    Our food was good. Waitress was prompt in refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything else.

    Our server was VERY rude and clearly didn’t want to be working. Other servers around our table were very attentive to their guests. The food was just ok. The brisket was very fatty and disappointing. The Mac and cheese side was delicious. Cornbread was dry.

    Service was HORRIBLE. We sat at 10:00AM on Sunday morning. We were a party of 8. Only two other tables, a party of two and a party of three. We waited almost 1.5 hr to be served our food. Only 5 meals were served. The other 3 never made it to our table. Of the 5 meals served, 3 were wrong. The manager finally got the remaining 3 orders out, 2 of which were wrong but we accepted them because we didn’t want to wait any longer. Most of what we received tasted good. Some was cold. Manager comped the entire meal but man what a disappointing last meal on our way out of town.

    Just a fun vibrant place to go in downtown. We went before a concert. Within walking distance of YUM Center and many other venues.

    This was my first time at Doc Crow's. My friend and I came down from Indianapolis for a concert at the Yum Center. This restaurant is literally across the street from the venue, so it was super convenient. Everything we ate was delicious. We got the deviled egg appetizer and some oysters to start. Both very good. For my entree I got the Doc's Chicken. I was going back and forth on whether I wanted it original roasted or fried. I asked the server, and he said the fried is his favorite. Great recommendation. You always worry the chicken may be dried out. This chicken was so juicy. I loved it!! I got green beans as my side. They were very good. We had a great experience. I would love to come back the next time we are in town.

    The reason I rated so low is because I booked a reservation at Doc Crows for 10:30. I was diverted to the spot next door for a breakfast menu. I did not book this location. I was not informed or notified that we would not be seated in Doc Crows. I find this to be a bait and switch. We went to Doc Crows at 11 and sat at the bar. The service was great and wings were great. I just don’t like the fact no one communicated that we would not be in the restaurant I booked.
