Stopped in while working down the street. Place was great , the customer service was great, Ive never been here before but felt I was treated like family. Delicious roast beef sandwich too.

*****

Had a wonderful time here out here! Service was excellent, food tasted great, and the quietness of the area on a week day was a nice relief to the city life near by. 10/10 would come back again!

*****

Very cute little area of town right by the marina. Not very big inside but a few tables with umbrellas on the patio or you can walk to the water and eat at the picnic tables. Very friendly service.

*****

I highly recommend sandwiches made fresh and you can taste the freshness!! And best customer service and so friendly!

*****

My coworkers and I love to go to Dockside for lunch. They use the freshest ingredients, the price is right, and the environment beside the lake is beautiful. The owner is absolutely sweet and is a pleasure every time we go. Definitely give it a go!

*****

We always get a hotdog at the end of our pier walk and they never disappoint!

The best deli sandwich in town. Generous servings, made to order with the greatest care. This family owned business treats every customer like family. I have a disability. They helped bring me my food and had a new step built just for me. Such courtesy and love is hard to find in this harsh world. Do yourself a favor and visit dockside deli!

Super sweet service, I loved my Superman ice cream!! Everyone in the shop was very nice, I went there after my shift with my mom and it brightened my day!

Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful. Came here for ice-cream after spending a few hours at the beach with my kids and will definitely be coming back when visiting Chicago!

All of our ice cream tasted really good, brought me back to my childhood on those hot summer vacation trips.

Love this spot for seriously delicious ice cream!! It's a tradition. Try the coconut chocolate chip, it will not disappoint!

*****

Absolutely delicious ice cream for a good price. I saw in some ice cream shop that they had a single scoop for 6 bucks and almost gave up on ice cream shops, but came here and they had a whole turtle sundae for 6.85 and it was delicious. The caramel is yummy, the pecans are fresh, the whipped cream is fluffy, and the ice cream.... Oh absolute dream. Will definitely try to come back.

*****

Their ice cream is really good and service.

Great ice cream, I love taking a walk at the pier with the family and stop by to grab a cone of their ice cream, old fashion vanilla is my family's favorite flavor but they do have a variety of flavors to meet everyone taste...

*****

Wow this place is awesome the flavor and the taste of the ice cream is fantastic

Love the ice cream the atmosphere and the staff is so friendly. Prices are up but thats inflation for us. Still worth every penny, must try the daily grind my personal favorite. And Im probably not going to spell it right but an Affogato its basically a shot of espresso with a heap of vanilla ice cream the best!!
