Pop's Dockside Grill
About This Spot
Pulling up to Pop’s Dockside Grill, there’s an unmistakable feeling of stepping into a down-to-earth gathering spot where simplicity and warmth take center stage. Nestled away from the bustle, this unpretentious grill invites you to slow down and settle in, whether you’re with friends, family, or just craving a good meal that feels like a quiet nod to Southern hospitality.
Inside, the pace is easy and familiar—the kind of place where conversations flow naturally over plates brimming with hearty, comforting flavors. The air hums softly with the lively energy of shared stories and laughter, while the steady rhythm of friendly service reminds you that this is a spot that values putting people at ease. It’s not polished or flashy, but rather genuine, with every detail—from the welcoming smiles to the laid-back vibe—underscoring a sincere appetite for connection.
The menu mirrors this inviting atmosphere, showcasing a range of dishes that satisfy both seafood lovers and fans of classic American fare. Think of biting into a crispy shrimp po’boy that balances spice and crunch, or savoring a basket filled with juicy fried catfish alongside hush puppies and creamy grits. There’s an easy generosity to the portions here, reflecting the place’s commitment to good value without fuss. And whether you’re nursing one of their famously cold drinks or digging into a sampler plate, the focus remains on sharing a simple, satisfying meal.
What makes Pop’s truly special is how it quietly gathers a community. From the hum of local chatter to the occasional visit from a friendly four-legged companion, it’s a place that feels lived in and loved. While it might be a little tucked away, visitors often find the journey worth it—not just for the food, but for the sense of belonging and the comforting reminder that sometimes the best moments come from places that wear their heart on their sleeve.

Friends took us to Pop's Dockside Grill Friday night. It was our first time. We enjoyed dining there. It Was a little hot in there. But drinks were cold and food was good. We will definitely try it out again.

Amazing service and delicious food! I came down from Atlanta with my friends to celebrate my birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large party. Everything was smooth, welcoming, and the experience made my birthday celebration extra special. Highly recommend!

WAY off the beaten path but well worth the drive. Excellent food, fast and friendly service, reasonably priced. Big portions so you might need a "doggy bag". Highly recommended.

Excellent food and super nice staff here. You can sit and eat while watching the sun go down on the water. Absolutely a perfect spot for after work relaxation.

The food was excellent and a great value for the money! They were out of several items, but what they had was good. I would have given it 5 stars however the staff that was working spent the whole time we were there loudly trash talking about other staff members who were not at work. Which was quite off putting. Now if you are a fan of sweet tea you are in luck their sweet tea is probably the best I have found in a restaurant in a long time. If it was not for the staff’s trashing each other it would have been a better place
