I was so happy I looked this up when we landed in Dallas. The food is absolutely amazing. The lobster roll was packed, and the crab cake is the best I've had. Can't wait to try more when I come back read more

Ok so it's a lunch splurge for me but well worth it. I ordered the special of the day, 3 tacos and you can mix & match. So I tried the salmon, shrimp and cod. We went early to beat the lunchtime rush. The food flew out promptly. My friend got the elotes and lobster Mac and cheese. She had chunks of lobster in her side dish and the corn looked amazing too! I ate all of my tacos and omitted just one tortilla. The flour tortillas were very good. My favorite was the cod. They're all served in the tortilla on a bed of fresh slaw and a delicious sweet/spicy sauce. I'd order it again and ask for more of that sauce! It was nice eating by the fountains and enjoying a quick lunch! Go there, try it! Or get that lobster fix taken care of! read more

We ordered a lobster Mac and New England clam chowder. So I think the lobster Mac n cheese was good, but there was barley an lobster in it 2/5. The clam chowder was good; no complaints. Food was kinda pricy for how much you got so that's I gave it a low rating! read more

The lobster rolls are good, crab grilled cheese is also a win, as is the crab queso and chip dip. I haven't tried the tacos or shrimp yet, but the other items I've had are better than I expected. Pretty fast service and good quality, while the people are also pretty friendly. read more

Disappointed. Cold food. Wet tacos. I love love Dock Local uptown but this was closer to home so I ordered to pick up as I have done many times on McKinney. My shrimp tacos tasted ok but cold. Fish tacos, cold and so wet my son threw them out. My HOT lobster roll wasn't even what I ordered. I got a cold mayo covered, unseasoned, with stale chips.....in the trash. If it's to go, where is the foil to keep it warm? Money in the trash. My son ate leftover spaghetti instead. read more

The lobster here was great! I had the Connecticut and you can see in the picture the size of that claw meat! Super juicy and buttery, I would've gotten two, but you know...lobster is never cheap, but price is definitely worth it. Will return to try that lobster bisque. read more

I initially experienced a negative service rendering upon first visit yet it was proactively resolved by manager, Brett, with a genuine phone call and message apology. I love great service & he definitely exceeded my expectations. Their clam chowder and lobster grinder were exceptional and the menu gives a true variety of New England coastal favorites. Can't wait to return! read more

Sure, it's expensive, but it's amazing! We shared the lobster grilled cheese. It came with chips and Josie made pickles on the side! When I went to pick up the order, I got excited over the pickles being on the side and the chef who was running their stall gave us an extra side of pickles for free! The grilled cheese did not skimp on the lobster chunks either. Highly recommend! read more

We were looking for food in the area and found The Exchange Hall food court. There were multiple eateries inside, so we went with The Dock. We ordered the seafood mac + added shrimp (the mac is also served with chips) as an appetizer and the following tacos: shrimp tacos, baja fish tacos, and smokin salmon tacos. When our order was ready we realized that the food was cold, like very cold- all the seafood--not eating that. We returned everything so that it could be prepared again. While waiting we tried the seafood mac with the shrimp added. It cured the hunger we were experiencing, but the mac was very bland. After receiving the new order of food, which was not cold the second time around we dug in. The seafood was bland and not seasoned but the sauce and the toppings helped with the flavor. Besides that, The Dock was just okay. Probably won't return honestly. The customer service was good, and it was easy to place the order. The two gentlemen fixed the food order right away. I'm sure this place works for some people, but not for us. read more

I felt robbed at this location!!!! We went there on Saturday night & was extremely disappointed with the visit. We ordered for as pier street corn and asked to add lobster. They just gave me plain corn without lobster & I paid $13 for a small cup of corn.... RIDICULOUS!!! Firstly ,The guy did not understand what I was ordering and seemed sleepy or disinterested in what he was doing & totally seemed not to care much!!! I have been to Dock local in uptown a lot of times & never faced something like this. I have been to the Plano location as well. But nothing like this. The staff was definitely not friendly or welcoming. They don't have same menu in all the locations. I walked in to get the fried shrimp with a side of house chips, but instead got the house crab seasoned chips. And wanted corn with lobster, but just received pain corn. Even the crab queso was just tasting like regular queso. I regret going to dock local. The quality was mediocre & Felt robbed!!!! Never returning back. Adding pictures below. read more

Received a very inappropriate response from someone claiming to be the owner of this place. My review was honest and there was no need for him to reach out with the response that he did. There are several other reviews that have the same opinion as me about this establishment food. read more

Typically i order from the location on McKinney but today they were out of lobster. So, i ordered from the Akard location. I ordered the grinder which is supposed to come with langostino and lobster. This thing is full of Imitation crab. I literally unrolled a entire piece of what was supposed to be lobster or langostino. The only reason i gave 3 stars is because apart of my order was a lobster roll. And that was actually lobster but it also had Crawfish in it!!! WTF DON'T BUY HERE read more

:loud church bell strike: "WHAT?! This Shrimp Taco is Awesome!" I ordered via Doordash here last night. The garlic shrimp taco was the surprise winner, along with the Baja and Salmon tacos. I've always been skeptical of Fish tacos (and have never had good experiences with them), but i feel like this place - "Nailed It." These tacos overall had a citrus-y vibe going, which was unexpected, for no reason. Heheh! I felt like i was eating at the beach! I'm hoping a Blackened Fish Taco will materialize in the future! Several reviews mention the lack of lobster; i didn't see a lobster taco on DD. Not sure if it's on the menu in person... The owner states inflation in seafood market pricing (my words), which makes sense to me. I recently tried to buy fish at Whole Foods Uptown, and prices had surged on their seafood as well. Everything is going up, post 2020 pandemic. I'll wait on any lobster-based dishes until a later time. Or, just buy and cook it myself. More ordering options on doordash, please! (I ordered all my tacos without Pico, but couldn't add or subtract anything else.) The to-go order prep needs more attention, as it looked like the tacos self-imploded inside their containers. It's possible they used a driver from The Fast and Furious movies to deliver it, and things got shifted around. The order was sealed and stapled together, so that was nice! (Maybe toothpicking tacos together? Or something. Or wrapping them in aluminum foil, perhaps?) I hope to visit them in person soon; they're in my neighborhood, just a few blocks away. :Church bell finished ringing: read more

The lobster roll is pretty legit, the clam chowder was pretty forgettable. Was hoping the score would be higher than average, but throw in some fresh-cooked but otherwise very, very plain chips to go with it and unfortunately I'm just not convinced enough to rate it higher, let alone say this is a place I would think would be one of my preferred choices to come back to in this particular food court. read more

First time visiting the exchange! The Dock immediately caught my attention as I've been yearning for a lobster roll, and they did NOT disappoint! I ordered the Connecticut roll which was nice, hot, juicy and nicely filled! So yummy, do recommend! read more

While the food was waiting for me when I got there to the pick-up counter, the crab queso was cold and there was no cheese taste at all. The Northern Bowl with crab was limp and soggy, and the crab was clearly from a can. No flavor. I won't be back. read more

The lobster grilled cheese tasted awesome, but it wasn't a grilled cheese. The cheese was barely warm. The lobster bisque was way too thick and didn't really have much lobster flavor. read more

The food here was average. I felt like there was not much flavor and it was nothing amazing. Additionally, I asked for a receipt and the lady at the front told me they don't have the paper for the receipt and so instead I opted for the email receipt. I never got an emailed version and checked my bank and they charged me double the tip. I felt like she purposely denied me a receipt to do this. It was shady. And I would recommend avoiding this place. read more

They gave me the driest and most distasteful lobster roll I ever had. No amount of butter could make the lobster meat moist.

We had the Connecticut roll and it was amazing. The chips were delicious as well. I'm not sure about any of the other good. But the roll amazing. read more

As a seafood lover I was excited to try this but it was just ok. We ordered the garlic lobster fries, bowl of clam chowder, bowl of lobster bisque, lobster grilled cheese and lobster BLT. The fries and soup was very very salty. The side chips were tasty and crispy. My daughter loved her lobster grilled cheese and the lobster BLT was delicious and lots of meat in it. But you have to drink a gallon of water after the meal way too salty. read more

I had a lobster roll and the homemade chips. It was amazing! A bit pricey but definitely worth it for a treat.

Fire! Absolute fuego! Had the Maine lobster roll. SOB it was good af! Flew in from Las Vegas (epicenter of bomb.com dining) and had this for dinner. read more

During a recent work trip, my colleagues and I found ourselves famished for dinner. We happened upon a place called the Exchange which included multiple dining options within its walls. Think of it as an upscale version of the food court in your local mall. Four of my colleagues ordered from The Dock. Their selections included the crab queso, lobster bisque soup, and tacos (shrimp, Baja fish, and Smokin' salmon). I have a seafood allergy so I was not able to partake, but every single patron reported their food was absolutely delicious. They all reported that their favorite was the shrimp taco. Now that's gotta be a fantastic shrimp taco to beat out a lobster roll, but that was the consensus. A few additional colleagues arrived at the Exchange looking for dining options so I referred them to The Dock. These colleagues, also, reported the shrimp taco to be their favorite! I will admit that all the dishes did look epic. You simply must try The Dock for a great seafood dining experience. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but i was practically dying to go back after trying their tacos! I'm a regular customer now and can safely say that the food is fresh, fast and they always give out big portions considering the market price. Customer service is outstanding. keep the good work! read more

I'm from Scottsdale, AZ and in town for work and tried their Baja Fish Tacos- Amazing!!! Highly recommend!!

This used to be my favorite spot in the exchange but tonight I paid over $48 for a Connecticut roll and a lobster bisque bowl. The roll was fine except light on the lobster. It's hard to mess up though. It's toasted bread and lobster slapped on there. Simple. I paid $9 for soup that had one single tiny pathetic piece of lobster on it. I mean TINY. I went back to the counter and asked if it was an error. It was not an error. I was informed that the price of lobster is too high to make the food as advertised. Yikes. Super disappointed. I ended up dumping my lobster from the roll into the bisque. I won't be frequenting here anymore. Good service. Nice people. It's just way too expensive for what I actually walk away with. As a kid from upstate New York who spent their summers in Maine - this was a massive let down. I came here for a taste of home regularly but cannot justify paying more than I would for an 8oz fillet (with sides) for a lobster roll and the saddest bowl of flavorless soup I've ever seen. It genuinely bums me out for this place as it immediately felt like they were unable to meet expectations and that's a death nail to a restaurant. read more

Tried the Maine lobster roll today. In truth, I was skeptical. It's hard finding a proper Lobster Roll in Dallas - when you are from the east coast and know what a fresh one right off the boat tastes like. The verdict: passable in a pinch. If that's what you really want, then this one will do. It's under-seasoned though, so get some salt and pepper. But, the crab chips were NOT crab chips. Mine had zero old bay seasoning on them; so... a tasty chip yes, but a crap chip? No. I'd come back and try other items though. read more
