“ First time going, will not be the last. One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time. Enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. I'm sorry I didn't come here sooner. It was newly renovated and beautiful. ”
“ Just good food! Great service. We just did a walk in and we were able to sit at the bar. It was perfect for us but I would recommend making a reservation a few weeks in advance if you prefer a traditional seating. Service was excellent. There is a reason they have been around for so long. Don’t miss this restaurant when staying in Atlantic City. ”

“ Dock’s is my and my honey’s must stop for happy hour date whenever I am in Atlantic City. They have an amazing happy hour that’s guaranteed to leave you satisfied from great food and amazing cocktails. Chef Stephan and the other chefs can be seen in the kitchen turning out their culinary creations which always taste as good as they look. Sean, my preferred mixologist, makes a mean cocktail; every one I’ve tried during my multiple visits have been A. Stop by check them out the next time you’re in AC! ”
“ Slightly terrified because we thought there was only street parking upon arrival! Turns out they have a whole lot so you don’t have to go far! Start out with amazing cocktails of course I have to get a dirty martini my go to, delicious! We then had some Clams Casino, but the star for me was definitely the New England clam chowder! For dinner, my date had a fried shrimp with french fries which he enjoyed and I had lobster! Very tasty. The ambience is absolutely exquisite inside with old world, light fixtures, and artwork must visit if your in the Atlantic city area! ”
“ Had dinner at Doc’s Oyster House and everything was just so good. I had the shrimp and salmon risotto, my mom got the lobster roll, and we both started with the lobster bisque, both were soo delicious. You can tell everything was fresh. They also have a really nice wine list, which was a pleasant surprise. The vibe was relaxed and the service was on point, friendly without being overbearing. Just an all-around great spot. We’ll definitely be back. ”
“ Really well done food. Quality ingredients. They seam the experience well of happy hour and cocktails. It is such an amazing deal for what they offer food wise. Obviously they want you to have a few drinks because that helps a lot! But I could not say no. Great experience and a pleasure meeting the chef. We drove 7 hours from North Carolina to come and try the food. I will definitely be back in the future! So focused on the food, forgot to take photos! Haha. Great time and I’m sure you’ll like it if you stop by! Their mise en place must be fantastic, the food comes out lightning fast. You won’t be disappointed. ”
“ Adding yet another review to the thousands of 5 star reviews for Dock’s. Nothing to say that hasn’t already been said. This place has been open forever. I think since like 1897. It’s literally amazing. The oysters are on point. The food is incredible. The service is very helpful and professional. Great atmosphere with live piano music. Great happy hour. Endorsed by Anthony Bourdain. I try to come here every time I’m in AC. ”
