Coleman's Dock Of The Bay

We only stopped in for a beverage at the bar over the holiday weekend. Prompt and friendly service. Cozy bar area with view of outdoor patio seating and the river. Friendly bar conversation. We did peek at the menus and my fiancé had his heart set on the chicken dinner. But I already had plans for another restaurant. We will have to come back for the food next visit! The patio is a great view and spot to be for fireworks! Unfortunately too chilly this visit and patio was unoccupied.

We dined in for late lunch/early dinner on a Friday, it wasn't busy and our waitress was friendly and gladly answered our questions. The ribs and brisket were so tender and melted in our mouths. It could've used more flavor, but their house-made sauce and their horseradish aioli were both delicious with it. The shrimp tacos were delicious as well, the shrimp was very crispy and the sauce they were tossed in paired really well. Their house/made macaroni and cheese was decent, and the jalapeño cornbread was delicious. This place will definitely be a go-to whenever we are in Alexandria Bay.

We showed up around 2pm on 7/2/25. The staff was odd. Asked for my ID AFTER my drink order. I showed her my ID but the interaction was off. The place was busy for the time and the staff was rushing around so I was told by the wife to order mojitos while she used the ladies room. So I order my wife two mojitos so she doesn’t have to wait for her first refill and I try to get myself a beer (I like to try her cocktails to review them). Our waitress responded to my order with “we are gonna need to see some IDs here”. Mind you: My wife was in the bathroom but the hostess sat us as a family of 4 and we walked right by our server. I guess she was implying I was ordering a drink for my kids!?!? Cmon Darlene. Maybe a 3 drink order is uncommon for you, but read the room. We were on vacation, with our 11 & 16 year old kids spending 200$ + at your restaurant, it’s not hard to be kind & courteous and help get what I would like without question. I asked for a beer list, she asked “if I wanted to hear what they had on tap?” No, no I don’t Darlene. I just want an ice cold beer plz. Preferably one out of a bottle, It’s 85 degrees, I’m sitting in the sun, and I’m getting no where with Darlene. Not even sure if I’m allowed to order a beer still, back comes Darlene for my 3rd attempt for a beer and she finally had our Mojitos in tow… by this time my wife is back so I’m thinking maybe this is my chance to order MY drink. Here’s my chance to get my “excessive” first beer… so I ask her “Do you have Heineken?” Nope. How about corona with a lime? She says “Now the corona we have!” Eureka!! The mojitos were good, bartender knew their way around the drink menu. Offered my wife a special blueberry drink at the end of service and she enjoyed that. I had 3 beers. 2 coronas and an accidental lite corona that I tried to drink but could only drink 1/2 of. Lite beer is gross to me. The food is hit or miss. Bang-Bang Shrimp was our highlight. Pretzel bites are greasy. The turkey club was a large portion. The salmon was covered in teriyaki sauce n ate OK. The bbq quesadilla came out with so much cheese the grease from it made it soggy and the meat was old. The fries were very gross. Mac and cheese was obviously a microwaved old batch, also a rough bite. The chips that came with the turkey sandwich were burnt. The seating was nice. It’s great fun to watch the boats come in and out and try to park. We had lots of drama to watch with one boat crashing into a dock and thinking a car was in the water only to realize it was a corvette floaty. Darlene did come around and gave me the light beer for free. Overall I’m trying somewhere new next time. This was our go to. It’s ok to have to move on. Lots of other spots to try. Just 2 stars. Down from a 4 last year.

Met at the front by a super friendly staff. The server was fantastic. The food was so delicious. I had the pulled pork sandwich and my wife had the BBQ chicken(spiced dry rub). We sat outside and the view was great.

We had the best lunch and dinner here. The brisket is amazing and for dinner we had the broiled fish. B at the bar was amazing made our night fantastic. Mac and cheese great too thanks for a great night!
