I guess expectations shouldn't be too high when you order steak at a seafood restaurant. Had been eating seafood all week so we decide to try the New York strip at Doc's. At $34 I assume I would get a decent steak. Very disappointing meal. Tossed salad came out in a hurry and was a nice salad. Problem was that I was only about half finished when my steak arrived. The steak looked like something from the Western Sizzler-sorry Western Sizzler. It wasn't more than 3/4" thick probably closer to 1/2" with grill marks that just barely visible. Ordered Medium. There was just a trace of pink in the center of the steak. Hard to get a skinny steak to a medium! If we go back to Orange Beach, Doc's will NOT be my place for steak. read more

The best thing about our dinner was the beer while we waited & our waitress. She was incredibly sweet & helpful. There was a hair in our salads, the steak was inedibly over cooked, which make them ridiculously overpriced. We had no napkins or condiments. Our table was held together with zip ties. Our covered seating had no cover. Would not recommend. read more

The last time we came to Doc's it was the original location in Gulf Shores. That location has closed so we came to this location in Orange Beach. The food wasn't as good as the original location and the atmosphere was that of any other strip mall restaurant. We probably will let our tradition of eating here when we come to the Alabama coast die with the closing of the original Doc's in Gulf Shores. read more

Best onion rings I've ever eaten. Fried shrimp is the best I've eaten. Grilled shrimp has a great taste and good marinade. Don't forget to make your own cocktail sauce!! read more

Absolutely horrid. Shrimp fried in old grease, batter falling off, greasy, disgusting. Green beans straight out of the can, no seasoning. Charged $4.50 to substitute a side house salad that was out of a pre made bag. Rip off. Worse shrimp in the civilized world. WILL NEVER ORDER FROM DOC's AGAIN! GROSS... read more

We went to the new location on beach road in orange beach and it was incredible. The best grilled and fried shrimp we have had on the coast. Their bushwhacker was phenomenal as well. Highly recommend! read more

My gooooodness! Excellent service and excellent food. Enjoyed sitting out on the patio and watching the passers by and cool breeze. Great day date! We will be back read more

I ate at Docs this evening and truly had a wonderful experience! Our waiter Marcus was the best!!!

We ordered takeout. This place is popular so had to wait to pick up. Food was good-a little too salty for me.

Rudest waitress ever. I don't know what set her off. That another waitress offered us waters from her tray as we were seated or that the hostess sat the 2 of us at a 6 top. Had she been a good waitress, we would have tipped her well. We still ended up forced to tip her 18% because she hovered over my husband's shoulder as he used her little machine and that was the lowest option without clicking zero which he didn't feel comfortable doing. Should have, she certainly didn't earn a tip. The food was meh. everything but the steaks is fried. The tartar sauce is left on the table, which freaked me out a little bit but we were never offered anything else to put on our dry po' boys so ‍ We'll never return. Even messaged them on fb and was completely ignored so clearly, customer service is low on their list. read more

Great lunch specials! Large portions, friendly staff and no wait time. Gave adults seafood they wanted while kids had multiple kid friendly options. Definitely the best of both worlds! read more

No wait when we arrived around 4:30. Food came quick. Waitress was great. Good unsweet tea, good hush puppies, good fried shrimp, terrible grilled fish, terrible crab cakes - fish was salty and greasy and crab cakes were not done on the inside and burnt on the outside. Good ranch dressing and delicious Coleslaw. read more

This was our first visit to the area and we were looking for somewhere for good seafood. I highly recommend Doc's. Great food, fast and great service. Large portions. We went here twice during this visit! read more

This morning I took my mother to tintop for Mother's Day to have a nice meal, unfortunately they were packed so we left and found Doc's Seafood in Orange Beach. I just would like to stay as soon as I walked through the doors my mouth was watering and my nose was in total bliss from the savory scents of fresh seafood. That was just the beginning! Our host was super helpful and extremely nice there was no wait and she was able to seat us immediately. After we sat we glanced over the menu and all chose to get a seafood platter with different types of seafood. Yall.... I have NEVER had seafood before that was full of so much flavor... Normally I eat fast, but this food was so good for the first time in my life I actually savored the flavors. . I would highly recommend to anyone! This is my new favorite place to get seafood and I cannot wait for my next visit! #YUM #AMAZING read more

Great food and great service. We really enjoyed the outdoor bags and kids play area. This was critical given the wait times for restaurants in this community. read more

Nice atmosphere. Prices are high (relative to the food). Food's pretty good. I did the fried chicken (make sure they don't try to overcharge you like they did me for chicken, by the way) as I'm not into seafood and I wasn't going to pay the prices they were asking for steak (I supposed I can't comment on the steak since I didn't have it...). Beers and cocktails were ~$8. My 2 piece white chicken fried was ~$13 (though they tried to charge an addition $2 or so, but I caught it..). They do have corn hole and ring toss outside. read more

Great service from the waiter however, when my party and I tried our food we realized there was no seasoning to be tasted. If you are looking for a place with great atmosphere this is the place for you but, remember the food is subpar compared to prices on the menu. read more

I do not understand the hype here. Pina Colada was basically an icee with coconut syrup, not even sure if there was alcohol. The fried shrimp were too salty, the fries were bland, and the crab cakes were very fishy with too much filler. You make your own red sauce and service was quick but I will skip this on my next visit. read more

We saw the plane flying with the banner announcing it was "the best fried shrimp in the entire civilization" - so we had to try it! We loved all of the seafood! Our waitress was fantastic and attentive. We had 1 teen that ordered a cheeseburger and said it tasted like seafood - I would recommend cooking any non-seafood on a non-seafood grill. We would definitely recommend! read more

Great atmosphere. Good food. Fast service. Would consider going back next time we visit

We DoorDash'd our meal and it was still SO AMAZING!! Everything was hot and crunchy, cooked to perfection!! It was a bit pricey, but WELL worth the cost. I'd love to try it in the restaurant. read more

Great food and pleasant wait staff! We visit them at least twice every trip to Orange Beach.

My wife, daughter, and I went to Doc's for lunch. The waitress was attentive and gave excellent service. We left her a good tip. We just felt the prices were very high for the mediocre food that we received: One bowl (medium sized) of seafood chowder, one very simple (romaine, dressing, and croutons... that's it) Caesar salad, and another Caeser salad with slices of chicken. We all had water. Our tab, including tip was about $48. There was nothing special about the food, and it is very overpriced. read more

service sucked. did not even get half my food. they forgot. over priced for Basic good.. horrible experience.

My dining experience this evening was unacceptable. We were sat at our table around 6:30 and waited about 15-20 min for a server to come greet us. Our server was nice when she finally showed up but then took forever getting our drinks. Even after she brought our waters, she gave half of them away to a table that was sat after us, and then we waited another 10 min for the rest of the drinks. The positive was that the appetizers came out timely and were very good! We got a seafood sampler and charbroiled oysters and both were good portions, hot, and delicious. Things went south after the appetizers. We waited and waited for our food to come out! Other tables sat after us had left. The server did check-in with us once to tell us our food was coming soon. Around 8:20pm, half of our food showed up. The half that showed up was cold. The waitress finally came over and we did eventually get the rest of the food after another 20 min of waiting. The crab cakes were burnt on one side and just served burnt side down and the fried shrimp was soggy. At this point, we did ask to talk to a manager and ended up being offered dessert. We declined as my 80+year old grandparents really needed to get home. Our bill did end up having 15% taken off of it. read more

Although we didn't have to wait to be seated, once seated it took 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge that we were there. The oysters we got were slimy, fishy, gritty, and completely inedible... I had ordered one glass of wine right when we ordered drinks and it did not arrive until after we were completely finished eating our meal. We also poured our own tea, which makes sense I guess since the waitress hardly acknowledged us the whole time. All together, it was extremely over priced for the mediocre food and poor service. With all the options in the area, there are definitely so many better options than this place. read more

Crab claws are the BEST but crab cakes are the worst. They are not fresh, definitely come out within seconds as they are mass produce and feel microwaved. Other food was pretty good. Waiter/service and atmosphere was great!! I would try it out, just skip the crab cakes! :) read more

Fantastic oysters, very good fried shrimp, some of the best fried shrimp I've had . Very good service. Will go back.

We had a large party and the wait time was said to be 45 min to an hour. We were seated within 15 minutes. We sat outside and the heat was almost unbearable even with the misters going full force. The food was great. I had filet mignon with a skewer of grilled shrimp. Our table had crab legs and they said it was great. Tad bit on pricey side, but to me all food is expensive in this day and time. read more

Great service and great food! Definitely worth the wait! We had the fried shrimp with loaded baked potato.

Friendly service with lots of different tasty seafood options. The steak we had was great! We also had the "chuck wagon" steak. It was a bit misleading because it's not steak, but a ground beef patty topped with onions, mushrooms and gravy. It was excellent though. We will go back there this trip! read more

We waited for almost 2 hours, which we expected. The waitress, bartenders were all great. The royal reds shrimp were good and the fried shrimp was great. The other items were awful. Fried fish and fried crab claws tasted nothing but breading, and the food was dry. Not worth the money !! read more

I was not impressed with any of the meal, from the crinkle fries from a froze bag to the over fried crab cakes.

We tried this place today because it says they have the best fried shrimp in the entire civilized world! This is a completely false statement unless you like your fried shrimp straight off of the Cisco truck. When I mentioned it to our server he just laughed and made up some kind of canned excuse. If you are thinking about stopping here please find anywhere else to go. read more

Raw oysters were great! Service was great! Beer was flat..fried shrimp were extremely salty and the boiled royal reds were mush...legit tourist trap and for 120$ for 2 adult and 3 kids at lunch was a complete kill job. read more

Wonderful food and wonderful service! We went for the 3-6 happy hour specials, drinks but also some dinners were on special. The portions are generous. We had seafood and some of us (party of 11 people) even tried the surf and turf. It was all good! Their gumbo came free with most of our dinners and that was good also. Plus, even in the winter "off season" they had first class food and service! read more

I had a fish and shrimp combo. The fish was very good. The fried shrimp... well what can I say. I'll probably never look at fried shrimp from anywhere else the same way again. It was that good. I will definitely be back. read more

As they claim, their fried shrimp is excellent. We went here a couple times during our vacation. Delicious food. Fast and friendly service. Outdoor seating. read more

This was hands down the most disappointing experience we've ever had. Food and management combined. When you don't receive half of the things that you have asked for and literally don't get the sweetener for your tea but are still charged for the tea and the manager said she can't take it off because it was consumed. Seriously? We feel totally and completely robbed. We paid for food that was way way way subpar and not corrected and then the manager literally looked at us and said well you ate it so I have to charge you for it. It was eaten because we kept thinking our missing items were coming and didn't want our food to be cold. No salt and pepper for the potatoes, or real butter just margarine, incorrect items, no salad dressing, crab that was more work than it was worth...literally no meat coming out. Seriously rude manager JENNIFER who blamed the experience on our server. Who cried. It was RIDICULOUS!! Don't go. Save yourselves. Drinks watery, even kids chicken tenders were dry as a bone and guess what...our honey mustard was never delivered! Ugh. Robbed. I would also like to say we gave them every opportunity to make it right and treated them with kindness. read more

First time at this Doc's location tonight and for a party of 10 not only was our service amazing from Marcus but also super fast! I don't think we even waited 15 minutes for our food to come out and everything was perfect! read more
