    First trip here on way to Destin. We tried the chargrilled oysters and hush puppies. Oysters decent. Hush puppies amazing. Unfortunately the oysters didn't sit well with me and I became ill but my boyfriend was perfectly fine, I think my stomach is just a bit too sensitive for the spices. Probably won't return just because food was meh and staff weren't overly friendly.

    Great food with great views. However, this is my third or fourth time visiting and the workers are not very friendly. Aren't they supposed to be;)?

    Doc's Oyster Bar in Valparaiso... Meh. Checked out Doc's on a Monday night for dinner, as the reviews were nearly all 5 stars... While it wasn't bad, I didn't think it lived up to all the hype. Doc's has a prime location right on an inlet and has super chill beach bar vibes, but I'd call it more of a run down local dive bar... Not anything wrong with that, but not really my thing. The food was alright ($15 for 6 oysters the size of a dime was laughable), they have a good draft beer selection, and the service was really friendly... Albeit I didn't like the service model though - No servers, you had to go to the counter to order both food and drinks. I can see this place being slammed on the weekend and service being a complete nightmare. All-in-all, not bad but not my favorite place in town either... If you like a local dive bar with decent food and well-priced drinks, check out Doc's.

    Oyster dive bar near the base. Great ambience, and good oysters. You place all orders with the bartender and they bring you food to you. Thursday nights are karaoke nights.

    Freshly shucked Louisiana oysters

    Been there three times and the fresh shucked oysters never disappoint. Staff is friendly, drinks are nice and cold. The scenery is awesome. Can't wait to visit again.

    The last time I was in this area, I loved this place. It has a cozy old bayou feel with a multi level deck over looking the water. Parking really sucks. You order at the bar and the food is brought out to you by a number. They have added a new bar space with makes it bigger. The interior is all sea based with lobsters, big spear fished fish and even a big ole shark. The oysters were good. The Mahi Tacos were good. I had Doc's beer which was not my favorite. They have a decent selection of bourbon. It was trivia night so it was getting crowded as I left.

    There are great views at this quaint water-front oyster bar. You order from the counter, are given a number, and can sit wherever you like. We had a dozen raw gulf oysters as well as grilled. Prices are pretty fair, and they have a happy hour on drinks

    5/5, no complaints. I was in town for a few days and decided to get take out my last night. Great decision! I got the blackened fish basket. Good amount of fish and the sauce is amazing. Next time I'm in town I'll be eating here again. Hard to beat it for the flavor and you can beat it for the price.

    Voted worst parking on the Emerald Coast 5 years in a row. Great exercise if walking from the front lot....which you will.

    The food was traditional southern seafood with an additional bonus of being on the water!
