"Do not let it slide, visit ya Gotta Dockside!. This scenic, non-small joint at Colonial Beach is definitely a must for anyone interested in the local seafood tariff and entertainment ambience as well as a great view of the water. This is a little chesapeake and a little South Beach! Although we went exactly as they recently opened their Tiki hats in the late afternoon, outdoor bar, entertainment area and bandage make you feel more like in the Caribbean than in Virginia! No matter, even without entertainment, we had a great meal. My wife enjoyed her Fried Scallop plate, the best she had in a while – and she is picky about her scallops! I had her hangover burger, and I have to say, although I had no cat, it was the best I had everywhere! Although the service is pretty much covered and what you would find and expect from such a joint, in such a place, it was overall pleasant. They give you the opportunity to sit under parasols on the unreal beach or beautifully on picnic tables under the covered and much cooler deck. Prices were good, although the quality of their services was superior prices elsewhere. The bartender was even very candied in their preference, no beautifully exhibited American Harvest Vodka bottle (see my picture), the Fried Calamari appetizer was perfectly cooked and very, very tasty and fresh, the 2 Coronas I had more than Ice Cold, and we give both the Fried Scallops and Hangover Burger 4 stars in presentation, freshness and taste. We often visit Colonial Beach and I'm sure we're back to Dockside! You should really try."
