Dock's Oyster House

The Dougherty family knows what they're doing. You don't keep a restaurant in your family for four generations (since 1897) and become a local icon on luck alone. Dock's is easily the best traditional seafood house in the area, and it's easy to see why upon walking in.

More often than not, you'll be greeted by a Dougherty, and then the menu will take center stage. The lobsters range from two to six and a half pounds, and the oyster stew is made with the same 1897 vintage recipe. Don't forget that there's always the item that gave the place its name - the oyster bar, which usually offers about a dozen choices. Oysters come from as nearby as Cape May and as far as British Columbia.

No seafood enthusiast should pass on Dock's. It's just that good, and for any reason: dress up and enjoy the best seafood in town.
