“ Our group of around 30 people showed up, unannounced on a Sunday afternoon. The manager and staff welcomed us with open arms, made us feel at home, and took great care of us! Food and drinks were all delicious! We will DEFINITELY be back! Highly recommend Doc's!! #WestfieldIceRocks ”
“ We have enjoyed dining here many times before and yesterday we tried the order pick up. It was just as good! Definitely the best BBQ in NWI. The brisket is a cut above. The people are very nice too. Can't wait to try catering next. ”
“ A friend and I split a Judge's Table of meats and I had a Mac & Cheese side. The 16oz side was filling and the meats (especially the wings) are within my top 5 tastiest dishes I've had in my life. The extensive variety for alcoholic drinks was another pleasant surprise. That they have their own parking lot is a big win in my book. ”
“ Food is good. Brisket and chicken wings tasted great, moist and smokey. They have half off wings (not sure which day). Baked beans were also delicious. The Mac and cheese could use a tad more seasoning. They have plenty of different bbq sauces to try at the table. I would recommend, def a hidden gem. ”
“ The special Mardi Gras menu was awesome tonight. Started with a hurricane to drink followed by the chicken and sausage gumbo, shimp and grits, brisket poor boy, duck and shrimp jambalaya and finished the dinner off with beignets. Kuddos to your team for a wonderful dining experience. ”
“ Make sure to come here on a Wednesday when they make there specialty "Pig Wigs". That's the crazy name they gave to there amazing ribs that they put a dry rub on fry. The inside is super tender and juicy while the outside is nice a crispy. There pickles are really good too. There a little spicy but not too hot. They also have 64 beers on tap including a vodka on tap and root beer on tap (non alcoholic). Come by when it's warm out and they also have a covered picnic area for outdoor dining. ”
“ I’ve had some pretty miserable brisket (dry and tough) the last couple of places I’ve been to....so it was a pleasure to come here and get perfectly moist and fatty brisket! Offered the choice of fatty or lean brisket, not many places do this. Service was great! Extensive beer selection! Just what the doctor ordered. ”
“ All I want to say is....BACARDI BAKED BEANS!!! The best baked beans I've ever had in my life!!!! I also had the Texas Fries with extra cheese (they put on the side) - AMAZING and very filling! The meat is cooked to perfection. The wings were great....the rub they put on is different but so good. I love the atmosphere (bar with TV's at every angle) and the wait staff were very nice. Our server was Edward and he made my family and I feel very welcome. If you are a BBQ lover, try this place. You won't be disappointed. ”
