Nice place to sit and have a drink on the water and listen to a couple guys play guitar, but eat before you go. Clam chowder was a thick pasty mess that tasted like flour and water with canned clams. The tilapia was edible, but that's all I can say about it. The shrimp fettucine alfredo was barely edible. I'd... More

This place has a nice view. It's a great place to watch the sunset over the Leguna Madre. It's just a very average seafood restaurant. The night we ate there they were out of oysters! The food was not bad - not great either. The waiter, was another story. I realize the when he dropped out of High School or... More

We held a wedding rehearsal dinner at this location. We selected burgers and beans from the banquet menu and while the burgers were good (particularly the buns!), the entire meal was vastly overpriced for the number of people served. The location is fun, if you like rustic ambiance with a great view of the bay, but not worth the price... More

We drove many miles to south Texas to get warmer and to enjoy fresh seafood. This place was worth the trip!!! Great by-the-sea atmosphere. Great cocktails (we had margaritas), and fabulous gourmet seafood. Would go back again and again. P.s. I just read a couple of other reviews of this place. Someone said it was pricey!!! Come on, if you... More

My beautiful wife and I had supper here on a hours day afternoon. The menu is very good, but the prices are a little high for our taste. I had the chicken breast stuffed with seafood. I added a crab cake on the side. It came with fries and a small salad. The food was fresh, very well seasoned, very... More

I wanted to have some seafood being on the Gulf. Most food on the menu was fried. OK, I realize much of the food on the Gulf is fried - but I wanted something different. One of our meals was cold when it arrived at the table. The manager did try to fix it. My meal was just average.

just back from dining at Doc's. The food was decent, but not great. Tried the chowder, it was quite nice, but rather thick, seemed like it had been in the pot for a while. Also had fish tacos, again, decent, but nothing to write home about, and accompanied by soggy fries (they needed another minute in the fryer) We asked... More

The gulf shrimp was wonderful. Fresh, crisp, golden and perfectly cooked. We were seated and served right away by a friendly and cheerful staff.

The fresh seafood was great at Docs with outside dining available. Price was moderate to high. There was live music while we dined. Roll up doors were surrounding the restaurant to allow comfort from the wind or open for a breeze while dining.

OSHA would shut this place down if it were a factory because of hearing damaging music. I asked to be seated as far as possible from the music. I had to shout our order to our waiter who was having a difficult time hearing. I got the same order as my wife instead of what I wanted after about a... More
