Doc's Seafood & Steaks

We stopped in for a Valentine's Day snack between doing a "Selena Crawl" (museum - Mirador de la Flor - Selena's Star on the Texas Music Walk of Fame) in Corpus and heading to Horses on the Beach. We loved reading about the restaurant history and Doc's military accomplishments. We only ordered a beer, Mermaid water (great), the ceviche appetizer (good), and the shrimp po' boy (awesome) w/fries (really good). We wish we could have eaten more but we were pressed for time and afraid to eat too much before an hour and a half ride. If we get to return, I'm definitely ordering their fried shrimp dish. The lady next to me ordered it and it looked delicious! The shrimp were huge!Our waitress was friendly, helpful, and very attentive.If we make it back to South Padre, we'll definitely have to stop in again and try more menu items.

Visiting from out of town for a work conference and this place was recommended by some of the local attendees. Place was pretty busy for a weekday and they had some live music playing as well. Overall, Food was good, but it did take awhile to for our food to come out and our waiter was practically nonexistent. He claimed it was a busy night and they were short staffed. The most positive thing I had were the hush puppies.

Doc's is our must stop each time we're in town. We've even driven down from San Antonio just to eat here. My parents request to go each time they visit, as well. Being right off the water, you can literally stand at the dock and watch the fresh catch of the day being unloaded of the boats directly into the kitchen. You'll also see pelicans and other seabirds gather around this time, too just waiting for someone to drop a tasty fish. The entire back of the restaurant is glass that opens to the outside sea air so no matter if it's nice or stormy, you can watch the wildlife and sealife in and around the canal. The drinks are strong yet tasty. The food is wonderfully fresh and well prepared. R special each day had never let me down. The service is always so friendly and attentive. It really is just a joy to be here. Oh, and try the house made salt scrub provided free in the bathroom. Your hands will thank you!

You HAVE to come here to see the unrivaled sunset views. So beautiful. We sat upstairs in the deck. There was live music The food was delicious. But the drinks were waaaaay too sweet. Service was not bad!

Service was flawless. Restaurant had a beautiful view of the water. The strawberry basil lemonade was made with all fresh ingredients. We got the watermelon tuna appetizer, catch of the day (Parmesan crusted redfish with green beans and rice), and the seafood lover. The green beans and rice were delicious. The appetizer was nice and light. The fried shrimp and French fries were the star of the seafood lover platter. Would definitely go back. Still thinking about that strawberry basil lemonade 10/10.

The waiter we had was fantastic - quick and attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and drink offerings. The restaurant was loud but it was due to the live music, which was excellent.The food was below average. I had the shrimp po' boy, which was fine. The sweet potato fries were very good. My wife had the bacon-wrapped shrimp which were not great, especially for the $26 price tag, and the rice and vegetable side was horrible. The beer was good but nothing was on tap - everything was brought in a can with a chilled glass. Overall the experience was below average and if not for the live music we would have had a 100% negative experience. We will not return, especially when a superior competitor is literally within walking distance.

Doc's Seafood and Steaks is a restaurant that I always visit when vacationing in Port A. They have a building right on the beach and the restaurant is on the second floor and have the most beautiful ocean views. This evening there was live music and a musician was playing guitar and singing some rock songs. The windows were open allowing connection to the outdoors and opportunity to enjoy the ocean. I ordered my regular dish of shrimp brochette or bacon wrapped shrimp that comes with green beans and rice. Also we had the fried shrimp with fried and hush puppies. The service was good and attentive and the food was delicious.

Noel was our waiter. Absolutely amazing such good service. I could only hope for.And the food was awesome. Well priced drinks really good stuffed crab stuffed flounder, and chips and salsa was an amazing starter/side. The south has a combination of pico de gallo and regular salsa. The kids menu is pretty nice too

Came here during a work trip. The best part of this restaurant is the view and family friendly vibes. I was able to snag a table near the window just in time. They had live music, but it was so nosey you could barely hear him. My jalapeño margarita was phenomenal! I had the stuffed grouper and added on fried shrimp. The fish was overcooked, crab stuffing was unpleasantly fishy, green beans were over cooked, and sauce was bland. Shrimp was the best item on the plate. The seafood queso was tasty, just a little on the thick side. The oysters were not great. The service was great and it's evident its family operated, I was happy to support a local business while in town.

We were driving through and decided to drop in to try this place. It was a nice bayside style restaurant with open air patio, great view of the bay and fantastic food. Bonus was live music! We had a waitress that recommended the tuna tacos which I ordered. The tuna tacos came with a poblano sauce, which was fantastic and my spouse ordered the blackened chicken which was a good flavor. Waitress was super friendly and helpful in her recommendations.
