Locals recommended Docs, so we went and got it to go. We went to the Orange Beach Docs on Canal St. The food was hot, the portions were large and everything tasted good. This place stays busy and we saw a variety of clientele from business attire to tourist casual. We each got the sampler platter and it was more... more

We had a wonderful meal at Doc's on July 29. The food was very fresh and the service was good. This is a down-home kind of place so don't expect anything fancy. The food is worth it, especially the shrimp salad and the soft shell crabs. more

I would not recommend Doc's in Orange Beach to anyone. The shrimp was small and definitely not fresh. All of the food (hushpuppies, stuffed crab, shrimp, etc.) must have been bought frozen at the local grocery store or a restaurant supplier. The service was not good either. I was not pleased with having to pay $80 for this stuff! more

The bad news was that there was a tornado warning in our neighborhood, but the good news was that my father and I had Doc's Seafood to distract us. And, oh, what a pleasant distraction. Doc's may not be much to look at (there's even a catch-the-lobster carnival claw game in the bar area), but never have I had better... more

The gumbo is always good. The food to my knowledge is always fresh and the service has never been an issue. In and out in no time and the food is great. I never have eaten at the Gulf Shores location but would imagine it would have a lot of tourons (tourist that are morons) eating there. That is just... more

My husband and I took our two toddlers to Doc's and enjoyed it. The wait staff was fabulous. constatly checked on us and always had our cups full. Prices were reasonable. I had the grilled shrimp salad for about $10. The salad was excellent. Very good grilled shrimp. I also had a cup of gumbo for about $5. It was... more

We always make one or two trips to Doc's on our visits to the beach here. If you want reasonable prices with lots of fried fish and shrimp (the portions are great), we get our to go and enjoy this dinner on our deck overlooking the Gulf. The people are good "neighbors next door". Go...enjoy more

You get to make your own cocktail sauce with raw horseradish, ketchup and your favorite hot sauce. Cold beer is a big plus here. more

We love the Orange Beach location of Doc's, so we thought we would try the Gulf Shores location. Other than the name on the door, nothing was the same. I was not impressed. The food was over priced for the portion size and lacked flavor. The hushpuppies were the out of a bag frozen variety and the smallest I've ever... more
