Doc's was a nice place with the beach atmosphere and our server was very nice. Now the fish that my husband had and my shrimp both were over cooked. read more

Tried Doc's in Orange Beach after hearing it recommended but our whole party was disappointed. The service was poor and the food was "over hyped". They served hot baked potatos with butter and sour cream packets on the side and just a fork to spread it. The crab dishes were either too spicy or mostly breading. The fried shrimp was tasty and while pretty good definitely not "best in civilized world" but might be in rural alabama. Our waiter was not helpful when asked questions and brought the bill to the table just after we got our food, apparently to hurry us along? This experience felt like truck stop food at NYC prices. We're never coming back. read more

The food was cooked to perfection. They really do have the best fried shrimp. I'm absolutely am crazy about shrimp and these are worth the drive from anywhere. The rest of the menu is also great. The service was great. The ambiance is what was expected from a bar and grill. Overall it was the best bar and seafood grill in the area. read more

Service was excellent! The only reason I give 4 stars was because the grilled shrimp was seasoned with lots of salt! I love salt but it was a little more than I would like! My family had fish and crab cakes and they were delicious! Drinks were tasty too! read more

The food was basic and the service was adequate... here was the kicker... the kid's souvenir cup was "an added charge" per the waitress... she should of said it's $16 plus $3 for the beverage being ordered. Yea that's $19 for a child's drink We won't be returning! read more

Worst food i've ever had in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores. Coleslaw, Hushpuppies or my Drink were the best thing on my plate. My mom got the Mahi Mahi and it was so dry she couldn't get her fork through. If you get something here, it better be fried but even that was about a 4/10. So many better places if you want to spend more than $100 for 3. read more

Docs was within walking distance from our go to so we decided to give it a try. We had their world famous fried shrimp and it was delicious. We started with the seafood gumbo which was very good & we had the shrimp loaf Fun place for fresh seafood, love the sweet tea with personal pitcher for refills, the cocktail sauce is a "make your own" at the table, which was interesting? It's close to the beach & we had Good service read more

My wife and I got shrimp dinners which were both good. My daughter got oysters and thought they were great. Generous portions of cheesy grits that were very good and a great salad bar. I'd definitely return. read more

Really great shrimp and fish. Live music was a bonus and most importantly pet friendly porch area. Family oriented activities

We visited here as soon as we made it to Orange Beach, and I was not disappointed!! The food was superb. We shared the Super seafood platter & omg chef's kiss!! The catfish was absolutely bomb. I ordered a Long Island Ice Tea, babe grabbed a Corona. If you're in the area try it out !! Oh they let you make your own cocktail sauce yummy! read more

Service and food were both great! Husband had fried shrimp and I had the large house salad.

Couldn't recommend this place more! The sign says it's the best fried shrimp in the civilized world, and tbh, they're right! The food was absolutely delicious, some of the best crab cakes I've ever had! Our waiter, Dwayne, was so nice and friendly, my group had an amazing dinner here! Will 100% be back next time we're in town, if you're thinking of giving this place a try I definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed! read more

Great steaks. My wife's filet was the most tender I've ever had. My ribeye was cooked perfectly. Before Dinner we played ring toss connect four and corn hole outside. Our server Cheslee took great of us, and the manger Will even came by to check on us. They heard it was our anniversary and even prepared a special appetizer for us. read more

Stopped by last Sunday because Sea N Suds was closed for whatever reason, big disappointment. The restaurant itself was new, nice and clean. Our waiter was exceptionally nice and friendly. Thats where all the good ends. Menu was typical for touristy seafood. Mostly fried items. The prices were silly high for run of the mill fare. We decided to go easy for lunch since we were here and out of options. Each got a bushwacker, cup of gumbo and split 1/2 doz raw oysters. Bushwacker had ZERO alcohol in it, beware of their drinks here. Gumbo was average and oysters were small. This all tallied to $67 before tip! Not a fan! Other reviewers seem to enjoy it and didn't mind high price for small amount of food. I will be skipping this one from now on. read more

Canal location - I am a longtime customer - 1st as a longtime vacationer then in 2014, I moved to OB. They advertise the best shrimp in the civilized world but personally I go because I can get those amazing onion rings before my meal. The last 2 times I've been, the onion rings have had a thicker batter than they have ever had before and they are not any good. I waited until getting them a 2nd time last night before reviewing just incase there was a substitute cook. I was so disappointed but only because of my onion rings. The meal was great as usual. I'm so glad they have offered the winter special as after the prices went up after covid and they did away with the lil'un platter, I have only been able to go occasionally as a retired person. Please go back to the old onion ring recipe please! read more

Came at 5pm since it was super busy every time we drove by later. Sat at the bar. Derick and Drew were great-super friendly and attentive. My husband had a steak and I had shrimp 3 ways. Both were delicious. I must say I preferred the boiled shrimp the best! Go early, sit at the bar. You won't be disappointed. read more

Had a quick lunch here after a day at the beach. Service was great, friendly and fast. Food was great, actually a little better than the Doc's on canal. Not real crazy about all the prepackaged condiments. Price was very reasonable for lunch. read more

Loved Docs! We tried a platter with grilled shrimp and fried clams with a baked potato. We had a fish sandwich with coleslaw. All was so tasty! The hush puppies were yummy. My husband had the the old spider burger it was a whole crab! Amazing! The server was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! We are going back later this week. Try Docs! read more

We really enjoyed our meal at Doc's but especially our waitress, Kellie! She was outstanding and made our visit memorable! We will be back for the great food, but we sure hope Kellie is working that day, we will ask for her! Please order the fried shrimp, they make a bold claim but they back it up! We will be back and will recommend Doc's to our friends. read more

The fried shrimp really is fabulous! Our group of nine had fast service. We loved our items and enjoyed making our own cocktail sauce. Caramel Bushwacker was a fun variation on a local favorite. read more

Fried shrimp was really good. The grilled shrimp was a little oily but had nice seasoning. You get lots of fries with your meal, and the tea was good. Quick, friendly service. read more

Fast service, less wait considering it was Friday and awesome food! It helps when the manager is actually managing the tables. They are on top of their game! My husband ordered fried fish and shrimp, and I ordered a ribeye. read more

This restaurant looks like a chain restaurant from the road. I've actually passed it up a few times thinking it was a knock off of the back bay Docs. Was in the mood for a steak and this consistently ranked in the top 4-5 in the area. Steak was as advertised. Tender. Delicious. Full of flavor and perfect marbling. Sides were delicious. I had to order a half dozen fried shrimp to test the banner of "worlds best". I have to say, in my little world it reigns supreme as well. Enjoyed every bite of my dinner. Wonderful service. Will top my list for trips back down here. read more

Great food at a a great price! The onion rings were to die for. The fried shrimp truly is the best shrimp in the civilized world. The fried stuffed crab was by far the best food on the table, simply full of flavor and to die for!! The hospitality was great from the second we entered the door. Derrick, our bartender/server was great. If you want authentic fried seafood do yourself a favor, go to Doc's. It's locations have great food! read more

20oz ribeye was good and grilled exactly right. The wife ordered the grilled shrimp and did not like it. My in laws ordered the prime rib special and said it was pretty good. Service was decent. I did not like the sweet tea at all. Prices seemed a little high for the food. read more

Great food and great service. Food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Hospitality was great. Only thing that I can complain about is I ask one of the employees for plates for our appetizers. By the look on her face I knew she wasn't coming back and she never did. Caught eye contact with her on the way out and she knew. Other than that it's a place I would definitely recommend and would return to. read more

Food was very good and I am not a seafood fanatic! The mahi I chose was likely the best I have ever eaten and the lady had shrimp that she says the very same about. Service was outstanding in assistance by suggestions and very attentive in keeping us cared for. The restaurant was very clean and cared for it appeared and we would not hesitate in return trips. Very good experience! read more

Made a reservation at 4:00 and got told we would have to wait. Didn't get sat until 4:40 and then found a bug crawling in my food. Manager was nice but the food wasn't good at all, aside from the bug and bad service. read more

Doc's Seafood & Steaks - Seafood Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Well they claim to have the best fried shrimp in the civilized world. That claim may be a little bold but I can say that they were the best shrimp I've ever eaten. Hand breaded not frozen and PERFECTLY cooked which is a rare feat at a restaurant. The platter comes with an insane amount of fries and some outstanding hush puppies. I wish I knew their slaw recipe. My wife had the crab cakes and you could taste the freshness of the crab. They even had a set up for you to make your own cocktail sauce. My only complaint would be to get the draft beer and glasses a little colder but it was busy so that may be the issue. Not enough to keep me from giving 5 stars and coming back again. read more

Nice staff. I had clam strips. They were skinny and blah. Cole slaw were a little mushy but not bad. My daughter had chicken strips. They were fat juicy and soooo good. My husband and I kept taking bites of her strips. Lol. I should've gotten their fried chicken basket. I thought they were strips like the kids meal but nope-- bone in. Don't get the clam strips. Husband got the fish & shrimp fried basket. We agreed chicken was the way to go. read more

Save your $. Overpriced for quality and freshness of food. Everything fried was over breaded and greasy. The raw oysters came out after our dinner entrees and were warm, clearly not fresh and made us sick within a few hours. The oysters are also not dressed and you have to make your own cocktail sauce with the warm ketchup and warm Worcestershire on the table and a bit of horseradish they provide. I've had better crab cakes from the freezer of our grocery store. The gumbo was also bland and the service was poor. The outdoor seating areas were pretty nice with some live music, but skip the food. We will never go back. read more

Awesome food and insanely fast service. I had the fried shrimp and my wife had the stuffed crab. Both were awesome. Stuffed crab was probably the best I have ever tasted. read more

Sea Food platter was AMAZING!! Also, best gumbo!!! Drinks are amazing! Great service and atmosphere!! Well worth the wait!!! If you wanna beat the rush get there around 4:30!! read more

This Doc's is even worse than the other Doc's. We had gumbo which we had to send back because it cold, then it returned it was warmer but was salty. Our other two meals were ok, but nothing special. With all the great food around the area try other places. read more

I came here with my family (table of 11) and we all got a variety of things. I ordered their famous bushwacker for a drink. For an entree I ordered the filet with blackened shrimp and a bake potato. Overall I really enjoyed the food and experience. We had an excellent server! But the food did not sit well in our stomachs... And some stuff was just very cheapy displayed consider the price. read more

Ate here a couple years ago and was impressed. Today the food was mediocre and the fried fish was so tough and nearly inedible and the baked potatoes tasted old. Not worth the price. Disappointed! read more

Best fried seafood for the price. Can also get grilled seafood. Service was outstanding, considering how busy they are. No white tablecloths here! Just a good ole greasy spoon kinda of restaurant. Side note: If you bring your catch in..they'll cook it for you! read more
