Dodgy Dock Restaurant Grenada

First off let me start by saying i love to experience local food on any trip i do. I make it a priority to visit and have local food. Now thats been said, this is probably my worse culinary experience ive had in all of Grenada. Lets start with the pricing: you have to buy chits that your purchase food with, the chits are non refunadable which they do let you know upfront. The food is extremely expensive for what it is. Its sold as a portion and for what you get, you can have cheaper food in proper fine dining restuarants. To compare prices, ive spend less money on Paradise beach in Carriacou for 2 than i did for 1 person here. Now lets talk about the taste of the food: id give it 1 star. Despite the food being in food warmers, it was very cold. How can you serve cold samosas? A samosa should be hot! Same for roti! The chicken i had which sounded much more exciting than it actually was (nutmeg bbq chicken) was over cooked and exactly dry! Combining both the taste and the price, i would most certainly not revisit. Now, lets talk about service. Everywhere and i meam everywhere i visited in Grenada i had exceptional service except for dodgydock. I get it, at times establishments are busy but i was treated terribly by the wait staff. She literally yelled at me for sitting on a reserved table and came towards me to move and began yelling. I did inform her i did have a reservation and she asked me to find my name on my table and sit there. Terrible service. Parking: our reservation was for 8pm, however we arrived at 715pm and the car park was extremely full. Please note that parking is limited so you would most likely you will have to park on the street and walk.² Please also note this event is popular so its usually very crowded. Would i revisit/ recommend? Defintely not!

Overall, very good, especially the staff and service. Restaurant hours were great, but could use more menu variety. Island prices, but lunch and the bar are quite reasonable. Several other options for meals are within walking distance. St George University is nearby. I love the included breakfast. But I would like an all- inclusive package. The dive shop is great. The dive masters are some of the best I've seen. Very safe.

Food was generally quite nice and well prepared. Lovely friendly staff. Nice calm and welcoming atmosphere. Drinks were good and reasonably priced for a hotel bar. All good generally and would definitely visit again. I stayed in Grenada for a week and was happy with the offerings they had at the bar and on their themed nights. I particularly enjoyed the “Street Food” event which took place on the Wednesday.

This review is a one star strictly because of the service I had when I recently went. I have been here before and had a great time. The service, food, atmosphere, all 10/10. But this visit was very different, purely because of Akim, our waiter. We were seated quickly as it was a quiet night, given water and menus, and then left for about 20–30 minutes with no follow up. Akim eventually came to take our order, which went fine. The food took about 30 minutes to arrive (not his fault, and not a big deal). However, when I asked a question about a drink, I received a surprisingly rude and snarky response. After our food and drinks were served, we were never checked on to see if we needed anything else. Once we finished eating, we waited about 15 minutes for the check before going up to him to request it, which still took another 10 minutes to receive. All in all, the food is great, and I’m sure the service is usually much better on other nights. But this experience with Akim was disappointing. He was inattentive, unhelpful, and lacked the courtesy expected in good service.

Absolutely loved the Wednesday street food night. Tasty food, good vibes and great music. My 8year old enjoyed it so much that we couldn’t get her to leave! Definitely recommend for all the family. Also had dinner here on arrival from the airport. Super friendly staff and tasty chickpea curry.

We went there for Friday dinner and was pleasantly surprised that they had live music, so we had a great evening eating drinking and dancing 🙌

Best thing about Dodgy Dock is the location on the waterfront. We first came here on a Wednesday night for the street food event. Then returned the following Monday for a late lunch. The food was so so at best. The fish sandwich was a fried tuna steak. The staff were not attentive. The restaurant was not busy but the staff seem to have disappeared. I waited 35 minutes for someone to ask if we needed anything. Eventually I walked up to the bar and ordered another beer. We were there for 2 hours and not a single staff asked if we needed anything else. We kept having to go up and ask for help. Very disappointed as this was supposed to be one of the better restaurants.

Honestly, I was disappointed with my experience at Dodgy Dock. The attendants/servers were very kind, generous, and welcoming, so no complaints about the staff. But the food itself really let me down. We came for a family dinner, and everything about the food service was frustrating. We ordered starters, and it took about an hour and 15 minutes before anything came out. By the time it arrived, it was cold and had no real flavor. We also ordered a pizza, and the staff told us it was ready yet somehow it still came out after the starters, and even then, it was cold. One of my relatives had a burger and fries, and that was another letdown. The burger was basically just a dry bun with beef, lettuce, and a little mayo no tomato, no cucumber, no pickles, no extra sauce, nothing. And the fries came out dry with just ketchup on the side. After that experience, we didn’t even bother ordering from the main menu. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are friendly, but the food quality, presentation, and long wait times made this a really poor family dinner.
