A very busy establishment, needs a makeover outdated for the times. While the seating inside is adequate, it's just some Auditorium chairs. Outside has a better vibe especially with Lakeview. Food is hot and fresh but not very tasty. Might be that they use some sort of wheat or rye which you have to become accustomed to which makes the food tastes a little more stiff.

Their food is hit or miss. Husband and I got carry out here so I can’t speak much on the service or atmosphere, but we ordered a pulled pork super burrito with no tomatoes and added sweet potato fries and torch tacos with the firecracker shrimp. Even though we ordered no tomatoes the special sauce they mention comes with it actually comes on it and it is a tomato base. With the sauce all over it not only did my husband not like it since he doesn’t like tomatoes but he couldn’t pick it up, the tortilla was totally soggy, and honestly the inside was still very bland. He was miserable, so that was a miss and should have been labeled an enchilada. The sweet potato fries were good, but the quantity to price ratio was awful, he got almost no fries and it was expensive. So that’s a half miss. My tacos were amazing, absolutely zero complaints on them, definitely a hit. The fusion slaw combined with the cojita cheese is sublime, and the firecracker shrimp was cooked to perfection. However my meal came with chips and salsa, although the salsa was pretty good the chips were like they came out of a day of old bag from the dollar store. Bad quality and stale, miss on the tortilla chips. Overall I am unsure if we would return even though the tacos were exquisite.

Amazing food, perhaps a little stingy on the servings but that’s to be expected from any restaurant in the great 2025 — or maybe I was just hungry for more! Service was fast, frequent and friendly. Lots of good options and everything on the menu was delicious. Atmosphere is the ideal lake vibes you’ll be looking for. Would, and will, go again!

A Must-Stop on Torch Lake! Dockside is a staple every time we visit Torch Lake. The food’s consistently good, the views are fantastic, and the staff never disappoints! Even when a surprise rainstorm rolls in, there’s plenty of indoor seating and fun games for both the kids and the grown-up kids. Always a great vibe and a solid choice for lakeside dining.

Mostly came for the view and was told the patio was closed. Chips and cheese was not good at all. Grocery store canned cheese would be better. Shrimp were ok. The staff was very nice. Wouldn't reccomend this place for the food and make sure the patio is open before you go.
