MARK was very professional, personable, brought everything over in a timely manner, helpful with the menu choices and a great sense of humor. He's a great asset to the restaurant. Once again, thanks Mark! Great talking with you as well...... Doc Ford's is always great over the many years and comfortable sitting outside on the patio. We all enjoyed everything we had. Will be more descriptive later but wanted to get this review on time as I promised it to be.

I order grilled shrimp tacos which had jalapeños for heat, special jelly for sweetness, and a special sauce. Shrimp was grilled to perfection and the taste of it all was wonderful. Husband ordered a burger over a salad. The salad had so many ingredients I can't even remember but the flavor of everything came together beautifully, culinary magic. I would describe this restaurant as stale casual. Was excellent and we will definitely return again.

There was not even an outdoor seating area to sit and eat at. The manager suggested we take our food as a carry out. Not exactly a relaxing dinner to look forward to : small hotel room, no table, two dogs! There were, fortunately, chairs outside the restaurant and we did carry out our food and ate there. We had double bacon sliders and All-American burger. All were delicious. Especially good were zucchini fries. I would recommend adding a dog permitted outdoor seating area.

We came for lunch just before any rush. We were seated right away…read more I was happy to see that they're "back" and reopened. We came here many years ago and enjoyed their food. The place is casual, rustic, and come as you are. Got our drinks pdq. We decided to share a combo pot. But after some soup. Got the conch chowder. It came in a large, pretty plastic conch "shell". It was slightly spicy, but not much. In fact, there's hot sauces on the table if you need more heat. There was a nice amount of ground conch pieces in a tasty tomato based broth. It was big enough to share, btw. Then we got their combo steamed pot -- 1 dozen clams and 1 dozen oysters. This takes awhile to cook as we knew it would. So if you get one of these, order soup or an app while you're waiting. The clams are the cedar key ones. Small but tasty. We didn't use the melted butter, but asked for cocktail sauce instead. The oysters -- which you have to shuck with the provided knives -- were wonderful! I'd probably get all oysters next time. In the bottom of the pot are celery and onions which you can also eat. So glad we got to come here and enjoy lunch. We will be back next time on island.

The atmosphere was so fantastic and we loved looking at all the pics. Our waitress was the absolute best. We think her name was Kelly. We got calamari and Shiahito peppers. They were so amazing. We got grouper tacos, classic hamburger, fried grouper and shrimp, Parmesan oysters and chicken wings. We all gave five starts reviews! We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

The food was still amazing and the place looks the same with minor changes since the storm. The disappointment here is the front end. They hired a very childish boy as a hostess. Flamey and rude. Very dramatic and rather than trying to help people ( such as locating a restroom) he spews a very long story about where it is instead of pointing to it two feet away. He was talking and laughing about a customer when I came out. I presume me I only needed to wash my hands. He's lucky I didn't tell him off but I didn't want to let him ruin our evening and have my husband hear. He's ( Anthony) a little punk though.

The bartender Carla was our server and she did a great job with a full bar and several tables adjacent to it. This was the first night of our vacation, so I know we'll be back before it's over.

While we didn't get food, the people around us seemed to enjoy theirs. If we return to the area we would definitely give the Shack another shot!
