Probably the best barbecue in town. Good portions, a little pricy but it's barbecue, that's kinda just where things are at these days. Exceptionally tasty. Place has a homey atmosphere that I appreciate, the folks working there were polite. I got two meat plate with sliced brisket, jalepeno sausage, mac and cheese, and cobbler. Everything was delicious, but the brisket was definitely the highlight. I'll absolutely be coming back. read more

Not only is this place an incredible restaurant, but their catering service is truly something special. If you're ever considering BBQ for an event, I would recommend this company a million times over. We reached out to Jeremiah and his team to cater a celebration of life, and words can't express how grateful we are for everything they did. From the very beginning, Jeremiah was kind, responsive, and so easy to work with. His team went above and beyond in every possible way -- not just with the amazing food, but with their care, professionalism, and attention to detail. They provided everything we needed for a full-service experience -- buffet equipment, beverages, plates, napkins, utensils, and even delicious desserts. They handled the entire setup and tear-down, which allowed us to be fully present with our family and friends without having to worry about a single thing. The food was absolutely delicious, but what stood out most was the warmth and compassion this team showed throughout the entire process. Jeremiah and his crew truly made a difficult day a little easier, and for that, we are so deeply thankful. read more

We had a chicken plate and a rib plate. We stopped in late for lunch at around 2:15PM Chicken was tasty and moist. The ribs were delicious but a little dry, could be because it was late in the day for lunch. Cole slaw was just so so but not terrible; too finely chopped for our liking. Mac-n-cheese was perfectly warm and creamy. Sweet potatoes were really good. The pinto beans where very tasty too. The only cons overall is most of the food was a little on the cool side. Could have been a lot warmer. I would definitely give it a another try. read more

Several meat selections. Hot and cold sides in a buffet line. The cook custom slices your meat order. Sauce is served on the side and tastes good. The taste of the dry rub seasoning came through well. They give you the choice of lean slice or moist slices. I like the moist sliced brisket because the flavor of some fat is best. The sides of boiled cabbage, pinto beans and a role were great. I've cooked a lot of brisket using wood smoke and these folks do it very well. Way above average cooking with a beef brisket. read more

Some of the best damn chicken that has hit my mouth. Letting Indiana know they have nothing on this. Amazing. read more

Doc's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Crockett, Texas

Nothing exciting about the bbq here. Super salty and the dressing was not moist. Expected better.

Stopped for lunch here while passing through and wasn't disappointed. An unassuming spot connected to a gas station, it's not much to look at from the outside, but as you pass through the doors, you're greeted by the scent of smoked meats and the wood paneled, rustic charm of the dining room. Many items were sold out, but the friendly, patient staff at the counter offered up alternative options and suggestions. The chopped bbq and sliced brisket sandwiches were solid. We opted for lean brisket which was still tender and flavorful, but moist brisket is also available. We tried two kinds of sausage (regular and jalapeño cheese) and both had nice smokiness and snap. The kids smothered everything in sauce, which was thick and flavorful and not overly sweet or cloying. BBQ options are everywhere, but we wouldn't hesitate to stop again on our next trip through the area. read more

My first true Texas BBQ and it didn't disappoint! The 2 meat lunch was plenty of food. The cabbage was amazing! I'll be back for more!

Stopped I on my way to Fort Worth. What a good decision fate dealt me. All I can say is wow best damn ribs I've ever eaten. I didn't even need any sauce to liven them up. Coleslaw is good their sauce is good to. Great hospitality from the ladies at the counter. This place is good old country and the way I like it. I hope I'll be back thru soon. Thanks for the food and hospitality. read more

Taxidermy The smell of barbeque Wood floors Southern charm I love coming back to the small town of Crockett to visit family...Cause I know a trip to Doc's is around the corner. Sausage and cajun Boudin links, chopped beef sandwiches, ribs and brisket...we go hammmmm on the barbeque, Yelp. Why three stars? They changed cooks/pit masters some time ago and the barbeque perfection is lacking a little, but the new guy has been doing a pretty good job. Not bad. Sometimes the meat could be cooked a little longer, and sometimes it's OVERDONE and could be a little more tender, but no major complaints. The flavor is always there! I've never come across anything bland or underseasoned at this joint. At the self-serve station, they keep the barbeque sauce bottles in a warm bath of hot water, so the barbeque sauce is always warm. YESSSSSSS! read more

Very good food and great customer service! We will definitely be back And we'll bring the whole family.

We were driving by and decided to give this place a try. After looking at the steam table the Bbq didn't look to good. We asked the lady if they had fresh brisket. She got a fresh brisket. We both ordered a slice beef and jalapeño sausage sandwich...it was very good! This place was very cute inside. If I'm the area we will stop by again. P.S didn't give 5 star because of steam table presentation. read more

Reheated brisket, thankfully the bbq sauce was good because the brisket was as moist as my shoe. Go somewhere else.

Supposed to be the best. Was just alright, meats need more flavor. But I did see the turkey roll out some juice from it. read more

Doc's BBQ - Over priced and stingy - Barbeque Near Me - Crockett, Texas

Very good!!! The aroma sells you when walk in the door! I would say though that the food could have been warmer. Nice ambiance.

My family and I came here on a Saturday night and it was fairly busy! We really liked the brisket sandwich, ribs, and baked potato. Actually everything we ordered was pretty delicious! The brisket sandwich basket came with a side and a drink which was a great deal. They also have a variety of desserts that are homemade and tasted very fresh. The variety of sides were also great. We will definitely come back to Doc's! read more

We were passing through Crockett and decided to give Doc's BBQ a try. We were greeted with a friendly Hello as soon as we walked in. My wife and I had the Brisket Basket. The meat was tender and full of flavor. The sides were good too. Also, I had one piece of the Garlic-Pwpper Sausage. It was delicious. We dined in. The place was really clean. I am glad we tried them out. We will stop by every time we arr in the area. read more

Great BBQ baked potato, great brisket, and sandwiches. Sides are good. I really enjoy stopping here for lunch.

As part of a 3-business highway strip center, Doc's doesn't look all that inviting from the outside, but the sausage sandwich is good & the tender brisket is always excellent...neither too much char nor too smokey. We definately do not leave hungry. The 2 folks behind the counter have always been efficient & friendly. We look forward to lunch at Doc's whenever we drive to Shreveport and recommend the place to friends. read more

I was in Crockett visiting a friend in the hospital. I called Doc's BBQ & Smoked Meats and placed an order for 2# sliced beef. When I arrived I was greeted by Karson who had my order bagged and ready for my arrival. She was very friendly and helpful while I decided on sides. As I was leaving a customer commented on how great the service was and how he enjoyed eating at Doc's. I agree. When I arrived home the order was exactly right (which does not always occur with to-go orders) complete with some excellent BBQ sauce. My whole family loved the flavor of the meat, very tender and had a smoky right off the grill taste. We saved our left overs and enjoyed it just as much as we did Monday night! I will return to Doc's. read more

Fantastic pork ribs and near-flawless, flavorful brisket at this East Texas convenience store/restaurant. I'd give this five stars, but their sides are mediocre, and some of their meats don't fare under their heat lamps as well as others (the pork and sausage tends to dry out). However, if you're in the neighborhood, this is worth a visit for sure, and probably the best restaurant in Crockett if you're an unapologetic carnivore. read more

Wow! I'm here in town on business and asked where is one place I need to eat before leaving and this was recommended! Could be the best brisket ever! I asked for it lean and it was perfect, tender, fall apart and oooh the flavor was perfect, highly recommended. read more

We stop by at least 6 times a year on our way to Lufkin. I like that the servers trim some of the fat off the meat prior to serving. The ribs are simply delicious and the BBQ sauce in an excellent complement. There only 2 unique sides, macaroni & cheese and pecan pie. Everything else is just standard stuff like corn and beans. The place is located in a gas station, but don't let it's location fool you this is a full fledged restaurant with some amazing BBQ. read more

You know it's going to be good Texas BBQ when you step out of your car and can smell real wood smoke from the BBQ pits. My favorites are their brisket and ribs and I always get extra to take home when I stop in. Plus, there's free beans and bread! Prices are fair, the restaurant is clean, and the staff is quick and friendly. As a bonus, the country decor makes it a fun stop for kids. If you appreciate great Texas BBQ from a restaurant that takes pride in its food and appreciates your business, check out Doc's! read more

Staff was friendly and welcoming. Brisket and jalapeño & cheese sausage were delish! Would definitely come back if I'm ever passing through again. read more

I have been all over the U.S., and believe me, Doc's has the BEST brisket sandwich you will ever find!! And don't hide the flavor by putting sauce on it. It is tender and juicy and perfect just as it is. Get this, and then have another one for dessert!! (Or maybe the banana pudding...) read more

Doc's BBQ - Brisket sandwich and jalapeño cheese sausage. Yummy. - Barbeque Near Me - Crockett, Texas

Pretty good BBQ spot. Loved the jalapeño cheese sausage. Brisket tasted good, but meat was too crumbly. Ribs were good. Not going to rival the elite Texas BBQ spots, but I will certainly go back when I'm in town. read more

Mediocre at best. Service poor. This is just a side restaurant at a service station. I suggest filling up the car and going somewhere else. read more

Well another BBQ joint that promises too much. It cost way too much for the amount of food you get. Food tasted great but my two meat plate had two small ribs and about a three inch sausage cut up. Three sides but only if you didn't get potato salad that counts as two sides. I could have gotten past that if the service would have been good but... $48 for three people and we left hungry. read more

This must be the only BBQ place in Crockett. I purchased the four meat plate. Asked for double brisket, rib, and sausage. What did I get? Mostly fat for Brisket, cold sausage and no ribs. Just pass on this town for BBQ. I guess I could not ask for much since the store was part of a convenient store and a Whataburger. By the way, I did get a number one burger and chicken fingers for my girl and I. read more

Excellent brisket and sausage. Portions were huge. Free pinto beans. Very reasonable prices

I ventured into Crocket on way to Nacogdoches and decided to try some bbq at a couple places. I am from Austin and know good bbq when I see it as we have some heavy hitters on Texas Monthly top 50 BBQ in Texas. This unspooling place attached to a gas station didn't look like much but man the bbq was good. Some may say it was smoked too long and got too tender but I like my moist brisket to melt in my mouth with smoke and pepper flavors and this did not disappoint. You don't even need bbq sauce. Fantastic. I also had chicken which was moist and flavorful. I did not try sides or dessert but people say good. If it's anything like the 2 meats I tried, you will be in for a treat. read more

Best jalapeno cheese sausage I've ever had. Brisket is excellent. Very friendly service, too. I stop every time I'm driving through Crockett. Always a great meal. read more

Wasnt impressed. Read the reviews and decided to go there. First off, pork was extremely dry. ribs were good but nothing to brag about. brisket looked really good so i bought extra and got the end piece, which i my favorite. most of the end piece was fat. th brisket wasnt trimmed at all and was extremely fatty. i have eaten bbq all over the US and this was below average. potato salad and cole slaw were store bought. sides are definately an after thought. on a good note, my free desert from mentionimg yelp was by far the best part of my meal. i had berry cobbler and it was awesome! will not eat here again. read more

Doc's has good barbecue so I took my thanksgiving turkey there to be smoked. I was so very disappointed. It was dry and didn't even taste like it was smoked. read more

For a small town, definitely a decent option for food. When we got out of the car we smelled the BBQ...always a good sign. We had the ribs & brisket. Both were really good. Our kids ate sides of Mac and cheese without complaints. The beans have great flavor...& were just a little spicy, but not too spicy. read more
