Reviews for Doc's Seafood Shack & Oyster Bar in Orange Beach, AL

First time for my wife and I to visit Doc's Seafood. Great experience. We arrived about 7:00 p.m. during rush hour,but only had... to wait about 10 minutes. Our server (Shandra) was very friendly and did a great job for us! I had a fried combo platter (fish,shrimp, and oysters) with fries and cole slaw. My wife got a pound of boiled shrimp with new potatoes. I also got a small cup ofgumbo. Everything was prepared properly and quickly. The shrimp, both fried and boiled, and the gumbo were especiallyoutstanding! Read more

Looked this place up on vacation and decided to give it a whirl! Seated rather quickly, even during the lunch rush. We a super... friendly server and got our drinks and order taken quickly. It was plenty of food, my gosh it was a lot. I had the fried crabcakes with fried shrimp, the cakes were large and the shrimp extra plump. The girlfriend said the fried chicken was the bestshe ever have had. Fast place, yet Great food, you won't be disappointed. Read more

We ate a Doc’s while on vacation in June of 2022. We had been to a now closed location in Gulf Shores some 18 years ago. This... location, while older and quaint, was very clean and the service was very good. My wife is not one for the “Mom and Pop”type establishments, but I talked her into it. The waitress was Smiley and friendly. She took our drink orders and came backwith a picture of both. For the record, I do not understand why more restaurants don’t do this. Filling drink glasses onlybusies the server and can be very frustrating for the customer if you can’t get refills. Anyway, I liked that. She then cameout with little sauce cups, and one had a dab of Horse Radish. Then she began to explain how to make your own Cocktail Sauce.Her instructions where clear and we had a fun time doing it. I have to say, that was the best Cocktail Sauce I have every had!The food came promptly, and everything was very good. There is a second location on Perdido Beach Blvd. We’ll have to try itnext time. Worth a try! Read more

I ordered the shrimp because it said the best fried shrimp in the entire civilized world. It did not disappoint and you could... make your own cocktail sauce. Cool informal vibe. The bloody Mary was fantastic and our waitress was really awesome. Read more

Some of the BEST seafood I have ever had! The Fried Shrimp is legit! Tons of food! Could not finish it all. The white fillet... fish was yummy! Wait was only around 45 minutes but well worth the wait. OH! & you get to make you own cocktail sauce! Go there& try it for yourself! & of course, had to buy some t-shirts before we left. ??????????

The restaurant is busy~~~~ We are in town on vacation, the hotel recommended this restaurant is one of must go at Orange... Beach. Food: 5/5 Kitchen preparing: 2/5 Serving: 4/5 The staff said it's about 50 minutes of wait when we arrived, later onthey call us around 20 minutes after, so I assume they turn the tables quick. After we got in, we ordered pretty quick and gotthe appetizers fast. But then they had some spikes on electricity and guess what!!! They lost our order and didn't serve ourmeal till 40 minutes after... Many other tables came in after us got their food way before ours, and I thought it could bebecause we ordered a large combination plate, so that's why it's taking longer than small plates?? Then the waitress finallyrealized she has not served our food and came to apologize, and asked us to wait a bit longer before they could serveus. Overall the food was great, but I still can't believe a spike of electricity can cause them to lose our order and make uswait an extra 20 minutes. I had to tell our kids to just pretend that we are still outside waiting for them to call ournumbers, so that can make them feel better. Read more

Atmosphere is very informal. The food came quickly and was hot. I tried their shrimp gumbo and was pleasantly surprised at it's... flavor. We chose the baked fish platter and the fried platter. Both were good. Will definitely return Read more

Truly one of the most delicious meals I've ever had. I ordered the baked platter and the picture speaks for itself. The fish,... crab, and shrimp were 10/10 taste. The service was pleasant and not a long wait at all on a Friday night. Food was cooked toperfection and all the condiments you could need and want at the table. Also not pictured we ordered a bushwacker and it was asgood as advertised. Read more
