    The brisket on the nachos was mostly fat. That really took away from my enjoyment of this $17 dish.

    This was our second trip to Doc’s and this time we invited my sisters and their wives to have brunch before a University of Louisville basketball game. The atmosphere is such a positive experience and we sat in the very back had reservation for 6 and got seated immediately! Our server, Trevin C. was delightful, he even took a selfie for us!! He was quick, attentive and respectful all the qualities you are looking for with 6 guests.my sisters live in Louisville and they were super impressed you will see them often now! My birthday was on Saturday and this was our celebration with Family! Thank you for such a great meal!!!!

    Friendly service! The heat was turned up super high in the back room which was uncomfortable. Food was yummy and good desserts.

    Food and server was great but we were seated in main room with a large group next to us. It was so loud once the large group arrived it ruined the whole experience. Very disappointed because there were plenty tables we could have been at if they knew they had a large group arriving. Doubt we will return unless we sit in bar area. Total bummer.

    Server was personable and patient. Shrimp and grits were best I have eaten. Drinks were generous. Oysters were beautiful. Brisket was a bit fatty, one entire slice was just fat. Good flavor, will order the leaner version next time
