The Loading Dock

The view of the water and location is great. They also have live music, which was fun. The negatives are that they only had 1 draft beer option and then the food. The menu is very, very limited. We had coleslaw, shrimp roll, chicken strips, and fries. All of the food was below average quality and not very good. I feel like you could get better food at any fast food restaurant and spend less. I've been looking forward to going here for a long time and was pretty disappointed.

Stunning waterfront restaurant set in town of Graffon, Illinois, however is known as the St Louis' only The spot is cheerful, ample orderly parking available opposite the building. There's live music that creates a family vibe. If you don't want to sit at the restaurant the entire time,you could take your dog across to a park-like area. There is lots to see and do along the restaurant location street and even more beyond. I didn't sample thelr food offerings yet, but plan to visit again and review that aspect. This spot could work great for many scenarios...family time, first dates, take the kids out and just alone time;)

The 12 mile drive on The Great River Road from Alton to Grafton is a National Scenic Byway. The patios and indoor bar hold seating for up to 800 people. Fun and crowded on Saturday/Sunday, peaceful with plenty of elbow room Monday through Friday. The river views are unmatched.
