Needs Improvement by amanda a. at InsiderPages

Used to be delicious. Unfortunately this past summer the food was terrible all 3 times my boyfriend and I went. One of the times we even sat around for 30minutes before we were asked for our drink order. Also, a tad on the exspensive side.

On the up side, great location, fun bands. I hope the food is better next summer.

GROSS NEVER EATE HERE

by Bpost123 at Citysearch

I used to work there it is GROSS!! They let stuff just sit in the cooler uncovered and the refrigerator thing would just drip in to what ever was below it. (fish buckets, soup, wings ETC..) The burgers were boiled then put on the grill just for the grill marks. The wings would be green and smelly and they would still cook them. The owner is a scumbag and does not care about anything but money. Its one of the most disgusting place I have ever worked DO NOT EAT THERE

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: EVERYTHING

horrible staff, management and food

by amandalynn6 at Citysearch

We waited over 45 minutes just to order our food. The staff was very rude and condescending. After an hour and a half wait we finally got our food and it was cold and stale tasting. Please do not go to this establishment. The Buffalo area has many great options. Pass up on this one.

We were ready to just walk out without paying - that's how bad this place was. When we told the manager he refused to refund us or even say sorry. In fact he was rude and verbally assaulted us.

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: staff, food and just about everything

Tons of Fun

by alibear59 at Citysearch

I don't care what other people think, I've been to Dock at the Bay numerous times and have had a wonderful experience each time! My grandfather often drives over an hour from my hometown because he loves it so much! The bands are great, the outdoor atmosphere is breathtaking and the food (I'm a personal fan of the seafood bisque) is delicious! I'd go there and try it before I'd listen to anyone else's recommendation who didn't like it. There are always people who have bad experiences at places, and I hope that they aren't too judgemental to give it a second try if they do.

• Pros: Live Music, Atmosphere, Food
• Cons: Sometimes it rains

Soak up a great view of Lake Erie from the patio while listening to live music at this casual eatery.

horrible

by charisma17 at Citysearch

A beautiful restaurant in an awesome location, what a waste! The seafood tasted like it was frozen and the servers act like they are doing you a favor by acknowledging your presence. Poor service for mediocre food. A shame to waste such a location with this restaurant. If you go allow hours in your schedule to be noticed by your waitstaff!

• Pros: location
• Cons: service, food

BAD EXPERIENCE

by KFECHER at Citysearch

SAT FOR OVER 25 MINUTES AT OUR TABLE WITHOUT ANYONE COMING TO EVEN TAKE A DRINK ORDER. WENT TO THE BAR TO GET A DRINK AND COMPLAIN, AND NO ONE REALLY CARED. DRANK OUR DRINKS AND STILL NEVER HAD A WAITRESS COME TO THE TABLE. COMPLAINED TO THE HOSTESS AS WE WALKED OUT, AND SHE REALLY DIDN'T CARE EITHER.

• Cons: SERVICE
