    I'm not sure if this would be a place I recommend to others yet. One dish I had was amazing (the packers loaded spuds) the other dish was pretty gross (brisket grilled cheese and mac n cheese). The customer service was great, my server was very nice. My food came out in a decent amount of time. The Packers Tots were everything and more! They were cheesy, meaty, with that hint of bbq sweetness. Every layer of food produced a new layer of flavor. The brisket grilled cheese, however, was the exact opposite. I thought it would be hard to mess it up its meat and cheese melted together, but the flavors they used worked against one another. And don't get me started on the very sad Mac n cheese. I would come back just for those Packers Tots, but only that.

    We were in town for a conference last month and staying at a nearby hotel, so we decided to give this BBQ spot a try. I've been craving good barbecue for a while, and I had high hopes and I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint. For context, I live in California now, where BBQ tends to come in small portions with big price tags. So I was pleasantly surprised not only by the flavor but also by the portion sizes here. I ordered the one-meat platter and almost went for the two-meat but glad I didn't, because the serving was generous enough to have leftovers for the next day. Service was lightning fast and super friendly. Drinks hit the table in about a minute, and food followed just a couple minutes later. The space itself is big, with plenty of seating and a well-stocked bar featuring some top-shelf liquor. One unexpected (but very welcome) surprise? They offer an extensive cannabis beverage menu which we all decided to try out. Definitely a first for me at a BBQ joint! Our conference returns to Milwaukee next year, and I'm already planning to come back. Great food, fast service, and some unique twists you don't see everywhere.

    Wasn't bad but it felt like I was invited to my acquaintance's house for the first time as a third grader and their family's food is really not that good at all but you must eat it and try to save it with any sauces or condiments you can find and have access to and being polite about it at the same time. Good thing is that they have a lot of sauces here and I loved them! (needs flavor here....)

    Drinks.  Peach tea was the best.

    We had an event to attend downtown so we decided to give a new place a try. This brought us to Doc's. We had a very attentive waitress. The ambiance was just so so. Nothing special, your typical feel of a hall. The food was delicious. The ribs were really good. Would definitely order them again. I had the Brussels Sprouts as a side. They were good but comparing them to others I have had they fell short. My husband had the special, a brisket grilled cheese that he said was yummy. We also included drinks... the peach tea. We could have sat and drank more. Recommend. Good BBQ, you should give it a try. The preparation of the meats was spot on!!

    WINGS! Get the wings! Great place for wings and sometimes they're even half off. Have had multiple items here and never really disappoints. If you come with a group try the platter where you get to try a little of everything. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Food tends to come out pretty fast.

    If staying at the Hyatt Regency in Milwaukee (or if in the neighborhood) and in search of good barbecue nearby, this is the place. Five different barbecue sauces are available at the table depending on what you like (sweet, Memphis-style, Carolina, Texas heat, or Alabama-style). The smoked turkey had great flavor, but the dirty rice really hit out the park with the seasonings. The mac 'n' cheese was just ok. The servers working were very fast and friendly. I enjoyed this place and would visit next time I am in Milwaukee.

    Found this place on yelp but let's just say, most of the people who are leaving reviews for this place can't possibly know Texas BBQ- this place has a nice environment but the food is lacking- The brisket even though we asked for moist brisket just tastes like more of a cafeteria quality instead of the high quality amazing melt in your mouth brisket that we are used to at home- i admit we are spoiled with our bbq options in texas so this place might be decent for around here for all I know- Anyone coming from a place with excellent bbq seriously needs to lower their expectations for this place but in all honestly, go somewhere that this town is known for like german. The skin on the chicken wasn't crispy- the sausage was overcooked which you can tell because even the skin was wrinkly- the mac n cheese was OK but nothing too special but it probably was one of the better items we ate. The beans were wayyyyy to sweet- wow- i honestly couldn't even eat them. I enjoyed the fried pickles- my husband did not. Not to mention we spent $50 with tip on crappy bbq- just sad- it tasted like bbq that would have been served for free in the cafeteria for our hotel- but that food is free so we give it more grace than this restaurant with this price tag. I will say, The waitress was very kind but i don't think i had one water refill the entire meal. I honestly hate leaving negative reviews at places and am sad that this yelp find was a complete fail but hopefully im helping someone out there who has the pleasure like me to enjoy amazing bbq to avoid this place and choose elsewhere.

    Awesome BBQ place in downtown MKE. Their drink list is awesome from cocktails through local MKE craftsman beers even a 2 Michelin star rated beer . BBQ s are excellent too. From ribs, smoked meats including turkey aand Local Usinger sausage. The Usinger sausage is great , not too salty to my liking. Meats are Smokey and tender falling off from the bone. They occasionally ran out of meat towards the end of the day. Once they ran out they don't make it until next day. Service is awesome too. If you're in downtown MKE, a must try.

It's in a great location right off the highway by the Public Market. I was greeted immediately by the bartender and a server very quickly came to seat me and supplied me with menus and water while I waited for my friend. He came back immediately when she got there to greet us and see if we needed anything right away. We ordered margaritas and a few appetizers. Shortly after, we ordered dinners. We had biscuits and fried green tomatoes, and we each ordered a different type of spicy chicken sandwich. We both really liked our food. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was really good and the biscuits were soo good!! The fried green tomatoes were just so-so, but I don't have much to compare it to. Our margaritas were very tasty. The server was fantastic. He was very friendly and attentive, but not over the top. He asked if we wanted more drinks or dessert. We did get another round of drinks. And he refilled our waters, which I appreciated. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to friends and will be returning! Thanks for a great experience!

Fried chicken wing dinner and oxtail dinner. Sides greens, yams, mac, & red beans and rice. Used the restroom while we waited. It was fairly clean until the sink showed hair from someone who had just had a fresh haircut. EWWWW... Food was ready in like 10mins. High hopes when I saw the chicken was freshly cooked and everything was hot. And the joy ended there. My oxtail were soooo fatty! Can't believe they served them. Barely any gravy just the gravy from the fat it seemed. The employees should've eaten them, FREE!!! Yams, seemed canned and just not good. Reb beans and rice were dry and old. Mac and cheese wasnt baked, but heard was ok. Chicken was fresh/hot, but lacked any seasoning! Smh... Baby with the attitudes their serving (read other reviews) you'd think they had something special going on in here! NOT They had a steady stream of customers, they're in a great location. I WOULD NOT RETURN

Needless to say, it was crowded and lively, but our table was waiting for us and we were sat immediately. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very helpful with our menu choices, which were limited due to their Madi Gras-only offerings, but also plentiful and varied. My husband decided on the jambalaya, I went with the crawfish étouffée, and we split the roasted Cajun cauliflower as an appetizer. While it's hard for this kind of stew-like, saucy, veggie/sausage/seafood over rice mixtures to present beautifully, everything looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. The jambalaya had a little more of a kick than I prefer, but my husband loved it and my crawfish étouffée had the perfect amount of spice without being spicy. The roasted cauliflower was cooked to perfection and was the perfect way to start the meal. Not pictured is the bananas foster bread pudding that was the perfect way to end it. We both left with extra food to take home and the memory of a wonderful meal and great experience.

Our server was great and the manager came by while we were eating to ask how things were and see if we needed anything. Only thing with server was I did ask 3 times for more water, would have been nice if he just saw and refilled. We started with the hush puppies and meatballs. The hush puppies came with a really interesting sauce. The cheese, flavor and texture were great. The chicken meatballs were good also had a nice sauce. I got the 4pc Pressure Fried Chicken sub collard greens for Mac n cheese to share. They nicely split the meal on two separate plates for us. The fried chicken was really good with a delicious crispy breading. The biscuit and Mac n cheese were alright. The Mac n cheese was nothing special at all. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, potato skins mixed in. Enjoyed the food and variety of options!

You go down a cafeteria serving line telling the servers in the other side if the glass what you want. The waiting line was short in length (maybe 5 people) but moved very slowly. In fact it didn't move at all for about 10 minutes. Not sure why. Finally, I was able to ask for a meat and three for $14.49. I chose baked chicken, mac n cheese, green beans and black eye peas. The meal came with a cornbread muffin. Their soft drinks here are canned and with one and tax my bill was $17 and change. The prices here are reasonable.

Came on a Monday night with a friend. Food: Really like the menu. Lots of diversity to choose from, and the prices are reasonable. We started with a couple of specialty cocktails. I had the Sazerac, and my friend had the OG Old Fashioned. Both were well made, and there was plenty of alcohol in each. For an appetizer, we got the Frogs on the Mound, which, as you can imagine, is 1/2 lb of frog legs on haystack onion rings. I haven't had frog legs in a while, and I thought these were very good. The breading was light, well seasoned, and not overcooked. The haystack onion rings were just okay. They could have been hotter and maybe seasoned (or just salted) a bit more. For our entrees, I got the Blackened Catfish, and he got the Grouper Tacos. Both of these meals were also very good. The blackened fish was the best part of my meal. It was excellently seasoned, cooked to the right temperature, and moist and flaky. Delicious! The collard greens were good, but would have been better with just a bit more pork. More pork is always better. The rice and beans were good too, but the temperature was less than hot. My friend enjoyed his Grouper Tacos, and the bite he shared with me was very good, except for the green peppers. I much prefer orange or yellow peppers, but I realize that's a personal taste issue. The tacos tasted fresh, the fish was tender, and the portions were good. Service: The place was about a quarter full. Even though we weren't in a hurry, the service got off to a bit of a slow start. After getting waters and menus, it took a while for our server to get back to us. I started to worry that this might be an issue for the rest of the evening, so I made a point of getting their attention. After that, things went smoothly. After ordering appetizers and entrees, the food came out in a timely fashion. All the staff we interacted with were helpful and friendly. Thanks, Sarah 1 and Sarah 2 :) Atmosphere: Besides the separate bar area, the dining room is a big open space with lots of four-top tables spread around. Around the walls there are posters, art pieces, and plenty of Mardi Gras beads. I wasn't sure at the time, but there was something a bit cramped about the interior. After looking at the pictures, I think it might have to do with the low, tiled ceiling. (I think this is the first time I have ever mentioned something about a tiled ceiling.) On this night, it was quiet and easy to have a comfortable conversation. Glad that we finally stopped in for a meal. With the exception of the initial service delay and some small issues with a couple of food items, it was a very good meal. Would definitely want to stop back again to try other parts of the menu.
