Wait time to be seated wasn't terrible. Service was subpar. Waitress looked irritated when my MIL asked for a to go box. The Ahi tuna poke nachos were the best thing I have ever eaten in my entire life 100/10 for me. Overall, I would only go again for the nachos. read more

Our server Courtney was the best! Food was delicious even tho the 7oz filet mignon was small for the price. She really liked the stuffed crab and the beer was tasty! They do not have the best fried shrimp in the entire civilized world however I would still recommend read more

Nice place and good service but the food is mediocre. At 73 I've eaten a lot of shimp and docs claim that he has the best fried shimp on the planet is way off the mark. Greasy and no better than a B- wife's white fish and coleslaw same. My second and last trip. Way better restaurants in OB. read more

First off went in 45 before closing which I was nervous about but it was my first day in Orange Beach and I wanted oysters so bad. I planned on leaving a big tip to make up for it. Walked in everything I can disregard. But this bartender was a grade A C U Next Tuesday. She was rude to the staff and especially to us. I can forgive alot but this girl was so MEAN it's been naming me. Only stars are for the oyster shucker. Ruined my first OB oyster experience. Will never go back. read more

Food isn't as good as we've been told at the new Foley restaurant. Fish was tough, wife stated her shrimp was greasy and overpriced. I'll stick to Wolf Bay or Fish River. read more

Go for the Gumbo and Fried Shrimp. Our favorite location is the original on Canal Rd in Orange Beach

This place had good portion sizes, but all of the food was bland (sides and everything).

The service was phenomenal everyone was so kind, and our server made sure we had what we needed will come again read more

Family visit on our gulf shores trip. Service was awesome and food did not take long at all! Our oysters on the half shell were very small, but dinner was perfect. Definitely recommend the stuffed crab, fried oysters, and fried shrimp. read more

We ordered to pick up as it was right across from our condo on the beach. I was craving clams. Ordering online was easy and the order was ready quickly. We were pleasantly surprised by the fried shrimp. And my husband loved the gumbo. We did not dine in so I cannot let you know how the restaurant's ambiance would be for dining in. Would order again if we wanted something quick and deep fried. read more

Enjoyed a good meal with friends & family to celebrate an engagement. 4 orders of fish were great, 2 fried and 2 grilled , all great. The grilled shrimp were fabulous. Two steaks were good but definitely over priced for what you got. The hamburger was like a fast food burger.. thin and not very tasty so definitely over priced too! The waiter was good but definitely too friendly. ? Dude. He definitely upsold everything, without telling you that everything was extra. And 2 of us ordered salads for sides and they came out only after we asked bc thru weren't served before or with our food. Enjoyed the atmosphere outdoors and there was live music as well. We have eaten there before at lunch and the specials are great! read more

We went to docs for dinner to try the best fried shrimp in the universe. that is what the billboard said on the highway. they did not disappoint us. The dinner was great. Large portions, tasty menu selections, and friendly servers. My only complaint is that they serve Swia or basa fish. that is the trashiest fish on the planet. My server agreed and suggested I try the blackened trigger fish. Wow it was unbelievable. We returned later that week and had another great dinner. Best wait staff in gulf shores. read more

The food was overpriced for the quality of the meal. We were disappointed. Order rosters on half shell. They didn't come out until after our meal was delivered. Service was ok. read more

Food was great, waitress was so nice an attentive dispute being busy! Ambiance was just so so.

This place advertises that they have the best fried shrimp. So I had to try them and I agree! I have never had fried shrimp this good!! Everything was good and so was the s read more

Great seafood, the lunch specials and good prices on those, good size portions. Service was friendly and efficient. We were able to take our little dog on the patios, they even offer here a pup cup and water. read more

Had lunch at the Orange Beach location - from the excellent customer service to the delicious food , the decision to eat at Doc's did not disappoint ! At first I was a bit disappointed knowing that their lunch special for Mondays did not include their "famous" fried shrimp. However , a trifold ad on the table displayed several options that included 6 fried shrimp and the choice of a side and slaw for $13.99. Adding gumbo for $2.99 was also an option so YES add the gumbo it's some of the best in town! Full of shrimp and dark delicious roux! read more

Poor Doc...this was definitely not his night. Our party of 4 was seated immediately and then it was downhill from there. Too many issues to go into detail but it appeared our waitress was struggling. Some issues were: -Appetizer came after our food. -Waitress forgot to enter 1 entree from our party so she waited while we ate. -We were missing 1 side and all condiments (cocktail, tarter sauce, butter) when the food came. -We were never offered refills and 1 member never got any water. -Fish was barely warm and had little taste. -Fans were blowing so hard we had to anchor everything on our table. I know they can do better because we have visited before and had good service. Disappointed for sure. read more

Are here and REALLY enjoyed the meal. Everyone enjoyed the meal. (When a party of eight is unanimously happy -it's a home run!) I did the fried fish. CJ did broiled fish. Someone done Grouper. Another did the Shrimp. Off the hook. Good service and great food. The broiled fish was AMAZ-BALLS! Loved this joint! Didn't get any pics -sorry. read more

We are in town for vacation and had a large party. They were able to accommodate us and provided great service. Everyone enjoyed their food. Great place to try when in town. read more

This is our second visit here and they did it again awesome job. Rob came out to speak to me about my special needs for my food restrictions and even delivered my food. I thought that was very awesome and I really appreciate it. read more

Food was alright not enough crab options. Very fun place games and indoor store and live music. Service was good although very slow getting the bill. read more

Took my 2grandsons and their 3 friends to Doc's on Wednesday and had Josey as our waitress! She did a fantastic job with all of our different orders. The food was delivered very quickly and was very good. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Picture taken after I had cut into the baked potato! I love Doc's and have eaten here on multiple occasions. The crab cakes were a bit burnt on this trip. Can't brag enough about the fried shrimp, though! Our waitress was super kind and quick. We sat outside and listened to live music! read more

Oysters where 'meh'. We all got Chopped steak and I believe because the overall pricing for other items was just too high. I got filled up but the overall price to food vs food quality was really not there. I don't plant on going back. If I am getting oysters it's Oyster House or Flora-bama (Char Grilled) are the bomb. Bubba's might have a niche, but the best fried shrimp isn't Here (O.H.) Flora-bama - Coconut Fire (appetizer) is unbelievable. Even my wife who doesn't like shrimp will eat that! read more

Doc's Seafood is a legendary name in this area with a 34 year history proclaiming the "Best fried shrimp in the entire civilized world." Doc's Seafood Shack has been in the same location but several years ago Doc's Seafood and Steaks opened up more recently with the same famous shrimp but with steaks! :-) I've had their shrimp on many occasions so I thought I'd be that guy who goes to a seafood joint and orders a steak. (Should be okay here) We treated a Boston friend to dinner here recently and everyone was happy, even me who is pretty picky when it comes to steak. My honey had the crab cakes, that she very much enjoyed, I tried them and they were a little fishy for my taste, but that's just me. I had the Kansas City's Best, which is a 12 oz New York Strip which is aged 29 days with a loaded baked potato and rolls. The steak was lightly seasoned and cooked perfectly and I did enjoy it, with just a little too much fat and sinew but overall I enjoyed it. Our friend opted for the Super Seafood Platter that had fried shrimp, oysters, stuffed crab, fish filet, with french fries, coleslaw, and hash puppies and he was very happy with his choice. Bottom line: The atmosphere, service, and food were all good and we will come here again. https://www.docsseafoodandsteak.com/ read more

Just picked up gumbo BUT wish I had ordered it online where it asks rice or no rice. Just emptied out the rice. Not sure why they didn't ask if you want it or not but will make sure I don't forget that next time it definitely was added on the top. I am a no rice gumbo gal. read more

Simple menu with shrimp and some seafood platters. They do offer a burger that I have had and was pretty good. I like their shrimp and their gumbo is some of the best. read more

The most basic seafood for being at the beach. Only fried fish option was basically a catfish. Not impressed at all. Waitress was not very friendly. Cool if you like live music but other than that it wasn't anything great. read more

:45 minute wait, but we went at the busiest time. Restaurant was behind on cleaning up. Lettuce and cracker wrappers were in some of our seats. Various debris around on the floor. Waitress was very nice and patient. We all got iced tea ($3 each) and she brought and left a pitcher. Almost everything is fried on the menu, we were told the fried fish was swai, which I'm pretty sure is imported from Vietnam. halfway through the meal, I wish I had split with my wife. Lots of fries, big portions. Only one visit for us. read more

Busy place, but for the OG Docs, it was running like a sewing machine. Food was good all around. Stuffed crab wasn't great, but had a good flavor. I compare all stuffed crab to Middendorf's in LA. Service was on point. They were rolling peeps in and out! Good job. read more

Spring break peak and we had great service! Best food and drink in Orange Beach! Price was also right. Wish we had ate there earlier in our trip, so we could have gone multiple times. read more

Great ambience. Shea and Josey were friendly, helpfu, and kept us fed and full of tea. Fried fish was freshly, tasty and delicious. Fried oysters were juicy inside and crunchy outside. Gumbo was very good with just the right spice. Cole slaw was flavorful and crisp. Overall excellent meal highlighted by miles of smiles from Shea and Josey. read more

Honestly I'm only giving this 5 stars because our server was just that great. We had Kaci T, She was really friendly, attentive, and gave really good suggestions. The food wasn't terrible but not also the best. I got the fried fish which came with fries, coleslaw, and 2 hush puppies. They gave you 3 big fish filets which had a decent flavor on them. My mom got the pick 2 and got the fried shrimp grilled shrimphe said it was pretty good read more
