This place Rocks! On a mini-vacation with the Wife in Corpus Christi, TX and this Family-run business does it Right! Great variety of foods; Military Friendly; Service is Spot On; and the Ambience Kicks Butt along with Live Music! Definitely recommend this place; come out and try the Ragin-Cajun Burger! You’ll Love it!
This is our new favorite place to eat in Corpus Christi. The food and service were both amazing. I highly recommend both the Clam Chowder - which rivals that from New England. Also the clam strips - a dish that's oddly difficult to find - were buttery and delicious. Our server was excellent. We were there on a Saturday evening and there was live music with a talented performer. The view is great! We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!
While camping at Padre Balli RV Park, I needed a break from my own cooking, so upon recommendation from other campers, we decided to try Doc's. So glad we did! I typically do not order fried food but made an exception with their fried shrimp and fries platter. It was yummy! My husband ordered the fried flounder (he's got a shell fish allergy) and declared it delicious, as well. As a bonus, we were seated close to the open air patio and got to watch the F18's (I think) do flybys multiple times. Just awesome! All in all, the food, service, and ambiance were great.
A really great relaxed atmosphere. Awesome drink selection and food was so fresh and delicious. Staff was very impressive with fast service and great vibes.
We stop by here every time we are in Corpus/Port Aransas. Food is always great with a great view of the water. Staff is friendly and helpful. The parking lot can fill up quick when it's busy and you may have to walk a few minutes but it's not too bad.
Definitely recommend! The seafood here is incredibly fresh! The seafood lover platter (all fried) is crispy and not greasy at all. The clam chowder is creamy and clammy without being overwhelmingly fishy. The ceviche is super fresh with avocado and jalapeno to compliment the seafood, the chips that come with it are thin and super crunchy which we loved. The stuffed flounder has a crawfish sauce that is to die for! Hack: If the line is too long upstairs, order at the togo window and find seating downstairs. The crew will bring the food down for you, you get a great view of the water, and get to relax by the water listening to live music. Doing this cut our wait time from an hour to literally 10 mins. We sat downstairs and as we were talking about how they'd find us because it was so busy, they came in within 10 mins of us ordering. The food is great, the views are great, the staff is incredibly friendly. The prices are pretty good for the quality and quantity, we spent 100 for two people 2 appetizers, 2 drinks, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts.
Three smiling women at the door to greet you behind the counter. Also, to let you know how long the wait will be right off the bat. You don't have to worry because we only waited a half hour. You are given a buzzer to let you know when you will be seated. So have a Margarita and relax. It's a very open ampospere with good views. My wife had the parmesan crusted blackened redfish with a shrimp creamy sauce absolutely delicious! I decided to go with the Wisconsin cheeseburger, which was also delicious. The service was great, very friendly staff. We hope you enjoy your meal, we did and it was well worth it!
Oh my god is this a great place to eat or birthday dinners. The staff are so professional and have a great sense of humor. We had a lot in our party and everyone love their dinners. With a real island decor showing local surfers at their best. Nice deck overlooking the intercoastal waterways. Highly recommend this restaurant.
