Not what it used to be. It use to be, really good BBQ. My recent visit ordering a Two Meat Plate…read morewith Two Sides was a total disappointment. It was so disappointing, that I didn't even eat it all. I threw half of it away and I rarely waste food. My Two Plate was a Pork Steak and Brisket, with Smokehouse Beans and Spicy Cheese Corn. The Pork Steak was good, but the Brisket was dried and tough. The Smokehouse Beans have disappointed me before, but I wanted to give them another chance. Again, they were to runny and had not enough seasoning to give them pizzaz. Their Spicy Cheese Corn was just okay, it was cheesy, but did no live up to the "Spicy" name. What was most disappointing was the customer service. The young lady taking my order was friendly and professional, so she gets a thumbs up. The disappointment came when I was presented my order at the counter. As I waited for my for to be prepared I took a stool at the counter, just down from the register. When it was ready, the owner brought it out and dropped the bag in front of me and turned to walk away. No thank-you, no nothing. I had to speak first, to get response and it was just faint grunt. It is a sad day when a business owner cannot thank a customer for supporting his business.

I tried the brisket which was tender, the Mac n cheese was creamy and black peppery, and the hash…read morebrown casserole; all were delish. My parents tried the pulled pork and said it was tender as well. The dinner portion of brisket was on the smaller side but it had great flavor & practically fell apart. The only things I didn't care for is the pickles (if you like sweet pickles you'll like these) & that sweet bbq is the only option for sauce, I love a spicy bbq, and honestly Phat head bbq sauce from the guy in holiday shores would compliment this bbq so well. But despite that I'd absolutely get dinner from here again.

I could literally stick my fork in and pull a bite off of the 1 1/4" thick steak. They're only available, while they last and they do go fast. I've also enjoyed their, Two Meat Combo. My choices of meat were, Brisket and Burnt Ends. OMG! Best burnt ends I have ever had and I order them a lot when they're available at any BBQ joint. The Brisket is impressive, too. As a side, I always go with Baked Beans. Especially if they are made in house. My other favorite is Mac-n-Cheese. Both of these are done well here at Doc's. The staff here is extremely friendly and they make ordering at the counter easy.

I ordered catfish, and they brought me tilapia like I wouldn't notice the difference. Completely unacceptable. They were out of every basic drink no sodas at all and handed us water in cheap red plastic cups. On top of that, the building was freezing, like they didn't care if customers were comfortable. The service was horrible. Our server had an attitude, moved slow, and acted like serving us was a problem. The entire place felt unprofessional, unorganized, and not ready to serve anybody. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money. Lovett's Soul Food is an embarrassment at this point. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Typically I am not a white bread person, but the two slices that came with my meal were soft and fresh. I was able to make a small sandwich with leftovers from the large steak, for lunch the next day. It's a small operation, you place your order at one window and when your number is called, you pick it up at the next one. Everything is, "outside" hence the name of the business. I always get mine to-go, but there's plenty of outside seating available. If you dine on their patio, they've go great music playing. The kind you'd play at your very own backyard party. The service is exactly what you'd expect from a local mom & pop type business. It is personable and just downright friendly. It's also a black owned business. So get out and support a minority and locally owned business.

Let me start off saying, you cannot go wrong buying your meats from their butcher case. If you're…read moregrilling, or entertaining, this is where you want to buy your meats. You'll be thrilled with a Ribeye, Brat or a pound of Ground Beef. Their chicken will even win you over and you'll be talk of the town. Everyone will be talking about your meat. Now, I want to tell you about their hot prepared foods counter. If you are lazy and don't want to cook, come and select from the variety of meats and side dishes. I've enjoyed; Pork Steak, Chicken Breast, Meat Loaf, Ribs and Hamburger. My sides have been, Mac-n-Cheese, Greet Beans, Scalloped Potatoes and Baked Beans. None have been disappointing, except for the cheese on the burger. I was just a cold slice of American Cheese placed on top. I did a little zap in the microwave to get it to melt a little when I got it home. The service is friendly and attentive. The reason they lose a star from me is one employee, is not so friendly. She's middle-aged and has the personality of a wet rag. I cringe when she is the one assisting me at the counter. When assisted by other employees it is an entire different experience. I will return and hope that I do not get the negative lady and hopefully be able to raise them back up to 5 Stars.
