Amazing!!! The oysters and shrimp were the best. Drinks were great. The atmosphere was everything you would want in a seafood restaurant. The owner and staff were very hospitable. Great place, highly recommended.
I live in Panama City Florida and drive an hour just to eat here. By far best variety of oysters and well worth the drive.
Please let me note to all this establishment is not in its original location as of this post. They are renovating their current space so please dont get confused. This was my first time visiting as my gf was taking me to the airport. A few minutes after we arrived it started raining and it poured for quite sometime. Covered patio was available but we preferred inside with a/c. You place your order at the bar, food and drinks. They give you a # and seat yourself. All we ate were oysters which were excellent + tuna dip. I forgot to note her name but lovely young lady behind the bar with long brown hair was awesome. She made great drinks and had a wonderful personality & can do attitude. I would definitely return. If you want some yummy oysters before you head to the airport this is your place!!
Absolutely incredible. Everything we ordered was just amazing. Raw oysters were clearly shucked like 2 seconds ago, just melting in the mouth. Cooked oysters were also very delicious. Best fries I've ever had, and I Love fries. Fried green tomatoes too! Super good. And to finish it off, the outdoor seating area is super fun right on the water, and their prices are refreshingly realistic.

Ordered raw oysters and half dozen Rockefeller baked oysters. Both fresh and delicious! Wonderful time to watch the water with great weather!
September
Ordered a dozen of raw oysters and Capitan basket. It was fresh and delicious. Enjoyed the view and had a good time.

Tried their take out for three dishes- burger/fries, trio plate and soup. They were fine. We will try to dine in and others on the menu next time.
Went with a party of 5 for dinner. Parking was a bit confusing, luckily someone noticed the small sign for parking at another location. Kind of like a hole-in-the-wall place and was hesitant when we walked in. The blacked Mahi basket with tempura battered fries and flavorful hush puppies was very good. Decent beer selections. Getting our orders were a little slow. The oysters were okay, but I'm not a huge fan of oysters. On the water, but it was dark and foggy.
Love this place. Parking out front. Quirky decor- a full sized shark hangs from the ceiling. We got tuna dip, softshell crab sandwitch, both excellent. took our food out on the back porch overlooking the water and the gulls flying past. It's a delight in temperate weather.
I don't like not having table service and having to order food at counter but everything else was great.
I'd rate Doc's Oyster Bar with 4 stars. This place offers fantastic, affordable food right by the water. I've enjoyed many meals and beers with friends here, although cocktails aren't on the menu. Keep in mind that they're currently undergoing construction and are located up the hill inside the Compass Rose. Their hours can be a bit inconsistent due to sharing the property temporarily.
My husband and I both got the Doc burger, and it was absolutely delicious. Fries and burgers were both cooked perfectly. The staff was wonderful, view is beautiful. Definitely stop by and give them your business. They have live music sometimes as well.
Amazing place on the water live music is wonderful and the best smoked tuna, fresh oysters was absolutely the best! We recommend it
Best place ever!!! Food is awesome, drinks are great, staff is wonderful! Highly recommended! I usually get the fish tacos and oysters. Haven't tried anything here that didn't satisfy me!
