Dock's WaterFront

Great staff. You can sit in the open air bar area or next to the water and watch the boats come in and dock close to where you are. The food is delicious. I tried the Philly flatbread and omg it was good. My wife had the crab cake melt and it was also good. The key lime pie is great but the sea salt cheese cake is awesome. We will definitely be back to try other items.

Great service, quick food and drink turnaround, and good quality food. If you like onion rings, try them! They have a wonderful lightweight batter. We also ordered boom boom shrimp which were not very spicy, but that was a plus for me. Lastly we got the boneless wings and they were also delicious. They have have a great waterfront view if you can get a table back there.

Loved everything about our weekend trip to Tarpon Springs. Shopping, eating at different places at the Sponge Docks. Love the boats and walking along the water. Great weekend. I will definitely come again.

Nice view of the water. Good food and awesome server.
*Update* went again, they were super busy but the service was still great. Drinks were good, food wasn't as good as last time, but we still enjoyed ourselves and the view by the water.

Great view and cool atmosphere. We usually just sit at the bar and the staff has always been great. My go too place when in tarpon ❤

Five stars based on knowing what you're after . . . and if it's a waterside, low-key, Kew West kinda dive place this is it. Quick service and friendly staff. The menu is pretty solidly fried, but good quality and quantity. We had the shrimp poboy, and the fish n chips.

When in Tarpon Springs,give this restaurant a try. Park in their lot and get a deal off your bill. The food is great,We met the manager,and is a real great guy. Can't say enough about this place

Love this place! A real locals spot with great food, service and drinks. Not the best place to be a Karen, you’ll be called out😂

I take time to leave reviews if the experience is either very good or very bad. The atmosphere is definitely dive, even outdoors the waves of cigarette smoke are unavoidable, and don't plan on any craft cocktails. Oysters were fresh, but first time I've had them served without already being detached from the muscle. Would visit again, but those things stood out.
Why 5 stars? I'm a foodie and spent the past 11 years restaurant hopping in Tampa's hot spots. That being said, Stephen provided better service than most high-end restaurants I've dined at. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and just beyond helpful in every aspect that makes a dining experience enjoyable. I don't know if that's just the standards that Dock's sets for their staff, or they just got lucky with a superstar server. Either way, kudos to Stephen for being spectacular, even in miserable hot temps!

We had a beautiful dinner here, right on the water. Kayla was an excellent waitress. Coconut shrimp was delicious and the French fries were really good. We went right after the dolphin cruise. My son liked the bacon burger.

We enjoyed our dinner. The blackened shrimp were really good. Service was also great.

This was our first time here. Love the place and food was great!

Dock’s Waterfront Restaurant is an AMAZING venue. They have it all! Great people! Great food! Great views! And LIVE entertainment! What more could you ask for?!!

I always love sitting by the water and having a cocktail. This place was 5 star all the way. Thanks, Ashten, for a great experience!

We found this place while wandering the Sponge Dock area after another restaurant across the river had a 1 1/2 hour wait. I'm glad I didn't read the reviews first because we probably would have skipped it and missed out. We had a pretty large party and the service was great. Our server was attentive and nice. Food did take a little bit longer than typical but they are short staffed like the rest of the food service industry right now. Food was fantastic! The Boom Boom sauce is phenomenal! If they ever decide to bottle it, we'll order it! Oh,and the music was amazing!

Have gone here a few times and enjoyed it every time. Delicious food with many tables to sit by the water and reasonable prices. My family and I enjoy it and look forward to going there every time we visit the sponge docks.

Just great. Excellent food, good service and relaxing views. Amazingly fresh Oysters

We had the blackened grouper sandwich. The atmosphere and the ambiance was fantastic! The view was the best on the sponge docks. We have been locals for 30 plus years. This is the only place we will come. Tyson was amazing, he had given one of the best experiences we have had in a restaurant. We were here for a celebration of life. He treated us like family. We will be back soon just to see him!

Been here a few times so far, gets better every time! Last visit was for dinner. Our server Tyson was excellent.. fun and knowledgeable. Had the Mahi dinner and the crab melt. Both were great. Menu has a little bit of everything, not just seafood. Our new regular spot! Oh and great waterfront views from tables or the bar ..

First time visiting Dock's and although the food wasn't anything to rave about the service was exceptional!!!! Leah is absolutely great at what she does. Best server that I've had at restaurant in a very, very long time! Leah is polite, professional, kind, fast and bubbly! She genuinely smiled the entire time she served us and other tables. She didn't forget any of our request even though she was waiting on about 7 tables on her own! Leah was very knowledgeable about the menu and all around just awesome.
