Stopped by for lunch. The catfish and hushpuppies were good. There were a lot of flys. The bathroom was clean. Takes credit cards if your order is over $10. read more

Not bad but nothing spectacular. The ladies were very nice and the service was pretty good. The burger was okay but nothing to Yelp about. I would have prefered sitting on the porch with a Frosty Adult Beverage however the Office Space Police frown upon beer breath at noon.... I would eat here again but wouldn't go out of my way to get there. So until next time.... read more

Great place with great food! The woman working behind the bar waited on our table, she was very friendly and even gave us s map of the area we were staying in with recommendations on where to go. Two thumbs way up! read more

We decided to take the ferry over from the French Quarter. We walked around this very cool community and stumbled upon the Dry Dock. Rustic when entering, and very nice wait staff. She was very attentive and prompt. Our food was really good. The special was Shrimp Creole and it was very flavorful. The Shrimp Po-boy was good too. read more

What a dreadful ending to a wonderful trip. We walked in for breakfast on our last day in Algiers and no one said a word. We waited while the servers sat and chatted at the bar for over five minutes. So we just walked around looking for a place to sit. Only to be told by the waitress/host "you can't sit there, we have a large party coming in that reserved those tables" and then she proceeded with her conversation. So we finally found our own seats in a sticky corner and ordered the steak and egg specials. Both sets of my sister's silverware were dirty. She finally requested extra napkins and water to clean the final set her self. The food was meh, and the service was awful. Only positive was that the locals were fantastic and friendly. Won't be back, and I'm sure they want it to be that way. This is the type of place that doesn't really welcome outsiders. Kind of like a locals only spot. That was my observation and opinion. read more

Excellent shrimp and catfish poboy. Did not disappoint!! Service might be a tad slow if you're waiting for a waiter, so be sure to order your food from the bar. But the sandwiches were well worth the wait! Definitely my go to sandwich spot in NOLA! read more

Dry Dock Cafe - Just found my new go-to sandwich spot for my next trip to NOLA! The shrimp and catfish poboys were fantastic! - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Do NOT eat here! I got food poisoning 3 hours after a shrimp poboy...:(. Rancid grease---- Please, Dry Dock, change your cooking oil and use fresh products!!! read more

Tuna steak. outstanding. rice pilaf was obviously made in-house from fresh ingredients. and the mixed veg's were obviously fresh, not frozen like so many restaurants. read more

Omg. What a hidden gem! The seafood platter was delicious! The fish and those large shrimp omg omg omg! I ordered the sex on the bayou drink and it was so strong and tasty. Them I had the tamale appetizer. When I tell you those tamales melted in my mouth, you have no idea! Omg, i loved the waitstaff and the location is super cute. Definitely adding this to my favs! read more

Food is consistently good! Best catfish in town! Friendly entertaining staff! Convenient for tourists coming off the ferry with a great selection of food! read more

If I could give them zero stars, I would! Came here after an on-foot jaunt around Algiers. I liked walking around the neighborhood & the ferry was fun but this place dampened the experience. Horrible, slow, essentially non-existent service. We ordered a beer & a bowl of soup, repeat, a bowl of soup....which took an hour to get! It tasted bland & made with old ingredients, so sad! The check then took another 30 mins, it's just so sad when a local place that people should take pride in coming to would treat their patrons with such little care :( I hope they get their act together, I love local non-touristy spots & would hate to see them treat others so carelessly. I know things in the South move slower which is actually to my taste, but this was just sad & unacceptable! read more

Not sure why I keep going back, I guess wishful thinking that the food would improve? last night i ordered a shrimp Poboy and the shrimp tasted as though they were fried a second time? i mean how can you screw up fried shrimp in NOLA, and the french bread had to have been microwaved, soft and warm at first then so tough I could barely bite through it! I like the place ite historical, wish they would get a cook...how hard could that be in the city of New Orleans? Vine and Dine for me next time! read more

I've been here numerous times. The food is always okay. It's not great but okay. The service here however is awful. My wife and I took my in laws here recently and were treated as if we were imposing. It was really odd. The owner ended up taking over our table. It wasn't even busy. Last time we go here. read more

What kind of restaurant owner tells a paying customer "get your f***ing kid out of here?" The owner of the Dry Dock Cafe, that's who! The food is ok, but has declined since the previous owner, Mrs. Maureen, sold it to this POS. It is a bar and cafe, but there is a separate dining area from the bar. We have brought our children there for many years, and had no problem before this joker took over. The staff is passable, some are better than others. But that owner should never be in business. I had another experience with the owner about my handicapped mother trying to get into the restaurant. He was awful and told her if she had a problem not to come back. Never, ever again! read more

Right when you get off the fairy in Algiers Point is the Dry Dock cafe. They have a good happy hour half off. The crowd is usually a little older but the service is great. When they have parties everyone is having tons of fun and dancing. The food is really good especially for the price. You might actually wanna split some of the dishes cause they are just to big for one person. The seafood platter is made to split I think. read more

The 3rd time I have tried ... who ever is on grill needs a lesson.. completely raw meat is not medium rare... never ordering to go again read more

Dry Dock Cafe - Medium rare... learn meat temps - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Right as you get off the ferry. Had boiled and barbecue shrimp - both very good and have a bite. The gumbo was very good and would recommend to anyone. The oyster po' boy is one of the best I have had - simply made with freshly shucked oysters. read more

Poor service. we came off the ferry to get a few drinks and it seemed like the bartenders were more interested in drinking and talking to the locals. Took awhile to get our drinks. Next time we come here, I defintely wont stop at this place. read more

Restaurant doesn't separate checks. Food is pretty average. They have one vegetarian option.

The food, drinks and prices are fine. The service is consistently bad. There is no other comparable competition in the neighborhood.

this is a cool local spot. it feels like a cheers bar in that the locals all know each other and there is a definite feeling of camaraderie. tourists can get a true taste of real nola, not the touristy piece. discussions re house ghosts, saints, tigers are commonplace. yes, ghosts. every good new orleans home has a ghost. :) oh, and the food and drinks are fabulous, but it is nola, that is a given! read more

Great people, both regulars and bartenders! We had several drinks there and taught Laura the Moscow Mule. We'll be back!

Had an excellent dinner here. Fried oysters and catfish were very good ... not at all greasy or heavy. Kind of a mellow atmosphere ... would be a good place to go with a bunch of people if you're looking for someplace not too loud. read more

Upon walking in I wasn't sure if it was a seat yourself type or restaurant or if I would be seated. I informed the lady at the bar that I wanted to order and was seated. The restaurant/bar is small and a bit dated, more of a neighborhood spot. The service was fine. I wanted to try a Muffuletta being that it's one of the sandwiches New Orleans is known for. I guess I should have known by the ingredients that it wouldn't be a great choice for me, the sandwich was way to salty for me. I ate about half while there because I was starving but I couldn't bring myself to eat the other half that I took with me. If I were in area I would possibly try this place again, reasonably price, and the bbq shrimp get such great reviews I wouldn't mind trying them. read more

Went here recently to get a big meal before our 15 hour drive. The place is definitely old and run down but I kind of like it that way. The servers were all over the place and accidentally opened two tabs for us which was confusing when it came time to pay. The lemonade was not very sweet but the food was delicious. The prices are really good for the amount of food that you get. I got catfish and it came with fries, toast, hush puppies, and coleslaw. I still have leftovers and have no complaints about any of the food or the time that it took for the food to come to us. read more

I recently had lunch here and was impressed. The service was super friendly, they seem to have a lot of regulars, which is a good sign. They dont have a lunch menu and were a bit busy so the food wasn't as fast as a restaurant that caters to lunch crowds, if that makes sense. The restaurant is a bit tricky to find if you're not arriving by ferry though, just pay close attentions to the signs. The soup (gumbo and shrimp bisque) was unimpressive to be honest, I would def try a different starter. I saw alot of people ordering the bbq shrimp. However the spinach salad was phenomenal. Generous portions and all the vegetables were SUPER fresh. The red onions especially (aka bring mints), I was impressed! I added the fried shrimp on top, which was good, but I'd prob just stick to the salad next time! The salad dressing has fresh bacon bits in it, so if you dont dine on swine, I'd ask for another dressing, which they were super wiling to accommodate! Again, I was at lunch during my work day so I didnt get to enjoy their specialty or happy hour drinks, which I will be sure to next time, they seemed really popular at the surrounding tables. read more

Ate lunch here before jumping on the ferry and was happily surprised. Didn't really expect the food to be that great at this little local bar, but I ordered a salad with blackened shrimp on it and it was one of the freshest salads I've ever had in a restaurant. Fresh lettuce & spinach, fresh cut cauliflower and carrots and a great remoulade dressing. My husband got an oyster po-boy and he said it was really good (I'm allergic to oysters so I didn't get to sample). I ordered their signature drink, Sex on the Levee and it is made with a fruit syrup that was a little too sweet for me but it was a well made drink for anyone who likes them fruity. read more

I experienced really bad service here and ended up walking out. The guy who seated us told us "your waitress will be here...when she gets here." Well, when she got to us, the first thing she did was give me a hard time about asking for water with no ice. I can take a joke, but man, she was going on and on about how "you can't drink water with no ice" like she had never heard of this before. She came back with our waters, one "normal water" for my sister and one "hot water" for me. So I jokingly asked if I'm the first person who's ever ordered water with no ice here and she got this look on her face and finally demanded to know where I'm from. Like she was seriously affronted that I didn't want ice. Now I was just looking for a quick bite to eat and she'd already wasted enough of my time about the water. So I got up and left. My sister says she continued to interrogate her and kept asking where I'm from. Ok, maybe I'm a no-ice-having yuppie from California but REALLY?...get over it ma'am! My sister left too. They might be the first restaurant you see when you get off the ferry, but I recommend walking a few blocks to somewhere better. read more

I am impressed with Dry Dock. I was pleasantly surprise over how good the food was. The seafood muffaletta, which was a special that day, and it was truly amazing. All the seafood, soft shell crab, oysters, catfish and shrimp, tasted fresh and all fried perfectly, not greasy or overcooked at all. Try the cajun kettle salad, the remoulade sauce on it is fire. No gimmick here, just good traditional food. read more

Very good food. I tried the Algiers Chicken which was fried chicken with crawfish cream sauce and it came with veggies and wild rice. It was a very creative dish and I'm looking forward to trying some of their other specials. read more

Great spot that my husband and I looked into while staying at an Airbnb nearby. Friendly and speedy service! I enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. My husband and I got the seafood gumbo and roast beef and oyster po-boys. Everything was delicious!! read more

The BBQ shrimp and the steamed shrimp were very nicely done and spicy good. (Heads on). The Cajun Beef Po' Boy was good, although not spicy (and sloppy). Good fries. Draft beer. Good Service. Nice place to visit. (prices look reasonable, did not pay) Wife said red beans and rice was very good. Right off the Ferry. read more

First and foremost the need to hire more service. What service we did have was great but pretty much two people worked the whole place. I had the BBQ shrimp Po boy. It was mediocre at best. The crawfish pasta was good as well as the burger. Probably wouldn't venture out very far from this place. Area looked a little sketchy. read more

So excited for the gluten free options at this little corner bar. I had the catfish and hush puppies and they we excellent! My husband had the catfish po boy and I have no idea how he finished it, it was gigantic. Prices are good, company is good and service is excellent. Highly recommend for lunch! read more

My family and I were returning from a day at French Quarter Fest. We were hungry and the Dry Dock Cafe was on our walk to the car. The place isn't much to look at from the outside, but the reviews were pretty good, so we stopped in. We enjoyed the food and the service was pretty good too. The shrimp boy boy was delcious. The red beans and rice with sausage is tasty and a good deal. The catfish was crisp and fresh too. Is it the best food in New Orleans? No, but is it really good and not too expensive. Service was fast and friendly. We would return when in the area. read more

We had problems from the moment we walked in. I ordered a beer and it took nearly 20 minutes and it wasn't even the beer I ordered. This was not necessarily the bar staff's fault - as the keg appeared to be tricky - but we still felt a little ignored throughout the whole process. When we decided to find a place to sit and eat, it was a bit of a fend-for-yourself process. The "server" was too busy rolling silverware into napkins to acknowledge us and after 10 minutes, I had to go and ask for menus (which were shoved in my direction). When we finally ordered - I had the Crawfish Maureenica and my boyfriend had the Shrimp Scampi - we proceeded to wait 30 minutes only to be informed my boyfriend's order was never given to the kitchen. The server claimed printer problems, but the kitchen is less than 10 feet away. She apologized and offered us free beers while we waited. Another 15 minutes goes by and the food finally arrives, brought to us by the owner. She was apologetic and kind. My dish was nice, though, creamy and a little spicy. Decadent, but not bad. The scampi, however, was awful. A few of the shrimp were not cooked well and never de-veined (discovered after they were in his mouth already) and the sauce was non-existent. I asked for more sauce for him, and the owner brought it after a few minutes. However, I think she could tell all as not well (my boyfriend doesn't complain in restaurants, but it was obvious he wasn't enjoying his dish) and told us the whole meal was on her. I said she didn't have to do that, but she insisted. She said the whole debacle was embarrassing for her and wanted to do right by us. That was very sweet of her. Listen, I can usually tell when restaurant failings are the fault of the kitchen or the front of house. This was clearly a combination of the two and was disappointing. The owner was very kind to us, and I really appreciate that, and I hope her staff can take a lesson from all this. read more

This place and a wine bistro next door are the only places to eat in the area. I ended up going to Dry Dock 2 nights in a row because I was there for the marathon and needed pasta/carbs, and the wine place basically only has wine, cheese, and pizza. I guess pizza has carbs though, right? First night I got the shrimp scampi and a couple beers. Nice big serving of pasta and 5 or 6 big shrimp. Tasted pretty good but was too heavy on the butter in my opinion...when I got to the bottom of the dish, there was a pool of butter. Also, the bread was buttered with that liquid butter stuff...not really appetizing. Oh, and a glass of Stella (maybe 12 oz) was 8 bucks...don't understand that. Second night I got a cup of gumbo and the vegetarian pasta. When they say cup, they mean small cup. It was OK I guess. A couple small pieces of sausage was all that was noticeable in the soup, plus a small chunk of crab shell with the legs. No crab meat in it but I guess the shell was there for effect. The pasta was a good size portion again with a lot of fresh veggies (mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower) sauteed in white wine and...that liquid butter again. Way, way, way too much butter. I had to hold each bite up and let it drain before eating it. Maybe I just don't like butter (nah, I LOVE butter). And I ordered extra bread (carbs!) but forgot about the butter so, 4 nice chunks of bread...soaked in liquid butter. Service was not that great, to be honest. They weren't particularly busy either night, but it took a long time to do anything, even though there were quite a few staff members going in and out of the bar/kitchen area. Nobody ever asked how my meal was and, by the time I finally got my check, I was just ready to get out of there. The atmosphere was OK, juke box playing and what appear to be regular customers taking up most of the staff's attention. Not a bad place, but if I'm ever staying in Algiers Point again and go to the Dry Dock, I'll just get a burger. read more

I was really tired and drunk by the time we got here, but the Ferry ride over was nice and kind of sobered me up a bit. I didn't get seafood, though, but I did get an awesome steak. The waitstaff was quick, friendly, and the place is nice and easygoing. I'd like to go back and try the seafood the next time I am in town. read more

Visiting NO from 'up north', we stopped in on a Sunday afternoon around 5. Slow service but the oyster po' boy and fries were really good. The few people at the bar stared at us, knowing that we weren't regulars. Oh, well, the food was still good; won't be back so didn't expect to develop long term friendships. read more
