I was shocked at how bad the food was. I had been there 4 years ago and it was just good…read more I had a blackberry mint drink. No mint & 1 blackberry smashed up on the bottom. It was very bad. 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.

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.

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.

This was so good and juicy. It had just the right amount of sauce, not too heavy or too light. It was perfect:) The broccoli was nice and fresh. Omg, the hush puppies were amazing! My husband ordered the Chili the Kid Tacos. The meat he chose was chicken. He stated it had a little spice with a sweet aftertaste. This he loved! The chicken was tender and full of guacamole, pickled onions and salsa. He also ordered Spanish rice and beans to make his meal complete. Everything was prepared well. Customer service was great. The ambiance was well lit, and the restaurant was clean. We enjoyed everything to the last drop!

They have limited hours weekly - they are open 9 hours a week. Plan to arrive early in the day because they prepare a daily menu and once they're out of that item, that's it.

Also, in terms of value for the food, it was expensive for the portions you get. I paid around $50 for the meal in the photo attached. When we are surrounded by BBQ places that just do it better at a significantly lower price I can't recommend this place. Though I would highlight that the workers were amazing and incredibly helpful. The place itself felt very home-like (cozy) which was nice. A little small though for how busy it gets.

Absolutely delicious, fresh and cooked to order. Totally worth breaking my diet..,not to mention their signature Ole Southern Secret Sweet & Spicy Sauce that is yummy and can be used as a dipping sauce, a glaze and a marinade. We'll definitely be back!

The staff was pleasant and polite from the cashier.All the way to the cooks. I even had the pleasure of meeting the owner. She made me feel like I was home with family.

Everything about this place is just beautiful. I can't wait to revisit this spot. So if you're ever in columbus, south carolina and you're looking for some good soul seafood. Please check this place out.

My husband decided we should test it out today, so we ended up grabbing the food as we had a couple plans for today. My husband ordered the Reuben Sandwich. It came with Truffle Parmesan Fries. He stated the taste was very flavorful, the meat was tender, and he fell in love with the truffle fries. They didn't stand a chance! Now here comes the funny part:) I told him I wanted the Black Bean Burger without the lettuce and tomato, but instead he ordered me just the patty with cheese and mayo with no buns! Instead of him asking the correct way, he asked for it as just the patty only, haha I was too tickled to be mad. Even though he missed it, it was so good! That was the best black bean patty I had in a long time. It was well-prepared and delicious. Yes, I also have the Truffle Parmesan Fries and they tasted amazing. Hot, seasoned to perfection and irresistible! Once I saw the salmon, I had to try it. Omg, that salmon was prepared perfectly, juicy and mouth-watering. The food was on point I must say. Hubby stated customer service was amazing as well. The restaurant was well lit, had a great atmosphere and overall a great spot to dine with your friends. We will definitely be heading back soon to dine in and try more food:)
