Great, waterfront location on Torch Lake...great service, outside seating, burgers were great, and frieds excellent. Beverages are reasonably priced, even at non-special prices, and the waitstaff made the dining experience!

Hamburgers/cheeseburgers & beer are $2.00 each on Thirsty Thursdays. Our burgers and fries were very good. The place is jammed on Thursday, so you need to get there early for a seat. We were there on April 11th. Still tons of snow outside, so we didn't get to take advantage of the lakeside location. I'm sure it would be great... More

Love the great views as we spend time with family and friends enjoying wonderful meals out on the deck in the warm summer sun! A very enjoyable way to spend time! :-)

Great location, with a deck overlooking a waterway to Torch Lake. Before and after summer Dockside has specials on burgers and beer. For locals it's a nice hangout for a good value. Summer is busy. Try to go for an early meal.

We enjoyed a quiet lunch with good food overlooking lake. Was very quiet that day but this looks to be a fun place later in the evening.

Food is so-so but who cares? The view and setting are to die for and the bloody mary's the best I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and enjoy one or more on the incredible deck overlooking the clam river and torch lake. A must stop for anyone visiting this area.

The Dockside, as its name says, is right on the water. A great setting and ambience. it is a very popular place. A good place to get a drink or something to eat. The service is great. Very personable and attentive. Even though their busy you can joke with them and have a good time. A nice place to visit... More
