We are a locally owned pub where we put the emphasis on fresh, local and sustainable food. Family and friends are invited to come drink and dine in our casual and relaxing atmosphere. We are open Monday to Saturdays at 11:30am.
Wonderful meal, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. Second time coming here, it does not disappoint. I only wish they had a location in my home town.
They didn't have the first thing wanted (on the menu), and the other choices were limited for the lunch special. The chicken fingers tasted like grease and were watery, with only a touch of salt for seasoning. Very bland. The soup was also bland, I'm not sure what they used for stock, but it had almost no flavor. Definitely not the same as what we frequented all those years. The service was rushed. Good, but asking us every 5 minutes how things were. Our server wanted to take my plate, even though I still had food. She reached for it as she asked if I was done. I love The Dock, have always enjoyed the food tremendously. Today was a little disappointing.
The place was very quiet .There was one other family in a booth. Food was not hot, and the quesadilla was soggy. The vegetarian quesadilla had lots of corn,beans,onions and tomatoes. Lettuce was wilted in the salad. Fries were excellent. Service was attentive, and server was friendly.
The soup was an absolute joke, mostly green beans in beef broth. Even after having the server bring a second bowl, I found ONE little tiny bit of beef and no barley at all. The chicken fingers were overcooked and dry. Our server was very gracious about trying to fix the situation, but I will not return here any time soon.
Recently had the pleasure of working with The Dock to cater the cocktail hour for our wedding. From the beginning, Erin and Whitney were so wonderful to work with. Whitney went above and beyond, creating a menu that highlighted everything we love about The Dock (fresh, local food and great flavours) but also felt so fancy!! Erin made planning so easy and even took time out of her busy schedule to scout out the location so that everything would run smoothly the day of the wedding. Everyone LOVED the food and you helped make our day so special 💕 thank you!
Called at 4:45 to make a quick reso for 6 at 6pm. We pre ordered our food as we had a seminar to go to at 7pm. Everything was ready and service by Blair was out of this world! Highly recommend! Get the Charcuterie Board.....omg amazing!!! My staff had an amazing time! From your friends at Toymasters!
This place is a vibe! The food is amazing! The service is great, all around a great place to eat and have a socialable drink. Highly recommend the deep fried Mars bar!
Downtown Old Town Brandon in an old truck manufacturing building! Built in the early 1900's this building and eatery is bustling with lots of regular customers and we found out why! Our waitress was super friendly and very witty to talk with, a very welcoming personality. Our food came fast and hot and did not disappoint, large portions and we'll presented. We couldn't stay for the music but that looked super fun to do also. Please use this restaurant, you won't be disappointed with the food and the warm atmosphere, and old town bar feel. Large dining area and lots of seating. 2 large beers and two dinner meals for $50!
Incredible food! The gluten free menu is amazing and I had the best GF fish & chips ever!! Dietary restrictions: Celiac
Very nice place, nice people and good food. The Dock burger is a must
Fantastic food, great service. Super cute restaurant too!
Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free menu and options Food
Food is delicious! Never a disappointment! Price is on point for the quality and quantity of food. Service is always great Dietary restrictions: My wife is gluten intolerant and so are my 3 children, they all can eat here safely without any issues. Just let the server know you need it gluten free and they can make it that way for you!
Great people in a great place, thanks folks!
Had Chicken fingers they were pk. A bit over cooked for my liking but still good. Sweet potato fires were yummy I could have had 2 servings of those. Wheelchair accessibility: I dont think a wheelchair would fit well through the doors. Once inside I believe their is space.
Service is good if your are not seated in the family section/restaurant side. Was a big table of 8 and took 2 hours to receive our food. Wait staff only popped by a couple times until food were delivered.
Really liked this place. Great staff. Great food.
Nice little place with great drinks, good service, and ample parking.
The spicy Buffalo burger is superb
Great place to eat and hang out
Food has always been good, and their taps have improve greatly from the last visit.
Kid-friendliness: High chairs Food
Kaitlyn is literally the best server We will be coming back!! Food
1st time here, 1st impression made us laugh with the bathroom doors: Nuts or No Nuts. Enjoyed our visit with our friends. Food was awesome. Out of control by the restaurant, unfortunately some patrons think we would rather hear theyre conversation and not have our own. INSIDE voice.
Blair was great, 2x great, 2nd time suggesting a great beer Dietary restrictions: Gluten free was great Food : 5/5 |
Deadly Parking: Hard to park Food : 5/5 |
Great service, great food. We come here every time we are in Brandon
Service from Geneva and the fresh bowl was great!
Tasty gluten free burger with poutine side. (Gf bun would be improved by serving toasted or grilled, because product is dry and has poor crumb texture as sold.) Relaxed atmosphere at dinner midweek on the patio. Kind server. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options are good.
Awesome server named Tiffany
Beautiful afternoon on the patio!
The food was delicious and the deals were great. Very affordable and great quality. Service was great also
Awesome food great beer selection, very knowledgeable and friendly staff would highly recommend
Great food, extensive Gluten-free options that are truly GF..... awesome service
A must try, the food was absolutely delicious! It was hot and you can tell that there is pride in what they serve out of the kitchen. We will definitely return
Great Beer on tap. Delish
Great pub Great food Reasonable prices and a decent selection of draft beer Food : 4/5
Some of the best burgers I have ever had.
Tiffany is a was a fantastic server!! Would highly recommend!! Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options Food : 5/5 |
Food is great drinks are cold and the slots aint paying 10/10 would come again
Nice get away, whether by yourself or with friends... FOOD, sooo good...
I love The Dock! We regularly come for apps and dinner. Great relaxed space and Blair is a kind, fabulous and efficient server! Had a great experience and will be back soon!
Good food, good prices, will be back
The place needs a cash infusion to revamp . Then they need to train staff to be attentive and get off their phones . We left after waiting about 15 minutes for our server to take a drink order.
Always a stop we make when in Brandon. Its a place we feel comfortable taking our kids in the relaxed atmosphere with friendly servers and staff. The food is great with options for everyone. Their onion rings are my favorite.
The quantity is quite large
Great patio, good food, friendly staff and fair prices - what else is there?
Tried the Mexican Street Nachos and was blown away. Dietary restrictions: Blair, our server, was very knowledgeable about the gluten free options and didnt hesitate to ask the kitchen about the new menu items for us. Food : 5/5 |
Great service, great food and great atmosphere! Really enjoyed my experience.
Parking: A dozen or so dedicated parking spaces for the restaurant or street parking thats free evening and weekend. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, crayons,
Amazing place! Beautiful and friendly staff!!!
The marinated steak sandwich was great! It has a nice smoke taste to it. Nachos with shredded beef are great. Wings are great. 5/5!
The chef was a super nice woman who was super flexible to all of our allergy issues and made something up for us from the ingredients we could eat. Highly recommend this restaurant to people with food allergies. She just understands and goes the extra mile. I highly recommend THE DOCK on princess!
The Chef was amazing here and was very knowledgeable and accommodated all my allergies. She personally took our phone call when we called to inquire about the ingredients and she customized a dish that is not even on the menu. She visited us at our table and was super friendly and fun to talk to. The food tasted amazing and was filling. I recommend everyone should try THE DOCK on princess.
The Bison burgers are great. I enjoyed the Blazin Bison burger (with jalapenos) and others in our party enjoyed the Saskatoon Berry Bison burger.
Great variety and cold beer.
One of the best gluten free menus in town, they even have a dedicated fryer so its safe for celiacs. I love the murder mystery nights as well. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free menu with various options, dedicated fryer
Fantastic evening.Great food and wonderful service.
Stopped here for a quick bite before heading to trivia across the street. Staff were attentive and friendly despite the supper rush. I had a half order of chicken fingers and fries, it was delicious! Definitely will be visiting again
Staff and food are amazing. We had a great time. Tiffany and her Manager made sure my Dad and I where well looked after even thou we moved tables which they more than accommodated. We will be going back. Kid-friendliness: Really kind and attentive.
Chill atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. Parking: There is a parking lot attached to the dock. For customer convenience Food : 5/5 |
Blair is great! Spinach dip is better than any place in Winnipeg or Brandon
In a sea of chain restaurants, the Dock stands out on its own. They have the best beer tap list selection in the entire city with beers from breweries as close as across the street to breweries from Dauphin and Winnipeg, a great way to sample what Manitobas made of. My go-tos are their hand breaded mozzarella sticks and their beer battered fries.. I dont know why they havent made the beer battered fries their default fries by now. Their Dock burger is always a classic and their braised beef dip sandwich is worth getting au jus all over your shirt (each and every time)
Table service was really slow for pool league players.
Parking: Right around restaurant Food
Always the best service! Dietary restrictions: I have a friend with a gluten allergy and she loves the dock and has never had any issues with her orders here! Food : 5/5 |
Atmosphere was nice, yam fries were below par, soggy, dont recommend. Enjoyed their beer fries and clamato burger. I would not order fish and chips there again, they were horrible. If i only had fish and chips there then I would have given only one star review thanks to the team of three of us that had lunch there, only one had a bad experience. Service could be improved upon, way too much time from the time you order drinks and when you get them, at some point you feel like they forgot your order, well actually they also did forget to bring one of us drinks.
Excellent food, reasonable price ish.
Excellent food and service!
Friendly Parking: If your not hestint, np Food : 5/5 |
Parking: Street and lot Wheelchair accessibility: Not great Food : 5/5 |
If you are an onion ring fan, this is the place for you! Their coconut onion rings are second to none! They come with a spicy-ish sauce for dipping which pairs perfectly. Try the Dock burger which never disappoints and also has two giant onion rings on it. Homemade burger patties makes this experience epic. Always lots of beers to choose from and they always carry something local.
Food is always great there.. I had the chicken fingers and sweet potatoe fries, . One of my favs!!!
Blair was a great server, very friendly and attentive. Our food was great too. Thank you for the great experience Blair!
A bigger appetizer menu would be nice!
We ve been here twice while visiting and have loved the food and service each time!
Its a pub with some stuff to do like pool. Food was solid for what you expect at a pub friendly service. Just an all around solid place. Parking: Its just not a very well set up parking lot. Polls and obstacles can be in the way.
Great food. It was busy but didnt take long for food to come. Friendly server, good atmosphere. Like the outside patio in the summer.
Parking: Great if you want a burger and terrible service. Food
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options are amazing. So many optionsand so tasty. Dedicated fryer for fries :) Kid-friendliness: She loved the food options!!!
Neat pub atmosphere, always busy so service can be slow, but good food for the value!
Great food!
I had veggie soft tacos. They were good, the lime sauce that came with was amazing. The atmosphere was fun, lots of parking. Recommend it.
I only come here once in a while. It s always very good. Parking: Good Food : 5/5 |
Geneva was absolutely wonderful always had a smile on her face and checked in the perfect amount! Great atmosphere and kind staff definitely recommend
Be prepared to wait for a very long time.
Best charcuterie board ever. Have traveled extensively through Europe and Asia and this board is the best in comparison. Awesome job
The Fresh Bowl was really great. Just wished I had asked for the banana peppers on the side. The side order of garlic bread I ordered made it a great meal.
Just ordered on Dec 30th 2022 and was delicious. I ve heard lots of good things and it did not disappoint!
Nice pub atmosphere, good drink selection, and great food
great food, great atmosphere and great staff.
Just great
Would a hundred percent come back just for Blair.
Food is alright, staff should get more training though. They forgot to bring cultery when they served my food and made me wait 10 minutes for the cultery, she was blonde. The atmosphere was also not very welcoming either, very dim and looks dirty.
The atmosphere was fun, food and service were very good
OMG the Doc burger with a side of jalapeño mac N cheese was to DIE for. The coffee and baileys was also very noice
All time favorite restaurant, if you re gluten-free you must check it out. Their gluten-free menu is the same size as the normal one and at the same price. Gluten-free fish and chips are to die for.
Had a great lunch and couple drinks Ive never tried before. Great food, friendly service & overall nice atmosphere. We were charged couple dollars more for our meal than what was on the menu & also for the side, but no biggie.
We went off the beaten path in Brandon on our trip from AB to ON. Not the best meal after 20 hours on the road. We chose this restaurant for the bison. The online menu showed bison ribs but they werent on the menu. On top of that they were out of bison for the bison burger. More of a sports bar feeling than restaurant, and after our meal we had wished we did not come across this restaurant.
Catered in The Dock for our workplace lunch. They provided an awesome variety of wraps with a generous side portion of kettle cook chips. YUM. Their staff made ordering and delivery very simple. Great communication.
Everything was delicious. Nice atmosphere and the service was fantastic. Only had time to eat at one place in Brandon this trip, and we were so glad we chose The Dock on Princess.
Excellent service and food was awesome...
The dock smacks. Live music is 12/10
Tuesday 8 buck flights, pretty good selection beer. Tasty bison burger.
Friendly staff with quick service and reasonable priced
Excellent place to eat & drink, friendly staff
great service, great food!
Very slow service it took 30 minutes to get beer and one server girl serving around 50 people. Avoid this place if anyone are in rush .
Good local food, great service!
Ok
Stopped in for a burger. The staff were friendly service was pretty good, the burger was tasty.
Food was great and staff was very friendly.
Had the seafood, very good, the chicken tacos were dry not enough sauce, service was average
Very great service food was your typical pub food with a few different things to try I would definitely go back again
Always had great food there got green fried rabbit mushrooms it was a plate of fried batter with the odd slice of mushroom. Should have said something while I was there. Couldn t eat it. Very disappointing
Wonderful staff and even better food.
Attended mid afternoon and I was greeted by friendly staff. She quickly attended to me and my food came out fairly quick. The food presentation was great, it looked absolutely delicious and tasted just as good!
Love The Dock, I go here with my family for supper nearly anytime Im in town. They have a very tasty menu that includes locally sourced ingredients. If you like a good burger and/or fries, give this place a shot!
They chicken tacos and beer battered fries are top tier, super crunch outsides and soft insides. Perfect
This was my first time coming here, and it did not disappoint. Came with a couple co-workers and it was very busy and obviously short-staffed, as most places nowadays. We were also on a very limited time crunch. The wait was getting long, over 30 min, but when we expressed how we were needing to leave to get back to work, the staff moved our order up., without us even asking! We may have speed-ate our lunch, but it was absolutely delicious!! The prices were a bit high, but thats seen at every place nowadays. Id recommend this place for a get-together with friends for sure! This is a pub-type environment, which is excellent for a great time with the gang. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are amazing and delicious! Dietary restrictions: They really strive to offer great options from vegetarian to gluten-free! I mean...gluten-free onion rings?! Hello!
Great food, service and atmosphere
I cannot really rate on atmosphere as I did not eat in the restaurant. I was at section 6 which has their menu on each table and you have to order through the brewery. The food was horrible. We waited over an hour for our food. I know we were not priority as we were not in the restaurant but if you are taking my money as a take out order I think you should treat me as a paying customer. We finally had the brewery call the dock to see if our food was coming. Within minute our food was there. Cold and terrible. I will never be back. Love the dock as a customer when Im in the restaurant so disappointing when they know Ive paid for my food and cant complain to the brewery. If I had more time I would have walked over and said something to the management. If you want your menu displayed on a table treat the customer with a bit of respect . We all work hard for our money. I would have had no problem walking over and picking up my food 30 minutes earlier when it was ready. Places get busy and staff is hard to come by but if you dont have the staff to manage dont put it a service you really cant provide. Look up all my reviews I dont just put the bad places up I love writing a good review . I have been a business owner for over 27 years...
Always a great, fun time at the dock!
Atmosphere really great. Waitress was very prompt and kind.
This place has lost its unique touch. This menu is soooooo basic and has been the same for years. Food is mediocre. It needs an update!! Its disappointing because this used to be the place to be. Service was fine, just wasnt a fan of waiting 45 min for 2 tacos.
The best place to go for an amazing meal. The server Connie is the best. The meal was Fantastic. Burgers were so juicy and flavourful and the garlic fries were so delicious as well.
Well now, let me spin you a tale bout this here neighborhood haunt, a joint so cozy and worn it could tell a thousand stories if them walls could talk. This place, its like a patchwork quilt of souls, a warm refuge for the lost and found, where the pianos got more scars than a barroom brawler. You step on in, and the air hangs heavy with the scent of seasoned wood and memories soaked in whiskey. The bartender, an old salt with a face like a map of lifes winding roads, slides you a glass without needing a word. No fancy mixology, just a pour thats poured with history and the kind of wisdom you can only gather by watchin the world from behind that ancient counter. The regulars, theyre like a motley crew of characters plucked straight from the pages of a noir novel. Theres Old Jack, with a gravelly voice and tales that could fill volumes, and Ruby, a dame whos seen more than her fair share of heartache but still wears a smile that could light up the darkest alley. And then theres Crazy Lou, a wild-eyed poet who spouts verses that sound like they were written by a man whos danced with the devil. And oh, the stories that are traded round this bar! Love lost and found, dreams chased and shattered, all shared with a whiskey-fueled honesty that cuts through the pretense like a switchblade through silk. Youll hear tales thatll make your heart ache and your gut laugh, all within the span of a single round. So if you find yourself wanderin down that dusty road, look for the flickerin neon sign and the sound of piano notes driftin through the air. Walk on in, pull up a stool, and let the stories and spirits flow. This neighborhood bar, its a haven for the bruised, the hopeful, and the weary, a place where time stands still and lifes melodies find their voice in the clinking of glasses and the hum of the night.
Great service, only seating was high seated chairs though in the bar side.
The food is always amazing here!! I love that it s all locally sourced produce. The service and staff are always timely and amazing!!!
Great ladies night out! Dietary restrictions: The charcuterie board was great and not full of nuts! Food : 3/5 |
Stopped here last weekend for lunch and a drink. We werent sure how hungry we were so shared the calamari and chicken tacos along with a couple local IPAs. The food and drinks were both enjoyable... we will be back!
Love this place. Tiffany is the best.
Ordered for pickup and it was quick and hot when we got it home and tasted amazing!!
We got into Brandon late and just picked this restaurant for takeout on the way to our hotel. Thank goodness we decided to grab it before getting to the hotel as it was only a short detour; it wouldve been a pain to go back into town. Typical pub atmosphere. However, their gluten-free free menu is just wow! They even have battered foods with gluten-free flours, unheard of! Its so nice to be able to eat out and have options other than just salad. We are from out of town, so we picked The Dock because of the abundant gluten-free options, including gravies! I ordered their beef dip sandwich with poutine. Do you know how long its been since Ive had poutine? Mmmmm, just delicious. The beef dip was so good with lots of tender thin sliced beef, horseradish on a soft and moist gluten-free bun, and umami au jus that was perfect!!! Hubby had their regular bacon avocado chicken wrap. It also was very good. Thank you for a very enjoyable and delicious supper!. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free
The food is amazing in this quiet sleepish town. Its a busy place, they have a lovely patio. Food was served promptly.
Highly recommend! Food was great and service was excellent. We will be coming back!
Was told to seat anywhere and then just left after 25min of waiting after I sat down. Didn t see a waitress, menu, glass of water.
As usual, the food and atmosphere are just great. Came by with a few buddies tonight for food and pool. Our appies were great, we had onion rings and mozza sticks. Highly recommend the onion rings. Main courses were all pretty darn tasty, go figure one of the guys ate too many appies and had to doggybag his food. Great place to come for a good meal or even drinks and appies. Looking forward to next time.
Very cool place in Brandon. Met a few friends and everything was great. Fast service, great food (fish and chips) and the atmosphere is very nice. Looks like it would be a great place to hang with larger groups or even just two people. I ll be back!
Hands down Brandon staple!! Parking: Park parallel to the building to they turn your car in to a beer keg!!!! Food : 5/5 |
Service was attentive.The beer was cold and the appetizers were decent.The daily special cocktails were creative and reasonably priced.
Connie was our server. There were 12 of us and she handled our wants and needs like a pro!! She was amazing and deserves a raise. People like her do not come along very often!! She rocks.
Good food, good atmosphere. Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible Food : 5/5 |
$5 margaritas? Good. Putting bar lime Im almost every cocktail? Bad. Tequila Lime Tacos are mediocre and bland. Chicken was dry and unseasoned. Coconut Onion Rings were decent.
Great place with great food and great staff! Mostly high chairs, I recommend some booths. Food
Celebrating a friends birthday and one of the favorite restaurants with this family is The Dock. I was recommended The Dock burger and was not disappointed. If you can see by the picture, the patty was thick and the burger was delicious! The onion rings were a little bland with taste but dip it in the sauce they have and you wont be disappointed. Although the presentation of the deep fried Mars Bar looks amazing, I was disappointed with the first bite. Not something I would get again. Might have ordered the cheesecake, but their flavor was Tiger Tiger that day and from what I heard from my friend, it wasnt that tasty either. More options would be nice. The service was superb though. Constantly came back to check on us, was very professional and friendly. Made the time there even more enjoyable. Kid-friendliness: Had a good kids menu
Food was good service was excellent.
Always one of our go-to s! Love everything about this place.
Update: Based on the reply seems like the restaurant had lots of issues to deal with. Really think the planning between the tour and the restaurant shoukd have been better. Will increase my rating from 1 star, since Ive had some good service here before. I was a part of the Open Brandon Bus Tour 2022 which was very good. But the last part of the tour was a meal at the Docks.Poor food experience with over 1.5 hrs wait for our food though we pre-ordered a day before. And the order wasnt fully correct
I have been here many times, but I am starting to struggle with the VALUE of the menu. Why is a lunch for 2 people almost $80? I came back another day in the same week by myself and got the pick 2 for $15 and I got 1/2 beef dip and 1/2 salad with ranch. The salad had WAAAAAY too much greens - as if to make the price worth while. The Sandwich was good if you took your sandwich components OFF THE BUN. Otherwise, everything tasted like burnt toast - I could not eat the bread. Be CAREFUL when waitresses discuss sides - they suggest things that require additional cost without telling you. Connie (maybe?) is especially guilty of this...I get you need to upsell, but be sure to mention additional charge when your menu says is included. CHICKEN CAESAR IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN KEG - just a heads up... This place has always been a go-to for us when in town...but lately, I dont see the value. Burnt toast, average (sneaky?) service and forgettable specials make be believe this wont be a stop in the future. Parking: Limited spots but lots of paid street parking.
Great atmosphere, delicious variety of food and friendly service!
Chicken wings are my favorite Its a lovely place to have dinner with friends!! Beer, wine, cocktail everything is perfect for me!! The staff is friendly parking lots, yes. pool with friends, yes. Food, fresh and tasty. Alcohol, absolutely
Great service, good food and great vibe.
It was OK. Seems like a nice patio spot in the summer, or a bar to watch sports, meet up with friends after work. However for us, it wasn t quite what we like when it comes to a dinner spot, drinks were great though! We had some beer on tap and it was excellent. I wish there wasn t 5 menus, we were handed a drink menu, a drink special menu, dessert menu, harvest menu, and the regular menu. It was a little hard to order.
Good food, Good service friendly staff
Very friendly place. Loved the atmosphere and the staff. 5 stars.
Wonderful environment! Fantastic food! And great staff!!
Ask for Blair - fantastic server! Definitely give the charcuterie board and the coconut onion rings a try! Great spot, friendly service and excellent food!
I really enjoy this bar! The food is great and beer is at the perfect temperature! I totally recommend for people who want to hang out with their friends. Also the pool tables are nice and well maintained.
Delivered right on time, everything was still warm and our nacho platter was just as it would be if we were in the restaurant
A typical UK pub setting with a decent menu.
One of the best spots in Brandon. Great food, good service, good times to be had here with friends.
