We came here for the grouper and it was good. My wife got the grouper sandwich and it was very good, my fried combo plate was also very good.

We've been to Dockside Dave's several times in the past at their old locations and have always enjoyed the food. This time we visited their new Madeira Beach spot and were really disappointed. The first issue was getting in: we were told we'd have a 1/2 hour wait, but it took an hour and a half to get us in.... more
