I wish I could give it more stars. Quick and friendly service!! From what my daughter and husband say they do have the best shrimp the known civilization. My daughter and I had the crab claw dinners and they were delicious. I would definitively recommend. read more

Not what I was expecting at all. Server was bad! Would not recommend or be back. Manager did come to table and we'll there just was nothing that we needed. He made the statement that because we ate half he is taking half off bill. Time to go! read more

Food was good. It was really busy, we waited about 30 minutes to be seated even though they told us it would be about 45 minutes. So not a bad wait for us not having a reservation.The place was really packed but we got our food really fast and the service was were good. read more

Ended up getting a strip steak, they don't carry sirloins. Steak was tough and over cooked and lacked flavor. My husband definitely enjoyed his seafood but the rest of us at the table that had other items from the menu wasn't impressed. Service was good though. read more

We came here for our 39th anniversary supper. It was a great meal and great service. These folks do great work. Thanks all. read more

We had some great food at Doc's last night. My friend said the fried chicken tasted like her grandmothers chicken. I had the shrimp and it was the best I had on this trip. Hunter was hilarious and an excellent waitress. read more

After being on the beach for days and seeing the banner for Doc's "best friend shrimp in the entire civilized world" we decided to give it a go! Let me tell you, we were NOT disappointed! The friend shrimp was fresh, crunchy, and delicious! The atmosphere was relaxed and laid back. While there were many other groups waiting, we got in quickly and the service was great. 10/10 recommend! We will definitely be making a point to return next vacation. read more

Walked into the establishment and was overwhelmed with the smell of fryers. Food was over priced and not good. Service was missing. Skip this place read more

Underwhelmed would best describe my experience. Doc's was recommended to me by a friend who ate here some years back. And I unfortunately followed the recommendation for my family's "Big eat out night" at the beach. I can sum it up pretty quick, nothing fresh, everything frozen. The only house-made thing on the plate was my foil wrapped baked potato. Very expensive for the quality but that's expected from a tourist trap spot. I'm sure their fish/shrimp are cooked to order. Good service earned an extra star. read more

Amazing food. My family loved going. we weren't so sure about the overall review but turned out AMAZING Service was spot on. food came out in a jiffy. So tell your friends about this place I promise you will love it. read more

Doc's is your typical tourist restaurant that overpromises and under delivers when it comes to food. I got the fried white fish with fries. The fish was over cooked, and not impressive, the fries were good though since they were basically the only thing that was seasoned. Service was pretty quick and our group had good things to say about their Bushwhacker drink. Everyone else's reviews of their food (including the shrimp where they claim to be the best-of-the-best) was "meh", I don't think anyone from our group was wanting to go back. read more

Familiar with the older location on Canal Rd. This is the new location in Orange Beach along the main highway Clean and new inside. Short wait on a Friday evening. But we were seated quickly. Service was good. But the food was average. Prices were ... above average (putting it mildly). It's hard to mess up fried seafood, and Doc's has cashed in on this. As a local, I don't have to work hard to find an oyster po' boy, but finding an $18 oyster po' boy takes a special eye. (Un)lucky for me, I have that eye. Found it! Borderline CRIMINAL charging $18 ("market price" according to the menu) for 8 pitifully tiny fried oysters on a store-bought bread roll with stale lettuce and a flaccid tomato slice. Add crinkle cut (read "frozen") fries on the side and you have the epitome of "phoning-it-in" for a seafood restaurant which stays comfortably inside the limits of "safe" in terms of imagination and creativity. By that, I mean they have approximately ZERO of either. Only po' boy here was me. $18 for a sandwich, indeed. I didn't come for steak, but sheesh.... Bring some serious cash (like Ruth's Chris cash) if you want steak. $35+ for a steak at a fried seafood restaurant seems... excessive. Just my thoughts. Basically a tourist trap. Would love to think this was good, but they are gouging you. Many other places out there treating tourists (and locals) with a bit more dignity and not charging $2 per oyster with a side of supermarket bread. Skip Doc's. I will. Ugh. Shame on you, Doctor. Shame on you. An absolute disgrace. read more

Was skeptical , we came after learning our planned place to dine was a 2.5 hour wait.. We were sat in 25 minutes. Chad our server was phenomenal! Will the manager who helped him( he got sat multiple tables at once) was a outstanding guy! Definitely would recommend the salad and the fried shrimp! Will suggested the mango colada and it was very good. We will definitely visit when we are in the area!!! read more

Doc's had a great atmosphere! Our waitress Courtney made our experience fantastic! The food was mediocre and priced on the higher end, but Courtney made up for what the food lacked. Highly recommend Doc's for an appetizer and a drink. Great atmosphere coupled with top notch service! Thanks again, Courtney! read more

This is a review of a new location for Docs. The fried shrimp is probably the best fried shrimp I've had in orange beach. The shrimp appears to be hand battered and is so yummy! This location has outdoor seating and corn hole games. I split a combo of shrimp and fish with my wife. We had plenty of food, but next time I'm getting the shrimp dinner for myself because its that good. I haven't been to the other locations yet, but I'll probably come back to this one since I had a great experience, the food was good, outdoor seating, and it was nice and clean. I highly recommend this place for the fried shrimp. I've heard the gumbo is good, so I will try it next. read more

Food took 40 minutes to get there, the service was bad, and whilst waiting they had music up really loud. Lost appetite, and threw up. Disgusting read more

I ordered the Mahi Mahi and baked potato which was delicious. My husband ordered the pick three. Fried fish, fried shrimp and grilled shrimp which was also delicious. The hush puppies and fries were great. read more

It was good! We went at 5:30 so a little before the supper rush. We had a two year old with us so the game area outside and the fast service were much appreciated! My seafood platter was really good. Food came very quickly and was hot and fresh read more

Although the wait can be a little lengthy , it's our go to when visiting the area . Food is always fresh, service is friendly and attentive. Love the outdoor area. read more

My first time staying in Orange Beach and this was our first restaurant of the trip! A Yelp recommendation that didn't disappoint! Tim had the Mahi Mahi, blackened, and I went with the white fish and clam strips. But the item of the night was the crab claws! Perfectly seasoned and paired with the remoulade sauce made them to die for! This is definitely a must-return-to restaurant when we're in the area! read more

We were weary about this place because of reviews BUT do yourself a favor and go! It was soooooo good!! Service was fantastic! Food was hot, beer was good !! Definitely recommend trying this place out!!! read more

Oh my, where do I start? I was so looking forward to Docs after reading all the good reviews about the fried shrimp. I ordered the combo two dinner - -the fried shrimp and grilled fish. The shrimp was just marginal (not much taste) and the grilled fish was cold when it was delivered to the table. Also pretty salty....I suppose later I'm gonna swell up like a giant toad! I guess the plastic containers with a spit of horseradish were for you to mix ketchup with it. But the horseradish had been sitting outside and wasn't cold. The baked potato was also cold. Quite honestly the best part of the meal was the beer....and it WAS cold. Everything was quite over priced for a meal that was on par with a Captain D's! Sorry Doc, but I can only give you two thumbs-down! read more

Service was slow and non caring. Some of order didn't come out we had to ask for it. Fries and clams appeared to be poor quality grocery store food. Sent them back. Poured own tea, got own crackers off cart left near by. Looks nice from outside and very crowded. I guess they rely on one time visitors not knowing. read more

Great seafood with a great outdoor environment! They have a small outdoor play area with bag toss games! Get there early though if you don't want to wait. It's a popular place to eat! read more

Had a very pleasant experience at Doc's Seafood and Steaks! Had about a 1 hour wait which I expected on a Saturday night. Once we were seated we were waited on promptly, our waiter Drew promptly got our drink orders and quickly brought them to our table! I ordered air blackened Mahi-Mahi and it was excellent, one in our group had boiled shrimp Cajun style and another had stuffed crab, all had excellent taste and cooked perfect. Can't say enough good things about our waiter he was very knowledgeable and attended to our needs. The only thing that kept our experience from being a 5 star is the cleaning crew started cleaning the restaurant in our area before we left. Sweeping and cleaning the tables around us! Which is something I would not have expected to happen. I know it was late but guest were still seated! Other than that the dining experience was excellent. I would recommend this rest to anyone who is looking for a good seafood place in Orange Beach! Once again thanks to Drew for his excellent service! read more

The food was basic and the service was adequate... here was the kicker... the kid's souvenir cup was "an added charge" per the waitress... she should of said it's $16 plus $3 for the beverage being ordered. Yea that's $19 for a child's drink We won't be returning! read more

Had the ribeye, baked potato, fried shrimp and Mac n cheese. The ribeye was the best I've had in a restaurant in a long time. All sides were good. The shrimp is amazing. Great service and the music wasn't terrible. read more

Doc's was a nice place with the beach atmosphere and our server was very nice. Now the fish that my husband had and my shrimp both were over cooked. read more

Tried Doc's in Orange Beach after hearing it recommended but our whole party was disappointed. The service was poor and the food was "over hyped". They served hot baked potatos with butter and sour cream packets on the side and just a fork to spread it. The crab dishes were either too spicy or mostly breading. The fried shrimp was tasty and while pretty good definitely not "best in civilized world" but might be in rural alabama. Our waiter was not helpful when asked questions and brought the bill to the table just after we got our food, apparently to hurry us along? This experience felt like truck stop food at NYC prices. We're never coming back. read more

The food was cooked to perfection. They really do have the best fried shrimp. I'm absolutely am crazy about shrimp and these are worth the drive from anywhere. The rest of the menu is also great. The service was great. The ambiance is what was expected from a bar and grill. Overall it was the best bar and seafood grill in the area. read more

Service was excellent! The only reason I give 4 stars was because the grilled shrimp was seasoned with lots of salt! I love salt but it was a little more than I would like! My family had fish and crab cakes and they were delicious! Drinks were tasty too! read more

Worst food i've ever had in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores. Coleslaw, Hushpuppies or my Drink were the best thing on my plate. My mom got the Mahi Mahi and it was so dry she couldn't get her fork through. If you get something here, it better be fried but even that was about a 4/10. So many better places if you want to spend more than $100 for 3. read more

My wife and I got shrimp dinners which were both good. My daughter got oysters and thought they were great. Generous portions of cheesy grits that were very good and a great salad bar. I'd definitely return. read more

Really great shrimp and fish. Live music was a bonus and most importantly pet friendly porch area. Family oriented activities

We visited here as soon as we made it to Orange Beach, and I was not disappointed!! The food was superb. We shared the Super seafood platter & omg chef's kiss!! The catfish was absolutely bomb. I ordered a Long Island Ice Tea, babe grabbed a Corona. If you're in the area try it out !! Oh they let you make your own cocktail sauce yummy! read more

Docs was within walking distance from our go to so we decided to give it a try. We had their world famous fried shrimp and it was delicious. We started with the seafood gumbo which was very good & we had the shrimp loaf Fun place for fresh seafood, love the sweet tea with personal pitcher for refills, the cocktail sauce is a "make your own" at the table, which was interesting? It's close to the beach & we had Good service read more
