Great BBQ spot with good drinks and large portions. Share the heap'n chips with your BFF Jill, grab some brisket tacos, perhaps enjoy some ribs or a fried oyster po boy. The Docta will see you now.

One of the best places we went in Louisville. The food is incredible, the drinks are well crafted and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable! Bartenders know their craft!!

This Kentucky Girl loved the Wilbur Sundae!! The perfect mix of great vanilla ice cream, bourbon caramel, salty, smokey bacon and cinnamon pork rinds. All topped with a bourbon soaked cherry. Tuners

Had the 20oz house beer, loaded baked potato, and the bread pudding. Needless to say, I AM STUFFED AND HAPPY. p.s. the bartenders here - so sweet, so hot.

Doc's Fried Chicken & Fries was so good. Be sure to get the bourbon honey with it, sooo yummy. My husband enjoyed the BBQ sampler with the Baby Back Ribs and Mac & cheese to die for.

Best BBQ in town. Don't sweat the guy with the squirrelly hat taking names up front. He's been a douche to me or my friends on a number of occasions. Putting up with his attitude is worth the food.

Pulled pork, Mac, and greens were all ridiculous. We bought our 8 month old, but the staff was very accommodating. Place is HUGE. Delicious BBQ.
Glenn BeckmannJanuary 17, 2015
Oysters were outstanding. Lots of varieties to chose from. Smoked wings are amazing. And I can't recommend the Lima beans enuf! Yes!! Lima beans.
Serhii LutskoAugust 17, 2017
Their ribs and cocktails are something. Oysters were not bad as well. Worth to visit

Catfish on Catfish platter was good. Food is very hot. Fried okra was delicious. Portion sizes for the "sides" are huge. Hushpuppies are very salty. Decent prices. Waitress was a little slow.

Loved the ribs and beer menu! Green beans were a great side dish.

In NYC, this place would thrive in the meat packing district. Need a reservation for a table, but if you can find a spot at the bar, do it!
Norman EllisAugust 23, 2014
Great place to dine alone. Sit at the bar, eat yourself silly, chat with the friendly bartenders or the other folks near you and have a great time.

Blackened fish, pulled pork, cheese grits, and greens all 7-8/10, great location, friendly staff.

My shrimp and grits were delicious! Great service as well.

One of the newest stops on the Urban Bourbon Trail, be sure and grab your passport from the server and ask for one of their specialty bourbon flights.
Mimi NguyenMarch 28, 2016
Great selection of local beers and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend the shrimp and grits!

"This New Orleans-flavored joint boasts oysters in multiple preparations and a delicious selection of po' boys. The bread, you should know, is flown in from New Orleans."

Shrimp and oyster po boy was delicious. The service was awesome!!

This King George English brown ale is quite tasty 😋 I’m looking forward to my fried catfish 👍🏽

Pecan Pie. Don't leave until you have it. Force yourself to eat it. It is ridiculously good.
Allen VoglianoFebruary 23, 2017
The Bubba burger was delicious! And the drink menu looked like a small novel.
Dusty SegrettoJuly 12, 2012
On the other hand, the Lima beans are literally the best I've ever had. Get them even if you don't like Lima beans.
Jazzie ChanelDecember 24, 2017
Pretty place but would pass on the food. Good sized side portions but meat on the sampler platter was skimpy. Good drink selection but not impressed w anything else. Lima beans and okra are good!
ParkerJune 13, 2012
Great home style smokehouse food with an upbeat speakeasy feel. Top shelf burger is the best around.

Definitely worth the visit. Great food, service and ambiance.

Some of the best barbecue around. Oysters were really good too

Order the heapin' chips for an appetizer, then subsitute sweet potato fries for the chips for your sandwich! Thank me later.
Jerry LucasJuly 24, 2015
Bourbon, barbecue, and service. Manager was jerky, however. Guess they can be.
Sebastian BarthelmessSeptember 1, 2015
Oh almost forgot, service was top notch here... even late. Posting this after closing and place is still hopping.

We smoke our own meat back home, but man the pulled pork here is AMAZING!
Kyle NicholsAugust 7, 2014
Love the Mac and cheese. Barbecue is pretty good too.
Megan BlissJanuary 23, 2012
Heapin chips are delicious!!!! They are an appetizer but I always eat them as my meal right after I devour a wedge salad
Bobby KennedyApril 7, 2016
Incredible selection of bourbon to choose from.
Amy WMarch 25, 2011
The Wedge Salad is great for starters! Crisp iceberg with tomato, bleu cheese crumbles, red onion, house smoked bacon and bleu cheese dressing $5
Rich DeLucia Jr.September 14, 2014
If you want a table it's best to make a reservation. Food was fantastic.
Leah BeattyApril 10, 2014

Colin LeeSeptember 22, 2019
Very popular restaurant. But line moves quickly
