Doc's Baja Surf Shack - New Haven

Excellent experience and food was awesome! Went to go back today and they are renovating which is awesome! I went to bring you guys the hot sauce I promised I would, I didn't forget!!

Someone needs to be in charge. Attempted to visit on Thursday after seeing a Facebook post saying Come in, we 're open tonight Went there and the place was completely empty, as in doors locked, dark, and no one inside. Sent a FB message and their reply was that are only open Friday- Sunday now and their social media person didn 't know. Ok, Cool. So I attempt to go back 3 days later on a Sunday to find the place again, completely empty, doors locked, dark, and no one inside. The only difference was the Now Open sign sitting outside the front door. Write another FB message and this time, only 3 days later, they 've changed their hours again saying they are now only open Friday Saturday... WTF? So Yelp, Google, Grubhub, FB, and even the Doc 's own website all have the wrong hours? Somebody needs to take charge and get it together. I 'm not wasting any more of my time, my friends ' time, and gas money trying to enjoy a place where the only real proof that they ever open is a disappearing/reappearing now open sign by the front door

This place isn't bad. The extended room off to the side had no air circulation. We were disappointed to hear that they didn't have any lobster, mussels, oysters or desserts. It's not very kid friendly. The staff seemed really nice and they had really good prices on the food. I was very happy with how the food taste.

I'll start off by saying that I really wanted to like this place. Seemed like a fun spot to grab drinks and food. We had a Groupon so we stopped by one day to try it out. There was only one other table in there when we came in. The bartender was super friendly and attentive. He informed us that they were out of a long list of various items including the pretzels, mussels, all lobster items, and several other seafood and other related things. Very odd for a restaurant. Thankfully we were just stopping in for some drinks and a small bite, so that didn't bother us. The reason that this review is getting two stars instead of just one is because the bartender was super friendly and the nachos were good. Even though the nachos are a bit more expensive, you get a gigantic portion. And they are pretty damn tasty! Unfortunately, the other item we ordered--chicken tenders--came out extremely under cooked. And by undercooked, I mean half of it was raw (see photo). We don't foresee us going back to this establishment again. They didn't have in stock almost half of their menu items, and then they couldn't even safely or correctly prepare the food that they did offer.

Had a wedding party there today it was nice service okay bartender really nice dude customer service very professional ???
