I really liked this place. I got 4 bones "Memphis Style" dry. Dry just how I like them. No sauce!!! The bones were huge and when I bit into it all the meat didn't fall apart. The smoke ring was there and there was juice coming out of the pork. The server/ hostess/ cashier was great, she new the menu and she had a big smile. read more

The pulled pork and pulled beef were both really great and tender. All of their sides are really good. I'm especially a fan of the Mac and cheese pie and sweet potato soufflé. read more

Great BBQ and sides. Needs more space but may be more of a take out place than eat in.

First of many visits, this was a great meal all around! Quick service, casual seating, affordable enough to eat often-and everything from pulled pork to sides and dessert was delicious and freshly made in house. I am so glad to have this addition to Candler! I Next time I will order the plate with 4 sides-so good! read more

This place is awesome! We came to the Asheville area to visit, and found this spot. The customer service is thorough and very kind. The food is AMAZING! Even a friend of mine that doesn't like BBQ loved it! Absolutely delicious! Don't miss this spot! Thank you again! read more

Wife and I ate here about 5 PM on Saturday. Half dozen others in the small dining room, and fairly steady walk-ins for take-out. So it seemed like a popular place. We both ordered pulled pork plates. Good news first - the meat was moist and tender but not overcooked. There was a fair amount of bark. And the serving size was generous. The vinegar sauce was well blended with just the right amount of heat. That's where the compliments end. Though moist and tender, the pork was room temp at best - wife's serving was actually cold. There wasn't much in the way of smoke flavor. Wife found a slab of fatty skin-like flesh the size of a playing card in the meat. The Mac and cheese pie had an off flavor like ginger and/or nutmeg. My collards weren't mushy, but they had lots of thick stems that were still crunchy. I also found a piece of bone in them. The sweet potato souffle seemed confused whether it wanted to be a pumpkin pie dessert or a side with too much spice. Iced tea was weak and somewhat bitter - almost like from a powder mix. Staff only interacted with us to take our order and to say goodbye. Had they taken the initiative to ask how we liked our meals, I would have told them in no uncertain terms that we were sorely disappointed in the food. Definitely NOT going to recommend to friends. read more

While getting my car inspected, I noticed a rustic looking menu tacked to the shop bulletin board: "Doc Brown's BBQ." The selection listed looked tempting, and the mechanic said he and the crew ate there at least a few times a week. Hmmm, a good BBQ restaurant is just what the area needed. A week later I took my wife there for lunch and WOW! The food was excellent. The pulled pork plate came with two sides. I chose the Mac & Cheese and the Fried Cabbage; my wife chose the Baked Beans and Creamy Cole Slaw. Everything was delicious! The servings were generous, the service was fast, and the preparation was to perfection. It takes real talent to make moist, flavorful, BBQ'd pork, and this was the best. The sides were equally skillfully prepared, the cornbread muffins were great, and I think I could live on the Fried Cabbage! Bottom line, we've "found a home" for BBQ and tasty, creative side dishes. Even though we took part of our meal home for later (something to which we could look forward!) we were too full to try the desserts. Also, as we were leaving, another customer's order of Brisket Stew went by, and one glance put it at the top of my "What I'll Order Next" list. If you like skillfully smoked BBQ'd pork or beef, you can't go wrong at Doc Brown's. They appreciate the art of food preparation and, if you have an event, they also cater! Give Doc Brown's a try and you'll become a regular. Great food! read more

I am not local to the area but do travel here for work. Tried Doc Brown's out for first time and was impressed. Very nice staff and the brown bag lunch sandwich was quite good. Also tried the fried cabbage which was also very good. Will definitely be back when I am in town. read more

First off, this is a sit down restaurant, not a food truck. Order at the counter and they bring to your table. Owner said it used to a food truck operation but they opened the restaurant 10 months ago. We enjoyed our spur of the moment dinner here. We had great ribs, excellent greens and yummy mac and cheese pie. The cole slaw flight was tasty and unique. Also, some local draft beers. Well priced too. All five of us at our table would return. read more

This restaurant was wonderful. The food was delicious. My favorite was the Mac n cheese. We had to order some more to go! Olivia was great, helpful and so genuinely nice! Highly recommended read more

Awesome NC BBQ this what your supposed to get in NC, great service, some of the best pork, you add your choice of sauce, great slaw, just awesome, full five stars, just a great local place for great local BBQ. read more

Really disappointing. Super slow service. They didn't get my order right, food was cold, and just not that good. Really bummed as they're right around the corner from my house. Pulled pork not bad, greens very mediocre, and the beans......just sad.......no flavor at all. Will try again but it will be awhile. read more

We were there back in June and the food was great. We had the pulled pork and it was tender and flavorful. The mac-n-cheese and cornbread were also great. The inside is nicely decorated, and while not big, it is big enough to hold several tables worth of customers. It was an all around great meal. read more

Everything we ate was really delicious. Brunswick stew was so flavorful and fresh. Sweet potato casserole was the best. I want the recipe to brig to thanksgiving! Smoked sausage, macaroni pie, slaws (who ever makes a flight of slaw, a slaw-ski if you will, has my heart) Very friendly for kids, the staff were all working together as a team and the owner was right there helping too. First time we ever ate here and we'll definitely be back often! read more

We had Doc Brown's cater for a graduation party and the food and service were excellent. We have had a hard time finding great Eastern NC style BBQ in this part of the state, but with Doc Brown's we have finally found a winner! The BBQ and chicken were a big hit. We loved the mac and cheese and the corn muffins were moist and sweet. So glad to have this new place in Candler! read more

BBQ was pretty good.Collard greens not cooked with pig.But was cooked with a ton of garlic and what tasted like sweet pickle juice,pretty nasty.In the south it is cooked or seasoned with pork.Potato salad was mush,no pieces of potato.Pound of pork BBQ $10.00 ok,pint of potato salad $6.00,half pint greens $3.00, $20.00 but could get same but add 4 sodas and pint side and 4buns is $30.00 that's a bit much to me.Not worth the money. read more

Best BBQ I've had in western NC. Delicious vegan options. Will return!

Was not impressed. The bbq was average. They were out of several sides. They had no kids menu. Prices were a little high for the quality of food. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Wow, the food is delicious! All the way around- from the BBQ to the mac and cheese to the sweet potato casserole. Absolutely decadent! And the staff was so nice and accommodating when I asked to add and change something after I had already ordered and payed (even though my husband said, "Have you seen 'When Harry Met Sally'..." ;-X). I can't wait to go back! read more
