Went with my family on a Saturday night and the service was phenomenal!! Originally they were booked for outside seating and towards the end of the night the owner Mario made room for us to see the fireworks outside right on the edge of the lake ! Very outstanding personality ! He even offered us a drink on the house!! Definitely recommend! we drove 2 hours to see this place and we're coming back for more! thank you all for making this experience one of the best we've ever had!

If you can get in the food is superior. And the fact is that you can get on the deck if you want fresh air

Located on scenic Fox Lake,this restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining offering burgers,sandwiches,pizza,salads and more. They have a fantastic lakeside deck to enjoy the boats or sunset while sipping on one of their famous margaritas or Mai Tai. We went on a Friday night after 8pm so we had no trouble getting seated. We just went for a cocktail and nachos..both were good. They do offer a Friday Fish Fry which I want to try next time . Service was very good and prices reasonable. Plenty of parking is available. A must stop when in the Fox Lake area.

Great place if you are looking for a relaxing evening watching the sunset over the lake. We stopped for a drink and a snack and were seated promptly on the deck with a kitschy tropical vibe. Our server was super sweet. The MaiTai was a great cocktail to accompany the sunset. The Friday night fish fry looked like the best bet but we weren't that hungry. Nachos come with many accompaniments. The menu has much to offer so we will return when in the Fox Lake area.

Dockers is my new favorite place! We went twice on our quick weekend trip to Fox Lake and I highly recommend! We stopped by Friday afternoon for a couple of cocktails and to enjoy their beautiful views of the water. The bloody was tasty and I also got a frozen margarita that hit the spot on a hot day. My boyfriend got a beer which was nice and cold but just be aware they'll come out in a plastic cup (if you have an issue with that). We clearly had an adult palate that day so we sampled their fries and mozzarella sticks which were very yummy. The service was excellent on a busy Friday afternoon. We went back Saturday for an early lunch and most everyone got burgers and everyone agreed they were absolutely delicious. I did a Caesar salad which was tasty and the portion was huge. This time there was a big group of us and the service was also very good. Thank you for being a great part of our weekend!

Loved it. We arrived after a 6 mile hike we took at Volo Bog. (Took we took a wrong turn and made it even longer hike than planned. The tasty margaritas took care of any tight muscles - very medicinal. It was out.first time there. We had a lovely server named Macy who made our visit even better. The summer salad I had was fresh and excellent. My friend loved the Greek salad. We both loved the bread. Well, go back if ever in the area. By the way, on the way out, because we weren't quite ready for what was on the dessert menu we stopped at.The Coffee Shop, a few hundred feet from Dockers. My friend had a honey coffee drink, and I had a banana coffee chocolate beverage. Both of us said that would bring us back to the neighborhood too.

We arrived a little later than the rest of our large group, half of whom were seated inside and the other half out on the deck. It was a beautiful, warm October day, so after we started to sit down inside then saw the rest of the group out on the deck, we decided right away to head outside, and it was definitely the right decision! Our outside group of about 12, who'd gathered for an early dinner after an afternoon performance, were set up at several tables strung together into one long one, at the end of the deck closest to the restaurant. It was perfect. I had the appetizer combo basket, which was plenty for me for three meals (so I took 2/3 home), and it was his birthday, so my husband was extremely happy with their largest cut of prime rib. Our servers did an excellent job with our large group, even agreeing to split our check up, as most of the guys were paying individually. The waterfront view at sunset was an added bonus that made the gathering of friends even more perfect. I'd love to go back again and sit right by the water, which is always my favorite place to dine on a nice day. This is a lovely spot to do this -- the deck is large and inviting, and the waterfront view is lovely.
