Pouring rain. A group of nine was accommodated. The seating is not designed for comfort; it uses round barstools with no backs. So you hunch over the table. Sometime in the past, the owner of this place was very Chicago-centric; thus, the decor was Chicago-themed. I ordered their fantastic conch chowder and a fish sandwich. They will cook the fish any way you want it. I had mine grilled. The fish was fresh, moist, and very good. Of note, this is a cash-only place. With a group of nine, I hit their ATM pretty hard. Nice of them to have the ATM on site; otherwise, we would have had to leave. read more

We stopped here on the way to Naples on Tuesday. It looked like a cool spot to take a break, have a drink and enjoy the views. We didn't order any food. We ordered from the outside walk up bar. We tried some local beers and sat near the beach. We enjoyed the laid back beach vibe. It's cash only, but they do have an ATM onsite. read more

The food is always very good and the setting is unique. I can even handle the cash-only policy. I cannot accept the policy that they won't split checks for large groups. It is a very poor policy and should be changed. The restaurant is certainly in a better position than the customer to add up the cost of food, drink, tax and tip. I have been going to Doc's for over 40 years and this latest visit with the customer-unfriendly policy put a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Doc's Beach House is a staple beach bar in the Bonita Springs area. This beachy, dive bar is all Chicago themed with sports memorabilia, painted murals and framed photos all over the walls. The downstairs has two larger dining room where the upstairs is a large bar area. There's plenty of tv's to watch sports games and enjoy a casual atmosphere. Out back, you are steps from the beach to enjoy the gulf or a nice sunset. When visiting, my group got a round of drinks. They serve straight forward items like beer and wine as well as some specialty frozen drinks. I got a Miami Vice and my husband got a local craft beer. Both had great flavor and were quick to be served. We didn't order food but saw other guests orders and pizza is the go-to here! Chicago Style Thin Crust with different topping options was that choice of over half the tables. Their pizza special was a Meatball Pizza which looked delicious! What a fun bar where Chicago meet Florida! Great for any local or tourist visiting the area. Tip: They are cash only but do have an ATM for use upstairs if needed. Pro Tip: There are two parking lots on each side of Doc's but finding a spot can be tough. They do offer Complimentary Valet parking but be ready to wait a bit to get serviced. read more

Stopped at Doc's after a couple hours on the beach up the road. Parking was a bit tricky but doable. They do have a valet. We found a table on the beach, placed our order inside. The did portions were great for the price. Our group had the fried clams, cheeseburgers, fish tacos (had a bit too much cilantro), and chicken tenders. Everything was good including the mozzarella sticks. Compared to other places we had been this trip, the prices, serving size, and quality of food were great. It is cash only. There was plenty of seating inside or outside. It's serve yourself outside but looked to be wait staff for the inside. Try a frozen drink. They're pricey but good. We would definitely return. read more

Love Doc's, have been visiting several times every season even when they were barely open during recovery from hurricane Ian, great to be able to get some cold beer right on the sand under a beach umbrella. Remember it's cash only. Food is good too - clam strips, shrimp and fish tacos, chicken nachos, etc. read more

Stopped in as a 6 top for some drinks and snacks on a Tuesday afternoon. Indoor- Outdoor-Upstairs and Down Casual atmosphere. We ventured upstairs and found some empty stools. Bar is Beer and Wine only. Bartender was friendly and attentive. We ordered appetizers of chicken fingers, cheese sticks and fries. Also found their bar and t-shirt shop outside along with beach side tables. Great place for a few with friends. Enjoy! read more

Drinks only. Seriously the only cash only place I still know. Wake up, you're doing your servers a disservice. Dogs on leash welcome on outside tables. Didn't eat due to cash . read more

We stopped by the spot outside the restaurant just to grab some drinks. They also offer simple snacks like hot dogs and popcorn, but we were only there for beverages. We ordered one virgin piña colada, a Miami Vice, and a beer- all hit the spot. Just a heads-up that it's cash only, though they do have an ATM on-site. They also mentioned that the restaurant inside is cash only as well, so come prepared with cash. read more

Best Jamaican jerk wings around. I get them extra crispy without being dry and extra jerk seasoning , super juicy and flavorful! They are a cash only restaurant/bar. Parking is a nightmare, but I usually call ahead, pick them up and head to the beach. read more

Got a chicken Philly from this spot called Doc's Beach House, it hit the spot. I sat at the bar and had tap water along with my chicken Philly. The service was cool and hospitable. The WiFi didn't work during my visit and neither did my cell phone service so this spot must be a dead spot for cell service atleast with T-Mobile it was. The Philly was flavorful, came with chicken, cheese, peppers & onions. I added buffalo sauce, they have various sauce and condiments behind the bar. It's right by the beach and would love to try it again on a warm and not so windy day. Parking appears to be mostly valet but there is a paid lot beside Doc's also. read more

Oh my goodness this trip to Docs was fabulous. We got the best table in the house! The food (fish sandwich) was cooked perfectly. The views and breeze made the whole lunch perfection! The hostess was lovely, service was prompt and nice. I am so glad I gave it another try!!! read more

Doc's Beach House - The view! - Seafood Near Me - Bonita Springs, Florida

I was excited to finally get a chance to try Doc's. We went for dinner, our wait was not too long. It is your typical "beach food". The cash-only policy is always a bit surprising, I can understand how it would be difficult for the people visiting on vacation. The overall rating is for the price we paid and the quality of food - just average and probably not a place a local like myself would go back to. read more

Doc's will do for a beer, beach eats or some Chicago favorites. Parking is public parking and runs out really fast. Doc's runs with minimum staff so gotta order inside and they call you when food is ready. Outdoor, indoor and upstairs seating available. We sat outside, enjoyed the sun, some peel and eat shrimp (large shrimp) and a Blue Moon or 5. On the way out I grabbed a Chicago Beef sandwich for the road (fantastic). Over all I would say it's standard beach fare with a Chi-town twist. You're gonna pay for the view. read more

Well, we really did want to like it, but sadly it was a fail. Their clam chowder was very good, but my husband's Italian Beef and my chicken Philly were both very bland. Even the cheese was bland. Plus cash only, which is like wow...ATM available, of course; for a fee. Won't be returning. read more

This place is busy right on the beach and the people are so friendly It's cash only and the parking is crazy It's a takeout for the beach dwellers and also a sit down restaurant The prices are reasonable We both ordered the Chicago hot dog with neon pickle relish mustard a pickle onions celery salt Unbelievable so yummy It was worth the drive read more

Great location if you are hanging out at the beach. Cash only, but they have an ATM machine. Enjoyed the clam strip basket $17.03. French fries crunchy. Only thing that was a pain, they cooked both clams and fries in same basket and dumped into to go container...I had to separate clams from fries, to share with others. read more

HUGE BEARS FAN! that's why i came to this place because i figured id get an epic Chicago dog but i end up getting a bootleg wish.com dog....seriously...BOOOOOOO. BUT the Italian beef was EPIC FYI!!!!! If you want a Chicago dog got to Matt's Red Hots read more

Parking is Tough!! but GREAT BEACH SPOT!!! Grouper Sandwich was delicious!! My wife got grouper fish sticks that were tasty but too much breading. My cousin got clam basket and ate every last bit :) This place is right on the beach and many folks are staying for hours so the parking is very challenging. I figured we would wait in line for a while but got a table immediately looking onto beach. Servers were both good natured and fun. Food came pretty quick and all was good. It is a very casual beach shack so totally casual. I would definitely return for the food and beach access!!! read more

Went for breakfast. Cash only so be prepared. Right across from the condo we stayed and right in the beach. Not too loud mid morning but gets super busy. read more

Eat elsewhere. Service was terrible. Many employees were there, but only the bartender appeared to be working. In fact, our server spent most of the time eating her own meal. One person just stood by the bar. I'm unsure what his role was supposed to be. If it was standing, he crushed it. A masterclass in standing. On a 1-10 food quantity and flavor was a 2. Prices were shockingly high for a 3. Italian sandwich, three pickles and a small bag of Lays chips. Perhaps during the day this is a great spot to hang out and have a beer. Thinking further, even the draft beer (plastic cup) was not even a pint. There are many wonderful, other choices. read more

If I took it over!! That is the only way that that's gonna improve. Because nobody needs to be told to have cocktails.Nobody needs to be told to have good food.Nobody needs to be told to have a credit card machine.If you're a business owner and you don't know these things, you have no business being in business.. There's a way to make cocktails with wine.Did you know that? I can make a whole array of cocktails with cordials?You don't need a liquor license for that, so get with it mister.. read more

You can't get any Better than Doc's Beach House! On the beach with a cold beer ! Don't expect the Ritz but if you want great bar pizza and beer & Wine it can't be any better. Cash only but on site ATM . Not high society but good people serving you and a fun atmosphere! Go or don't more room for us! read more

Very touristy. Location is key. Rude server right off the bat. Stopped in for breakfast on Saturday morning at 8am. I went to the restroom upon arrival to wash my hands. Husband sat down at a table next to the windows with seating for 6. I walked up to hear the (senior aged) server tell him to move because there was only two people in our party. I would have completely agreed if it were busy!! There were 4 other people in the restaurant at the time. Regardless, we moved to a section with a more pleasant server and ordered the special which was eggs Benedict. We ate, paid our bill and left for the beach. The time was 9:05 am. Two more couples had arrived during our stay. Hardly enough reason to tell us we should move to another table because it would be crowded. We won't stop in again. It's very average in terms of quality of food and obviously the staff. Their location is what keeps them around. read more

Clean, prompt service, delicious food, and the main draw is the location! We were there for the beach activities and were very glad for the use of their restrooms. For a place with premium location, the food was not outrageously expensive. Would definitely eat here again. There were multiple seating arrangements from outdoor by the beach, indoor with ac to a back area that was more cozy and relaxed. read more

Being from Chicago I got excited when seeing a Chicago Vienna hot dog on a sesame seed bun on the menu. Great, ordered the dog and received a hot dog on a stale bun with a hot dog that I seriously doubt was a real Vienna. Lobster bisque soup left a lot to be desired. Also, ordered a beer and received it in a small 12 oz plastic cup. Totally disappointed, won't be coming back any time soon. read more

TACO TUESDAY!! I recommend for sure, we got the special and we got one of each flavors-beef and pork! VERY tasty and not small! We had a little gal take us to a very nice window view and a nice gal serve us. It was as exactly what you expect from a beach food/bar and yet homey. You can tell this place has regulars which is a good sign. We have valet service which is funny because parking was slim pickings. Very nice place. It was my second time, but since I'm a yelp star I'm giving it a review! 5 read more

Stopped in for lunch during a recent vacation and liked what we had. A few of us got the burger and a basket of fries and we all enjoyed them. Service was fast, as well. Worth keeping in mind, this is a cash-only place. They do have an ATM on site, though. read more

Fish tacos and black n blue burger were extremely mediocre. The fish was fresh but the tacos were flavorless. The burger was covered in a runny blue cheese sauce and crispy. Fries were excessively salty. Have a drink for the view and eat somewhere else. read more

Great place right on the beach. My favorite is to grab a drink and go sit outside. This time we went for a Miami vice frozen drink -- so good and refreshing. Lots of fun people watching here and they offer valet parking in their lot. The service is nice and we've returned many times, knowing we will have a good time! read more

Doc's was ok. Obviously this area has suffered through a couple of hurricanes lately, so I really don't think I got to see this restaurant at its best. The outside tables are fantastic for the view, but you order through the take out line and bring your food to your own table. Inside tables looked like they were full service. Breakfast menu is pretty standard fare, nothing super exciting to try here. But you came for the view, remember? read more

great view, right on the beach, but the chicken sandwich I ordered had no taste I could tolerate, but getting the heal of the piece of bread i did not like.( I don't eat it at home and I don't want it at a restaurant) Very disappointed. read more

Had lots of good Italian Beef all around Chicago. Doc's was by far the best!!! Can't wait to try the pizza

Doc's is great, they've come back strong after 2 hurricanes in the past few years! They have a great location and great pizza. It's a beautiful place to catch a sunrise or sunset. I've heard they have good breakfast too. Also nice to get a drink by the beach read more

They only accept cash!! No other forms of payment were accepted both times we went. The food is terrible! Fish is frozen, underneath all the gross breading was slimy, tough, un-edible fish. The reviews also say pets are welcome but that too is a lie. Pets can't even be inside in a pet stroller. They don't have a liquor license either so all drinks are wine based. This is probably the worst beach restaurant around. I'd make a drive to Ft Myers or Naples to eat, don't waste your time here. read more

Breakfast here is below average. Service is fast and views are perfect, hence the three stars. read more

This place is always busy when we drive my on Saturday afternoons. We stopped for lunch today, Thursday. Patio dining with great ocean views. They also have indoor dining n the 2nd floor with great oceans view from their big picture windows. My husband had the half pound of big cold shrimp with cocktail sauce. I had the BLT triple decker sandwich that had generous portions of crispy bacon, sliced tomatoes and lettuce. All good and tasty. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Valet parking, otherwise lot paid parking on both sides of the restaurant. Glad we were able to enjoy the restaurant without a big crowd. read more
