The food here is so good.The pork steak is huge and is super tender. The brisket was equally good. For sides we had corn casserole, cucumber salad and Mac and cheese. All were very good. Due to covid we had to eat on the patio,...but it was a beautiful day, so no problem.I recommend Docs Smokehouse for a great bbq meal.More

Nice atmosphere and just off the beaten path nested in an up coming area of Edwardsville illinois.. Servers are polite and greet you with a smile.. To my surprise the restaurant is a full service serving restaurant. The average pricing per adult with a beverage...will range between 12 to 15 dollars. It appears they have kids menus with lower cost to draw in family... As I look around watching other dining guest I see a few smiles, some faces with BBQ sauce and a few people people licking their fingers... I chose the brisket platter w green beans and baked beans.. Looks to be 4 different sauces.. After sampling they are all flavored fairly decently. The green beans are pleasing to the taste and the baked beans are full of flavor. I’ll be back.. 👍👍👍More

We selected this restaurant based on reviews and it did NOT disappoint. We will go out of our way in the future to get to Doc's as his brisket was among the best ever...and I'm a brisket snob!

My go to for BBQ unless I'm in the St. Peters, MO area for Big Woody's on Zumbehl. Doc's has an amazing 2 inch porksteak that is so tender you don't have to use a knife. My favorite item it's the Big Boar sandwich served...on brioche. It has pulled pork, thick sliced hickory smoked bacon & two pieces of smoked sausage...I want one right now!! I love that they have four sauces to choose from on the table...I love the spicy one. They have great sides, especially the sweet potato fries, mac n cheese, & corn casserole. My kids love the nachos which you can get in pulled pork or chicken or half & half...YES!!! The prices here are more reasonable than Sugarfire & the customer service is always excellent.More

Outstanding BBQ. Tried the pork steak, wings and corn casserole. Generous portions. Waiters were nice and cups did not get empty. Nachos are really good as well.

Doc's has moved to the new development across 157 from SIUE. Essentially across the street and down two blocks from their old location. The new location has a much better traffic flow. The order line is now separate instead of winding among the tables. There...is a separate station for take out order pick ups. The good news is the same great food. On a recent visit, I finally hit taco Tuesday. Two huge soft tacos stuffed with pulled pork, cheese, etc, I should have followed the lead of some other diners and had the second on wrapped up to go, there was that much goodness. The side of queso was a bit weak, could of used a bit of a kick. My normal go to is the pick two with brisket and sausage with sides of BBQ beans and potato salad. All consistently good. The problem with a true smokehouse is that once they run out of something, there is no quick fix. On my most recent visit they had run out of brisket. The cost of keeping it fresh. They post updates on their Facebook page when that happens. There is now quite a bit of room between the tables. Doc says he can add more seats when the need arises.More

All of the food was amazing. The staff was attentive and friendly. We are so glad we decided to go there!
