Manager waited on our large group, during this time she appeared to be either heavily medicated or high on something. We ordered food and it was either over or under cooked. My steak was ordered medium well, and it came out very rare, which I discovered after cutting halfway through the steak. All the sides were soaking in blood from the steak. asked for a new plate in which I was told it is not their policy and that she could throw the steak only back on. After going back and forth for what seemed like an eternity she brings me the same steak that I said I didn't want and demands I try this piece of leather, I insisted she just take it all off the bill and she continued to badger me, I said no thank you but she continued with her argument. at the end when I received the bill she charged me for the salad I took a bite of and returned. Everyone said the food was terrible and that the managers attitude and reaction was very unprofessional. I will never go back to this place again, and would not recommend it to anyone! read more

I like the atmosphere of this place. It's very unassuming, hidden away in the corner of a strip mall. They have a list of beers on tap but chances are they will be out of your first, second, and third choice. Went for dollar taco night and it was at least 45 minutes before our tacos came out. Tacos that took about 1 minute to put together. They were good though and I've had good sandwiches here in the past. Pool table and jukebox are ready to play. It's a decent place to hang out. read more

Awesome variety of food and drinks. Very good hand cut fries, BBQ brisket and fish are the best. Beer list is great, they have Vandermill cider which is the best! read more

Consistently solid service. Friendly bar n waitstaff. Extensive beer selection. Before 8pm tends to be a slightly older crowd (35-60ish) after that its more mid 20-upper 30s. They always have beer of the month specials 1.25 can 2.25 bottle n honestly forget draft (draft splits my head open next day). Food is good too, i suggest captain jarhead, jonboy or greek burger. Also no natter what you get i suggest you get a side if their coldhot dip to go with it. Its A-MAZ-ING. Nice large wrap around bar or floor seating available. Thursdays are trivia night (not to hard that that you gotta be a genius but not to easy where dummies need apply). Saturdays are live music. One side of bar adjacent is a bit louder for music while other facilitates comfortable talking environment. Fridays n Saturdays 6ish to 9ish tend to be a bit crowded at bar (not necessarily floor or booths) most other times have ample room in either one. Enjoy. read more

Best bar food in town. Always delicious, always well done. Fantastic servers- Surprisingly awesome breakfast, too! Don't miss the pulled pork and the burgers. read more

Just left. Food was awful. The only reason they get 2 stars is because the bar selection has gotten better from the last time we were in. It's been a while. The recommendations were very wrong on what to get or my friends that go there have horrible taste. Service was average. Fries yuk. Burger meh. The BBQ chicken with cream cheese in the pita... you need to be trashed to love that. Sorry guys bad food. read more

Always great service. The food has always been good. You can tell that they really bread their boneless wings in house ...lots of draft beers to choose from. This place never disappoints!!!! The garlic Parmesan wings are the best !!!!! Head and shoulders above competition. read more

"Doc Watson's: Flavorful Foods and Spirits!" A rather bold claim for a dive bar, I had to see for myself. Tucked in a rather unappealing strip mall, apparently DW has been around ever since my friend's parents were in high school, so the establishment must be doing something right. Neither my friend nor I went for the alcohol, but we dived right into our dishes. The pseudo-healthy side of me dominated when it came to ordering so I ended up with a salmon, rice, and broccoli dish in front of me accompanied by garlic toast and a side salad. Considering it was bar food, it was quite delicious and the salmon was thick and juicy. Pretending to be a health nut, my friend opted for a side of broccoli... with his meatball sub. Fast eater that he's always been, I swear he just inhaled the sandwich seeing how it was gone faster than I had finished HALF of my own dish. Having perused the menu, I'm going to safely assume that most of the items are highly processed, but all that matters is whether or not it is pleasing to the palate, right? Another indication was the fact that our food came out rather quickly. By quickly, I meant that they arrived at our table faster than the time it took the Miami police to nail the robbery suspect involved in the high speed chase, the entertaining component to lunch. read more

It had been a looong time since we last came to Doc Watson's. We went around 7:30 or so on a recent Saturday evening for something to eat. Unlike the vast majority of similar places locally, there seemed to be plenty of staff which was clearly reflected in the service, which was very good. One of us ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, which used to be the go-to sandwich here. It did not disappoint - the chicken was very good, and the honey mustard is outstanding. The Cuban was also very good, and one that I would definitely order again. A very good bowl of chili - hearty, thick - not spicy (I like spicy and non-spicy). It's too bad Doc Watson's is not very convenient for us, otherwise we would be regulars. As it is, it is definitely worth a little extra drive. Seems like everywhere else in NW OH is struggling with staffing problems, consistency, etc....and maybe Doc's does too but it did not on this night. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I am giving this place 2 stars, because the breakfast burritos were delicious. From a service standpoint, I was less than thrilled. I opted for the Bloody Mary bar... The first waitress we had took our order only for the drink portion. We made our drinks, and the cleanliness of the Bloody Mary station looked frightening, to say the least. There is no telling how long all of that stuff was sitting out. I gambled and lost with that one, because my stomach started turning later on in the day. I only got 2 bloody Mary's anyway; however, the second one was a direct result of me physically going to the bar, and telling the bartender I wanted another one. So disappointing. Now comes waitress number two... this person took our order... it took FOREVER to get the breakfast burritos... I was starving, ate them, and they were good. The presentation was awful. Overall, I will never go back to this place. It was dirty, condiment bottles were sticky, and the service was sad. read more

Great breakfast food! I love going to Doc's on the weekend mornings!

Food is good, beer selection is good for Toledo but what they market as a pint is really closer to 12 oz after accounting for the head on the beer. I've seen the servers stir the beer before walking to the table so the glass appears more full which is a shameful practice. Overall worth a visit or two if you are in the south end of Toledo. read more

Docs has great beer. Good food. And the best staff in Toledo. My boyfriend and I Iove this bar so much, that when we come home to visit family we stop here before we tell them we've made it to town. read more

This place has it all. Not really a big drinker, but they always have good specials. As far as food goes, they are one of the best bars for great food-which are kinda hard to find sometimes. I have been looking all over for the best spinach and artichoke dip, and I found it with doc watsons. there is a thick layer of cheese on top of the sauce and the dip is served with pita chips - not too crunchy, not too soft., read more

I have been here a couple times. A good bar, lots of beer to choose from. However the seating is very cramped and nobody is there to tell you were to seat or a sign that says seat yourself. I stood there for 10 minutes before discovering I was supposed to seat myself. The bartender kept looking at us..but did not inform us. Food was good however, but the place just needs a better system I feel. read more

Place is decent. Food is pretty good. If you are going to go sit at the bar because you will get terrible service from the wait staff in the dining room. Don't go in the morning, the bartender has one brain cell and is lazy and rude. read more

Docs has great beer selection. The food is one of the best of the Sports Bars. Good place to take a date for a bite. It has a huge U-shaped bar so plenty of room to sit at bar. Service is usually par. Like Bob Evans they seem to do most everything well. read more

Docs is one of my favorite local restaraunt/bars. It has pretty good food and specials and has a larger beer selection than most places in the area. The service is always friendly and helpful! read more

Had a great time. They opened the pool table for us and drink specials were awesome. Will definitely be coming back again and again.

Good food, good conversations and good music. This is the best bar in Toledo hands down. Don't expect trendy club atmosphere or cell phone reception but this just helps you talk to each other. Good times. read more

Good spot for the weekend Bloody Mary bar and waffle. At times, the bar can be lacking, and the staff need to be asked for items, but this hasn't happened often. Skip the breakfast nachos though - light on chips and toppings. Seriously though, the waffle is perfection. read more

I really love this place and love taking friends/family here. This is somewhat of a hidden gem. It may not seem like much from the outside but the interior is intimate and cozy. They always have an awesome selection of beers on tap, monthly and daily specials, seasonal events, and pretty much any kind of food you're in the mood for. I particularly like the brunch with the Bloody Mary bar and mimosas but the burgers are also exceptional. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. read more

Horrible service. Sat right off the bar at a table with 8 people. Waited for service for 45 minutes and finally went to the bar. Got one drink asked if there was a server coming. Bartender said yes. We waited a few more and left. read more

This place has a waitress at the bar that is VERY RUDE. When I'm in your establishment and I'm spending my money, I expect decent customer service. The food was OK, but the customer service was AWFUL. She acted like she had an attitude, and was just trying to get rid of me...This will ABSOLUTELY BE THE LAST TIME I GO TO THIS PLACE... read more

Jack grilled portabella sandwich is really tasty!

One of the best bar and grills to go in Toledo. Great food.. Nice beer rotation... Great atmosphere! Get here!

Doc Watson's is not too far from our house so we come here often. I love stopping for a bite to eat and a brew. I always have good service and the food is always great. It's a fun atmosphere for a group of friends or even just a dinner for two on a weekday. It's nothing fancy but it's better than your average bar. Doc Watson's is a go-to for me and my boyfriend. PS. The 'Cold Hot Dip' is awesome! read more

I had the worst bowl of Beef Harvest canned soup today. It was like I was eating the can. Ordered Garlic Toast and it was one greasy slice of grilled sandwich bread NOT Texas Toast, with not the least bit of garlic. Doc Watson's is routinely SUPERB, but something is amiss in the kitchen on this particular visit. A group of us were planning to eat here tonight but after the...brutal tongue lashing I got from the manager, this older woman with cotton candy white hair and 2 black eyes told me I WOULD PAY FOR THE SOUP I didn't eat. She had this delight in her eyes like she was enjoying telling me I was stuck paying the bill. The 35 year old waitress who had 32" long light brown stringy hair was very unhappy with me telling her I could not eat the soup. I did not even mention it was warm not hot. I thought ordering something else would be apology enough for not liking the awful tepid gruel. These two women were very, very hateful to me. I left very hurt. I did not tip and I have cancelled our party of 8 for dinner following the Lights Before Christmas at the Toledo Zoo. I will never return. I look forward to speaking with the male owner. He will be instrumental in me removing this post. read more

Ordered potato skins. 4 half potatoes arrived. Small to medium sized potatoes. Charge was $11.00. Way over priced for 2 medium potatoes. Will not give my money to this establishment again ! read more

Food is good, service mediocre, and music too loud for dinner crowd. Keep it in background until late night customers arrive. It's nice to hear conversation from those sitting across from you. read more

Solid place to go. The food is good. The bar is awesome. Great beer selection. However, our service was just okay.. Would go back anytime!

Four stars for staying open late. But the chicken tenders I had were anything but tender, with a coating too thick and hard as the plate on which it was served. They were great years ago, but new cooks can drive away patrons. They need to ask themselves, "would I eat this?", before serving the item. read more

They have a Huge Menu for a bar and pretty decent bar food. I have come to expect bar food as bar food and have not found any amazing crazy bar food i want to rave about yet in toledo. They all seem similar in one way or another. read more

Rude bartenders and meager portions. I ordered a basket of fries and was told by the bartender I was "boring" . And what I got was 12 fries on a small plate. Never again! read more

Doc Watson's is a great time all around. The bartenders are tremendous, very out going and very knowledgeable about their items. Even their door man, Marcus was phenomenal. Could not say enough great things about this place. read more

Doc's is the ultimate neighborhood bar/grill. They have an amazing selection of beer on draft and terrific food for every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The service is fast and friendly and the prices are very reasonable. For my wife and I this is our go to place whenever we don't feel like eating at home. read more

We always come here Sundays for breakfast good food for a good price! We have been coming for at least 10 years! Even my niece worked here at one time! read more

Doc's is our go-to neighborhood place for a quick meal and a beer, and we go there quite often with our daughter and her family. After reading some of the other reviews which are all over the place in ratings, I feel I should put in my 0.02. My husband loves the craft beer list. It changes often but he can always find a new one he wants to try. They have growlers now, but the growler prices are pretty high. They quoted him $35+ on a growler fill-up on the last beer he had there. We didn't fill up. The Oliver House Brew Pub's growlers run about $20 so this price seemed really excessive. Food quality is variable, depending on what you get. I've learned to stick with thr Doc Burger and my husband gets the fish and chips. These are safe and predictable. I got a baked potato a couple of months ago and it must have been in the oven for over 8 hours. It was shriveled up and it was almost impossible to cut through the skin to eat it. I should have sent it back. Stick with the basics on food and you should be okay. One beef I have is the small plastic plates that don't give you a whole lot of room to maneuver your food around to cut into it. OTOH, they keep the portion sizes reasonable so you don't deal with a ridiculous mountain of food you can't eat. The plates are OLD, guys. You need to pony up for some real plates. Go to the bargain bin at the Libbey Glass outlet and load up. Anything is an improvement. You will be supporting the local economy instead of that of melamine manufacturers. I gave the review a "3" as the positives (beer list) outweighed the unpredictable food problems. If you go there mostly for the beer list, you will not be disappointed, as they have one of the largest selections of craft beers in South Toledo. read more

I love Docs!! They have a really great menu. There are so my different options and everyone that I take there loves the food. I never have a problem with service. They always have something going on, whether it is a live band or karaoke. It is a great place to meet friends for fun and food! read more

Great place to watch football or hear live music. Pretty good beer selection and super friendly staff. Food is good (recommend wings and sandwiches) and the crowd is cool. read more
