Got the Crab cakes...ok I could hardly eat them. The crab meat was the lowest quality of crab. Looked like canned crab meat. They were flat about a 1/4 inch. Over fried. So very sad for $34 dollars. Green fried tomatoes. Just a stack of tomatoes without sauce. (Ever pic shows a sauce served with them) my husband had red fish...it was just ok. Now the dessert didn't get what was described on menu. It was good sadly the desert was the best part of the meal. The service was a 4. The place needs a full make over w a better menu & chef. I would not recommend. Unfortunately I will never visit again. It is very low quality cooking.

Aside from that and being seated twice. It was awesome seeing Laura in a manager position. As I said in a previous review that FEEL GOOD SHOT is LIFE! I ordered a flight of just that plus two! Well worth it! Although my waitress tried to update me a mocktail in a mug, and honestly when I saw it, straight NO. Ordered the Crispy Brussel sprouts, first batch came out burnt (from sight to smell you could tell). Immediately sent them back without touching them and got a fresh batch expedited by Laura. Proceeded to order the Lunch Break honey pecan chicken salad and tomato soup for my mother she loved everything but the shredded Romain lettuce chunks. I ordered the Salmon with green beans and breakfast potatoes. Unfortunately the green beans were swimming in a greasy liquid, so substituted more Brussel sprouts. The sweet potato pancakes were delicious and crispy edged. Last who ever made that salmon is top tier, crispy seared outside, yet flaky moist inside! Third time a charm!

BBQ Buffet!? Doc's…read moreBBQ is a must stop for anyone that's into BBQ with a big appetite. The setup here is buffet style all you can eat BBQ and side. YES! All you can eat. What an amazing concept. I can say that the food quality is pretty awesome especially considering the buffet style restaurant. I've been twice now and both times the food was awesome and they don't pull back on anything here. The only issue is they do have some weird hours but for what you get and how they do things it's totally worth a trip during lunch. I highly recommend hitting this spot if you're a fan of BBQ and have ever felt like you didn't here get enough of your favorite BBQ dishes.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 9 Overall: 7 I first came to Doc's back in summer of 2023 because I wanted to pig out on southern comfort food. Well, at $14.50 back then for the buffet, I thought I was in heaven. A huge array of choices that will induce the heart attack I was looking for. Price has obviously gone up a tick, but it's still a great deal imho. Since the restaurant was super busy, everything felt extremely fresh. As for mains, I guess I enjoyed the fried chicken a lot since I keep refilling ny plate with it. I also tried a little bit of everything else, including the bbq pulled pork, fried catfish nuggets, and meatloaf (Tuesday special). They were all good. As for sides, there were plenty to choose from. All the southern staples are here, like mac & cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, potato salad, hush puppies, etc. Don't forget to get some desserts too. I like their peach cobbler. A place like this can only survive in the south. I wish we had something remotely resembling Doc's back in NYC, but it'll never work. I'll just have to visit the south more often for gems like these.

The fish was fried to perfection as well as the pork chops. The Mac and cheese was baked spot on as well. Everything I tried was delicious and if I travel back up this way, I will stop on by again.
