Dockside Restaurant Opens Tonight …

Posted by Bob Gernert on June 4, 2008 at 2:05 pm

Winter Haven will have a new option for dining on the Chain of Lakes as Dockside Restaurant opens tonight (June 4, 2008) on Lake May. Many will remember the locations as “Sally’s Shrimp Boat” and later “Autumn’s Anchor.”

The steak and seafood restaurant features a game room for the kids, stage for musical performances, big screen televisions, pool tables, two bars and outside decks and docks. Owners include Jim Staples, Brian Mallory and Chris Blagg.

The new operation is in its shakedown cruise opening with an emphasis on food quality and a neighborhood type of atmosphere. (Be sure to try their fabulous yeast rolls basted with butter and honey.)

Dockside features an expansive lakefront setting and with a little rain there will be a growing focus on summer events and outdoor activities such as volleyball. It is located at 1006 S. Lake Howard Drive. Hours are Monday – Thursday from 4 p.m. to Midnight. Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Sundays from Noon to Midnight. Phone 297-1926.

Welcome!

    Dockside has designed a great indoor/outdoor bar area. I went there for lunch last Saturday and discovered their kitchen has a deep fryer, a can opener, a microwave oven and not much more.

    Go for the drinks and the view; eat before you go.

    My husband and I had drinks their tonight and we were pleasantly surprise at how nice the place was. We also went outside and were greeted by the friendliest people. The owner, Chris, really took the time to answer all my husbands questions. It looks like this young owner will bring in some fresh new ideas for this place. We are in our 50’s and this place handles both young and older people comfortably.
