Got takeout sandwiches and soup for lunch. I got the turkey club and my husband got the special salmon BLT and clam chowder. Everything was exceptional. Dockside's fresh ingredients and unique sandwich options really make the difference between any sandwich from Dockside versus any fast food chain. We highly recommend trying them!

Not cool ever, especially during COVID. Other than that, the food, atmosphere, and location was all good.
