LOVE LOVE LOVE this local bar in Algiers. Made it our stop in spot every evening of our trip in New Orleans. Don't let the casual look of this bar stop you from ordering the food here. It is made with LOVE and you can taste that love in each bite. One of the best French Dips I have ever had, the Au Jus was devine. The bartender and the company was top notch. Drinks are excellent and well priced. This will definitely become our go to spot every time we come visit our son and his family. read more

Stopping for a drink, sure... eating here, not so much. The jambalaya was like soup. I was horribly grossed out. My friend wasn't a fan of her red beans either. read more

2nd time visiting Dry Dock Cafe. The bartender takes care of everything, including the bar patrons and dining rooms. He did a great job. Recommend taking the short ferry ride to explore quieter spots and learn about the locals. read more

We found ourselves feeling a little hungry after taking a walk through the swamp about 15 minutes from the cafe, and popped into this quaint little establishment for lunch while exploring the greater New Orleans area. Our plan was to park the car, grab some lunch, then take the ferry across the Mississippi to the city. The Cafe is less than 100 meters from the ferry terminal, and the plan was to take it across ($2 for adults each way, kids free under a certain age) and explore the French Quarter. Street parking is limited, but there is a pay lot for ferry traffic that was reasonable. Unfortunately, the ferry was closed that Monday due to high winds. Still, our visit was not a loss, as we had a chance to try the Dry Dock Cafe. The wife and I split a catfish and shrimp platter, and the kiddo had a grilled cheese. Portions were plenty big, and the service was great. They also make a decent Bloody Mary, if you are in the mood. This is a solid spot, especially if you are able to combine it in with a ferry trip. read more

We decided to finally take the ferry across to check out Algiers Point and Dry Dock Cafe did not disappoint. If you like an older establishment that's part of the local scene, this is it especially in decor and overall vibes. We ordered the Alligator sausage, catfish fingers, red beans and rice with sausage and this was hands down one of the best meals we have ever eaten. My husband loves alligator and he said it was the best he ever had. I didn't think it was gamey and I can be picky about it. The catfish was so tender and tartar sauce with it so light and rich. The red beans and rice were flavorful without feeling heavy with sodium. Even the bread to go with it was delicious and I don't usually like bread. IPA on tap also refreshing and good compliment. Definitely worth the trip along, and it was easy to cross the ferry at $2 per person each way, especially with prices being very reasonable and wait staff friendly. read more

Really fun local spot! Great service! Very friendly! Lizzy is a great bar tender and makes the best drinks

We went to watch a game. And we were greeted by a nice bar tender the staff seemed nice. The chairs and tables were very out of wack and almost coming apart. Basic bar we just had shots and cold drinks all good Po boys and catfish platters and everything was pretty good basic local style food no complaints at all Good local bar/cafe but need to clean better and fix any broken chairs and tables read more

Food was ok, nothing to brag about. Waiting for 35 minutes was kind of long when there weren't many customers. Location is very convenient for anyone taking the ferry and wants to grab something before or after taking the ferry. read more

A chill, casual sports bar in Algiers Point. My friend and I stopped here mainly to grab a cold water bottle and to use their restroom. I believe it was the owner or manager that served us, didn't catch his name, but he was pleasant and helpful. Their restroom was fairly clean except there was no soap, so I had to use hand sanitizer. Their food menu looked good, just that my friend and I weren't hungry as we had ate prior to coming here and going on the ferry to visit Algiers Point, so we didn't order any food on our visit. read more

Solid neighborhood bar. Outside seating makes for a cold one if you've crossed over on the ferry. Descent burgers and food. My favorite is the club sandwich and a side of slaw. Just like what June and the girls would get at the Country club while Jerry and his buddies tee off. Specials listed on a giant ass board, you may spot a few locals hanging out and the staff is always more than pleasant. And if you wanna be cool like me order the club no membership required, lol. read more

Dry Dock Cafe - Grabbing burgers - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is probably the first place you'll see stepping off the Canal Street - Algiers Ferry, so it gets plenty of traffic from folks coming over for the day. Dry Dock is good enough as long as you bring the right expectations. The place is half bar half cafe, and they offer what you'd expect; Various fried seafood plates, hamburgers, po-boys, etc. I had a shrimp po-boy that was tasty enough, and honestly better than my first impressions of the bar interior. Also, it's worth noting that they have fairly late hours compared to other places in the area. It's a great spot for a greasy plate, and a few cold beers read more

Delicious!! We had the catfish on a bun with a cup of the shrimp and corn bisque, and the bread pudding for dessert. Everything was served quickly (less than 5-10 minutes from the time we ordered to when we got our food. We finished our food within 30 minutes of getting here!) and the staff are super friendly. The bread pudding had whiskey and peach pieces in it -- one of the best we've ever had. Highly recommend!! read more

Food was ok, we had a club sandwich. The onion rings were pretty good though. Service was ok.

This place has been here as long as I can remember. I love all the life preservers hanging on the walls Some of them even have names on them from the boats they came from. I have always had a good lunch here. I really enjoy the sweet potato fries. There are tables and chairs outside where you can sit with your dogs. I see bowls for water for your faithful companions read more

Took a ferry ride to kill some time across to Algiers Point. While there yelped places to eat and their were 2. Decided to not have pizza so choice #1 was this place. As we were about to enter we asked the exiting family ( with little ones) how was the food. They said it was great so in we went. Small hometown sports bar vibe, seated quickly, and it never stopped. Service was quick, lots of suggestions from waitstaff, even got a visit from Chef Sam who share his secret to the bread pudding. And it wasn't the whiskey cause he showed us the bottle. So much fun and the food was great. A great find on a whim!!! read more

Dylan is so down to earth and patient with me and my indecisiveness lol . Yall go see him !

Okay place but be aware of what you order! I ordered the Catfish Fingers that came atop a bed of fries, I thought I ordered catfish but what I got was breading, seriously, the catfish that came inside the breading was no thicker than a piece of paper, god I was so disappointed, I had had ENOUGH breading while I was in the Big Easy! read more

Excellent service. A wonderful lobster bisque dish in general and nice comfortable venue.

Cute little place by the Ferry dock. Food was good but the service wasn't all that. Seemed like they were more interested in the locals than the guests... read more

It's a pretty basic place that's not crazy expensive. No frills. Gets the job done. The wings are fine but there are only 6 in an order. Everything tasted perfectly fine but nothing to write home about. read more

Cool neighborhood bar at the foot of the Westbank ferry landing. Depends on what you order could be pricey for the portion. But an understuffed fried oyster PoBoy was $19, even the French bread appeared to be slim in size than what I grew up w/at other restaurants. I don't feel it's a tourist trap, but it's probably shrinkflation. read more

Excellent food and drinks in a nice setting next to the Algiers Point ferry terminal. I had the wings and a draft beer. Both were excellent followed off by home made carrot cake. Most highly recommended. read more

I should have come here the first day of my vacation instead of the last day. The food was fresh and delicious! I ordered the gluten free catfish dinner. OMG....the catfish was flakey and moist and the hush puppies were sweet and so good. I was upset with myself for not coming here sooner. It's right by the Algiers Point ferry, not expensive and a great place to chill. read more

Dry Dock Cafe - Restaurant--white house left of the sign. - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Hit and miss for sure, we have listened to the locals. There were 3 of us- they do not separate checks, so heads up there. One ordered hamburger steak, brown gravy with onions and mushrooms, mashed potatoes- yum! Better than expected. One ordered bacon cheeseburger and fries- safe order. I ordered catfish fingers with a salad. Not good. The catfish was mushy and fell apart, some bites were fishy. Tasted like the bottom of the river. The waitress did take $4 off for us. The beer selection is limited- bottles more than taps. Probably first and last time. read more

Wonderful experience, as always. Excellent service. Get the catfish fingers. Great place to watch a Saints game.

Went walking through the point with a group of friends today and after visiting the pop up market nearby, figured it was a good time for a walking beer. Went inside for what I thought might be a 60 second interaction but left after the two guys ahead of me, visually impatient, watched the bartender slowly make three bloody Mary's from scratch. What, no pre batched mix on a Sunday morning?? Walked out until they completed their transaction. Still thirsty, I went back in, knowing that I wanted just a can of beer to go. SIX DOLLARS. For a locally brewed beer. Pretty shocked at the sticker price, and wouldn't have expected that for such a divey location. I'll pass by next time and save it for somewhere else. read more

I first went to the Dry Dock in 1991. It was this amazing local pub geared strictly for the locals, the people working the shipyard. I've enjoyed many a pint there, over the years. Fast forward to last weekend. It's a sports bar. All the character is gone, covered up with televisions and football paraphernalia. Fine, if that is what you're after. But not for me. Not anymore. If I want to go to a sports bar, I'll find a Buffalo Wild Wings. read more

This is a classic bar and grill type place. Very good food and fun laid back atmosphere. I got the fried catfish po-boy, which I would definitely recommend! Paired with a nice local Canebreak beer, this meal was on point, literally! Algiers point is right out the window, so you can enjoy a nice view of the river and downtown. You can even ride the ferry over to the French Quarter if you want to continue your fun-filled evening. One more perk about this place: their fried catfish and hush puppies are gluten free, since it is all fried in corn flour. This was a major bonus for our family, as we have some gluten-free members. Dry Dock is a solid choice for anyone who wants good food and a good time. read more

Decent! Food was good! Just a bit pricey. And service was slow...but it is more of a bar/lounge feel so that makes snese

Stopped in before going over on the ferry. Had a catfish po-boy and it was delicious. The kids had the catfish and fries and loved it. My husband had the pork chop special with mashed potatoes and was impressed they were real mashed potatoes. He said the pork chops were really tender. read more

The food was what I expected from a local cafe. The food was really good and not overly priced like the other side of the river. Service was just ok since we were one of the few people in the cafe. I would have thought they would have checked on us more often but it didn't bother me that much. It is a small cafe with a hometown vibe that I really enjoyed. read more

Dry Dock is a total dive bar, but a pretty nice air conditioned place to stop for a water and soda before you catch the ferry back across. The service is small town and friendly, and while it's expensive enough to make you laugh ($3 for a fountain soda) it's the only game in town when you're waiting for the ferry. And an absolute step up from sitting inside the terminal. All in all I'd drop in again, and probably try the food next time. read more

Great place to escape the French Quarter madness. Clean honest bar-cafe. Take the ferry across the river. Shrimp Pasta was a great lunch. Service was fast and friendly. I'd go back in a minute. Plus a cheap ferry boat ride! read more

This place feels like home to me. I've been here plenty times before and it's always soooo good. My poboy was outstanding, French fries were golden with a little tony's. The red beans and rice had perfect texture just no seasoning. The service was great Didn't order any adult beverages this time but when we do, we get a Long Island iced tea to honor Mamaw who use to frequent here. read more
