We had both the fish and the chicken and both were very good. They waitress was kind enough to warn us that when ordering the chicken it takes about 20 minutes. My husband got the all you can eat fish. It comes with a light breading and deep fried. I tried it also and it was very good. They do... more

It's too bad that Docs has a copycat in Gulf Shores. The service in Gulf Shores is terrible, the food is cold and not worth the asking price and I cannot recommend it to anyone. In fact, after trying it, I tell my friends not to go there! Doc's in Orange Beach is wonderful. The portions are generous, the food... more

We should have turned around and left, but we didnt. The shrimp was the only thing good. The fries were frozen "crinkle" fries, which I dont expect when I am paying $15 buck for a meal. Our waitress brought our food, checked on us briefly, and we never saw her again until we had to go looking to get our... more

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
