Worst bbq experience ever. St Louis ribs were dry and chewy. Lots of fat on brisket. Onion rings were hard.... Extra charge too without knowing. Texas toast is better at Cane's. Baked beans no taste, better at Famous Dave's !
We really wanted to like this place because it was a new restaurant and atmosphere seemed cool. However, we literally left feeling upset because we were full, but not satisfied with food experience. Beer menu had no prices either.
We loved the service (Sephina was GREAT -- very attentive, very personable) and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Oh, and the BBQ was good, too! :) My wife and I shared the Pig Nose Kate plate and the Smoked Brisket plate (both "lean" and "fatty" cuts).
Although I'm not a big fan of Brisket (aside from Brisket burnt ends which Doc's doesn't serve -- theirs are pork), I thought the Brisket was nicely prepared. It's just not my "thing". On the other hand, my wife thoroughly enjoyed the Brisket -- she found it tender and flavorful and enjoyed both the "lean" and "fatty" cuts (leaning a bit towards the lean over the fatty)...
I enjoyed the the house BBQ sauce, the pulled pork (though that may have been influenced by the sauce) and really liked the pork belly burnt ends. The ribs were not quite as tender as I like them, but still really good. My wife wasn't a big fan of the ribs (said they were a bit dry), the pulled pork (just ok), or the burnt ends, but then again she was really there to try the Brisket.
And we both strongly recommend the Smoked Mac-n-Cheese as a side or appetizer -- very nice. The TexAZ Toast and Cornbread were both excellent, too.
Definitely returning -- a very nice find!

My family and I ate here and ordered a pretty good variety — ribs, brisket, wings, a brisket burger, and the Texas Twinkies.
I’ll start by saying the food seemed to be made with quality ingredients, and our server was very nice. No complaints at all about the customer service.
Unfortunately, the food itself was really disappointing. Almost everything was seriously lacking flavor. The brisket was completely dry and tasted like it had little to no seasoning. The ribs actually had a good texture, but again, absolutely no flavor. It honestly had us wondering, do you guys season your food?
The wings were probably the biggest disappointment. You could tell they were quality wings, but they were chewy and basically flavorless.
The bright spots were the Texas Twinkies, which were easily the highlight of the meal, and the brisket burger, which was good and juicy.
For what everything cost, it was especially disappointing because we ended up barely eating a lot of the food. When you’re paying BBQ restaurant prices, you expect bold, smoky, seasoned flavors, and that just wasn’t what we experienced.
Overall, quality ingredients and friendly service, but the lack of flavor made this a very disappointing meal for our family. I basically spent $140 for a burger and an appetizer.

I would like everyone to know Damion of Doc's really came through for the Prescott Vette Sette "Corvette Club" during our Car Show Dinner for 165 participants. Their entire staff did a fantastic job in making sure everyone was taken care of. Food was fantastic! A Special thanks to our server "David" and the bar service Ci Ci. Hats off to the both of them and all the others who worked really hard for everyone during our dinner. "5" Stars all the way.. /Rich

I went to doc's barbecue the other night, I believe it was Friday. I sat outside at the patio bar that they have, and I had the best service I have ever had. The bartender was the most beautiful blonde young lady that I have ever seen, I believe her name was Abbie. She made the best old fashion I have ever drank in my life. Her service was amazing, especially for how busy it was. The bartenders inside were also very friendly and attractive, Randi and Lilly were running the bar inside. Abbie was flaring bottles and serving food at the same time. I will definitely be coming here more often.
