Came here for dinner with work colleagues. Get the pink lemonade. Delicious. The Texas egg rolls and the seafood queso were phenomenal. Didn't have anything left. Entree was great. They also have specials. Everyone who ordered the steak couldn't stop talking about the seasoning and how it seemed like it had a crust. Also we got different desserts tres leche, key lime pie and fried cheesecake. None of us had a bad thing to say. We've all decided we're coming back before we leave. read more

Great farm raised oysters. Loved my bacon-wrapped shrimp. The other entrees at out table looked excellent as well. Ambiance was fun. Only gripe was that my drink was watered down by the time it got to the table... all the drinks were very slow. read more

Doc's Seafood and Steaks Nice location. Great food. Perfect view of sunset. We drove all the way from Michigan to have fun and enjoy the water. Great escape. So far, this place has the best picture of the sunset. Highly recommended read more

Ambiance was the only thing great about this place. Food was frozen not fresh which is no bueno being right on the Gulf . Service was slow , drinks were not good can't make a blue hawaiian drink taste like lime , there is no lime ingredient in this drink. The fried shrimp was frozen and spongey , the bacon wrapped shrimp was overcooked , no cream cheese like advertised , the Fish was overcooked. And for $185 for family of 4 way overpriced. Save yourself a trip and go next door to Snoopies the shrimp basket was fresh shrimp not frozen, beer was Cold not Luke warm like other and @$85 family of 4 better deal and fresh out of the Gulf !! read more

Between Docs and Snoopy's, we choose Docs. We just felt the atmosphere was nicer and the air flow was more comfortable. Our view of the sunset perfect. We started our meal with fried clam strips and a half dozen oysters on half shells. Oh what a great way to open the meal. They have some wonderful drinks too. I highly recommend the Costal Cooler. Next we had the seafood lover plate with shrimp and flounder. This dish was excellent. Then we wrapped up the meal with key lime pie. Having enjoyed key lime pie in Key West, I have never found its equal, sadly this was no exception. Although my wife liked it, I found it just ok. Our waiter really made our visit enjoyable. If you see Aidan, tell him we said hi. Go and enjoy your evening and I hope you get a great sunset. read more

We stopped in for a Valentine's Day snack between doing a "Selena Crawl" (museum - Mirador de la Flor - Selena's Star on the Texas Music Walk of Fame) in Corpus and heading to Horses on the Beach. We loved reading about the restaurant history and Doc's military accomplishments. We only ordered a beer, Mermaid water (great), the ceviche appetizer (good), and the shrimp po' boy (awesome) w/fries (really good). We wish we could have eaten more but we were pressed for time and afraid to eat too much before an hour and a half ride. If we get to return, I'm definitely ordering their fried shrimp dish. The lady next to me ordered it and it looked delicious! The shrimp were huge! Our waitress was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. If we make it back to South Padre, we'll definitely have to stop in again and try more menu items. read more

TERRIBLE!! DO NOT COME HERE!! They have employees that stand around and laugh when there is an hour wait time. Don't want to see that ‍. Try SNOOPYS NEXT DOOR. MUCH BETTER!!! read more

Dinner was good as always. Portions always good Thought the hush puppies appetizer is just a tease and often Ned to order more than one Sunset even more so read more

Easy and fantastic! When I arrived I learned that it would be an hour wait to dine inside but they have a fantastic super easy to go window where you can place an order and they will bring it to you outside downstairs which is where I really wanted to sit anyway? The food was delicious and could not have been better. I've had coconut shrimp many times but not grilled the way they prepared them and I really enjoyed it. read more

First, the atmosphere was perfect. Fun and loud and the sunset was beautiful. Live music was great! Next, the service was amazing. Our server had the happiest smile and was quick to take our order and make sure that everything was perfect for us Finally, the seafood was delicious. My husband had the blackened redfish over rice and vegetables. I had the fried shrimp platter with hand cut fries and Cole slaw and hush puppies. Yummy on all accounts! We thoroughly enjoyed Doc's on the beach. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere! I had the coconut shrimp and hubby had the seafood platter and we had the seafood queso as an appetizer. No complaints.

Doc's Seafood & Steaks - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Great place, highly enjoyed the meal we had here. Our service was somewhat slow but friendly. Like most places in the area they do what they can to move air through but it's a bit warm and also the beer tends to be like warm which is always a let down but seems to be the norm for most restaurants in Port Aransas area. read more

Good service, kind people, the food was delicious. They have all kinds of food for different tastes. Only thing was it's super hot and fans were not pointed in any good directions for our party. The Vida Cana Hurricane was delicious! read more

My mom loved the food and the ambiance she loves watching the boats pull up I loved the drinks!

The waiter we had was fantastic - quick and attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and drink offerings. The restaurant was loud but it was due to the live music, which was excellent. The food was below average. I had the shrimp po' boy, which was fine. The sweet potato fries were very good. My wife had the bacon-wrapped shrimp which were not great, especially for the $26 price tag, and the rice and vegetable side was horrible. The beer was good but nothing was on tap - everything was brought in a can with a chilled glass. Overall the experience was below average and if not for the live music we would have had a 100% negative experience. We will not return, especially when a superior competitor is literally within walking distance. read more

The Fiesta Chicken was amazing! Even during peak hour, we only waited about 30 minutes. The service was fast, friendly, and fantastic. The staff kept everything moving efficiently, and the food was definitely worth the wait. We'll definitely be back! read more

A return trip to Doc's was overdue - by 3 years, but luckily, we finally made it back this weekend. After 3 years, their food quality has remained consistently delicious, maybe even better than before. I ordered the fried shrimp Platter and just made a pig of myself. Every bit of the fried goodies on my plate was eaten - even the French fries, and it was huge serving! My wife still does not like eating seafood and opted for a burger - just like before. Our other eating buddies ate the fried shrimp platter as well and we were all gobsmacked happy! And yes, the fried cheese curds from Wisconsin appetizer was delicious as well. The service was excellent. All these young and energetic servers were friendly and well-trained. Their smile was contagious and were efficient to serve the food and drinks. Both young men and women who worked there were pleasant looking. The colleges in the area must be a good source of workers for this restaurant. They employ a bunch of these kids. The restaurant was jumping when we were there. Back in late 2021 when we were here last, the pandemic was still keeping people from eating out. Not this time - the parking lot was packed just like the tables in the restaurant. Overall, the ambiance is as good as I remember. The view of the bay is outstanding. The view plus the excellent food, that's a combination that's hard to beat. This restaurant has now joined my own personal of must-go restaurants I have curated through the years of eating out! read more

Long wait time and the food is not horrible but very sub-par and not worth the wait and definitely not worth the price. Tourist trap 100 percent. Very upsetting to not have a better meal than just going to a fast food establishment. Basically a Bubbas but 2 to 2.5 times the price and poor care to the food. Had the chicken fried steak, overcooked, over breaded and dry. Potatoes were actually great and staff were also. Food, no and there were 5 of us, not one was pleased with the quality on price. Go to a local place here. Cheaper and better. read more

First time visiting Corpus Christi, and we wanted to check out a local spot--Doc's Seafood & Steaks. The location had a nice vibe, and the view was great, which set high expectations for the food. I ordered the Seafood Platter with Flounder, fries, and hush puppies. The fries were definitely the highlight--hot, crispy, and well-seasoned. Unfortunately, the hush puppies were overcooked and dry, which made them hard to enjoy. The biggest letdown was the flounder. While it was cooked properly, it lacked any real flavor or seasoning. I was really hoping for something more flavorful, especially at a seafood-focused restaurant. Also, the only hot sauce options available were Sriracha and Tabasco--not ideal if you're looking for something more traditional or with a better flavor pairing for seafood. Overall, the experience was just okay. Great location, gorgeous view of the ocean, and solid service, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. read more

Visiting from out of town for a work conference and this place was recommended by some of the local attendees. Place was pretty busy for a weekday and they had some live music playing as well. Overall, Food was good, but it did take awhile to for our food to come out and our waiter was practically nonexistent. He claimed it was a busy night and they were short staffed. The most positive thing I had were the hush puppies. read more

Doc's Seafood & Steaks - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Doc's is our must stop each time we're in town. We've even driven down from San Antonio just to eat here. My parents request to go each time they visit, as well. Being right off the water, you can literally stand at the dock and watch the fresh catch of the day being unloaded of the boats directly into the kitchen. You'll also see pelicans and other seabirds gather around this time, too just waiting for someone to drop a tasty fish. The entire back of the restaurant is glass that opens to the outside sea air so no matter if it's nice or stormy, you can watch the wildlife and sealife in and around the canal. The drinks are strong yet tasty. The food is wonderfully fresh and well prepared. R special each day had never let me down. The service is always so friendly and attentive. It really is just a joy to be here. Oh, and try the house made salt scrub provided free in the bathroom. Your hands will thank you! read more

I wished I could have give a zero star. I purchased to takeout, flounder stuffed with crab meat yesterday, paying over $34 dollars. Doc's definition of stuffed flounder is having sliced flounder at the bottom, crabs meat ( although it didn't taste like crab meat, maybe because it was really dry), and slices flounder on the top. It was peppered, maybe to hide the taste. It was bad. Heads up visitors to this Corpus Christi restaurant, you don't get what you paid for. read more

Went by the reviews and decided to check this place out. I was a little disappointed in the food overall. We started with chips/salsa and that was really good! I got the seafood lover meal which was all fried shrimp, flounder, and crab cakes. I thought the overall seasoning was lacking. It all was just battered/fried, no flavor. I'm glad I had tartar/cocktail sauces. Wife got the 12oz ribeye. Flavor was good but definitely not worth $38. Lastly, son got the tuna tacos. He liked em so that was a win there. Our server was good and friendly. Not sure we'd return for the price we paid ($120 +tip) and not really blown away. I was kinda let down after saving our last meal on the island going here. read more

Great service! Great atmosphere. We ordered oysters on the half shell and fried class both good. Crawfish stuff flounder very taste Crawfish Shrimp flounder with green sauce. Bacon strapped shrimp. Excellent sweet tea. All three very good. Modest price. read more

From previous experience I know better, but, some family members insisted going for the view. Our waitress was over the top giggly and friendly, and my apprehensions were explained when it took 3 to 4 times repeating everything to her. First beer served in a can, second in a glass, different brand. ordered broiled, got blackened, other guests orders and drinks wrong, or servers gave wrong food to us. The biggest issue for me was to discover that my credit card was being used to buy drinks on a fishing charter the next day, that I was NOT on. I spent a considerable amount of time resolving false charges, after closing my charge account. Ill eat barnacles and drink bilge water before I will ever go there again. read more

Well, we waited an hour and 20 minutes for our order to be served! And then, some of the entrees were served luke warm (granted we had 11 in our party), but still - an hour and 20 minutes to receive our meals which were just ok. I really really wanted to like Doc's, but I just can't give it a good review. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, prompt service, and they have fried clams which is what brought me in. The clams were perfect, I understand the oysters were too, my redfish with poblano cream sauce was delicious. Green beans a little too "mushy" consistency for me, but probably just personal preference. We also enjoyed the dessert. Enjoyed the experience! read more

I visit Corpus Christi two to three times a year, and every trip includes multiple meals at Doc's. It's hands down my favorite waterside seafood spot--quintessential coastal dining. The food, service, and atmosphere are consistently excellent. The wait staff is always friendly and attentive, and I can always count on finding a fresh, flavorful fish dish--either on the main menu or featured on the specials board just inside the front door. Oh, and while I'm more of an Old-Fashioned or bourbon guy, their frozen margaritas are a must. Don't skip them! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more
