So I was in Port Washington for work, and noticed this little deli sitting in a strip mall right off the marina. The location could not be anymore picturesque. The interior is simple, pretty much exactly what you'd expect a deli to look like. The seating is good for singles and small groups. They're also seemed to be a basement area, but I have yet to explore it. The food was top notch. I've had a few sandwiches from there of the Italian heavy on the meat variety, and they've all been delicious. They're are plenty of sides (pasta, potato and another type of salad I've forgotten) and little snacks and desserts to go with your meal. The staff is friendly and respectful, and your food comes fast. This place is quickly becoming my go to lunch spot when in Port Washington. read more

Careless staff maybe deaf or maybe just not thrilled about working there, but the orders aren't being put down correctly and this is my second time here. Good ingredients and mediocre selection . Prices are a little higher than what they should be. When you finally get your order they set it in a 3'x3' section of counter that is also where you supposed to add your condiments . meanwhile people are pushing to pick up their trays from the same little area. My Lord and put some damn yellow jacket traps out and spray , not just a cup of dish soap mountain dew. View was great though. read more

I've basically estate every meal here on my two day trip. Everything has been wonderful and the place is a little piece of heaven. Such a wonderful location as well. The even have beer if you just want to kick back and watch the harbor. Another great indicator is that at my working lunch yesterday the business I was visiting got sandwiches from Dockside. Every touch is so welcoming - the staff, the flowers, the inside ambience, the deck tables, even the music.... read more

Dockside Deli - Breakfast view! So relaxing... - Delis Near Me - Port Washington, Wisconsin

Moved to the area at the beginning of March and this was the first place we stopped to get a bite to eat the day after moving in. We sat down for lunch, my husband, daughter and I, and it was a great experience for us all. The food was delicious (our 1 yr old ate her entire plate, which rarely happens) and the Atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The staff were polite, patient, and courteous. The tables, floor and bathroom were clean. The view out to the harbor and lake were incredible. I could tell a lot of the other patrons were regulars, which is fantastic since it means this deli is a local favorite. We loved it so much, we've come back for breakfast a few more times. read more

Dockside deli is the best. I have eaten here for over 6 years. Everything is from scratch and always fresh. From the omelets at breakfast with just about anything you want added to the sandwiches and soups. My favorite, as well as my entire family, is the 3 cheese grill cheese on sourdough! Match that with a cup of homemade soup and you have the dream meal. If this doesn't fill you up then you must have one of the wide selection of desserts. I think I have had them all over the years. Whenever you are in Port Washington it is a must stop. read more

This place is great. Be prepared to wait as this place can get busy. You should defintely check it out though. read more

Dockside Deli - Lines can get long so stay patient! - Delis Near Me - Port Washington, Wisconsin

Not worth the money!!! Portion size was shocking! $7.95 for a extra small sandwich. I ordered the #8 smokestack. It had zero flavor, Dijon mustard was also substandard! Gouda cheese was more like a cheap American cheese food! Ugh! "Smoked" turkey was maybe 1.5ozs and the "smoked"ham was maybe 1.oz. And they both had the flavor of cheap Walmart lunch meat! Seriously... can't believe this place! The rye bread was dried out too! I should've complained while I was there. I'm my opinion this place is a mom and pop shop! All related family working here. Don't be fooled by the lake view! Cashier was ok. read more

I was here for breakfast. I ordered a sweet roll, the server dropped it upside down on the counter and tried to serve it, I told her give me another one please. So I had breakfast and sat outside watching the boaters and had to listen to music from the 1940s....This place plays the 40s channel there...It gave me a headache, so I went inside and asked if they could change the station. A woman behind the counter said they always play music from the 1940s on Sunday morning but they change it at 11am.....I'm there for breakfast at 7:30...She can't change the station for a paying customer who asked her nicely ? So much for good customer service. Please tell me who the Hell wants to listen to music from the 1940's while trying to have breakfast..We are Not all in our 80-90's ,,,I find that So Rude !! But then they didn't seem smart !!! Good Restraunts respects their customers but not this place !!!! read more

Why do I come to Dock Side Deli? Let me count the reasons. In no order of importance. 1. Great assortment of coffees. My favor is macadamia nut chocolate. 2. Great assortment of coffee creamers. My favorite is white chocolate. 3. Big slices of toast. My favorite is raisin toast followed by sour dough. 4. Great red skin potatoes. Made crispy but not burnt. 5. Two eggs over easy made with the whites cooked but with egg yoke fluid. 6. Great pastries like cinnamon rolls, bread pudding, peach bread pudding... 7. Great great atmosphere. In the summer time I sit outside next to the marina. In the winter I sit next to the windows looking out over Lake Michigan. You get to see the joggers, boaters, fish jumping out of the water. 8. And last but not least, great service. I love the people. They take such great care of me when ordering and if I have special needs. Of which based on my comments you may notice that I am a little particular about how my food is prepared. I love this place. Obviously I highly recommend Dock Side Deli. Rick read more

Excellent sandwiches, bakery fresh bread, premium meats and cheese. Special of the day is truly a special, usually not a reular menu item. Such as...Lobster rolls, outstanding!, this at a Lake Michigan view restaurant that with a little bit of imagination looks like you are at a cafe on the coast of Maine. Fresh made soups, are as great as the best homemade. Different offerings of soup daily. Bakery sweets for dessert or just with a cup of coffee are a must. Try the half sandwich and soup to save room for dessert. read more

Best breakfast spot in town. Great for lunch also. Everything is fresh! The place is clean and bright with beautiful views. Service is super and the staff is friendly. The prices are well within the market and based on the quality of food, the prices are reasonable. read more

My wife and i found this place the first time i took her to port Washington. Came inside after a cold walk out to the lighthouse. Finally came back on a sunny summer day. Good atmosphere. Busy on a Monday afternoon with a lake breeze coming in. Plenty of food for what you pay. Even my PB&J l loving 8 year old found something not PB&J to eat. I had the club and so did my wife. So yummy! I definitely plan to come back here again read more

I rate this beautiful restuant 5/5 stars because of the wonderful food with a awesome taste in every dish. They always use social distancing and the sides are just as great. And the food isn't even even too expensive. Amazing!!!!!! read more

Five us stopped in ten minutes before closing and ended up leaving because we flustered the staff so much. They stopped taking our order to lock the doors to keep any more customers from coming in. It felt hostile so we left. My advice is to stay away if it's after two pm. read more

Had the Italian hero sandwich and everything about it was delicious! The sandwich was large enough that my husband and I were able to share it and a cup of soup and feel full after. read more

the workers here were not friendly at all and it took away from my experience in this beautiful town. the workers were also wearing masks improperly or not at all. read more

As close to the marina as a deli can get without actually running the operation off of a boat (address is actually 222 E. Main Street). It sits in the corner of a little strippish type mall right next to the commercial and guest slip portion of the marina, so its great for the boating crowd and anyone else just hanging out in the marina. Soups and sandwiches are very good (clam chowder and reubens are my fav), and the pastries, especially muffins, for brekky are also good. Couple of different flavors of coffee, self serve from those pump-caraf type of containers, keeps it hot enough. Small kitchen/food prep area, sort of right out in the open behind the counter, and a small group of people working in there who really have their operation down pat. The little beepers they give out to people waiting on their orders is kind of different, and seem to work well. Gets pretty busy at lunchtime, but you can call ahead for take out. web: http://www.docksidedeli.com/index.php read more

Took a bike ride from Cedarburg through Port Washington and stopped by the Dockside Deli for lunch. Biked 26 miles but still made it a point to have our face masks in our backpack in light of the COVID-19 environment. As we parked our bikes and donned our face masks to walk in and grab a sandwich for take out to sit by the marina, we were confronted with a restaurant full of inconsiderate narcissistic restaurant patrons and WORKERS not wearing masks. Against my better better judgement, I stood in line as far apart as I could (because the establishment took no precautions whatsoever to care for the regard of their customers) and ordered food as the only patron wearing a face covering. Much to my surprise when I approached the counter to order my food, the order taker DID NOT even have a face covering. It was almost frowned upon to wear a mask. I'll never give this restaurant another dime of my business. Shame on you for lack of consideration for others... read more

I had the Reuben, surprisingly one of the best Reubens I've ever eaten. As good as anything I've had in Kosher Canyon in LA.

Unfortunately, the quality of the food has been dropping here to the point it's not at all worth the prices charged. Today I had a egg salad sandwich that was by far more bread than egg salad. I would say it contained the equivalent of one large egg. Rather pathetic. read more

The view was nice, the place was cute and clean. The food was ok. Ordered the turkey with harvatti and dill mayo. It just came with one thin price of lettuce and a heap of turkey and the cheese. The turkey seemed low end and the pickle was terrible...no chips or cole slaw. My bill was over $10.00 for the sandwich and a soda. Service was friendly but slow. The deserts looked yummy, perhaps that is what I should have ordered. On the bright side, I loved spending time with my friends! read more

Don't make the mistake of going near closing. I was wondering why the gal at the counter was rude and curt, only to then realize I ordered my to-go sandwich a few minutes before their closing time. If the doors are still open, you should be welcoming to your customers. Customer service rule #1. My sandwich order took all of 3 minutes and then I was ushered out the back door. Great location, average food. read more

I actually really liked the food here despite what my expections were. I had the veggie wrap and it was delish. The cream cheese and hummus could have been distributed more evenly but that's splittting hairs. The oven roasted turkey was also really good. The cabbage with smoked sausage soup was great - even though it just had one piece of sausage and we even got to talk to the cook who asked what we thought of it. The portions were a tad underwhelming but the taste made up for it. (Imagine child-size portions. 'Cuz that's what you're looking at...) Service was pretty darn good, however keep an eye out for the bees and wasps if you are eating outside. read more

Dockside is a great location. I often meet up with family members there to catch up. I have my favorites that I have ordered for over 8 years... breakfast, eggs, ham and cheese on multigrain bread- and for lunch, three cheese with ham on multigrain. Used to be GREAT sandwiches and I really looked forward to eating there. New owners have changed the ham-ugh! They no longer serve my favorite sandwiches with shaved ham, but use thicker cut ham-yuck. I thought maybe it was just a temporary change so tried again- same kind of yuckie ham. And the last time I had a grilled cheese (plain, because I cant stand the ham anymore), whatever they grilled it on/in was old oil. The whole sandwich had the smell and taste of a bottle of oil that you find in the back of your cabinet after it was hiding for a year. They should check the oil once in a while- or eat something themselves so they know what they are serving and how it tastes. As far as cleanliness that other reviewers have mentioned in the past, I have always found it to be mostly clean and comfortable as far as atmosphere (both old and new owners). I will still meet up with family there, but maybe not as often, and will have to search for other menu items to try. Please bring back shaved ham!!!!!!!!! read more

Staff is rude! Came in 10 minutes before close on 10/5/19. There were three people behind the counter. One person facing us but working on cleaning. One person w her side to us...and one w her back to us. I saw the 2 (not cleaning) look at us but no one turned to us or spoke to us. We wanted a cookie.. that's it. Waited a few minutes then walked out. Then 1 of them walked to the register. We could see her right as we got out the door. The staff has never been overly friendly but this is plain rude. Usually the food is very good so I gave two stars. The staff can really make or break it. Lock the door early if you plan on giving the silent treatment before close. read more

Good breakfast food, ideal location with views of the port, too many bees outside make it annoying to eat outside.

Amazing items on the menu! Garden Patch was wonderful!! The bake goods are visually irresistible and taste wonderful. Have been there twice in three days and plan to return before week's end. read more

Below average. I got the American club. The sandwich was large but comprised of low quality ingredients. The bread was low quality white that crumbled in my hand. The pickle spears were two thin circular slices of pickle. The soup was mediocre and not worth the $2.99. Everything inside was cheap. I'm genuinely confused by all the high reviews. read more

Way over priced for a deli. I guess you're paying for the view which is beautiful! Really disappointed!

New ownership has resulted in a decline in quality. Ruben sandwich was great, but now they canned the bread to a lesser quality and less meat on the sandwich. I will not be going back and I've been a regular customer for eight years! read more

I absolutely love this place when I just want a really good sandwich. I order the Sammich, but have them grill it. Super yummy.

This place rocks!! My wife and I very much enjoy the menu variety and high quality food. Out of the MANY times visiting this deli we never have had a complaint. Ticket times are fast. Staff is always friendly, restrooms and dining rooms are clean and orderly. The location is great...nothing better than enjoying a great sandwich over looking the harbor. Port Washington has a real gem with this deli. Keep up the Great work!! read more

This place is great! It is located in the heart of downtown Port Washington and sits right on the lake. Easy to walk/bike to from any area, and the porch view is beautiful. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly! As a local, I come here for lunch occasionally and have always had an outstanding experience. Highly recommend for locals and tourists alike! read more

We only shared a bowl of clam chowder but it was excellent!!! Cute place, good service and the menu sounded great.

Got the Big a Bite which is roast beef, lettuce, Swiss, horseradish mayo. It was average and could have used more mayo as I didn't taste any horseradish flavor. Might go back, might not. Really nothing special. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Port Washington. It's just great across the board. We ate breakfast there 4 out of 7 days. And the prices are so reasonable. Eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, pancakes, eggs Benedict, breakfast wrap, breakfast sandwich and all the baked goods. Never had a bad meal here and tons of straight coffee varieties. Highly recommended. read more

This is a HOT spot! you can get there by boat, bike, feet or car! It is not far from the Ozaukee Interurban Trail along Lake Michigan in Port Washington!. A very cute, shopping town with great people. The Deli is open for breakfast and lunch. "you must try the Breakfast Wrap, it's my favorite" and my lunch favorite is the Oven Roast Turkey sandwich from the grill! Yes they have hot and cold sandwiches, homemade soups, ice cream, smoothies, coffee and fresh bakery Daily!, A cute dining atmosphere inside and on the outside patio! Friendly staff, clean, and average pricing. One extra special tip.. they cater and make box lunches too... just call in your order and lunch, business meeting or party is served! It is so Good! Try it soon and see what your favorite may become! read more

The best omelet I have ever had! I had a mushroom spinach swiss cheese omelette and all the ingredients were fresh The outside of the omelet had the consistency of a crepe the inside was creamy and as I said before incredibly fresh ingredients read more

Solid place. Nice spot to grab a quick bite to eat. They've got both indoor and outdoor dining and a simple menu that'll keep just about everyone happy. Food was prepared quickly and all the sandwiches were great. Decent portion size as well. Nice view of the harbor from the back dining area. I'd certainly return. read more

Excellent sandwiches. Try the Big byte it is one of the best I ever had. Server & owner are very friendly. Also homade soup is the best. Take home by the quart. read more
