The atmosphere and service (Jake) were outstanding! The vibe on a summer day was excellent. We had a beer on the patio while awaiting a table then we had a fun, excellent lunch inside. This is not a five star restaurant but that isn't what we wanted here. We wanted an excellent t lunch at a good value in a fun atmosphere; that is exactly what we experienced and it exceeded our expectations! We will return and bring friends with us! Thank you!!! read more

I'm not sure how there wait time works. I asked for stable for 2 outside. I was told 20 min. A few minutes later a bigger party was sat outside I asked and she said there was a wait list but there was no one waiting that I could see. Again about 5 minutes later a bigger party was sat outdoors . Again I saw no one waiting . It seemed that the hostess was waiting for a table for 2 to open up so we would not take a bigger table. We sat at the bar, the bartender was great and the food was good. The prices were reasonable read more

All I can say is WOW! What a wonderful experience this was! From sitting outside on a beautiful summer day next to the water. To our amazing server, Alicia We started with Chicago style oysters, which we very good. I had Lobster Bisque soup and their Drunkin Shrimp , one of the best shrimp dishes I have ever had. They are right, this is way more than an appetizer. The sauce is absolutely amazing and the freshly cooked focaccia bread dipped in the sauce was so yummy! Hubby had the Lobster Ravioli, he said the sauce was really good as were the ravioli. read more

My hubby and I stopped in for a quick bite and a few drinks before heading to a game on a Saturday afternoon. This place is always busy, and were told the wait would be about an hour and a half. Thankfully, my husband kept an eye on the bar area and managed to grab a seat as soon as one opened up. A second seat became available shortly after, so we were both able to settle in at the bar. Once seated, service was quick and friendly. Our drinks arrived promptly, and we were able to place our food order right away. We enjoyed chatting with other patrons while soaking in the cool breeze, great atmosphere, and delicious food and drinks. The drunken shrimp were absolutely outstanding -- definitely something I'll be ordering again on our next visit. read more

Great spot insofar as view, good drinks, and good food. We were looking for real estate in the area and stumbled upon this place, which made us want to find a house on the lake nearby even more. They ought to build a dock for the boaters to stop by, although that might made it harder to find a table (we had to wait an acceptable 30 minutes). Live music would also be a nice add - throw a playground on the adjacent space and you'd never be able to find a table here without a much longer wait. read more

The best steak sandwich in the area. Value is there . Fast and friendly service. Clam Chowder doesn't get any better. read more

Great service! We loved the fish sandwiches. Perfectly crispy and it's huge. I took half home for dinner. We were all very happy!

Food: clam chowder, drunken shrimp for appetizers were excellent. Shrimp and grits were very good, but rather small portion for $19.95. Whale Fredo with side salad usual like everywhere. Cobb salad was nice portion and fully loaded. Service was very good by Tyler. Ambiance very relaxing by the lake al fresco. Definitely would go back, try something different. read more

Everything is fresh and delicious I give 5 stars!! Great atmosphere friendly staff. Just a great seafood restaurant!

As a local, I've eaten at Moby Dicky's more times than I can count--and I've tried just about everything on the menu. Let me tell you: nothing is bad. Seriously. From the lobster bisque and drunken shrimp to the crab legs and catfish, every dish is fresh, flavorful, and consistently well-prepared. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with lake views that make the patio a perfect spot on a nice day. Service is always friendly and attentive, even when they're slammed (which they often are--it's that good). Yes, parking can be tight and there's usually a wait on weekends, but it's 100% worth it. If you're craving seafood in Sumner County, this is the spot. Moby Dicky's has earned its place as a local favorite--and it keeps earning it every time I go back. read more

Their food was yummy and the vibe was nice! I would definitely come back again. It was a bit cold and they had shades down so I couldn't see the lake but during the summer I'm sure it would be a good place to hang out read more

Cyndi and I ordered filet it was perfect temp. Actually melted in our mouths. Baked potato was smoking hot. Bacon wrapped asparagus delicious. Key Lime pie with gram cracker crust was excellent. Dickey's wait staff are true professionals! Moby's pricing is very reasonable. This Hendersonville establishment is one of the great ones and perfect for dating or special family celebrations. Thanks for following your elite Yelper Ronnie. read more

I came here back in May when visiting a friend. The meal was delicious and I am so happy I discovered it through her. I got the hot chicken sliders with fries and the pasta salad. The table also split the Chicago Style Oysters. The pasta salad has a ginger dressing on it, which makes it really unique. Everything was incredible and I had been dreaming about Moby Dicky's since we left. A few weeks ago, I had another trip to Nashville planned with my brother and knew we had to stop there on our drive in. We got there around 6:20 pm and there was already a 50 minute wait. I told him that it would be worth it. We only waited about 25 minutes and were served quickly. I had to stay loyal to the hot chicken sliders, fries, and pasta salad. My brother and I split the egg rolls, which were gone in a matter of minutes. I didn't have anything to drink since I was driving but I made sure my brother tried a Bushwacker. He really liked it. I had a tropical blue drink when I visited in May and liked it. They had their holiday drink menu still up and those festive drinks looked pretty good too. Our service was great and Moby Dicky's is a very friendly atmosphere. I hope to return next time I am in Nashville! read more

First saw Moby Dicky's two years ago on my way to the Highland games at Sanders ferry Park. They had a sign out front that said mahi tacos, which I adore. Took two years for me to get there, but finally went this past weekend. I absolutely LOVE the vibe of this place. It has a beach vibe, being ON the lake with the open back to the patio and Adirondack chairs facing out at the water. With the garage doors open to the patio it can be muggy and warm. But that's part of the beachy vibe. They totally play my kind of late 60s to early 80s music. The bar chairs look wide and comfy, although I didn't sit on one. We ordered the calamari, the Parmesan Panko, flounder and, two tacos, one grilled shrimp and one fried grouper. Having grown up relatively close to the beach I was used to fresh seafood, which is naturally lacking in landlocked Tennessee, and so, can any seafood REALLY be fresh here? That being said, I wasn't disappointed and I HAD noticed a post on their Facebook hiring a cook. But, the shrimp were over cooked and the calamari very small and dry. Hub loved his flounder. It was nicely cooked and the fried grouper was great. The staff was attentive and friendly. I'd hoped for a mojito but they had no mint or mint syrup. (I may just start carrying mint oil/extract as many places don't have mint). Vibe /atmosphere 9 Staff 8 Food 7 I WILL go back-probably soon, as I wanted to just hang out there all day and I will hope that the additional kitchen hire will improve the seafood. read more

Service was great and the food even better. We had a short wait and got to sit outside in rocking chairs overlooking Old Hickory Lake. I recommend the oysters on the half shell and the filet. read more

We will be repeat customers! Bartender was so great. The espresso martini hit the spot today. My love had the bloody...while I'm not a fan of zingzang (pretty much industry standard in these parts) & a WI bloody snob; they set themselves apart and used a really tasty celery salt/old bay mix on the rim. And they garnished which doesn't happen often. Points for that! The food was so awesome. We had: Chicago style oysters topped with fresh horseradish YUM The perfect bowl of clam chowder DELICIOUS Blackened Grouper Sandwich FRESH n TASTY And the yacht rock playlist. read more

What a beautiful hidden spot in Hendersonville. The wait was longer than I wanted, so I parked at the bar. I ordered the hush puppies- they were fine. A bit on the sweet side. Grilled romaine was good, but a bit on the small side. The chowder was delicious. I would definitely go back and try many different things! read more

Good atmosphere, relaxing, and good burger. I took my granddaughter here for something different.

Everyone in our party really enjoyed their meal. Someone said it was the best fish & chips they've ever had! My favorite was the lobster bisque. The atmosphere is also great, love feeling like I'm at the beach. Just be aware that this place gets packed for dinner and there might be a long wait. read more

Really enjoyed Moby Dicky's for a Saturday Hendersonville lunch. We walked in right at lunch time. There was a bit of a wait but it ended up being shorter than quoted. We had no problem waiting in the chairs facing the water! It was a nice view! We were seated outside, it was a brutally hot day but the covered patio is comfortable with the fans & shade! We enjoyed our food! The blackened salmon wrap with avocado is so good! I especially loved the ginger dressing on the pasta salad too! Our server was great! She was very attentive, efficient, and friendly! She kept up well with refills & gave us status updates on our food! Prices are a little steep, but that's to be expected for the area. This was a great lunch & we'd def come back! read more

This is a really cool neighborhood restaurant with great food. It reminds me of a cool fish spot in a coastal community bc it is off one of the lakes. I had fried cat fish and clam chowder with Brussel sprouts. All was well prepared and tasty. My friend had crab cakes and garlic bread. The servers were really nice and the food came fast. The decor is definitely Christmas themed and great for photos. They have a great menu and I can't wait to come back and try the other options. read more

This place is amazing! The service was friendly and helpful. We came for lunch on a Wednesday. We were seated outside and had a beautiful view of the river. The weather was perfect and the entire place was decorated for Halloween. We ordered the Drunkin Shrimp appetizer and it was so yummy! I highly recommend getting it! We got drinks and they were perfect as well! I appreciated the Mai Tai on the menu. For our main meals, we got the chicken sliders and mahi mahi. Both meals were great. I did get a side of brussel sprouts and those weren't great. I'd get a different side next time. They just looked like sad little brussels. Our afternoon here was perfect and we took a walk on the pathway next to the river after lunch. It was a perfect experience! read more

Went for the first time. Have heard nothing but good reviews so decided to try. Was not disappointed and will be back. Tried one of the Soecials.. never had Cobia before. It was delicious. A Grilled white fish with a cream sauce and capers. My husband had the scallops and said they were great. The menu is large and can't wait to go back to try something else.

We arrived at 8pm, an hour before closing. They said there was an hour wait to be seated but assured us we would have plenty of time to eat before they closed. We added our name and number to the list and decided to go for a walk on the path along the water behind the restaurant for a little bit before realizing there were open lounge seats available on their outdoor patio. We asked if we could sit there until our table was ready and they were so friendly to explain that yes that was absolutely fine. We relaxed in the lounge, chairs for a few minutes and then a very friendly gentleman (staff/owner/manager) came to personally seat us at an available table and he even pulled out the chair for me. I was surprised and really appreciated that. You don't see that anymore these days. In total we only waited 20 min for our table. It took a little for our waitress to greet us but we didn't mind because they were busy and at least we got to our table. Our waitress was very friendly and complementary. I had the grouper sandwich which was called "Moby Dick" this sandwich was huge, and it came with crinkle cut fries which were delicious. My husband got the grouper platter, chargrilled with a side of asparagus. Both of our meals were very good. The grouper sandwich was so big that I couldn't finish it all. The atmosphere was nice, casual, & clean. The ladies room was clean. If we are ever back in this area we will be sure to visit. read more

Such a hidden treasure! Food was SO fresh, hot and excellent quality. We both were craving fish, and being landlocked in TN it's always a questionable craving. Not tonight!
