The Dockside Story
For more than 30 years, Dockside has been a beloved waterfront gathering place where great food, beautiful views, and coastal hospitality come together. Nestled along the Intracoastal Waterway near Wrightsville Beach, what began as a local favorite has grown into one of Wilmington's most iconic dining destinations, welcoming generations of families, boaters, visitors, and friends.
At Dockside, the focus has always been simple: serve fresh coastal cuisine, create memorable experiences, and celebrate the laid-back lifestyle that makes southeastern North Carolina so special. Whether you're arriving by boat, enjoying a sunset dinner on the deck, or gathering with loved ones for a special occasion, Dockside offers an authentic taste of the Carolina coast and a warm welcome that keeps guests coming back year after year.
