Horrible service. Never got a refill, waitress was rude. 84 dollars for 3 people for lunch.

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

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

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

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

Visited Doc's for the first time for my hubby's birthday and had a fabulous and romantic luncheon. I had the ahi tuna tacos and was stuffed and took two of them home. They did not scrimp on the serving. Hubby had the crab stuffed flounder for $28. He loved the sauce on it. We also got the Chocolate Tres Leches cake. I was going to take a photo, but we got it to go. Ate it, then remembered I should have taken a photo. The service was wonderful. The waitress was very pleasant and answered all of our questions, sorry I forgot her name. We had a great view as well. Would love to come back in the evening to eat while the sun is setting. 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

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

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

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!!

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

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

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

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

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

Really delicious meal. We had the Red Fish and Blackend Shrimp. Service was friendly and food was delivered quickly. The restaurant was very clean and well taken care of. read more

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

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

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

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

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

This was our first time visiting Doc's and we were pleased with the visit. For appetizers we got hush puppies, the egg rolls, and giant pretzel. All of which were very good. Our meals were bacon wrapped shrimp, fried shrimp, cheese burger, peel and shrimp, and crab stuffed flounder. Over all the food was very good. My father in law was a little let down because he visits there often and the bacon wrapped shrimp were tiny compared to all of his other visits. The service was amazing. We will be back. read more

Absolutely delicious red snapper. Asked the waiter to surprise me with whatever from their specials. It was great and I appreciated the thoughtful choice. The ambiance was nice, very coastal. read more

We had dinner to celebrate my mom's birthday, and I cannot say enough good things about our server, Joy. She was truly phenomenal from the moment we sat down. She was warm, genuine, and made everything feel so lovely and celebratory. My mom felt special the whole night and Joy even sang Happy Birthday with us! you could tell she really cared and wanted to make the evening memorable. It's rare to find someone in hospitality who brings that kind of heart to the table, and I'm so thankful we had her as our server on a night that meant a lot to our family. Thank you, Joy! You were the highlight of our dinner! read more

Came here during a work trip. The best part of this restaurant is the view and family friendly vibes. I was able to snag a table near the window just in time. They had live music, but it was so nosey you could barely hear him. My jalapeño margarita was phenomenal! I had the stuffed grouper and added on fried shrimp. The fish was overcooked, crab stuffing was unpleasantly fishy, green beans were over cooked, and sauce was bland. Shrimp was the best item on the plate. The seafood queso was tasty, just a little on the thick side. The oysters were not great. The service was great and it's evident its family operated, I was happy to support a local business while in town. read more

The service was really good, the food was excellent and the view was nice too. Would be a wonderful dinner at dusk or at night.

Okay, I'm here to sing Doc's praises. It's been 3+ years since I'd been here (retired to the PNW) and I was craving good seafood. Doc's delivered, and then some. We were lucky enough to have chosen a "$5 Margaritas" Thursday. And, let me tell you, it's a good, healthy pour for five bucks! A great start. The place is still vibrant, hoppin', clean and friendly. It took a while to get seated - mostly because folks were staying to listen to the live music. They should probably move that downstairs to the bar level so the dining level can stay moving. But, we were seated with a nice view of the sunset on the water so all is good. I order the grilled Mahi Mahi from the specials board. It had a Malibu Mango Rum sauce and pico de gallo on it that was heavenly. The meal also came with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. They were okay, but that fish made the day. It was moist, flaky and (with that rum sauce) VERY flavorful. Prices are still a bit aggressive, but that fish was above par. That and the great deal on the margaritas made it worthwhile. read more

Ambiance is nice however they had heaters on and it was way too hot. Service was very slow and there were not many people. Food was just okay. My salad, bacon wrapped shrimp and vegetables were all fine. The tartar sauce was funky. read more

Let me start off by saying how fabulous our waitress was. She memorized the entire catch of the day menu and told us with no problems. VERY IMPRESSIVE! She was quick and stayed in top of things. The food was amazing. I got the friend shrimp and my husband got the Parmesan crusted fish. We sat by the water and there was also live music. I would definitely return on our next visit down here. read more

We visited the area over New Years and ended up going to Doc's twice. The wait staff is really good. Loved the live music. The drinks at the bar were ok, but the seafood was really good. Had stuffed flounder one night and the second time they had a redfish special that was incredible. read more

Doc's Seafood & Steaks - Pina Colada and Texas tea - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Service was Excellent! Food was so-so. The cooking oil was probably a little old. Otherwise everything was ok.

ambience was cool, live entertainment was nice. the fries were pretty good. that was the good part i got the "ragin cajun burger" and was met with a dry bland burger with ridiculously cut tomato and onion, literally uneven chunks of vegetables shoved into a burger. the poblano sauce and fries was the only redeeming factor we also got the queso, ceviche and cheese curds as appetizers. queso and curds? 8/10 it's cheese what could go wrong. the ceviche however, quite literally a bowl of par boiled shrimp smothered in cocktail sauce.....not ceviche in the slightest. service was ok. super friendly staff, very slow service. but it was crowded so definitely giving grace there. to top it all off, do not come here if you're expecting A/C. i'm sweating buckets waiting for mediocre (not to mention overpriced) food. the restaurant has fans dotted around the room and yet it's like i'm still at the beach boiling. I feel bad for the staff, their backs are DRENCHED in sweat and faces red. bathrooms extremely dirty and toilet barely flushed. no further comment i see the potential and the homey vision behind it, but our experience today was anything but positive. give those servers a raise for 10/10 attitude. read more
