Dockside Market

Love the high quality service I get. Michael sees me walk in the door and gathers my regular items that I purchase. Bobby makes the best sausages and jerky just like Lynn Mikowski did.

Hidden gem, didn't know I had such a great meat market near me. Good cuts and fair prices.

The location alone gives it 5 stars but their deli sandwiches are yummy fresh and huge! If you like beef jerky and sausage you have to stop in!

Visiting Traverse City from Indiana we went into Dockside Market to pick-up some party supplies (liquor and such). Wow, what a great little market! The sandwich's are fantastic as well the soups. One stop and we had all we needed to have a great evening with Family and Friends! Oh, and get some of their Jerky too!

I am obsessed with the goat in the garden wrap. I have been coming in for it every Friday during lent and I always look forward to it. I probably will continue the practice! They are always so nice and set one aside for me if I call ahead or offer to make one if they don’t have any prepared. Every other day of the week I love the turkey jerky too. I also like that they highlight lots of local products in the store. The store is very clean and put together but is not snobby or stuck up at all.

The white bean and chicken chili I just had for lunch was amazing. This has actually become my go to place for lunch. Consistently delicious!

The Childish Gambino and Spicy Bob sandwiches are just perfect... and the seafood corn chowder has been sent down from Heaven. Great place. Always fast and they are super nice. Do not mistake this for just a liquor store!!

Great little party store. Good selection of beer, wine and liquor. I really appreciate that they carry lots of local beverages too.

What's really underappreciated is their food. I believe they make most of it all in house too. Daily hot lunches, tacos, soups, salad bar, sandwiches, wraps, jerky, Hunter sausages (yes, all homemade) and when your timing is lucky, they have amazing ribs and the sauce they serve with them is the best I've ever had.

Best jerky ever! Did I mention brats too!!

Matt and his staff did a great job helping us plan the type and quantity of alcohol we needed to order for our son's wedding this June. They got everything to the venue set up and ready to roll. They even let us take the unfinished keg and tap to our cottage for the next day to finish up with friends and family at a picnic we had. Great service, thank you!

I Really love this store. It was my first time in and they had everything i was looking for, the staff was friendly and i was even prompted by the nice lady at the counter to offer any or all suggestions for meal items they make fresh in house - how cool is that! Definetly making this a regular stop! 5 Stars plus

Been the best place for beef jerky for over 40 years, stop every time I come back and never disappointed!! They also have a good liquor, wine and beer selection

Stopped here for some quick eats and drinks to take back home.
Made a new friend and had good recommendations.
Had a second visit and had 2 very nice ladies help us out.
Great service appreciated and will be back in the future :)

This place is amazing. A true local fixture. Fantastic food made fresh on site and a great selection of beer and liquor

The jerky is amazing! Worth a stop, lunches are great as well.

I stop here and get their Cherry Turkey Jerky every time I'm in Traverse City. The great little secret about this place is that they have an amazing little deli too.

Great sandwiches, Jerry and cold beverages.

You know, there is no shortage of party stores in this country. And this is just one more on the list.

...If it were not for the MOST AMAZING TURKEY JERKY EVER!

Seriously, better than any beef or venison variety you've likely had. People have this mail ordered as far as Florida! Go get some.

We love this place. The selection is great; the staff are lovely; the food made on-site (to take home or for a picnic) is delicious. Dock Side is so much more than a party store.

Best party store ever. Wonderful owner, wonderful employees, great selection of beer, wine, and spirits, PLUS yummy food. :) You have to go here if you need to stock up on necessities for adventures.
