Experience Coastal Bliss

Dockside Marina Bar + Grill brings the Big Fish way down to the Indian River Inlet for a second season

BY MARY BETH PHILLIPS

DOCKSIDE MARINA BAR & GRILL is open for its second season inside the Delaware Seashore State Park on the North Side of the Indian River Inlet. The Big Fish Restaurant Group was awarded ownership of this state-owned restaurant space in 2023, which brought their restaurant total to sixteen locations throughout Delaware.

Enjoy beautiful marina views and stunning sunsets while dining at Dockside. Open mid-April through October, Dockside offers breakfast starting at 7:30 am with lunch beginning at 11:00 am. From delicious fresh seafood like fish and shrimp tacos to juicy smash burgers, Dockside has your beachside fare covered.

The relaxed atmosphere and “slower lower” Delaware vibe is celebrated with live music on the Dockside stage nightly from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm. Grab a tropical drink or a cold craft beer and sway along to the sounds of Lower Case Blues, Blind Wind, Hot Sauce, and other local Delmarva bands.

Beachgoers, slip holders, and campsite guests have rejoiced as Dockside introduced delivery last summer. Dockside offers food delivery to the North Inlet Cottages & Campgrounds, North Inlet Beach Access Path, and boat slip holders. Guests can order online at www.docksidede.com or call 302226-DOCK.

Dockside embraces the award-winning Big Fish standard of always putting guests first and providing outstanding hospitality. If you haven’t visited Dockside yet, make plans now to come see us at the North Side of the Indian River Inlet. Watch boats dock, bands play, and your worries just drift away.
