    Hard Dock is an awful place that could not compete if it had ANY decent competition:

    1.) MENU: Good luck finding anything on the menu; the shrimp have been froven for months and taste like rubber, the jambalaya "sauce" they use is ketchup (seriously), the chicken bites are the same quality of chicken nuggets you could buy from Wendy's (at half the price)

    2.) PRICE: Hard Dock benefits from the fact it's patrons don't feel like going far for food because the play-doh tasting food is double in price what it should be. Again, with no competition they can get away with it, just don't let them rob you

    3.) HAPPY HOUR: For all intent and purpose it does not exist

    4.) STAFF: I once left my phone there, someone found it and was nice enough to turn it in to the bar (I know this because they called my recent numbers and said they would do that). When I went to the bar the pick-up my phone the staff had no idea what I was talking about-because one of them took it from the lost and found the night before!! The service is also typcially spotty at best, you should expect to wait awhile for any service despite the amount of other people at the bar.

    Even if you send all day out on the water and this place looks convenient do yourself a favor and find ANY other place to stop in for food or even a quick drink.

    P.S.
    The broken big screen TV is a nice white trash touch

    Saturday Nights at the Hard Dockl: We had not partied there in 2 years, surprised that Hard Dock was still
    there. Had such a great time, food was excellent and very reasonable.
    I love the dancing and the patio in the summers. It was so wonderful
    to dine and view the Tennessee River in the evening!!!
    I do recommend it to all, a very friendly atmosphere. Say hello to Chris at the door and tip Judy our waitress well. She did a fantastic job on a very busy Saturday evening.
    Pablo, HSV!!!
