Mahi Tacos & Chargrilled Oysters
Joe K.

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.

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;)?

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

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.

Ice cold Yuengling

On business travel on Father's Day so tough sledding on a Sunday and finding somewhere open. I had targeted Doc's from the start as I love fresh seafood and wanted see what they had to offer! First off the directions were a hair off if using Yelp app. Took me to the establishment right next to Doc's. From the outside, it is definitely a dive bar but a cool location right next to water. The weather was crazy hot even at 7:30 so I decided to venture inside to place my order and grab a seat - picture is pretty neat. My Yuengling was fresh and served icy cold! I decided to skip the oysters as I had no idea what they looked like... I went with the Fried Green Tomatoes and the Mahi Mahi fish basket. Loved the bang bang sauce on the tomatoes. The fried baby shrimp were also a different touch. The tomatoes were fresh and thick cut so it played well and loved the added hot sauce I threw on. My main order was the Mahi Mahi which I ordered blackened. Order came with a spicy ranch and two hush puppies with fries. The fish was absolutely awesome. Flaky and seasoned well. The fries and the hush puppies were also great. Definitely could need finish everything. While sitting at the table, I was able to see the flame broiled oyster and knew I would be back for a quick lunch before heading to the airport. I tried the oysters three ways. The tequila lime cilantro, the jerk with rum butter and the three cheese with jalapeños! I honestly loved them all. Hope my ventures on business brings me back to the Eglin area! Enjoy the pics...

See all
