Review of Skull Creek Dockside

First of all, make reservations and allow plenty of time to park! We went online to make the rez the day before and there were only two time slots before 6 and the rest after 8. We chose 5:45pm. When we arrived, we dropped off one person to check in and the wait was 1.5 hours. When we left it was the same. The parking lot is sharing with Boathouse and Hudson's, so lots of folks driving around and no spots to be had.

By the time I parked, the person who had checked in had been seated. The staff were busy so we just wandered till we found him. I was disappointed to see that there were seats near the window and outside but we were placed furthest away from the view. Atmosphere was still pleasant.

GF daughter ordered chicken and fries. Large portion and chicken was juicy. My non GF son ordered the ribs and subbed fries. Good portion there too. Said ribs at ends were dry but got juicer as he went in. Needed the BBQ sauce most of the time. I requested the GF fried shrimp (dedicated fryer) to go with the sides they normally serve with the broiled shrimp. They were happy to accommodate me. The sides were beans and rice and seasonal veggies. The sides were good. Too much of the rice though, it's white and a little dry. I thought the portions of my dinner was just right but I'm a small person. Not sure if it'll be enough for some. All and all it was good but not sure I'd go regularly just because of the cost and hassle. For three people who drank water it was $75 before tip.
