The food is good & its a nice place if you want a little bit more for special occasions without being too fancy

Great food and wonderful atmosphere! My husband and so sat outside and the view was amazing. Service was great, and the food was even better. The portion size was great for the price. read more

I am from out of state and recently went here to visit with family and friends. My out of state ID was apparently flagged by their scanner system and they refused to serve me alcohol. The ambiance was nice and the shuttle system was great. I can't comment on the food because my group immediately decided to leave and go somewhere else after they refused to serve me. If you are in your 20s from out of state, I would recommend bringing a second form of ID since their scanner system is not accurate. read more

Despite the impressive and well-maintained venue at Doc & Bubba's, I was disappointed by the below average and overpriced food during my visit. I was impressed with the venue. It's a gorgeous place with stunning fixtures & equipment and pizza ovens - it's clear the owner cares about the place. However, I was disappointed with the food, which was below average and overpriced. For $15 a simple veggie sandwich should be mind-blowing but it was just average and not very memorable. The sandwich was lacking any exciting flavors or ingredients besides the roasted veggies. In comparison, for the same price point, there are much better options just a few minutes out in West Reading. The drinks were well-made and creative, however, that doesn't make up for the food. While I would love to come back here or host an event here because of the venue, I would strongly hesitate to come back for the food. The fancy fixtures can't fix the mediocre-at-best menu. read more

PHENOMENAL food! Great vibe. Staff was really attentive and nice! We will def go back. The wings are a MUST try! read more

New to the area, we were eager to try Doc & Bubba's. The sophisticated interior sets an expectation that the cuisine just doesn't deliver. The hard working bartender was stretched thin, delivering meals to tables and serving a packed bar. In short order, she delivered a top notch dirty martini. Unfortunately, the blue cheese stuffed olives cheapened her flawless execution of a frosty (shaken not stirred) martini, with just the right amount of dirty. The cheese was dry and flavorless and there were two olives versus the typical three, which seemed a bit chintzy. We ordered Wings with Korean Barbecue Sauce. The sweet sauce lacked any hint of Asian spice. There was absolutely nothing to distinguish it as Korean. The Vegetarian Pizza was described as having grilled eggplant on it. The eggplant was undercooked (spongy) and as a former Chef, I would wager that it had never seen a grill. The other vegetables were fresh and appealing. The crust was quite reminiscent of Stouffer's frozen. We would return to this aesthetically appealing place, but with lower expectations. Maybe hot wings next time, and a burger? read more

Great atmosphere inside and out with an extensive menu and very good food. Service is friendly. Beer and cocktails are very good and the wine list and vault look extensive. Highly recommend. Do be patient as they get very busy and often require that you park at a remote lot and get shuttled to the restaurant. read more

Our family of seven dined here for Father's Day. It was a wonderful experience. The drinks, menu, service and the music was top notch. The owners are very visible and helpful. We enjoyed our time here and will return in the future. Thank you for an excellent brunch ‼ read more

We heard lots of good things about this place. The vibe is cool and we loved the ambiance even if they didn't sit us in the main area. The restaurant seemed understaffed because it took forever to get water, we had to ask for small plates or even utensil multiple times. Some of the food was good like the pizza and berry salad, however the shrimp pasta came cold and the watermelon salad was literally just a slab of watermelon on top of arugula. I mean $17 for a salad and they make the presentation like that? At least char grill the watermelon to make it look like there was actual effort! They also forgot the someone's lobster roll which was frustrating. It's a shame because the owner was there and it seems like all of the attention was to them. read more

The atmosphere outdoors is amazing here. Unfortunately, I don't go out to eat for the atmosphere alone. The food was subpar and the service was terrible. We really should have left when we overheard the two tables on either side of us complaining to each other about the food and slow service but we decided to stick it out. We ordered one cocktail and some soft drinks. The soft drinks came decently fast, but after 30+ minutes the cocktail wasn't there. We had a good view of the bar and I saw a drink sitting there for quite awhile. When we asked our server, he went to the bar and picked up the same drink that had been sitting there 20+ minutes and brought it over. It had separated and was warm from sitting in the outdoor heat. The food - ugh. Shrimp pasta - the shrimp was way over cooked and rubber like. Barely warm. Pizza - looked great, but looks are deceiving. Also not hot. Loaded tator tots - they are tator tots. You can't really mess them up. But you can over charge which is what they do here ($14). Would have liked to order dessert, but we watched the table next to us get apple pie with ice cream and the ice cream was literally half melted when it was brought to their table. This place is pricey, but their food and service definitely don't warrant the pricing. read more

Amazing food, views and atmosphere. All the appetizers and meals we have tried have been so good!!!

food and service was outstanding! atmosphere was absolute gorgeous. I love the vibe and will be back!

Great food and atmosphere! Went last summer with friends, we ate outside it was such a nice vibe with drink and conversations.

Honestly really disappointed with the menu. Nothing sticks out to the eye. Came to take my girlfriend out & were both disappointed with the few options to choose from. Such a beautiful environment, it's a-shame there's not many options... read more

This place doesn't even deserve the "1" star given. Attempted to go for a nice Sunday brunch. Arrived at 11:45 waited 25+ minutes for someone to come greet us and give us waters/ take drink order. Mind you they placed us at a table far from everyone by the back exit. NO we didn't look fancy dressed up, but we just came from church so we were wearing nicer clothes. The owner walked past us numerous times seeing we had no even been brought waters yet. I smiled at him every time he walked past to be nice and he'd look right past me. A group of 4 or more were about to be seated next to us when the owner personally told the hostess "these customers should not be sat here" and proceeded to move them where everyone else was. He also was personally filling waters and coffees to other tables while my husband and I had to continue to wait for our water. When our drink orders were FINALLY taken it took 20 minutes to get a draft beer and sangria. The beer was poured into a gross handle mason jar half way just head. Meanwhile it was the most expensive beer on draft and everyone else had nice beer glasses. I asked if fries were available, I was laughed at and said if they have to be again meanwhile I saw quite a few tables happily being served fries. Then was told over half the menu items were "sold out" meanwhile at this point its 12:15. I've never felt so judged or disrespected at a restaurant before. The rumors of how the owner treats staff and customers is clearly right. A complete A-hole. His head is too high on a horse for a Mohnton restaurant. Once we finally got our drink order we paid and left to go to a real restaurant where our money belongs. Never again setting foot in this place and regret telling friends of the pace. read more

Had lunch today with my sisters...We had a wonderful waitress, Riley. The area is lovely and the food was very good.. We will be returning! read more

Our group of six came here on August 24 for my 70 th Birthday celebration. Bubba saw my birthday sash and immediately came over to wish me a super birthday and to get ready for a special night. Everyone went perfect. He made it a point to keep checking on us to be sure we were having a great time and ended up bringing us a beautiful selection of desserts to finish off our night following that up with a drink nightcap!, I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion even if it's just a regular night out. read more

Drove almost 30 miles to this place for my wife's birthday and I have to admit it's a very nice establishment but the food is definitely not worth the travel time. Our server was very nice and attentive, especially with the large crowd of diners, again though the food was nothing special and the small portions were overpriced. Won't be making that drive again. read more

What a great blessing to be able to visit this establishment. Amazing music and food.

Amazing atmosphere! Love sitting out back and they have it just as nice in the winter as in the summer. The food is so good! I never have had a bad meal yet. The service is friendly. read more

Eating this food was spiritual experience, service was fast and friendly and the ambiance of the patio is gorgeous. read more

This review is only for people who care about fresh, good-quality food. Everyone else - enjoy your dinner! We ordered two pizzas, and the server returned with two round objects that resembled pizza. Both crusts were pre-formed and perfectly round, the cheese was bland, and the sauce tasted like it was fresh from the can. As I took my first bite, I realized that I was about to pay $36 for frozen pizzas. I'm giving two stars because the decor was nice, and our server was great. However, I've noticed a trend lately in the Lancaster region: "Let's build a really trendy restaurant with great decor, and trick everyone into believing we have really great food because of the ambiance." I always leave these establishments scratching my head because it seems to be working. Dead Pizzaiolos everywhere are rolling over in their graves. And the music is way too loud for comfortable conversation. read more

The singular star is for the wait staff - they were so kind and I felt bad that they were so overwhelmed. We had a reservation at 12 on Mother's Day and we're seated until 3. The owner gave tables away to his friends over us knowing we were waiting for hours. They didn't have enough silverware for our party & every single toilet in the women's restroom was overflowing so we had to leave the restaurant to go to the bathroom. We came for brunch and by the time we were seated they wouldn't even serve us brunch... ridiculous. Our waitress was an angel but that was about the only good thing to come out of this experience. read more

Michael doesn't acknowledge the patrons. Feels like we're bothering him every time we order. We will never come back to this place. I say thank you every time without one response. Won't get my money. And I'm not exaggerating. read more

Went twice. Both times our food was rushed, like salad coming out with entree. The food was average in terms of taste. We were charged for a refill for soda. read more

We were at a local greenhouse and hadn't had lunch yet. This place looked interesting on Yelp. We got parking easily and we were seated right away. Any later and you better have made a reservation and you may be in remote parking, with a shuttle. The place is gorgeous. It wasn't opened like I guess it is in nice weather, but what a patio! A gorgeous waterfall, a fire going, so much greenery and just beautiful. Large bar, several TV's, inside and outside seating. I truly wish my small town had someone, anyone, willing to start a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing restaurant with good food and good service like Doc and Bubba's. They would make a mint. We have the same people with a monopoly on the town (both a restaurant and a brewery) and their food is awful, the beer is awful, and they put zero, nada, nothing into the aesthetic value. These people, in what we would call the middle of nowhere, get it. Come to West Grove, please read more

This was our first time to this establishment, but we will never go again. The food is overpriced bar food!! The wings were so dry and not tasty at all. The fries were soggy, not crispy, and the pizza was horrible. It was not cooked all the way through. Even after taking it home and reheating it in the oven, it was still inedible. Our waitress provided great service, but the bartenders were rude and not friendly at all. And having to park a mile down the road and get shuttled to and from the restaurant was also not ideal. I definitely dont recommend visiting this bar. read more

Beautiful outdoor patio with an amazing view, waterfall, and even Cornhole. The outdoor area is large and mostly shaded by nice umbrellas and awnings. The place itself is 5 of 5 stars. In my opinion however, the deluxe atmosphere was killed by awful, cheesy, grocery store music. I thought I liked all genres of music until I heard that. Haha. Also, the beer selection is poor and way overpriced (see attached pic). Even a bottle of crappy Labatt Blue is $8... And a half decent IPA is $9. I can't comment too much on the food because we just had a pizza. If they simply fix the music and drink menu it will easily become a 5 star place. read more

Well! While waiting for our table we enjoyed a wonderful view! we also had the opportunity to talk with people as they left and they all looked so happy:) We were a party of 9 so I am sure it can be a challenge to seat 9 people. When our name was called or we got the text, we were quickly escorted to another staging area and the wait was very short (so far so good). Now somewhere between getting seated and getting our drinks something happened? Our server was changed because of a conflict of interest. I have never heard of that at a restaurant.....I guess whatever works to get food on the table The server was friends with someone from our party. Now If that's what an establishment does then fine, however, maybe because I am honest I was kinda put off by it. I have to say I think having a server that knows you is what happens when you go to an establishment often, but that was not our case. I do think the change threw the servers off, so it did take a minute for them to get back on track. I can say for the number of orders the new server had to catch up with, all our orders were correct. The food was excellent from the Brussel Sprouts to the homemade vanilla ice cream:) For appetizers we ordered Banhbang Shrimp I think they were supposed to be spicy but didn't get close to half of the alarm on the heat chart:) but they were good:) we also had Brussel Sprouts with bacon and Ceasar Salad really good, just remember to tell them you want bacon in those teams although it was listed you actually have to request it. I had the salmon and it came out perfect. The highlight is the owner came to the table to introduce himself, I thought that was very nice considering how busy it was. I mean it was so busy they ran out of steaks! several people in our party ordered steak only to be told after ordering that they ran out. I think we were there at about 6 pm so if you choose this establishment on a Saturday make sure you go early, and please get the ice cream it was fantastic! This place is certainly worth a try, good food, a fun atmosphere, and an owner that takes time out of his busy night to introduce himself! how good does it get? Until next review stay safe, VJ read more

Lovely atmosphere, quick service! The menu has a variety of dishes. I tried the lobster bisque and it was better than other local restaurants in our area . Definitely will be coming again read more

Went to this new place for lunch today and ordered the lobster roll with fries and was fantastic. Sat at the bar and the bartender very sociable drinks were fantastic also prices are not too bad. Will definitely be back read more

The place is beautiful, the service was fantastic but the food is bland and basic. Cool place to hang out for drinks.

First time here! We had fantastic service and great food! They did an incredible job with the patio and the view is amazing! We will definitely be back! read more

The restaurant is well staffed with had working servers. The food was outstanding. The outside seating is tough to get but the views are nice. read more

Mother's day was terrible. We had a reservation for 1:30 for Mother's Day Brunch. We did not get seated until 2:40 pm at which time they informed us that brunch was no longer being served. Food came out at 4 pm and to make matters worse the bathrooms were not workin. We usually love this place, but they did not plan for this special day. Our waiter was so nice and they ended up comping our meals after spending more than 4 hours ther. read more

A Marvel in Mohnton From the ambiance to the servers, Doc and Bubbas is a delight. Indoors or on the patio surround by just the right amount of heater, the restaurant is quite comfortable. We have sampled both the lunch and dinner menus and have not been disappointed by either. The crispy Brussels sprouts and Bang Bang shrimp appetizers are to die for! The SSC Pasta was loaded with seafood, and the angel hair was cooked perfectly. My husband found the short rib pierogis equally delicious. The variety within the food choices was especially helpful, as our daughter follows a completely vegan and gluten-free diet. Our server, Drew, was extremely attentive, respectful and knowledgeable of the vegan and gluten-free menu choices, and this immediately put us at ease. The fact that they even had something other than the standard impossible burger or tossed salad was a dream in itself. read more

I've been twice and love it however you have to go with the expectation that they are short staffed and still working through a lot of new restaurant kinks. Absolutely love the design inside and out. LOVE sitting outside. The bartenders inside while we waited were awesome despite being short handed. Some food was really good and some really needs work. The bang bang shrimp app., brussel sprouts app, truffle fries and the gyro were amazing. Needs major work, the pizza and salads. Drinks were all really good and strong and service all around was very good and friendly. As I said the food does need some help though, more flavor, salt. The pizza really really needs helps. It wasn't even palatable. Prices I feel are pretty high especially for salads, however I think it's comparable to everyone else jacking their prices up due to inflation. The live music is nice and makes for a fun date night. We will keep going back as we know they just opened and some of that stuff is to be expected. Definitely a much needed beautiful dining spot in the area! read more

I'm gonna give them a 4 just because 1) they're super new and 2) it's takes a bit to knock my socks off. I'm willing to give it a shot though.. My husband and his son had burgers. I personally don't think a burger is worth a $20 price tag. My husband judges a place by their burgers. not really MY idea of a bench mark but.. I'll never order something I can make at home, but that's just me. I ordered the short ribs and pirogies. Def something I'd not make at home.. the pirogies were tender as were the ribs. I was hoping for a BIT more seasoning to them but overall the dish was well done. A our waitress suggested a fresh watermelon cocktail to top it off. That was a win. Oh she was very nice by the way and did a nice job getting the grub to us. Great service.. My husband had the loaded tots appetizer. He was enthusiastic about it and forced me to taste it. I'm NOT a tot fan -I don't like the texture. If I HAVE to eat them I want them crispy.. these weren't. I did enjoy the sauce that was on them tho. don't know what it was but it was tasty. Overall It was ok. Looking forward to maybe a date night there rather than toting kids. Sometimes the cost factor will dictate what I will order, since we have to accommodate a third - especially with things being so expensive right now. Overall I'd say it's on the pricier side but it's worth at least one trip to see how you like it. They are first come, first served. They don't take reservations and apparently they don't offer take out unless you walk in order and wait. There's no phone listed for them. I found one that was offered as a potential from a Google review but it doesn't identify as being Doc and Bubba's. Oh and their parking situation is lacking. There are Shuttle buses that will take you from offsite parking to the restaurant and back but they're tiny little vans. Cool longing but If suspect If you have more than 4 in your party, you may be split up.. not 100% on that but it may be a possibility.. read more

Great food and atmosphere. I recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning.

Just had a great dining experience at Doc and Bubbas. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable (sara). The atmosphere is beautiful and the food is delicious. What makes this place extra special is the vegan options on the menu! Special shout-out for having this option on your menu...and dessert too! We will certainly be back! Parking is sometimes tricky but they have it handled so don't stress! read more
