Service was outstanding. The hostess/waitress/table bus was very friendly. The restaurant was quiet but, the place was empty, two other tables while we were there. Food was good, not exceptional but pretty good. read more

We came in on a Thursday night and sat out on the back deck for supper. Super chill vibe. On Thursday's they have 1/2 price apps - definitely an awesome deal!! Would highly recommend checking this place out. Server was super friendly and chatted with us most of the evening as they were kinda slow. read more

The food is hot and delicious! Our waitress was amazing! Kept coming back to check on us. This place is so quiet and friendly staff. I will be returning soon. My favorite was the fish sandwich. First time here and it ain't the last!!! read more

Great food. Try the fried green beans, I can't remember what they call them but they are awesome.

Visiting from MI to see our son. Anything that could go wrong did...... Warm beer, spilled wine, after 20 min. no Italian dressing, ordered 2 of special seafood ravioli, oh wait..... we only have one, bill came and we're charged for 2. The staff acted as if they'd never had customers before. Obviously they don't very often. Will never go back! read more

Went here last night--I didn't bring my phone to take pics but great food/drinks/atmosphere! Duke made me an awesome lemon drop martini and the food was quite amazing! My friend had the shrimp plate with 3 types of shrimp which looked amazing--she plans to get that every time. I got the nachos with chicken and they did not disappoint!! Homemade nachos, tons of toppings, lots of food! Definitely recommend! read more

Service was less than desirable. Messed up orders not once, but twice! I also ordered a " to go" the server couldn't get the card reader to work...he wanted to enter my card info in that phone/reader. I didn't like that, paid in cash instead. I had given the card to him, but when he stepped behind the register and I saw he was typing in my card number. That's suspicious as hell... I cannot recommend this place based on the service issue. The food was okay...but nothing special. read more

Came to the Dockside on a Sunday evening with my gal pals and we were immediately surprised by the cool ambiance. We sat outside and it was pleasantly quiet. We started with the gator bites which were pretty good, just wished they were seasoned a bit more. We also got margaritas which were well made and half priced for happy hour. I got the captains platter which included, fried catfish, coconut shrimp, and crispy clam strips. The coconut shrimp was delicious and the crispy clam strips were surprisingly tasty. However do not get the catfish. Overall great service and experience. Would come again! read more

A 100 star rating if it was possible on yelp would be 1000000000% deserved. The server Ali (I hope I spelled that right!) was super nice and welcoming, the chefs are absolute legends in the kitchen and the portions are perfect!. This is mine and my fiancés second time in and we've officially deemed this our go to nixa spot! We without a doubt will be back! read more

So have to say the service is horrible. One girl working taking care of everything. It's not her fault just the establishment dropped the ball with staffing. Wanted a burger rare, but neither chef knew how to cook it rare. Ended up with a grilled chicken sandwich. Food was okay, server tried but was overwhelmed. Probably wouldn't go back based on this experience. read more

Dropped in on a Friday at 6pm. Restaurant area was already busy. Outdoor patio area had live music. They were able to seat us in the bar area right away. Crab dip app was great. Southwest chicken salad was very good. Friday catfish special was good too. Overall service was good. We'll be back! read more

Service was a great experience my cup never ran dry which is always great. The food was amazing and piping hot when it got to our table. My girlfriend and I tried the bobbers and the Cajun chicken/shrimp pasta that was suggested by the waitress. The bobbers were fried to perfection and the pasta was delicious. Overall a great date night spot. read more

I've wanted to visit this Nixa eatery since last Spring due to the extensive outdoor seating but only had the opportunity tonight in the dead of Winter. A very nice stone exterior contains a pleasant ambiance of music, stone accents, a fireplace, ample large windows, wooden beams & floors. The kitchen separates the pub & dining room so you can easily eat in either. We were seated quickly by a friendly, efficient waitress at a smallish yet comfortable booth while presenting menus & making us feel welcomed. Our drink & appetizer orders were promptly taken & processed by the bar & kitchen. After receiving these, we ordered our entrees. We sampled both the deliciously creamy Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab Dip & the generously proportioned Gator Bites which were more like tenders than the small wads of gator tail with more batter than meat found in better known "Cajun" restaurants in Springfield. While the seasoning was a tad light, these were closer in size to the New Orleans gator we used to feast on. Our margaritas were surprisingly tasty & refreshing. Our dinners consisted of The Shrimp Trio Combo, "The Skipper" (seared Grouper & sautéed Shrimp atop Wild Rice with Lemon Butter Sauce) & The Cajun Pasta with Blackened Chicken & Shrimp - all eaten with gusto! The waitress enticed us with dessert, succumbing to two pieces of Key Lime Pie & an order of Beignets. The pie was weak & the beignets decent. The pie & the largely broken chips with the dip gave me slight angst about my rating. I honestly feel DB&G deserves better than a "good" rating but it's not quite "great" - a merger would be perfect (Grood?). Maybe "hidden gem" is sufficient. If you like nearly great food in a very pleasant environment with excellent service at reasonable prices, this is your spot. read more

Gator bites were great. I had the bourbon salmon. It was wonderful. My wife got the Cajun boil. Little bland for a Cajun boil. Recommend them to use zaterans liquid crab boil. The service was ok. Wish they were a little more attentive. I would have liked another beer. I'm sure my wife would have liked another drink as well. Food five stars. Service 4. read more

Went there for lunch, the portions were good size and they had a nice selection of seafood.

We were visiting from the KC Metro and had our dog with us, so we opted for carryout. I have to say the Coconut Shrimp was excellent. They were cooked perfectly. Unfortunately they forgot to include my second side. My husband had the cajun pasta, while it was excellent, it didn't have much Cajun spices. We ordered stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, they were pathetic: their circumference was the size of a quarter, there was only 6, and they were overcooked. They were definitely a rip-off at $12. They also didn't include any plastic silverware. While I loved the shrimp, the rest was definitely a let-down. We won't be going back next time we are in town. read more

Food was cold. Not enough staff. Could have been the reason why. So much emphasis on the decor but not enough on getting the food right. Disappointing. read more

Love the food here! Service is amazing and quick. I love the decorations inside. The food comes out on a robot which is very cool since no where in Nixa/Ozark area has anything like that read more

Surprisingly good! Stuffed mushrooms and shrimp were awesome. Would highly recommend also coming for their karaoke night. Good pub atmosphere but also very family friendly and reasonable menu. read more

Catfish was excellent, Salmon was just OK. We had great service and would visit again if ever in this area.

Great food, good service great priced lunchtime menu , you won't go wrong with anyone the items. Simply the best deep fried Green Beans Ever. read more

Service was really good, the ambiance is great. The first time we ate there we had a salad and it was really good. The next time we started with gator bites that were super tough and didn't taste good. I had the shrimp trio but it was over cooked my wife had fish and chips and said she has no desire to go back.....neither do I. It's a shame because they place has great potential. read more

First time visit and it did not disappoint! Please support this business! The server was very friendly and the dinner experience was fantastic! read more

We were there for lunch. The food was great and the service was too. Wonderful service by a very cheerful waitress!! Lunch was very reasonable priced also. Will definitely go again!!! read more

This place is amazing!! Amber did a great job recommending food and drinks for our first time visiting! She took great care of us!!! The drinks were delicious! The food is different in an amazing way - from "bayou to the gulf coast". We had boudin balls, grouper, and shrimp. Everything is well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is a fun, eclectic blend of steam punk and nautical with some nostalgic movie memorabilia. We cannot wait to come back! read more

Me and my family came here for lunch and we got the 10 dollar lunch. The decor and music was my cup of tea. The food was really good and so was the service. They are very nice here. If you're in town come here! read more

Food, price, and selection were all good. The waitress and the restaurant's atmosphere added to our enjoyment of the meal...

After living in VA for 40 years I don't expect world class fish/seafood here, but with them having 2 more restaurants at the lake I had hoped this would be decent! We were the 2nd couple in there and my wife ordered the pan seared grouper with shrimp topping on rice with broccoli. I ordered the Captain's Catch platter with shrimp, catfish, and clam strips. He brought her a grouper sandwich and tried to tell her that was the only way they do it. She got the menu and showed it to him and I told him to take it back. On my platter they shorted me the clam strips completely, and when I pointed this out, he took off for the kitchen without a word of apology or anything, By the time they got my wife's dinner out, I was finished and had to sit and watch her eat. The waiter was obviously mad and we didn't see him again until time for the check. The food was edible, just mediocre, and a big disappointment. Needless to say, we won't go back! read more

absolutely, by far the worst food in the Nixa area. Don't waste your money. the service was below par too. there wasnt anyone there when we went in, there was a couple that went in before us, then my husband and I. we were greeted, then seated after the first couple, which was just fine. after we were seated our drink order was take.. so far so good.. we are sitting there, sitting there, waiting and another party come In. they were seated behind us. the waitress knew him it seamed.. judging by the conversation he worked there. the waitress took his drink order, then went to the first table that came I. right before us and took them their food.. by this time we had been sitting there for about 45 minutes. the waitress leaves the first party that came in right before us and walks right up to the man's table who was seated after us and takes his order. we had. we. waiting for 45 FOURTY FIVE MINUTES.. nothing!! after taking his order she walks by our table, YES by our table.. she comes back about 5 minutes later and I said why, with three tables have you had us sitting here for 45 minutes and the. Take the order of the table behind us when they came in after us. Her reply was because when I brought them thier drinks they were ready to order.. I said we have been ready for 30 THIRTY minutes. No apology, nothing. the table behind us, like I said was someone that worked there she frequented his table while he rudely sang loudly and whistled to the music ( off tune I might add) If I am going to spend $75 for my dinner I want to unwind and sit in a nice atmosphere not in an atmosphere that is obnoxious! They laughed and cut up while she made him deals on his order.. "I can do that for $7.00.." and I'll add this to your order for free -giggle giggle.. the longer I sat there the more upsetting it was. The Food was another disappointment. The potato issalad was absolutely gross! It was Warm and soaked in Ranch dressing!? NASTY! The cole slaw tasted like it soured and the beef burned ends were not even eatable. What a huge thumbs down!! they will NOT last must lI get.. THAT I can and would bet on! read more
