This place looks awesome. They did a really good job fixing it up, and Including the new docks.

Was very excited about trying this. The appetizers were pretty good and the awesome variety of hot sauces. But that was about it. Chilean Sea Bass was good but the sides were not and it didn’t seem to matter. Nice server when she was there. But outside bar was great and the view as well.

My new favorite location! Beautiful setting, lots of outdoor dining and the food is so consistent throughout the 4 locations! Our server Sebastian was excellent. Tried the paella and it was terrific. I highly recommend visiting the newest location.

First time at this location and Second time eating at a Doc Ford’s. The out door seating area is pretty cool in the back, nice water view. I had the Danish Babyback Ribs. They were cooked perfectly. The Cole Slaw had a little too much Vinegar. The French Fries were awesome. My Mom got the Clam Chowder and they nailed it. The Soup of the Day was ok, but needed more Chorizo.

I gave this 5 stars for the overall everything. A casual atmosphere with the inside having an average feel. The bar and view is very nice from our high top but from other places it probably isn’t much different than a lot of chain restaurants where you stare at the walls adorned with stuff. We did sit inside because we were hungry and there was no wait but in the future and there will be a future visit we will wait for outside(:45min that day which isn’t actually a long wait)and we will sit at the indoor outdoor bar while we wait for a table.

Our first time here was ok. The drinks were great, the service was average. Husband ordered a Cuban with no pickle, but the server advised they are prepped in the morning with pickles already on it, so they couldn’t remove it before warming them up. I ordered oysters and conch soup, my child ordered buttered pasta with fruit. None of what was ordered should’ve taken a 35min wait (unless they took that long shucking oysters). As the photos show, there were no conch pieces in the soup (moreso a spicy minestrone), the fruit looked old & grey, the pasta sat wherever it did and noodles started to become dry, and my husband didn’t enjoy the Cuban with pickle juice soaked into it. The fries were really good. Would give a second chance, but the first impression was not the best.

We’ve been here a few times now and have always enjoyed it. Good customer service and food. Their Grouper dishes are reliably good. Salmon is good. Tried the Conch Chowder recently and it tasted better than I expected; lots of flavor. Mussels are really good too.

Finally!!! This is where Green Iguana was for years & years and it’s been years & years sitting empty so hurray we got us Doc Ford’s in a great location and snowbirds are gone so we can finally get a parking space and get inside. It’s beautiful, clean and has great water views! We sat outside and had great service from Lamont. Music was nice. The Grouper sandwich is….okay. I’m a native and have tried so many grouper Sammies from our local spots. This wasn’t bad, just not as good as I would have hoped. You can see the bun!! Fish tacos we’re fairly good. The shrimp scampi flatbread was also a try. The slaw is outstanding, I love Jicama. The slaw was the best part of the crab cake appetizer. We came back after the above review. Sat along the rail and enjoyed the water view and a couple of beers. They really need a happy hour menu with lower prices. $17 for 6 baked oysters. We ended our evening elsewhere.

We went here on a Sunday about 4:00 o’clock. Was seated immediately in the dining room. All of our food was brought to the table hot. Everything was so good. This is our 2nd time coming here and we will definitely be back.
