This place is right on the water, which is super cool. There's a nice patio. Except it was 110° outside! The inside has a old to crappy diner feel the staff was the owners of his son and another waitress. They were super friendly and gave great service. The food was really good. With absolutely huge portions! Overall is a decent dinner, my steak ended up a little overcooked, but it was still good. The onion rings are unbelievable. read more

Positives: huge portions, owner and staff are super sweet, good fried chicken sandwich, good fried shrimp, good house salad, yummy homemade croutons Negative: the booths are super dirty and old, need a definite update, cobwebs at table, and dead bugs and dirt on window sills at tables. Please give this place a good cleaning, the food is actually good here! read more

Why a 5? Well I'd give a 5 for the service alone! Next, great selection there was something for all of us (party of 6). My bacon cheeseburger I swear there was like 8 slices of bacon on that big boy. Yes we will be back, yes every dish was good, and yes it's worth it. read more

I am still in awe of how phenomenal the food and customer service is at The Dock Restaurant! They spoil you with extras that aren't included. The homemade croutons are beyond words. We get chicken and vegetables. When we first ordered it, I had never idea of the delicious platter that awaited us. Seriously incredible and huge. You have to finish off the night with the homemade bread pudding. So delicious! The customer service is phenomenal but the views of the river... no words. If you are anywhere around The Dock, you need to go! read more

Great customer service at the Dock Restaurant, 5 Stars the whole time. The servers and the chef are amazing, very friendly and ensured my family and I got everything we wanted! The quality and quantity of food is amazing. The Ribeye was cooked to perfection with a great taste. Don't forget about deserts when you come here they're just as good as rest of their menu.

We have seen the signs advertising the ribeye steak, so my wife and I decided to give it a try. We've been coming to the river for the last 30 years, we have enjoyed the Dock previously, but not with the new owners. We were seated quickly and the server was very nice. Unfortunately when we looked at the menu we couldn't believe the prices......$100.00 for the 30 oz ribeye.....$23 hamburgers.....nothing under $20. We didn't try the food, I would expect to pay these prices at Fleming's, not in Parker. We just left and went to Dumas's. I can't see how they can have these prices and stay in business......best of luck to them, but out of my price range. read more

Lots of food and very fresh. Worth the price. Very nice owner and people who work there too.My mom and I enjoyed our time here. read more

Dock Restaurant - BLT - Salad Near Me - Big River, California

We went in to experience what we were told to be the best fried fish dinner around. My wife and son ate the ALL YOU CAN EAT fish and shrimp dinners which come with fries, coleslaw, a soft drink, and or a salad. They were both blown away about how much they got and the quality or the food. I had the Bacon cheeseburger, onion rings, and a large root beer. Killer good and BIG. We ordered the fried zucchini as an appetizer, seriously the best we've ever had. Mark was amazing and made our experience one for the record books. My wife even said that her dinner salad was the best she ever had and that's something that didn't expect from a quaint, little cafe style restaurant with a great view and a great park for the kids to play. All in all, great experience and worth the trip. read more

Mark and his staff make sure that you are taken care of and your meal meets with your expectation. The shrimp and chip plate is delicious and abundant. They make an amazing cole slaw. I highly recommend the bread pudding, even if you have to take it to go. read more

Do not believe the prices you see on websites. The prices are very high. $20 appetizers and $50 steaks. Not impressed.

Had dinner here last night. Good food, large portions and friendly staff. The ribeye was good as was the fried fish. Their salads are large and fresh, the fried chicken is very good. Nice area, on the river with outdoor seating. They are planning to start serving breakfast, can't wait to try.... Will be back again soon. read more

Great family run restaurant with amazing food and river views. Highly recommend you visit.

Well let's just say I was truly impressed by this restaurant. We went in as a party of 6 all first timers of The Dock. Five of us had the Rib eye special & one had the fried shrimp, fish & chips. We all started off with a very large fresh garden salad, toasted garlic bread, a fully loaded baked potato & grilled zucchini then came the 10 oz. steak (which looked more like a 16 oz.) perfectly cooked & seasoned. Everything was delicious the owner Larry was attentive & made the whole experience feel like you were at a 5 star steakhouse. We will definitely be back & I highly recommend to others. read more

The good: friendly staff and we got to see and feed the donkeys, coleslaw was tasty, burgers were good, with lots of bacon. The bad: the fish tasted like cinnamon and slipped out of the breading. We were shocked by the prices no item less than $20 but the meals come with a beverage, side and dessert. We split some entrees. Not the cleanest and the roof is falling apart. We heard later from a local that they had recently been shut down by the health department but fortunately none of us got sick! read more

Excellent every time. We have lunch here every time we visit big river. Right on the river no need to go into town. Portions are super generous and the chef is so friendly, he is always going above and beyond, making sure we get exactly what we want and more!. Seriously, save your time, don't pack a lunch and just get your grub here. One order of chicken tenders will feed a hand full of kids. read more

Dock Restaurant - Ribeye - Salad Near Me - Big River, California

Excited to have a place to eat close to our home! We love the staff and the food. Huge portions.

Rating must be from pre-Covid when this was a great place. Way over priced and worst fish I think I have ever had. The few fries weren't bad. Waitress tried, but food came out so slowly. Price of everything was beyond high for the quality. Worst was the 10 percent automatic add on for cook and service people. Why not just increase the prices even more? Tips are voluntary. Will not return! read more

Excellent find. Great service. Terrific food & huge portions. Had fish & chips + Shrimp & Beer. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend

Hidden Gem, the Mrs and I ate there and enjoyed it. The owner was a gentleman and the food was good. The view of the river at sunset is priceless. We highly recommend locals, summer and winter visitors stop by and give it a try. Next time I'm getting the steak. Marcelino see you next time. read more

The Dock in Big River is a local restaurant located on the Colorado River. Mark and Eddie provide friendly and great service. Food is American fare and it is substantial and delicious! A must have is the all you can eat fish and shrimp. So much food take out box will be required. A favorite of mine is the BLT. The bacon is so good! And there is A Lot of it! Beer and wine is available and a breakfast menu is in the works. So if you want a relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food The Dock is a must visit! read more

Good food and service large meals great people who work there views of river easy parking

Owner was kind and staff was friendly! Very attentive. Food tasted fresh. Definitely recommend if you're around the area.

I hate it I am not sure what I just ate but I ordered the gourmet mushroom burger! Doesn't smoked Gouda and a variety of mushrooms all on angus beef sound good? Well that's what I thought too. However, it was the most disgusting nonmeal I've eaten in quite some time. UNBELIEVABLE!! I won't even go into the greasy and cold sweet potato fries fried in old oil. I'm not sure what kind of meat I just ate but I don't think it was angus beef and it definitely was not cooked as requested read more

One for the California side of the river. Just found out they reopened and not a day to soon. Came here for the Friday night all you can eat fish and it was pretty darn good. The staff is friendly and prompt. They could probably use a better A/C unit since it was a little warm in there. But I'll be back again. read more

What an awesome place for Friday night Fish and chips all you can eat. It's the best tasting fish on the Colorado River. Our waitress Connie was very friendly and attentive. Actually she gave us a choice of crispy or extra crisp fish. All you can eat fish and chips, includes your 1st choice of drink beer, wine or soft drink all for $11.00. Don't forget to leave a nice tip, they earn it. I highly recommend anyone craving for fish to give this place a try. You can count on us to be back soon. I only wish they would open for breakfast and lunch. read more

I'm a river rat- spent every summer there when my granparents were alive & living in Big River. We had many lunches & dinners at the dock. I've been ordering from that to go window since I was 3. Tuna melts are the best, then in the mid 80s / early 90s they started serving jalapeno poppers... I'm positive this was the first place EVER to serve them. I miss coming here. read more
