    I was in town for the Arizona Cowboy Poets Gathering and came downtown to this great bbq place for dinner. I had the Pig Nose Kate (a take on Doc Holliday's girlfriend, Big Nose Kate). It was great, and so much food. Super friendly and helpful bartender, Rye (perfect name for a bartender). In addition to great food, as the name implies of they have a huge selection of both common and special hard yo find whiskies. And super dog friendly on their patio. Patio also has a mister from the ceiling to keep you and your canine companion on those hot Arizona evenings.

    Dino rib plate special
    George G.

    My wife and I spent the day in Prescott to escape the Phoenix heat. We decided to have barbecue and selected Doc's primarily due to the ambience and spaciousness compared with another BBQ place that was even rated higher. We secured a table quickly and the hostess and waitress were friendly. I ordered a glass of wine but they were out of it and requested my second choice which was very nice. We decided to share the special Dino Rib plate and it was delicious and plentiful. They only prepare this dish on Friday and Saturday so we were fortunate to be here on a Saturday! The two sides we selected were the sweet potato fries and baked beans and both were tasty and generous in amount. The manager came to the table to check on us and was very engaged with customers which I believe is essential in a good restaurant. Overall, a good experience and would repeat when we return.

    We were in town for a short time for Grand Canyon and came here for dinner. Delicious BBQ and good cocktails! Service was friendly but a bit slower as they had a big crowd that evening. Over all a good meal and wouldn't mind coming back again.

    Texas twinkies I got the hit jalapeño

    Food was amazing and Steven was a great server with personality. We will be back whenever we visit Prescott again. Brisket was so tender!!

    1/2 chicken with corn tortillas and cowboy beans. $20
    Mike M.

    This is an attractive restaurant on Whiskey Row with a large inviting outdoor patio with misting sprayers along with a full bar and indoor seating. I ordered the 1/2 chicken platter for $20 that came with the bone in chicken, some tortillas and one side dish from which I chose the cowboy beans. The food arrived less than 15 minutes later. Of the 4 sauces on the table I liked Doc's Sauce the best. The chicken and beans were good tasting (3.5) and the price was reasonable. My gripe was that my waitress disappeared. No drink refills or checking in. Fortunately, a drink machine was nearby and I refilled my own. After asking other employees about where she was and with no response, I went up to the counter to pay and was told my waitress would take care of that. Finally she appeared at the table thinking I had skipped paying. I paid and left. The food was ok but the service poor. Also there were flies buzzing around inside.

    Decided to take a day trip out of the heat from phoenix to Prescott !! We stopped to try the docs BBQ and it was okay . Let me just say we were extremely hungry. I got the turkey sandwich and it was good but I had asked for no bacon it was easy to peel off none the less. It just fell apart bite after bite which just sucks. My friend got pulled pork sandwich and he said 3/5 the pork was a bit dry. We both got Fries and they were a bit bland I will say. Lastly got the buffalo chicken dip and it was good till it wasn't kinda ...they like put a sauce on top of cream cheese ...it was kinda odd . Again was very hungry so was good till it wasn't lol ... I will say they had a nice variety of ciders which is my absolute favorite!!! :)

    We hesitated, but so glad we changed our minds! The service was fantastic for such a busy place. We opted to sit indoors, but loved how they remodeled the great outdoors. They have an amazing bar and beautiful wine barrel tables on the patio and though the misters were on, we sat inside. Next time it will be outside, because the restaurant was a bit warm where we were sitting. Anyway, food was very good. My husband ordered the pulled-pork sandwich and it comes with coleslaw (in the sandwich) and one side. He got the Mac-n-cheese, which he said was very good, but honestly? It's not something I'd ever order, because it looked like a bowl of soup. Just why? The sandwich though, was huge and packed with a lot of meat. My husband loved it! Our friends (and the reason we were in the beautiful and historic downtown) order the Six Shooter and shared it. They really enjoyed the BBQ (brisket, ribs, turkey, and a sausage) and I think we all loved the coleslaw! They did order the ranch-style beans, but unfortunately they were out (Tuesday early afternoon???) and ended up with sweet beans, which they did not love. They definitely had a whole lot of cumin going on, because I could smell it across the table! As for me, I got the Double Barrel Shotgun and it came with brisket, St Louis style ribs and a side. Thank God I got the coleslaw! The ribs were delicious and I like the fact that they have a variety of BBQ sauces on the table. I had the spicy habanero and it was perfect! The brisket was tasty, but I enjoyed the ribs so much more. Like I said, it was our first time trying out this fairly new establishment (it took the place of the iconic--now infamous Colt Grill) and we most certainly will be going back. If weather permits, I'd recommend sitting on the patio and enjoying the view of the courthouse square/people-watching. I wish I had pictures of our food, but I think we were so hungry and I forgot! Next time!

    Gold Fever Cocktail

    We went to Doc's BBQ & Whiskey on a weeknight while visiting Prescott. They were able to accommodate our large party of 13 with a big table on the patio. I ordered a plate with ribs and brisket. The ribs were alright while the brisket was good. The beans were really good. Another member of our party tried the potato salad and loved it. My husband ordered the brisket burger and in hindsight he would have asked for lettuce, tomato, and onion as it only comes with a patty, cheese, and a couple slices of brisket. We tried the Texas Twinkiez and they were alright, we found them to be pretty oily. I tried the Gold Fever cocktail and it was booze forward and very good. Overall our dinner was good and the service was great.

    BBQ Nachos with Brisket
    Jenna F.

    I stumbled upon Doc's during a day trip up to the Prescott area and immediately was interested by the aesthetic of the building, which is both sleek and vintage at the same time. It was a weekday in the afternoon during a bout of cold weather so there weren't too many other guests at the time. The service was incredible, with our server being incredibly attentive and friendly for the duration of our meal. However, it was the food that absolutely stole the show! I tried the BBQ Nachos with Smoked Brisket and they were absolutely incredible. The plate was huge and I barely even finished half of it due to how much there was, so the price was well worth it. The brisket was absolutely perfect and the flavors all went together so well. I would consider planning another day trip to the area just to try these again so make sure you stop by!

    Pup Friendly Outdoor Patio Area - Lots of Shade for the Pups. They bring out water bowls for your Fur-Babies
    Diserie V.

    This was our first visit here and we were definitely impressed. Most important thing we looked for was a PUP-FRIENDLY place to eat, and stumbled upon this spot. We were seated right away, which was really sweet. They have a nice sized outdoor patio area with tons of shade. They also bring out water bowls for your fur babies. Our server "The Duke of Earl" (Earl) was Awesome! Really cool dude. He had great recommendations on drinks and food, and the choices did not disappoint. We had a brisket burger, the jalapeño cream cheeseburger, two sides of mac & cheese, Texas toast, and an order of Texas Twinkies. We also ordered an unseasoned Pup Patty for our baby girl Sage She's approved of her food too! Thank you 's BBQ & Whiskey for the delicious food and great Customer Service! We're definitely going to be making this our go to place when we come up and visit Prescott!

    Brisket, ribs, soda, coleslaw, fries, Texas toast

    Came here for a late lunch. It was our first time to eat here. The waitress was extremely helpful with choosing from the menu. The brisket and the barbecued ribs were exceptional. The food was well priced, highly recommend! Make sure you check out the owners Cadillac Eldorado out in front!

I got the Breakfast Tacos and my wife got the Salazar skillet. We both really enjoyed our meals. For my tacos, I had one green chile brisket, one chorizo, and one carne adovada. They were all excellent, but I'd highly recommend the carne adovada. My wife really enjoyed her skillet. We both agreed that next time, we would each probably pick different items, but only because there were so many things on the menu that sounded really good! We went closer to lunchtime on a weekday and there was no wait, but I could see there definitely being a wait at breakfast time on the weekend, as the interior is small and has only about six tables. But it would be well worth the wait. We will definitely be back.

The homemade mixed berry jam is delicious. But that's sort of where the good stuff ends. The coffee has no taste, the sausage is a weird squished down link, and the pancakes lacked fluff. Our waitress was nice but kept forgetting things- never got water, got syrup instead of jam, didn't know the answers the questions. She seemed constantly rushed. Inside is cute, some cute little coffee art on the walls. All in all, it's not somewhere I would frequent again.

It's wonderful to know that when you go to a restaurant, the staff will be aware and considerate of your special need. Love the menu! So diverse, so interesting in its offerings compared to the usual restaurants in Prescott Valley. Definitely a step above the rest! The new location in Prescott Valley is fantastic! Welcoming, tastefully decorated and wonderful ambience. The only thing I would say that could be improved upon, is that the large plates sometimes leave something to be desired with the presentation. I got the three tacos served on a metal stand and the rest of the plate was just EMPTY looking. Looked like it was missing something. A little garnish or even a little bit of pico de gallo, some cabbage and chopped tomato... anything would have made the meal more attractive in its presentation. Same thing with my husband's sandwich. A large white plate with lots of empty space. Small sandwich, & small portion of french fries. Food was very good, but it's kind of a mixed message when you have a plate so large that it makes the food appear as if you're getting small portions. Just something to consider for the owner perhaps. The manager was delightful and came out to ask about my gluten-free needs and educated me about the conditions in the kitchen and so forth. Great job!
