Where do I start? The most amazing part was the food ! Being gluten free not by choice I felt safe and able to enjoy the whole reason I went and paid money to eat ! The red fish was so good after eating lunch we returned the next night for dinner. Lori was our server for dinner when we returned... ask for her and definitely chose the red fish. The only better red fish I have eaten in Texas was what I caught and my husband cooked read more

I called earlier in the day to ask about allergens in the food and got a half answer. "I asked around and they didn't think the food has dairy in it." We decided to try to eat at Doc's anyways since we could find enough allergy safe foods. Our waiter and the manager Chris were extremely understanding and helpful in picking menu items that fit within our diets! And the food was still really good! We had live music going which was a bit loud for my preference but he was good so it was ok. read more

My husband and I loved Doc's! And would highly recommend it! I had the Parmesan Crusted Redfish with Laguna Shrimp Sauce. My husband had the Crab Stuffed Flounder which was Broiled flounder stuffed with blue crab and topped with poblano crawfish cream. Both were delicious! The service was excellent also! Our waiter (Carson) explained the various meals to us prior to ordering and checked on us throughout the meal! Even the manager was visiting all the patrons to make sure their meals were good! I wish I had taken a picture of the meals when they were served - the presentation was enticing!! We definitely want to go back while we're still here! read more

Our waitress Ally was amazing! She had a great personality and made dining at Doc'a fun! The food was amazing and always is very tastey there! Only thing I would say is that food took a while to come out, but they were slammed busy. read more

Food and service were amazing! We've eaten at a few on the water restaurants in this area and this one is by far the best! The view was great. We sat in the middle of restaurant and was still able to see the water! 5 out of 5! read more

Finally got to try this place, went for lunch about 1130 am right before the lunch rush on a Friday, got a perfect table with the best views! We had quick and friendly service and we were all definitely happy with our food! The fish was perfectly fried and crispy, shrimp was so big and plump, and it's the Tartar sauce that completes the meal for me and this one was great! Overall great fish and shrimp place with great views, we'll be back for sure! read more

I never miss a chance to eat at Doc's Seafood. Last visit I had the Red Fish. Slap yo Mamma good. Seriously, I have been to Doc's 4 times over 3 visits to Padre Island area. Everyone is friendly and efficient. Live music every time I've been there. Portions are great. This place is casual and a must visit when you are in the area!!!! read more

Fair for a Gulf Coast Seafood Restaurant. It is very hectic and makes a quiet meal not possible. Not much ambiance. Shrimp seemed fresh but I've had better. Wait staff did a good job with our big crowd. read more

We had an area in the outside bottom level reserved for my nieces wedding. The size was perfect, food and music were great and the view was beautiful. We had a great time and although it was a hot summer day, they had fans going and the layout of the restaurant allowed for the breeze to flow. We had a wonderful time. read more

It was really good the waiter liked my uncle's hat, he was nice. The green beans were really good, I haven't ever had better ones. The potatoes were yummy. The meal was large. It has cool seats with open walls. The chicken was better than hill country fare, it wasn't too salty. They gave us to go boxes too. read more

On her Birthday we did go out for Breakfast, but I'll skip all the way to her 'Birthday Dinner' at "Doc's Seafood & Steaks", Tuesday Night, which overlooks the Bay and was recommended by several Foodies when I inquired about where to eat. We arrived at "Doc's" and walked up a lot of stairs in front, were greeted by the Hostess and shown to a table that overlooks the Bay - nice view but we decided to back up a bit and sit more inside for more shade - but it still had the same view. Doc's is like eating at a Huge Covered Deck on the second floor - it is Open Everywhere with fans blowing to help keep you cool creating a nice breeze. Beth is our Server and we ordered our drinks. Beth stated that they have no Draft Beer any more, but do have some good choices. My Wife and Joe are having Miller Lites and I'm going with a Hefenweizen. While we waited for our drinks, we looked over the Menu and enjoyed the view. Beth stopped by and we chatted about the menu items and North Padre itself and informed her it's Nancy's Birthday and we are out Celebrating. Our drinks arrived and we toasted to Nancy's Birthday - Happy Birthday Baby. Now it's time to order. The Birthday Girl is having their "Grilled Coconut Shrimp"; Shrimp, Pineapple & Red Bell Peppers drizzled with Pina Colada Cream Sauce & topped with Toasted Coconut. Served with Doc's Rice & Fresh Seasonal Vegetables. Joe is having the "Fried Shrimp"; Eight Hand Breaded Shrimp in Panko, served with French Fries, Slaw, & Hush Puppies with Tartar Sauce & Cocktail Sauce available. Joe also ordered an extra Slaw. I am having their "Yellow Fin Tuna Tacos"; Three Grilled or Blackened (chose grilled), med-rare, with Shredded Cabbage, Avocado Baja Sauce, Pico & Mango Aioli. Served with Doc's Rice & Fresh Seasonal Vegetables. Nancy saw the Dessert listings and was interested in the "Fried Cheesecake"; (it's Texas, they fry everything in Texas) Cheesecake wrapped in a Cinnamon Tortilla, Fried and topped with Vanilla Ice Cream & Chocolate Syrup. She informed Beth that's what we want for our Dessert. Orders are in and it's time for more Beers. Doc's is getting a little busy but our food came out pretty quick - and each plate is filled with a Very Nice Presentation of Deliciousness. My Wife's 'Grilled Coconut Shrimp' is served on a couple of skewers - nicely surprised. Cannot tell how many Shrimp are on there due to the Coconut Covering of both Skewers. She LoVeS Coconut Shrimp and said that these were really good and is a different way of enjoying one of her favorites. The Asparagus was their Vegetable and we both agreed that this Asparagus was some Perfectly Seasoned and Tenderliciousness. Their Rice was also Very Fluffy and Flavorful. Joe liked his Fried Shrimp, was Tasty and a Nice Crunch. My 'Yellow Fin Tuna Tacos' were a surprise for me. I LoVe Tacos and Fish Tacos are something really special - and these 'Yellow Fin Tuna Tacos' were in a catagory all by themselfs. First of all there is a lot inside each of these Tacos and they are the Most Flavorful Fish Tacos of any kind. HUGE is an understatement - these things are Monsters. They suggest 'Med-Rare' and I debated on that and was going to aks for 'Medium', but their suggestion was Perfect. We all enjoyed what we ordered and now it's time for Dessert - the 'Fried Cheese Cake'. Beth stopped by and we requested the dessert and she said that Nancy will also get their Birthday Dessert, the 'Key Lime Pie'. Okay, that sounds great - ya gotta love two-desserts. In a couple of minutes Beth brought out both Desserts, and the Key Lime Pie one was served with 'Happy Birthday' all around the pie. This was a Beautiful Presentation of Dessertliciousness - Nancy is Very Happy. Don't know if the size of the 'Fried Cheese Cake' is the same or not, but we have Two Fried Cheesecakes with a large scoop of ice cream. The Fried Cheesecake is really good but when cutting through the Fried it messes up the Cheesecake - but the flavor is still there - a nice Crunch of the Fried and the flavor of the Cheesecake is Very Good. Now for that 'Key Lime Pie'. You hate to mess-up all that Beautiful Dessert & Writing but one must do what one must do - and we did. This Key Lime Pie is one of the Best you will Every Enjoy. I am not a total Key Lime Pie Person, but this one is The BEST. Strong on the flavor, fluffy yet thick - don't know how they did it but the texture is Perfect - and that Crust. This is One Amazing Key Lime Pie. We had a great time at Doc's Seafood & Steaks Celebrating my Wife's Birthday. Doc's was a Great Choice - Thank You Foodies. Beth was great and earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-and-beyond' the norm. Check them out on Facebook. If you are ever in North Padre Island, "Doc's" is a Must Stop - the Food is Really, Really Good Stuff. We returned to the Condo and enjoyed more Beach Walking, the White Cap Waves and picking up seashells. It's a great time of year to Celebrate read more

If you like fried seafood this could be for you. I just happen not to. I go because my family and friends love it and I love them and the view is stellar. It's clean and the service is on point, so that's good, right? read more

Food was gross and the service was average. For a tourist trap bar I would think they would try a little harder to please their guests. We arrived 1/2 before closing so I get they wanted to close, however they sat us so they should accept we will be there as long as it takes. Due to the massive amount of mosquitoes they had a fan blowing and turned it off during our meal. We were eaten alive. I had the Caesar with added shrimp and it was just okay. For a SEAFOOD restaurant - they didn't have many fish options. Just yuck. Find somewhere else to eat. read more

Service was flawless. Restaurant had a beautiful view of the water. The strawberry basil lemonade was made with all fresh ingredients. We got the watermelon tuna appetizer, catch of the day (Parmesan crusted redfish with green beans and rice), and the seafood lover. The green beans and rice were delicious. The appetizer was nice and light. The fried shrimp and French fries were the star of the seafood lover platter. Would definitely go back. Still thinking about that strawberry basil lemonade 10/10. read more

This was a great experience! We had a very large group (19), but they were welcoming! Got us settled in a reasonable wait and our waitress was terrific! The food was really great - I had grilled coconut shrimp that was delish! Usually I only see coconut shrimp fried, so the grilled was cool. They had a wonderful sauce and grilled peppers and pineapple with - highly recommend! read more

The food was awesome. We had three different meals including the seafood queso. It was all delicious! I absolutely loved the bacon wrapped shrimp and coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp was the best I have had. It was not fried. The service was great and we were in and out quickly. It was a great view and I hear a wonderful sunset if you are there during that time. read more

Stopped by Docs for an early dinner with my family. Service was very fast, efficient, and the staff members were friendly. The ambiance is great you're right on the waters edge and can watch the water. They also had live music! The food was not bad. We got the chips and seafood queso for the appetizer and it was pretty tasty. I got the stuffed flounder and some pieces of the fish were over salted. My daughter got the kids meal substituted for grilled chicken and it was really good for a kids meal. My husband is a burger guy and got the burger and said it was a pretty basic burger. Definitely try the chips and seafood queso and the hushpuppies! read more

A locally popular tourist trap. Everyone we talked to while perusing the beach area and checking into our hotel while on Padre Island suggested this place. Very popular and very busy that just got busier as we visited. We were craving a steak and seafood so this place made sense. We ordered the New York strip and grilled shrimp was accompanied by some red potatoes and green beans. Everything really tasted fine and was cooked correctly and to order. Flavors were there and the amount of food was more than sufficient for the two of us to share. Service was adequate but nothing special. Atmosphere was decent, but seemingly touristy. It's all about the view. So stop by but also consider other establishments in the area. This can't be the best food around. Dicks read more

First time here while vacationing in Port Aransas. Recommended by a friend and so glad we came. We had The CATCH of the day. Crab stuffed flounder with Remoulade sauce, green beans, roasted red potatoes. Everything was DELISH and waitress was spot on! We'll be back. Bonus ..... we were there for Tequila Thursday. 5.00 margs read more

If you are looking for a spot that has a great view and good food, make your way to Doc's because you are in for a treat. Located right in the water and with open air seating, you can look out on the water and enjoy a beautiful view while enjoying your meal. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and there was a short wait, however once we got seated our waiter was giving us great care. We ordered drinks and an appetizer and it came to the table quickly. The chips and salsa had a little spice to it but the chips were wonderful. Sadly the drinks tasted water down and had me questioning if there was any alcohol in them (and my guest isn't a big drinker and she also mentioned this). So the fried shrimp was delicious! Cooked to perfection and tasted wonderful. We loved the fried fish as well however the crab cake was not our favorite. The coleslaw lacked seasoning as well, but still an overall great meal. They also have live music so nite that this place can get a little noisy, but in a great way! read more

Park in the lot and go up the stairs, or there is a handicap ramp. Solo dining for lunch, pretty humid today with a perfect breeze flowing through the dining area. Very clean, as the birds try to get in and steal food from unaccompanied tables. I was seated facing the sea, I didn't want to go patio, it's been raining off and on this morning. Beth was my server, she was top notch! I ordered Calamari because I'm from the Midwest, we don't get seafood like coastal communities. Nice and crunchy, so good. I asked Beth what her favorite dish is and I ordered it. Tuna steak burger. With fries and a cup of clam chowder. Plenty of food, I had to take the rest with me. read more

One of my favorite spots for a long, long time. Food, atmosphere, views, service. All 10/10 if you're down in corpus check it out!!

First time here and definitely not the last. We had the fried shrimp platter. The portion size was plentiful. Their chicken fried steak was big and tasty. My husband had the tuna burger and he swears it's the best. Their flounder was nice and fresh with lots of flavor. Their drinks are good. But, the entertainment was the best. This guy sings everything. read more

It's been years since we've been here, and I remember it was a popular spot for both tourists and locals alike. We came here on a Thursday evening, and the live music was playing. We started with the oysters Rockefeller which just melted in our mouths with pure deliciousness. One of the sides we definitely recommend are the red, roasted rosemary, potatoes. The wife loved her grilled mahi, and I had the fried sampler plate. However, the crabcake that came with my meal was very doughy and to be honest, unpleasant. Everything else was very much on par flavor-wise. Annie, waitress was very attentive and informative. It's unlikely that this place is going to win any Michelin stars, but they do what they do well for a reasonable price. read more

Not truly dog-friendly -- very misleading. They advertise as dog-friendly, but unless your dog is a service animal, you're not allowed to sit upstairs or even order food from there. We were told to go downstairs to order and eat, which was frustrating and embarrassing. Nowhere on their website is this made clear. If you're going to promote a dog-friendly space, be honest about the limitations. Fix your website and stop misleading customers. read more

Excellent service at the bar & ordering food to go. We had fried shrimp basket was ok but the fries were the star. Thick & great seasoning. We had the bacon cheeseburger & asked for it to be well done (no pink) & it was cooked perfectly. The bun was super fresh & overall a great burger & again, the fries!!! Downstairs is dog friendly with a spigot & bowls for water which was a nice added perk. read more

Very disappointed with my red fish. Totally dry. For the prices here that should not happen.

Food OK. Service good. What I did not like is they charged my credit card without my permission for a photo I said I did not want. So beware. Not good business. Will not be back. read more

This is worth the stop for dinner for the incredible sunset. The food was very good. Fresh seafood that was prepared right! Service is hit and miss. Ate here twice and once it was okay service but the second time was really bad. read more

My wife and I had dinner here a while ago. I'm not making any allegations but I find it very strange that I used my credit card once while on vacation which was at Doc's. Within three days I had numerous fraudulent charges on my account. Just be careful. I realize it's not the establishment but there may be a server there that has a side hustle. read more
