Very helpful in picking your first time order. The Grinder is it. Very fresh and flavorful Lobster Roll. Authentic with chunky meat. shoestring Fries crispy and service fast. We tried other things in the exchange but the Lobster Roll is my favorite. The salad was fresh but it wasn’t shining like the Lobster Roll. I’d come back for sure

I typically order but decided to dine in the area is similar to a food court of sorts with multiple food vendors. Dock local has pretty tasty & fresh seafood options my top picks are the Lobster Rolls & Lobster grilled cheese I was not a huge fan of the pictured fries but the portion was sizable for the price

It was my first time visiting the Exchange Hall and decided to order from The Dock. We ordered the Lobster Grilled Cheese and it was the best Lobster sandwich I’ve ever had, hands down! It was full of succulent lobster and oozing in plenty of cheese. Absolutely delicious!

OMG!! That pretty much sums up my grilled lobster cheese sandwich. One of the best lobster sandwiches I’ve ever had. Being from Maine and having lobstermen in the family, I’ve had my share of real Maine lobster prepared in every way imaginable. The lobster was so tender and succulent and the cheese was oozing out of the sandwich, very mild cheese not overpowering at all. You must try this sandwich. You won’t be disappointed!! The service was AAA+

They advertise the bread for one of their Lobster Rolls as Gluten Free: it’s not!

Delicious seafood option inside the Exchange Hall! They had various rolls, tacos, and other twists on staples like mac n cheese or queso. All of it looked good and was good! Today, I stopped by at lunch for lobster bisque and Baja tacos (grilled fish). Absolutely excellent. I waited about 10 minutes for my food, which was fairly priced, and loved that there were indoor and outdoor seating options! Overall, big fan of the EH and this particular shop.

The Dock was a pleasant surprise!! It’s located in the Exchange Hall located in the AT&T Discovery District in downtown Dallas. I had a bowl of delicious clam chowder and 2 tacos, one fish and one shrimp that were AWESOME! Some of the people I was with had the lobster roll and said it was amazing as well. If you are looking for good seafood, definitely check this place out.

I love restaurants with small menus. This place is very small and surprisingly large menu considering it’s locale. They do well by offering lobster roll 4 ways. I prefer my lobster cold, so I went for the grinder with a side of chips. My meal was fantastic; it came with a complimentary side of sliced cucumbers topped with a special cream. The morsel is a nice touch. The side of corn topped with crab is certainly deserving of an honorable mention. I hope your experience is as good or better than mine. Enjoy!
