it off the bill and move on," rather than making an effort to fix the situation. It's unfortunate because the two guests dining with me thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Sadly, I ended up leaving hungry on my own birthday. That's not the experience I was hoping for, and it's why I can't recommend Dockside Bar & Grill based on this visit. To make matters worse, after sharing my experience in a comment on the restaurant's Facebook page, my comment was deleted and I was blocked from their business page. Rather than addressing customer concerns or attempting to resolve issues, they chose to silence feedback. In my opinion, that's not good business practice and only added to my disappointment with the overall experience. Constructive criticism should be an opportunity to improve, not something to hide from potential customers. EDIT TO ADD AFTER MANAGEMENT RESPONSE: If you truly wanted to take full ownership of the situation, then either you or a member of your management team would have come to my table last night to speak with me, as our server advised would happen. Simply removing an item from the bill does not constitute fully taking ownership of what you referred to as a "human mistake." As for being blocked from your Facebook page, that's fine. Based on both my experience at your restaurant and your response afterward, I have no intention of returning. What is particularly disappointing is that after I posted my initial comment about my experience, no one from management attempted to contact me privately. You could have easily sent a Facebook message to discuss what happened and address my concerns. Instead, my comment was deleted and I was blocked from your business page. Your handling of customer feedback demonstrates a lack of hospitality and professionalism. Had there been better communication when the issue occurred, I likely would not have felt compelled to leave a negative review in the first place. The problem was never just the food or the mistake itself--it was how the situation was handled afterward. I can now better understand why other reviewers have commented on management's reactions to criticism. Word-of-mouth remains one of the most powerful forms of advertising. Unfortunately, negative experiences and poor customer service tend to spread much faster than positive ones. Since you chose to remove my feedback, block me from your page, fail to follow up after I had already attempted to address the issue while still in your establishment, and suggest that simply taking an item off the bill was "taking ownership," I will be sharing my experience with others and recommending that they think twice before choosing your "on the water" dining experience. You asked why I wouldn't call you to discuss making things right. The answer is simple: you had the opportunity to do that last night. I was already there, willing to discuss the issue, and was told that management would speak with me. That conversation never happened.
