Stopped here while visiting Chicago. After sifting through Yelp, we found this place. Our friend, who is a local, mentioned that she'd been there once and it was pretty good. The first thing I noticed walking in was the ambiance. Nice decor with a city hotspot feel. We had a teen and tween with us and both found something on the menu. Most of us ordered bowls with sesame sauce which were delicious. We each ordered different meats with our bowls and no complaints. My son had a crispy chicken sandwich which he devoured and my daughter had a quesadilla which they prepared especially for her without any sauce. Everything was tasty. We had a problem with our order when my daughter found a small piece of plastic wrapper in her food. We told our waiter and he immediately informed management. The manager came over and offered a new plate but my daughter was fine having the current plate. So instead, she comped her meal and gave her a choice of dessert with a gigantic milk. Despite the minor glitch, this place deserves 5 stars for the way they handled this issue. We feel they went above and beyond to remedy the situation. If only all restaurant management were like this. If we are ever in Chicago again, we will be back. read more

Y'all... oh my gosh I finally tried Doc B's Restaurant + Bar in the Gold Coast and BABYYYY... the food was AMAZING--and honestly, pretty affordable too I'm lowkey mad I didn't get pictures, but listen... it was so good I couldn't even pause to take one I ordered the Cajun chicken club sandwich with sweet potato fries, and let me tell you... those fries? 10/10. No notes. The sandwich had candied bacon on it with this perfect sweet flavor, and it normally comes with honey Dijon--but I don't do Dijon, so I swapped it for this garlic sauce ‍ And when I say that garlic tanginess mixed with the sweet candied bacon... whew. Chef's kiss. Absolute perfection. My boyfriend got the steak wok bowl with corn, broccoli, brown rice, and some other veggies--and I definitely stole a few bites It was SO good. Like... flavorful, fresh, just everything. The whole vibe? Perfect for a lunch date. The ambiance was cute, relaxed, and just right And I loved that they serve room temperature water (because ice? not my thing ‍) But let's talk about the real star--our waiter Eli He was AMAZING. Super personable, funny, and just a whole vibe. He had the cutest red cat-eye nails and burgundy hair accents--like, style on point He told us he manages both the Gold Coast and River North locations, so I'm definitely hoping we run into him again. And when me and my boyfriend were holding hands at the end, he goes, "Aww this is so cute. I'm not jealous though" we all cracked up. Just made the experience even better. Listen... 5 stars is not enough. It's just not. If you've been thinking about going--THIS IS YOUR SIGN. Go. I promise you won't regret it read more

I've successfully been to the 2 Doc Bs locations in Chicago and didn't even know it. Our flight got in later and we wanted something within walking distance of our hotel. We also wanted to make sure we could watch the World Cup game. We got lucky (it was super busy) and scored a booth. We ordered some beers and entrees (I got the Wright Grilled Chicken Sandwich) and they were tasty and filling. Our server was great, really attentive, and we saw a USA win. I will hold true to my other Doc Bs review- please come to STL :) read more

Great spot with a menu focused on fresh/healthy food. The guacamole and sweet potato chips were great, as were the noodle bowls. Our waiter was great and they have indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Craved a hearty salad and Doc B's did not disappoint. Brussels sprouts salad had great flavor for being so simple. Added the protein and it definitely fills you up. The Number Six sandwich was a delicious chicken sandwich. Wish it was a chicken thigh over breast, but overall still tasty. Sweet potato fries were hefty and cooked perfectly. read more

nine years after my first review and still 5 stars. LOVE Doc B's. it always makes the cut when we have a quick trip to see family in Chicago. we've pretty much eaten the entire menu by now, but our current favorites are: chicken kabobs for wok bowl with salmon for me, smashburger for the boys, guacamole for the appetizer and feta cucumber salad/Cole slaw for the appetizers. So good. read more

This was my favorite restaurant we went to in Chicago! You must get the sweet potato chips and guacamole. Everything was so good, the service was great. We will go back here next time we are in Chicago! read more

Awesome! The food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic! The 3 of us ordered Filet & fries, Chicken kabobs, plus a ginger salad w/ grilled chicken and drinks. My colleague kept mentioning how the steak was cooked to perfection and the fries were the best he's had. Seasoned perfectly. I loved my ginger salad with chicken. We were all very happy! The only item I didn't care for was the Matzo ball soup. Highly recommend this place! read more

If it's located right off magnificent mile, it has to be magnificent right ? Yes. This place is quite magnificent. I'm a huge turkey burger fan and regularly seek them out on the road. It is wonderful. We also had a Cesar salad which is standard but really good. It says make reservations but we just walked in. Good place to watch a game right after a shopping spree. I loved it and you will too! read more

Doc Bs was pretty good! Very easy to get a reservation which makes it convenient for last minute dinner plans. The inside is a mix between a nice restaurant and a sports bar so you can either dress up or down when coming here. I liked my salad but thought it was overpriced for the mediocre quality. The shrimp was over cooked so next time I would get something else. read more

Love this place! Great food...exceptional fries! Especially like the filet sandwich, crispy chicken sandwich, chicken cobb salad, coleslaw, jalapeño potatoes, & pizza. Service is always great and atmosphere is charming and comfortable My only dislikes are the candied bacon & Bloody Mary. read more

We walked to Doc B's from our hotel and while we did not have reservations, we were able to get a table outside. Our server was extremely helpful and made sure we always had whatever we needed. For an app, we had the Housemade Guac with sweet potato chips and it had great flavor. Our entrees were the Chimichurri Steak, Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Cucumber & Feta Salad, and the Marinated Steak Wok Out Bowl with Sweet & Spicy Thai Sauce on the side. It's hard to say whose was the best, but we all tried each other's entrees. The fried chicken was juicy and satisfying, the chimichurri steak was extremely tender and addictive, and the wok out bowl had flavor in every bite and the steak was supremely succulent. Doc B's has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable pricing, and their food is outstanding. read more

We loved this place after a busy day exploring around the city. It has a great location and good vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating. Our food was delicious. I got the Cajun sandwich and really liked it. I choose the Buffalo potatos as my side. This was a big serving with a lot of food. We also got a side of broccoli to share and loved it. I was very impressed with the waiter. He was attentive and helpful. There were also additional waitresses filling up water. read more

We were in Chicago for a conference and we asked a local for a good restaurant recommendation for dinner. Our friend said one of her favorite places to suggest to visitors was Doc B's Restaurant. So, we gave it a try. The menu includes a wide variety of salads, wings, wraps, sandwiches and, my favorite, burgers. I was with a group of 4 and we all ordered burgers - and none of us opted for the same burger. So, our little group got to try 4 different burgers. And all four were delicious. Three of us ordered with a side of fries - also delicious. Great place for dinner in the Windy City. read more

Great food and attentive service. The street side seating at night on a weekday was calm and peaceful, perfect for a date night. I ordered the petite filet with the jalapeño potatoes. The jalapeño potato's came in an interesting presentation piled up with the sauce on top but it was delicious. They're smashed crispy potatoes with a creamy jalapeño sauce, not spicy just flavorful. The filet was the perfect size for me and the garnish of the tomatoes is a nice touch. I'm not sure what sauce was on the tomatoes but it was great. I paired my meal with a Riesling, my favorite. It was sweet and crisp. I loved the experience and will eagerly visit again. read more

Came here because we were staying at the Drake Hotel and the staff recommended it! It did not disappoint! We were seated immediately even though the place is fairly small. Walked past a table that had ordered the chimichurri wings and knew we HAD to get them. They were the best wings we've had ever!! Insane seasoning and crunch!! I ordered the steak sandwich medium rare. If you're torn on what to get, GET THIS! So so so good. My family also liked the wedge burger and the noodle bowl. Service was great! Definitely recommend!! read more

The food is great. That's why it's always crowded. They do a LOT of take out. Sometimes, I think the service is slow, but no much-and it's because that kitchen is so busy. When my husband needed an accessible entrance, the hostess was so kind in helping us that we came as often as my husband was able. We've picked Doc B's often for family birthdays, too. read more

Cute little restaurant to have drinks in dinner while exploring the city. Our server was great and efficient. The food came out timely, but was a little underwhelming for the price. The cocktails were tasty, but no buzz here. Typical bar and American fare. read more

We decided to have dinner here during our last night in Downtown Chicago. Ordered red wine (Pinot Noir/Oregon) and my husband had a nice, cold beer. I loved the simple salmon and was impressed with the kale salad! John enjoyed his chimichurri steak too! We were very pleased with our meal! Shoutout to our server, Takumi! The room was full and hot, but I think we were seated close to the kitchen - that may have been the reason for us feeling the heat. Nice , calm vibes... just what we needed before heading home the next morning. read more

Popped in here during a shopping day and was delightfully surprised by the food and beverage menu. Our server was polite albeit not very friendly until I really started chatting him up and asking about the menu. (Service is a grind, I get it.) I had the beet cocktail and my partner had the bramble. Both were delicious. For lunch, we shared the artichoke and he had the chicken Caesar wrap and I had the Cajun chicken club on pretzel bun which was amazing! Huge sandwich and the recommended tomato cucumber side option was something I've already attempted to replicate since getting home. For the price, a good value I think. read more

Doing some Yelp searching and found this little diamond in a rough. The atmosphere is great and very welcoming. Started with the matzo ball soup, which was amazing - from one Jew to another. Not salty, great consistency and the matzo balls had the perfect consistency. The meal was the marinated kebabs which were also outstanding. Still trying to figure out the marinade so I can recreate it, but it's too complex. The Greek salad side was a perfect compliment, along with the cilantro rice underneath. Total transparency, not a big cilantro fan, but it had the perfect "spice" to it, but didn't overwhelm the flavor of everything else. Katie waited on us and was attentive and confirmed our choices with solid recommendations on our wine and beer to complement the food. TOTALLY recommend! read more

We had an excellent casual dinner at Doc B's. We had been in town all week staying at the Sofitel and just wanted a good meal and good service without the bloated price tag and within walking distance. We chose well. Our server (Chris) was excellent; knowledgeable and willing to offer suggestions. Thankfully we listened to our server; the Tangled Noodle Bowl was outstanding. We would have preferred without the radish (not mentioned on the menu) but otherwise, just tremendous. My chicken wok out bowl was perfect. Pair these with the Slo Down Red Blend (slightly overpriced @$72) which was great and you have a fine meal. No room for dessert but they sounded delicious. Next time. I highly recommend this establishment read more

Came again after work and the experience is nonetheless fantastic. Eli was my bartender and I had another great experience here. I was jittery from all the caffeine but after having their signature crazy beautiful and a whisky smash i felt at ease . I love the area and the experience couldn't be better! It wasn't rushed. It felt classy and comfortable read more

Awesome lunch stop on Juneteenth. We sat at the bar, but all the tables looked great. Especially the outside and open window seats. Savannah really helped make it special.

We had a great evening here. It was an easy walk from The Drake hotel where we were staying in downtown Chicago. The menu had interesting items. The food we enjoyed for dinner was delicious. We enjoyed our server, too. Great ambiance. It is a small place, which made it feel cozy and comfortable. Worth it. read more

I was skeptical of trying this spot, as I looked at it as a tourist trap; however, I found myself hungry and decided to visit. I ordered the turkey burger and sweet potato fries. Both were absolutely delicious! Who knew avocado and turkey could taste so good? read more

We came here on Saturday and enjoyed it. We were able to get seated at the bar immediately and without a wait, which was nice. The food was all delicious! The housemade guacamole with sweet potato chips was on point and made for a solid appetizer. My fiancé liked her noodle entree. And the chicken kebabs hit the spot. Savannah also did a great job as our waitress and bartender. Five stars for sure!! read more

Ran in for a quick lunch when we arrived to Chicago. The food was so good we desperately tried to find time to come back. It has a typical all-American city restaurant vibe. The service was stellar!! Our waitress made several recommendations and definitely pointed us in the right direction! We had the wings with Chimichurri sauce and the Chicken Littles and fries (which came with several dipping sauces- sweet BBQ/chili sauce, honey mustard). We also asked for a side of garlic aioli. It was tough to decide which dipping sauce was better. The Littles were perfectly moist and crunchy on the outside. The fries are to die for. Highly recommend checking this place out!! read more

Think they're trying to do the Hillstone restaurant group thing, and by gosh they're doing it. I'm here on work and have eaten lunch here 3 days in a row. Servers are trained well and are professional. And the chicken Caesar wrap is maybe the best one I've ever had. read more

We were very overwhelmed here. Didn't walk in with any expectations, but came out wanting to go back! My son and I both had their Wok Out bowl which allows you to choose your protein, rice and sauce. We only differed in getting salmon and beef. Both had brown rice and sesame teriyaki...a delicious and healthy mix. My son had a sweet tooth craving for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cheesecake, which he loved. The remainder of the menu had a great deal of interesting choices that I'd love to try. It's safe to say we'll be back! Cheers. read more
