    Blackened Red Snapper over rice.
    Joe T.

    One of my favorite places on earth, and I have reviewed it several times in the past, but not working in CC anymore I only get here during Sandfest. It was a chilly, overcast day so none of the standard beautiful sunny views, but the food was as good as ever. I almost always get the special, and this day was no different. I had the blackened redfish over rice, and it was fantastic. A couple different local brews and some great company made it a complete day.

    Blackened Jerk Snapper

    My dinner here was great. The fish (a blackened Jerk Snapper) was cooked excellently and had good flavor. The seasoning and texture of the green beans was great, the fried shrimp were top notch and the rice was good too! Problem was just how long everything took even in regard to the estimate (waitress said our food would be out soon, but it took about 20 more minutes). This would be not so bad if the place had air conditioning, but me and the rest of my party were miserably hot - it's a given in a place like this. If you're going when it's cool out, I can recommend Doc's all day.

    Sunset!

    We arrived for dinner around 6:15 pm for dinner on a Friday night. The parking lots and street was packed! I went in to get on the list while my husband parked the car. I was greeted at the horses stand by 4 very lovely hostess that greeted me with great enthusiasm and eagerness to help me! I was told there was going to be about a 40 minute wait as they were quite busy; she handed me a beeper and we waited outside on the deck! There is bar downstairs, so you could wait down there until your table is ready. We were seated within 25 minutes. The food selection was fantastic! We ordered the blackened shrimp nachos to share and we split th crab stuffed flounder. The portion size of both items was more than enough for both of us! We did not finish ll of shrimp nacho dip. The food, the view and the service was OVER THE TOP! It was well worth the wait! Look forward to coming back! I attached a photo of our view but my food pictures were deleted by mistake! Trust me, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

    Fried shrimp plate

    Stopped to eat at Doc's Seafood & Steaks on the trip home from Port A. The parking lot was full and the restaurant was very busy on a Sunday night. We were able to find parking and were greeted by the host. We were seated quickly with no wait and got a large booth in the dining area to accommodate our party of 7. It was too dark by the time we got there for us to enjoy the beautiful view. They had a live music performance which was enjoyable. The service was very friendly and attentive. Was very engaging with the kiddos at the table and a very friendly demeanor. I have to say that this time around the quality of the food was not as good as I remember. I ordered the Coastal bacon wrapped shrimp, 6 jumbo shrimp stuffed with cilantro lime cream cheese and wrapped in applewood bacon. The specialty side was squash and zucchini and a side of rice. They did provide me with a butter dipping sauce upon request. The shrimp was a bit overcooked and chewy and they were also a bit smaller than I remember. The kids in our party had a cheese burger and grilled cheese kids meal with apple sauce. When the grilled cheese sandwich came out and the kiddo did not want to eat because it was greasy and shaped like a circle; the server took it back to the kitchen to address the concerns. Also ordered the fried shrimp platter, 8 shrimp hand-breaded in panko and comes with fries, slaw, and hush puppies, tartar and cocktail sauce . Also had the catch of the day platter with mahi mahi served with rice and the vegetable of the day. The Costal cob salad with chicken includes fresh mixed greens with pico de gallo, cheese, egg, bacon and avocado. Over all a good dining experience with attentive and friendly service. Just wish the food had been on par with the last visit.

    And back at Docs. My little one loved the kids flounder, and I had the the Ahi tuna. Delicious! We started with hush puppies which were so good - not greasy at all. Docs is always a class act

    Crab Stuffed Flounder $28

    This place offers great food with stunning views of the sunset over the water. It can get busy, so expect a wait. If you have to wait, you can always head downstairs and hang out. They have a bar down there and a couple of games to play, like cornhole. I will warn you, though, parking can be really tough for dinner - even parking on the street can be hard to find. They have live music on most nights, but I'll warn you, sometimes the performer in the dining room can be a little on the loud side and just a tad annoying - it's not absolutely terrible though. They offer a decent selection of local and regional beers, but none on tap. They also have a full bar for your favorite cocktail. They have covered outdoor seating on the deck, but you can still see the sunset from inside if you are seated in the right area. When I was there, they had the big doors open, so a decent breeze was coming in, and you could see the sunset. The crab-stuffed flounder was my favorite - it's a must try! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Great service and food. Went on a Friday evening around 5pm and they were too busy. Got a seat outside on the patio and they had additional fans going to help keep it cool. Grant, was the person who assisted and I got one of the specials - Parmesan crusted redfish. This was amazing! The crust on the fish was crunchy and gave a nice contrast to the delicate fish inside that was cooked perfectly. The sauce on top was equally delicious and the only negative was it was a shrimp sauce however there may have been one or two pieces of shrimp. So, that could have been better. The green beans were seasoned well and the rice also flavorful. The restroom was sea decorated and a different set up with a split stall, one right by the entrance and the other on the far side with the sinks in-between. The views were great! Overall delicious food and good service, I'd recommend to pop in especially if you can make it for the sunset, has to be amazing.

    Seafood platter
    Gabriel R.

    Docs Seafood and Steaks is an absolute must if you're in Port A! We came just in time to catch the sunset, and the atmosphere was incredible, relaxed, coastal, and the perfect way to end the day. The service was fantastic too, quick, attentive, and super friendly, even during a busy season. I ordered the Parmesan Crusted Snapper, and wow, it was huge and absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily a dish I'd get again. The rest of the table had the Fiesta Burger (with a veggie patty), a seafood platter, and the mahi-mahi, everything looked amazing! For appetizers, we tried the hush puppies and Wisconsin cheese curds, and those cheese curds are a 10/10 must-order. But the real star for me? The clam chowder, creamy, rich, and so good I'd come back just for another bowl. I'm definitely giving this place a four out of five, for the only reason of being the veggie burger had a little too much soy, and the fries were a little dry! But that is no reason to not come! This place is amazing! If you're looking for great seafood, friendly service, and an unbeatable view, Docs is the place to go!

    Hanging with the guys, drinking and having a great time

    If you're looking for seafood that'll make you question why you ever settled for frozen fish sticks, this is the spot. I went all in with the Seafood Lover platter: 1 flounder fillet, 4 shrimp, and a crab cake fried so perfectly, Gordon Ramsay himself would have shed a single tear. The shrimp? Honestly, I'm convinced they trained for the Olympics before they ended up on my plate. Now, the margaritas. I started with Doc's Margarita and thought, "Hmm, this is kind of weak." Fast forward to the last sip, and suddenly I'm smiling at strangers like we've been best friends since kindergarten. The Skinny Margarita, though? Hands down the winner-light, refreshing, and sneaky in the best way. Add in some great live music, an atmosphere that says, "Yes, order dessert, you're on vacation," and a waitress who deserves her own fan club. We had such a blast that we broke the golden rule of vacations: never eat at the same place twice. Yep, we went back the very next day. 10/10 -highly recommend. Bring stretchy pants.

    Grilled coconut shrimp. 6.20.2025
    Jenni M.

    Doc's Seafood & Steaks was the place my brother saw on the JFK Memorial Causeway Bridge (which becomes Hwy 358 headed towards Corpus Christi) and told our group of 11 he wanted to have dinner there. Once again, another long wait for dinner, but not quite as long as they estimated. I didn't know which area to choose, but downstairs was packed so I headed upstairs to get my name on the list. After dinner, my dad complained, "They had a shrimp boil special downstairs." Everyone seemed to enjoy the food - even my vegetarian (sometimes pesco-vegetarian) sister-in-law. I wasn't crazy about the live entertainment that night (June 20, 2025), but I have heard much worse. It was hard to carry a conversation because it was fairly loud most of the time. Our waitress was great, but of course I don't remember her name. The manager came by and checked on us - he was friendly also. It was refreshing to see more than just fried seafood on the menu, so here's what I ordered: + grilled coconut shrimp + Doc's paloma RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 4

    Mermaid Water & Mango Sunset
    Jessica G.

    Love stopping here on our way to and from Port A! Always with several family members, they accompany our big group really well each time. The beers and different cocktails are our favorite reason to visit, although the food is a close second! Service is always top notch and we leave happy & full - a big win our book!

    Susanna C.

    This is a go to spot for beautiful sunset views! We timed our arrival with this in mind. We ordered a few appetizers, which were ok. The clam strips were not as crunchy as we would have liked and the ceviche dip was a bit watery. The steak, while a bit overcooked, was nonetheless my favorite meal. The tuna sandwich was a nice surprise with a huge piece of medium rare aji tuna steak.

    Genille R.

    We came for the food and the views. Highly recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I appreciated the fact that on a Monday evening, they still have a musician that play live music for us. Nothing better than dining waterside with a cocktail and live music.

    Do they take reservations? I hope the restaurant is still implementing covid safety measures! Thanks!

    You really need to check directly with Doc's. They used to take reservations only for large groups, and they were observing protocols in early February, but who knows now? Stay safe & enjoy!

    Is this place pet friendly?

    Lots of dogs.

    Found this little local shop for lunch on Yelp and definitely wanted to give it a try while we were…read morevisiting Corpus Christi. It definitely did not disappoint. Pulling up into the parking lot, we got extremely lucky and saw a few people walking out; otherwise this little parking lot is completely full. The shop itself is also pretty small, basically a hallway down the entire unit, with a bar on the left and a row of small tables on the right. There is some outdoor seating available as well. We ordered lunch to-go, which was pretty quick and easy, as our order was already prepared when I arrived and I was able to use Apple Pay. I noticed their packaging was very nice. We ordered the Philly Cheese w/ pasta salad, the Teriyaki Salmon w/ mac 'n cheese, and also Ahi Tuna sandwich w/ the soup of the day, being broccoli and cheese. My Philly Cheese was tasty, but on the salty side. My bride absolutely loved her Ahi Tuna and the kiddos enjoyed their Teriyaki Salmon. Overall, the food was excellent (but it is pretty pricey). We definitely recommend this spot in you are in the area.

    Staff could've been a bit more friendly to us, which were newcomers. No greetings, no telling us…read morewhere to order, etc. Not very tourist and newcomer friendly to me. Once we found out where and how to get our food, my goodness, my pork BBQ sandwich is probably the best I've ever had. The pork itself was very tender and excellent when it came to thickness, which was the perfect amount; not too thick, not too thin. However the real star of the show was the bread. It was wanting to stick to the paper because it just couldn't wait for me to devour it. The softness and texture was next level. I have no idea what the hell kind of bread it is, but I need to know just about now. I would definitely come back if I lived here.

    A cute establishment with delicious food and fantastic service. Everything was fresh and tasty…read more There was also a full bar which with a nice selection.

    My family of 9 decided to give this place a try. We called around 7:00 PM to check the line, and…read morethey told us the wait would be about 30 minutes, which we were totally fine with. We arrived just nine minutes later at 7:09 PM, but the host was missing from the stand for a solid 10 minutes. When she finally showed up, she told us the wait would actually be an hour and a half. We weren't seated until around 8:25 PM, and after ordering, we waited another 15 minutes for our food. Because the restaurant closes at 9:00 PM, we were literally the last people there. ​However, the front-of-house chaos was completely salvaged by the rest of the experience. Our server, Danielle, was amazingly kind, sweet, and incredibly awesome! On top of that, the food was absolutely amazing, tasty, and served piping hot, with 1 of the hurricane combo being really cold. My brother couldn't finish it. And the steak was dry, and needed more flavor. I will say the chicken tenders were ginormous and very juicy. The atmosphere was also great very comforting with nice, beachy vibes. ​The Verdict: A incredibly frustrating wait and a rough start with the host, but Danielle's stellar service and the fantastic food made the night worth it.
