A family connection that runs from Seadrift and the Gulf straight to Bastrop.

Our kitchen

Fried when you order

The Dockside difference / 02

From the family’s boats to your basket.

Dockside brings the owners’ Gulf Coast fishing roots inland—fresh catch, a hot fryer and seasonings with something to say.

No precious plating. No white tablecloth. Just generous seafood and a table that looks properly lived-in when you’re finished.
