    Docs special (we think that's what it was called) - sliced brisket with provolone and sautéed onions.
    Rebecca B.

    Been here a few times and the food is always delicious! Yesterday hubs and I took one of our kids and her boyfriend and it did not disappoint! Hubs and one of kids got the sandwich (Doc's Special maybe) that had sliced brisket, provolone and sautéed onions with a side. Brisket was perfectly cooked and they both enjoyed. Other kid got the half nachos with pulled pork and really liked it. I got the Smokehouse burger which was topped with cheese, pulled pork and onion rings. So good! And they have seasoned fries which are my favorite! And we got the add on of 5 smoked wings. Impulse purchase we didn't need but so good! Service was good, and the atmosphere is as expected. Define recommend but next time we might think about splitting a meal - portions are definitely generous!

    The food here was really good--tender, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they know what they're doing when it comes to barbecue. I'd definitely come back for the brisket alone. That said, we were a little surprised by the wait. It took about 20-30 minutes to get our food after ordering at the counter, which felt long for this kind of setup. It wasn't a huge deal, but worth noting if you're coming in hungry or on a tight schedule. Also, the drinks aren't self service, so you have to flag someone down to get a refill or ask for water. Overall, great food and worth the visit--just be ready for a bit of a wait.

    Pork steak, Mac & Mac and Cheese, and corn casserole.

    We're from S. AL and we eat at Doc's when we're in town. Pork steak is a must try, but everything we've eaten has been delicious. Staff is very kind and service is fast. Seating is always nice and clean.

    Pork steak sandwich

    My husband and I both ordered the pork steak. It was so tender and delicious! We also shared a bread pudding and were not disappointed.

    Combo plate with burned ends, pulled pork, baked beans, sweet potato fries, cucumber salad.

    Any gluten free options?

    All meats are gluten free except beef. Our beef rub has worsteshire powder in it. But it’s very minimal

    Do they serve adult beverages?

    Hmm. we used their catering. Their menu says no alcohol, but I feel like I stood at a bar to get my order. Maybe someone else can help.

As soon as we walked in, the smell was incredible and definitely made us excited to eat. The setup was easy--you order first, find a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Service was quick, and everyone was friendly and helpful. We ordered the platters, which came with one meat and two sides. The food had good flavor, and the cucumber salad was especially fresh and really excellent. The only downside was that the meat portions felt pretty small for the price, which was a little disappointing. Overall, it was a good stop to try once, but probably not a place we'd go out of our way to return to.

Even though I am thrilled to have one on the IL side of the river, it's a half hour drive to enjoy. The other day I was running errands and shopping in Edwardsville. I made it a point to do it around the lunch hour, so I could enjoy an calzone. I ordered at the counter as you do and lucky for me, the cashier was patient with me. As I ordered, I kept reading the menu and changed my mind two times and finally stayed with my third choice. Having a love of jalapeños, Pancho Villa was my final choice. Pancho Villa not only gave my fresh jalapeños, it was also filled with red peppers, smoked cheddar, Mozzarella and the meat was Chorizo prepared in Smoked Chili Oil. Yum-Yum and no heartburn. For dipping or spreading on top, I was given a cup of Queso. One nice thing about SOTS, is they offer adult beverages. They have an excellent selection of local craft beers and wines to pair with your calzone. I paired mine with, Pale Ale from Schlafly. The dining room is clean and crisp. It's done in an industrial style. They have regular tables and a few hightop tables, so you can choose which one is best for you. On the tables you'll find linen napkins with reusable flatware. If you can eat an entire calzone, I am impressed. For those of us who cannot, next to the soda machine is a stack of eco-friendly to-go boxes to put your leftovers in, to take home.

It's one of a very few places in the area that isn't a chain, isn't just burgers and pizza, and also isn't pretentious or overpriced. The service is always friendly and knowledgeable. We've been there at least ten times and only once was the service slow. It was an anomaly because they're usually really on top of things. Ambiance is a friendly, but upscaled downtown cafe/bar place that is perfect for taking out-of-towners or a fun brunch with the ladies. (They have a separate brunch menu on Saturdays!) I don't drink, so I can't comment on their drink selections. I'm taking away a star because the parking situation is annoying, especially during construction. There is street parking or a huge parking lot in the back. However, the back parking lot is a terrible hodgepodge of concrete and asphalt and a gazillion potholes and no super clear direction on how to get to the restaurant. Some signage would go a long way in helping customers to not only find parking, but once parked, to them navigate back to the little crevice where the back door is located. The back porch is located behind a larger portion of the structure and you can't see it from the parking lot. Additionally, if you have anyone in your party with mobility issues, it's next-to-impossible to park near enough to the door to make a difference. The handicapped parking spots are 40 yards away from the back door. All that said, we will def go back because there's nothing else like it in the area.
