My wife had the Royal Reds and loved them. I had the shrimp po boy and was disappointed. Also the fries that came with it were luke warm at best and were hard. Almost like they were seating back in the kitchen for 20 minutes. I would have given them 1 star but the Royal Reds brought it up to 3 stars read more

We were here on vacation and Marcus was our server. He was beyond amazing. He was so personable and friendly. I wish we service like this at home. Definitely recommend! read more

Doc's Seafood & Steaks - Stuffed Soft Shell Crab Dinner - Seafood Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Food was cold or dry, and it might just be my generous Tennessee self but the platter that "could easily feed two" for $30.99 was barely enough for one. Customer service was great and the server was nice and stayed on top of refilling drinks are the only reasons why it wasn't a 1 Star. read more

The waiter was quite a sour puss. We seemed to have inconvenienced him. I ordered chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were so tough, chewing them made my gums hurt. The fries however, were delicious. The seafood seemed to be pretty good according to my friends. I would not recommend. read more

Over priced for just ok food in small amounts. Staff wasn't friendly- well our waitress. Nice play area for kids.

If you like fried shrimp this is your place. Everything else was just okay, except my grilled shrimp which was not good and one even tasted spoiled and I stopped eating them after that. My son said the gumbo was good, but he didn't care much for the rest of his fried seafood platter. There are better choices for seafood in the area. read more

First time to the area and stopped at Doc's on a whim for dinner. Wait time wasn't terrible for peak season dinner rush. The outside area was fun for kids to burn off energy while waiting. We didn't go to the bar but it looked like a madhouse. We were seated within 30 minutes but it took our waitress over 5 to arrive. She wasn't very friendly and when we asked what her favorites were, she replied "well we have banners all over the place" (referring to shrimp). It was obvious she just wanted us to order so she could move on. We ordered a grilled shrimp plate, combo plate with fried shrimp and crab cakes, and 2 kids fried shrimp baskets. The grilled shrimp were okay but nothing to rave about. The combo platter was the worst out of everything. For $27 you only got 6 pieces of shrimp but 2 large crab cakes. It wasn't a good proportion for the plate. The kids fried fish was basic fried catfish. The best thing we tried were the baked potatoes, although please serve REAL butter instead of hydrogenated vegetable oil spread. All in all, this place is average at best. Nothing really different than any other place in a beach town. We would not return again. read more

We have eaten here several times throughout the years and we have always had great food and service. However, this trip has been the worse we have ever experienced at a Docs. We were seated and it was at least 10 minutes before a server ever acknowledged we were seated. Then it took a while before we received drinks and it took forever to get food. Up until today I would have highly recommended Docs but I was not impressed tonight. read more

We had a fantastic dinner! Food was excellent, and service by Rachel was even better! Definitely recommend! My 6 yo son wanted to tell the manager how great everything was, and he was so kind and came over and introduced himself. My son was very pleased. read more

We've seen billboards bragging on how delicious this shrimp was (and the shrimp was good). Their fried fish did not taste freshly fried and their baked potatoes were hard- it seemed like they had been under a heat lamp for too long (even though we got there just after noon). The service was good, but we were disappointed after paying over $100 for our meal. We didn't even take a doggie bag. read more

To me, this place is highly overrated. The wait was not long at all, however, our waitress was not the best. I got the fries shrimp, which is supposed to be the "best in the world," but it honestly tasted like fried shrimp I would get at a Chinese buffet. I was in a party of 7 and our food came out at separate times. One of my party members did not get his fried chicken until we were all done eating. The fried chicken was the best, which is disheartening because it's a seafood restaurant. Overall, not the best seafood AL has to offer. read more

It was was a very great place with excellent shrimp and fast service. And when I say fast we got our food and appetizer with 5 minutes. But the only reason I put a 4 out of 5 stars is because it was greasy. But all in all it was very good and great service read more

Good service, Great grilled shrimp, quick seating(we went for an early dinner) We were looking forward to their fried shrimp. Doc's advertise it to be the "best in the civilized world" but the fried shrimp was unimpressive. read more

Would definitely recommend going later after 8pm. We were able to get seats at the bar ASAP. Very friendly and prompt service. Huge TVs all over the place. Food was very good but would steer clear of the poboys as they do not come with any dressings (I.e., lettuce, tomato, etc) Soft shell crab, oysters & gumbo were amazing though. read more

We got takeout from here two nights in a row it was that good! The first night we got the seafood platter and the second night we got the softshell crab and grilled shrimp salad. Both were wonderful. It was busy both nights, however takeout still only took 20-30 min. The staff went above and beyond to make sure customers inside were wearing masks appropriately and everyone we talked to was super friendly. We can't say enough good things about our experience! read more

We wanted a good place to eat while on vacation in gulf Shores, and we wanted surf n turf, so we decided to try out this place. There was a 45 minute wait on a Monday night, which was expected. When we finally got in there our hostess seated us on thepatio and we all ordered. I got a Mai Tai and it was mixed horribly, and was very bland. Mine and my boyfriends burger were so burnt we didn't even eat them. My brother ordered the 47$ steak and it was just ok, longhorn is better. The fish was straight trash, the only thing that was good was the fried shrimp. On top of everything else our waitress was super rude and condescending because we didn't know how to make the cocktail sauce. This place is way to overpriced and I'd recommend going anywhere else unless you want fried shrimp! read more

Super clean restaurant, took a group of 8 and the food was spot on. One of the best servers ever (Cacy)!

Truly the best fried shrimp in the world. Pricey for simple seafood, but I'd return every visit to the area.

Food was amazing! Service was great!! $166 for four adults and two kids so a little pricey. But it was excellent. Best friend shrimp I've ever had read more

Nothing special. Typical fried food. Staff was very nice. The women's bathroom sink only produced hot scolding water. I told three employees about the water issue . Each said, " yeah, we know , but plumbers can't seem to fix it". I foresee a lawsuit in the near future, because that water was hot and I had no warning or option. read more

Love this new location of Doc's! It is really clean and the food is delicious. You cannot go wrong with the fried shrimp. It's the best from anywhere, and being a local, I know the competition! The steaks are out of this world. read more

First time being at docs seafood and steaks. It was great. Short wait and great food and services.

Well, I was really disappointed for starters. Not because of the service. Actually, the service was the best part. Server was a super nice guy, couldn't have been better really. But the food? Well, it's WAYYY over priced for starters. Salad was awful(Caesar salad) & the shrimp was okay. Kitchen was also dirty as well as I caught a glimpse back there. What deceived me was the packed parking lot. Really hope they can get themselves on track, or maybe I'm the only one with a bad experience ‍ read more

We came in and they quoted us a 30 minute wait. After 40 minutes they said our table we be up shortly when we checked. Had to go up again at 1 hour and they told us it would be 15 more minutes. We handed them the pager and they quoted the people behind us 30 minutes and there were far more people than when we got there. On the way out we were talking to another group who had gotten the same treatment and were still waiting. There was never any truth in the wait times. They just didn't want anyone to leave. Totally unethical and it will be a last visit to a place we have frequented while in Orange Beach. read more

Good evening the reason for my score of two is due to the fact that we had a large party and where ask to split into two table. I didn't object because they(Ms Sharon's team wanted to get us seated. What I had a problem with is our server (Lydia who did a fabulous job) took our order, we received our food had eaten and requested the check and our second table (server- Corvettea) still had not received their food. I did speak with Sharon and she informed me that this was an issue that had not been foreseen this their opening in March 2019. My recommendation is no matter the size of your party don't split them up if your servers are unable to accommodate them in the same manner. We spent and additional 45 minutes waiting for the rest of our party to finish their meal. The food was okay but definitely not worth 2 1/2 hours of dead time. read more

We (group of 12) arrived at around 4:30 and got seated immediately. Gumbo was good. The fried oysters are amazing. Stuffed crab was "ok. Kids enjoyed the fried fish and French fries. read more

"Best shrimp in the civilized world," is their motto. My question is, "Who voted?" It is okay, and the portion is generous but the breading doesn't stick and though there are no tails, the shrimp is not deveined all the way thru the tail. The service was good and the place is pleasant but at $20 a plate, not good enough. Flying Harpoon 2 and The OBA Shrimp Basket is still better. We won't be back. read more

It here every time I come to the beach. Onion rings and fried shrimp! Wife got the island chicken and loved it. Had a long wait as usual because it is busy. Service was great. Will be back again read more

The bar and drinks were trash. These are not professional bartenders, and the drinks reflected their expertise. The food was decent and our waitress was so sweet and accommodating. Not the worst food I've ever had, but certainly not the best. read more

First time at Doc's", wait wasn't bad for the dinner hour, the service, food and atmosphere was fantastic! We'll be back!

Read the reviews on how good the fried shrimp were. Waited an hour thinking this must have great food due to the amount of people waiting. First thoughts was fast food dining room brief if at all wipe down of your table. No big deal it's only a pandemic. There are commercial sauces and in house made non-sealed container sauces sitting in a basket on the table. I wondered if previous diners at the table opened the solo cup sauce containers to taste with a finger and put it back. No thanks. Ordered two $25 platters and kids tender meal. The five shrimp were good, the two fish fillets were good, two hush puppies and crinkle fries were good, and the stuffed crab was the best l've had. In all, it was good food but honestly comparable to fast food that's much cheaper and not an $83 meal for 2 and a child after tip. No you're not paying for beach setting either. read more

Food was good and our server was attentive. We left with a bit of a sour taste though after they wouldn't accept the $5 coupon from a website they advertise on because it wasn't printed (the coupon doesn't list this as a restriction). Too bad we didn't bring our printer to the beach for vacation. $5 isn't a big deal but the principle of it is a bad business practice. read more

We walked into the restaurant at lunch time. We were not given lunch menus until the waitress mentioned. Prices are about 1/2 the regular menu but still plenty of food. We decided to split the largest platter and add two friend chicken (one lunch special) and split among 4 off us. It was plenty of food with leftovers to take home. The hushpuppies, shrimp and chicken were the best. The fish had cornmeal batter which I'm not really fond of. It's not a place I will go back to as it was just ok. read more

This was our favorite restaurant in Gulf Shores! These truly are the tastiest shrimp ever! Fried or grilled--clean, crispy and full of flavor! We also loved the fried fish. Cole slaw is creamy and not too sweet. And the key lime pie is the real deal! So yummy! Everyone was so friendly. It is the best! read more

This a great addition to the Doc's Family of resturants. Stacy does a great job with service, and Danny is perfect with the drinks. Food is quick and delicious. Fried and grilled shrimp is perfection. Those red taters soaked in warm, drawn butter.....wow. You gotta try it. read more

We had read so many positive reviews thought we would give it a try our last night in town. My husband ordered the fried chicken with fries, slaw and an extra side of corn. The slaw was warm and bland; the extra side of corn cost $3.39 for about 1/3 of a cob. The fried chicken was very good. I had the fried chicken breast sandwich and fries. Honestly I've had a better chicken sandwich from Wendy's. It was a very thin chicken breast and had no seasoning whatsoever just had a thin batter and deep fried - just bland. We travel down each year for a week and I doubt we will return. Disappointed - $50 meal for two folks. I don't mind paying a decent price for a nice meal but this just wasn't worth it. read more

Walked right in at 4:30 before the dinner rush. Their fried shrimp was good. Boiled shrimp & Mahi-mahi delicious! Wait staff was less than expected... read more

Less than an hour wait (which is saying a lot for the beach), service by April C. was great and our food was awesome!! This place is a must eat! read more

Doc's Seafood & Steaks - Stuffed crab and grilled shrimp from the choose your own platter! - Seafood Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Grilled shrimp was great. Very reasonable price. Also had the grilled chicken po'boy which was also good. Fries were crinkle cut and super crispy! Service was a little slow, but can't complain too much. read more

First timer and I was not disappointed. Had the shrimp and stuffed crab. So much food my husband helped me eat it.
