Happy they're open again! Hard lemonades were delicious per usual! Despite it being opening night, service was quick and food was great! Sad to see the hummus plate (a vegan option) wasn't on the menu this year - hope it comes back later in the season. Used to love the Caesar wrap as well! Drinks seem a bit overpriced, especially for the size ($14 for a small hard lemonade) - but hoping they're part of happy hour. Look forward to coming back, best outdoor eating in the area! read more

3rd year in a row I tried to give this place a chance and 3rd disappointment in a row. Showed up around 10 on Friday. It was glow night. There were little kids on the dance floor and the place was mostly empty, with some people around the bar. Went to the bar and stood there for 10 minutes, no acknowledgement by either bartender, and one started to take inventory. I gave up and we left a few minutes later. Tried the food in the past, and it was delayed, missing a side, and not good. Im surprised this place has stayed open. read more

Came today before 2 pm. Waited to be seated apx 5 minutes, approached the outside older bartender and she said "take any table" so we chose the 2nd table from the end outside the covered bar area on the water. After 20 minutes of no one bringing menus, I approached her (older bartender) at the bar for help. At first she ignored me, serving other guests, not making eye contact. Finally I said "excuse me", we followed your directions however no server has stopped by. It was obvious they were short staffed. Apx 5 minutes later our server arrived who said she just got there. After 2 pm so odd. Regardless she was apologetic, friendly and took our complete order. We have been here a lot so we know to tell them absolutely everything you will need. I mean order your food, ask for salt/pepper/extra napkins ketchup Tabasco extra plates if sharing an appetizer or you probably won't get it lol. For lunch we order wings with hot honey and a cheesesteak sub with fresh jalapeños and a side salad no fries. What we got was a cheesesteak with pickled jalapeños and cold fries and wings with no sauce . Our server fixed the issues. We finished eating asked for our bill gave our cc and received the receipt with no pen to complete it ‍. Asked the hostess for one and left. Sadly, my stomach has been so upset after eating. Normally service is iffy but food is good. Sadly today, something went terribly wrong. Walking out, they were having bathroom issues. Not their day read more

Nice spot right on the water. Nice cool breeze while enjoying dinner next to the fire pit. Was able to bring my dog out by the patio. Started with calamari and fried pickles, the calamari was pretty bland, but the fried pickles were good. Not too greasy. I got the crispy chicken wrap with Cajun fries, was satisfactory for a quick bite. It wasn't busy and service was good, everything was brought out at a reasonable time. read more

If you enjoy wickedly over priced food & drinks, with a side order of sassy and crude bartender, this is your place. (not joking at all) mid-day and the blond bartender (Taylor I think) was dismissive and interjecting her opinion in a conversation she was not part of. 2 hot dogs with usual fixings (relish, onions etc.) = $17 2 Margarita served in a 10 ounce plastic cup @ $15ea = $30 10 bone in (overcooked) chicken wings @$1.50ea. = $15 Cajun Fries (that had zero spice / flavor) good amount = $8 Add an expected tip 20% and $70+$5tax+$14tip = $89 Yipe! Now I must say the ambiance of being on the Housatonic River is kind of nice, which is why this in not 1 star review. Perhaps a service charge just for that would allow food & drink prices to be reasonable. read more

Food, Service and Ambiance is great, this is a great summer spot even family friendly

Crab cakes were absolutely amazing thin and crispy but moist inside you could actually see the crab meat !! Let's talk about the mozzarella sticks holy crap my cheese pull each time phenomenal definitely would go again super close to home also our server MASON super sweet and attentive we wish you well on your electrician journey ! Service was great food 5.0 stars for sure calamari was bomb too but I was too full to finish it read more

Food was average with lobster roll a bit higher. Service for us was not very good. Seated quick. 2 tables that arrived after us both ordered with one of them even getting their food before we ordered. We were ready to leave when a waitress came over and apologized. Food came quick as it was not busy. Also a very long wait to receive bill once we requested. read more

Phenomenal tucked away on the river in Seymour! Great folks making great food! Takeout tonight was 3 lobster rolls and an order of fried pickles. I put their lobster roll up against anyone around! Family and friend vibe. The band was setting up and the crowd was already assembled at 6 PM. read more

We have been back for dinner and they exceeded our expectations! Food was served promptly and was very good. The place was very crowded but well staffed. We did not wait long at all for any service, food or beverages. It was a nice summer's evening looking over the river while enjoying the lobster roll and fish and chips. read more

First time eating here, and won't be the last time. I have driven past this place everyday going to work. The parking lot is always packed. If that doesn't give you a sign of great food, I don't know what else will. So I decided to finally give it a try! Great food, great views right on the Housy. I really like that this place supports local! With that historic flood that happened 10 days ago, Dock 34 had the staff from the 67 diner working with them! Support each other! They honored all first responders with a free tab. I commend this restaurant for their amazing service and supporting local staff and other organizations affected by the flood! The food is mouth-watering delicious! Their philly egg rolls were really good. I had the Cali burger and sweet potato fries! The burger patty is cooked to perfection-medium well. The burger was a good size too! Definitely worth it! My husband had the Dock 34 burger. He said that burger was massive but sooo good! If you like a good burger, check this place out! It will NOT disappoint! read more

Food quality / price (value) rating 8.5. The atmosphere is casual riverside. This was our first visit here. This is a seasonal outdoor venue operating from April through October or November depending on the weather. They have a large outdoor bar area that can be closed in and heated if necessary, and a very large patio area along the shore of the Housatonic River. There are docks available for about 6 boats, and plenty of parking. The menu offers pub style food, hand held sandwiches and burgers, wraps, a few entrees, and other "roadside" foods. They have a limited number of draught beers. This place looks like it's a lot of fun, and they have things happening every night including games, karaoke, and live entertainment on weekends. I had a Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap, and substituted a very large bowl of cole slaw for fries. The wrap was very good, and had a decent amount of chicken. The wife had a Chicken Quesadilla that was large and she stated that it was very good. The restrooms were very clean and nice. The service was very good. read more

We went there to check it out to possibly rent space for an event. The food was good, but it took a long time to get. Staff were slow moving and really not too interested in helping guests. We had made an appointment with the "event planner", but without any notification prior to that day, she was unavailable. The outdoor space is very nice and we were looking to rent it for our event. They do not have food packages, but when we finally connected with one another, we put a package together that was reasonable and wanted to book. That's where it went downhill! The event planner sent the contract in an email which included pricing and what was needed for a deposit. Several attempts were made to contact this "event planner" in order to finalize the details, but we were ghosted! She finally called and when I returned the call two minutes after the phone rang, her phone went directly to voice mail. Apparently, when her phone gets a call that is not in her contact list, it goes right to voice mail, which is okay, but once you get a call, listen to your messages and respond to it. If you are trying to acquire business for the restaurant, you NEED to be available. I called a few more times and nothing. After a month, we received an email asking if we were still interested in booking the event, REALLY!! Unfortunately, they lost our business. It would have been a great place to have a party, but not being attentive to your customers builds doubt on whether everything would have turned out successful. read more

First visit was good , lobster rolls were good service was good Second visit terrible ! food came out with substitutions we weren't asked about Dish came with rice , we were given fries chef comes around and says we aren't out of rice and brought us some we didn't get checked on had to ask a busser to find our server that took 25 minutes she never asked how the food was or if we wanted anything another drink anything Very disappointed in the service probably will not go again. read more

Love this place !! Food is good .. staff and owners are nice .. especially their Bartender Mary Ellen Murphy!!!

food was great !! lobster roll was terrific and absolutely a beautiful day to be sitting riverside. Our server was really good as well. read more

Read on. The reason for the 1 was because of the 45/50 min wait and the lie about my order. Really disappointed! The place is outdoor. You get a great view of the river. If you have a boat, come dock it on a slip. They have a fire pit you can sit by and eat or by the bar. The food was very good. We ordered the Lobster Bisque, Stuffed Clams, Hot Dog w/ fries, and Fish and Chips. Lobster Bisque had good flavor, however, was lacking the main ingredient, Lobster! My daughter enjoyed her hot dog and fries. The chicken Quesadilla was flavorful. The Fish and Chips were delicious. I love my fried fish! This fish was flaky. The batter was crispy, airy. The tartar sauce complimented the fish very well. The 1 was for two reasons. The waitress that took our order, then goes to the table next to us and takes their order. A few mins later she comes back with drinks and silverware. In the meantime, we wait forty five minutes for the food. I hear the waitress giving the table next to us saying," hear are you're stuffed clams...". Then proceed to our table, letting us know the kitchen is backed up with orders. She then tells" food will be out in a few more minutes. Unfortunately we ran out of the special, stuffed clams. Can I get you something else?" We then get our food after 45/50 mins. The fact that I lied to about the stuffed clams (since the last clams should've come to me since i ordered first) and the long wait for bar food. read more

If you like 10$ draft beers and water downed drinks this place is for you . Bartender didn't not return my change after paying her or didn't even say thank you. Very rude I do not recommend this place to anyone read more

this place could have potential but there were so many red flag I seen from the beginning. first thing first came in at 8:30pm they close at 11pm. Once being sat exactly at 8:31 no one acknowledged or greeted us until 8:49pm. It was not busy and most patrons were leaving. The young lady that did greet us because she watched the interaction was actually off shift and decided to come back on to pick our table up. Anywho the menu is very mediocre and I just was not happy with the wait. In addition the buzzer threw my food away even after telling him I needed a TOGO container. when explaining to him I wanted my food he proceeded to grab it out the bucket where they collect finished dishes. So UNSANITARY! Overall it can be a very nice place but I will not be back. read more

Food was superb. Lobster roll was loaded!! Hidden gem on the river. Will be added to our summer stops!

We have been here three times and each time leave disappointed for some reason. Our first time the service was horrendous. They had just opened, so we knew there were some kinks to work out. The service did improve during our two other visits, however each visit we are disappointed in the lackluster food. There is nothing outstanding and nothing that will keep us going back for more. Charging $7 for a can of Corona will definitely keep us away. Ambience alone won't bring people back. read more

Dock 34 Bar & Grill - Chicken Ceasar Salad Wrap - Bars Near Me - Seymour, Connecticut

Great location! We had fun having a couple drinks and appetizer here. The location is lovely with tables along the river, a pavilion and even some seating by a campfire! They had live acoustic music which was so nice and all the staff were very nice. Great place to pull up in a boat with what looks like a brand new dock. All outside seating as well. Gave 4 stars because my $12 moscow mule was just ok and served in a plastic cup (as were all the drinks) and the service was just ok. I had to seek out napkins and go to the bar to pay the bill. We shared the corn dip appetizer which was good. Great place for a casual drink and dinner. There was a comment from another reviewer on the waitstaff clothing and yes, they were all wearing short tight shorts, like you would see at a gym. Not the most professional but I didn't find it offensive. read more

Busy , nice view, food took forever, stuffed clams were good, wait time for everything is awful drinks apps people complaining all around our table . Over an hour and a half for stuffed clams (2) and another hour for fried clams and even , more so for a second drink, no water offered with dinner, I know they are trying to but ..... read more

Overall: Great spot with a view near the river. Food was just ok. Lackluster beer choices on tap. Worth a revisit, will try again. Location: Outdoor only, seasonal location. There is a large covered pavilion style area and some seating along the edge. You're near the water and can watch boats drive by. Great place to relax on a nice day. This outdoor location is Dock 34's best feature, in my opinion. There was an acoustic guitar player too. It's definitely got potential as a cool hangout spot. My visit was during a late lunch. Food: Some basic bar type food (burgers) and some seafood. I went with the fish and chips. Not too bad. But nothing special. Just ok. They only gave a tiny shot glass size container of tartar, not enough. But they were happy to give more if asked. Just annoying to have to ask and make them walk back and forth. I'd have to come back and try something else to really give a score for food. Drinks: They have some mixed cocktails and beers. Not a large draft beer selection, the waitress named only 4 beers, which was a bit disappointing since it's a "bar and grill". Choices weren't even good. Add something like Sea Hag or Counterweight Headway and I'll definitely be back more. I ordered a Two Roads Lil Heaven and it came in a tiny plastic cup. I was expecting a typical 16oz size, but the actual cup was maybe 12oz for a low abv beer. Service: It was ok. The waitress was friendly and nice. Unfortunately, star taken away since she was dramatically chewing gum, like a loud chomp chomp, and I could hear it and see it. That was a bit of a turn off. She also seemed all over the place, even though it appeared not too busy and properly staffed. Maybe she was new. She also didn't seem to know about the beers on tap when I asked. read more

Enjoyed a nice casual dinner outside on the water. The lobster roll was very good with lots of meaty lobster. And the fries were cooked to perfection. Great place if you:relooking for a casual meal outside. read more

Stopped yesterday at Dock 34 along the river. It was my first visit and I really enjoyed myself. The food was fabulous. My waitress Roni was great! It was a little chilly on the river but they closed the pavilion and had heaters on to keep us warm! I can truly say I will be back again and make sure to tell all my friends about my wonderful experience I had. Thank you Dock 34! read more

Slow, slow, slow!!!! We were seated at 5:30 our 1 app didn't come out until 6:35 and we didn't get our meals until 7:20. I spoke with Justin the manager/owner to indicate this was completely unacceptable service and his only response was that "we should take one to the chest". On top of it, the server dropped one of our meals and in just a few minutes (after waiting hours) brought us out a new one...so concerning! Yes, we understand sometimes there are unexpected circumstances causing slight delays, but his response to our complaint was such poor customer service. Sad to say, we have been regulars and love the ambiance, the food is good, but now certain none of our party of 8 will ever go back. read more

Got the fish and chips. Two very small pieces of fish. No plates or napkins. The waitress said she would come back with some, never did. Had to go and get my own. read more

Decided to give this place a second try because the weather/location on the water. The food was good but the 32$ lobster roll wasn't delivered with its advertised coleslaw and the bartenders on a Monday were subpar at best. Bartender Mary was personable and friendly, yet Gianna, who replaced her mid meal was awful. Zero situational awareness, didn't assess the bar, the customers, only her phone and her peers. We try to visit and support local but in return would like customer service at the very least. Gianna didn't make rounds for 30 minutes and I had to request condiments and drinks etc. people were leaving due to her lack of awareness. This place due to location alone COULD be amazing- hire better. read more

Went on Friday, thought it would be a great way to start the Memorial Day weekend. The service at the bar was absolutely horrible. Bartenders did not even look up to acknowledge someone was standing there. It took me 20 minutes to finally have someone come over and ask if I wanted something! I was handed my bottle and a dirty glass. My friend met me there, she then waited another 15 minutes, no one even looked our way, even when we politely said excuse me. There were 10 people at the bar and we were 3 of those people. We ended up leaving. Not the experience I was looking for. Not sure if I'll go back which is sad because it's a beautiful location. read more

The food is good and the place is very clean and I love that we can sit outside by the river. However, My husband and I went there with our six kids, and when I saw the waitresses wearing shorts going up the crack of their butts, I was embarrassed seeing my teenage sons staring at them. Don't get me wrong, I get it. In order for them to make good tips, sometimes you have to dress to impress, but I think that their attire is more for a Gentlemans club and not for a restaurant where families will be bringing their kids. Unless the waitresses dress more appropriately, only me and my husband will go there, but I will not bring my kids. Sometimes the managers need to look outside the box and ask themselves if they would be OK with their kids seeing that. read more

Looks like a nice place BUT the service sucked. Someone please call Bar Rescue. Waited for over an hour and half for a soda and glass of wine which we never got. Asked our server twice where our drinks were and all I got was a dumb look. At that time I had enough and we left. So to the owners we sat for all that time and you didn't make any money from us. You lost us as customers and I can not recommend this place to any friends. read more

Great place. All outdoor dining in a large pavilion. Nice sized bar. Live music and riverside. On the shore of the Housatonic.

No plain cheeseburger on the menu so we had to inquire about one not drenched in sauce and additions, table was covered with ants, ketchup served in little packets only upon asking and meat quality was poor, unfortunately the fried pickles, or cheeseburgers made us sick for a few days thereafter. Customer service was busy taking photos next to us rather than serving us which was awkward as well as female serving attire. We went early on in the opening phase so perhaps things have changed. read more

food and service was good but the person in charge refused to turn on heaters lied and told us they were all broken and gas heaters were conveniently out of gas. this is an outdoor area under pavilion on our first cool September day 09/15/23 so not sure why he refused.
