Doc's Bar & Grill Abilene

Friday night was catfish nite and live music with Dave Christen. The catfish was perfectly fried crispy. The slaw had a nice fresh bite and a perfect balance of sweetness. Even the tartar sauce was a taste of goodness. Super friendly staff! The live music was great, and the stars were bright in the sky. It was good night. I love supporting family owned businesses and live music venues.

This is a good place with a nice atmosphere, but it has some things that need improvement prior to receiving 5 stars from myself. 1. While they do have a fairly ADA friendly setup, you can tell an actual disabled person was not consulted when designing the restroom. A. The support bar is non-standard, which does not allow for proper grippage and causes arms to fall through, causing a risk of shoulder dislocation for those who are not prepared for the gap. B. The toilet is not an ADA toilet and is difficult to get up from. C. The toilet paper is not placed conveniently for the disabled. D. The ADA stall does not have an emergency override for the door to allow easier access to those who become trapped within the stall. It is, however, a great size. I am confident that most assistive devices and a caretaker could fit with the patron comfortably. It does have a very stable floor. Unless it's wet, I don't think tripping would be an issue. The lighting is great. And it smells nice. The rest of the bathroom is nice. The sink could definitely use a calibration on its faucets because, as is, Jedis can't even get it to work. As for the staff - They are nice, but I didn't enjoy having the girl asking if we wanted to check out constantly when it was clear we were there for the band and were continuing to order things. All in all, I liked the place. However, I was there with my family to see the band and likely won't jump to go back unless they have another band we specifically want to see.

This place has great potential. It's a really fun spot. The food was fairly good. The chicken fried steak was great. The okra was great. The wings were chicken nuggets, but they were flavored great. My problem was because they have a concrete floor and tin siding it's really noisy in there. I ordered mashed potatoes and green beans as a side with my chicken fried steak. The mashed potatoes were boxed potatoes and the green beans were canned and really stood out in the flavor. The service was okay. She was really friendly, but maybe doesn't have all the skills of a good waitress.

Walk in, sit down and relax. One of the friendly wait staff will get to you in a little bit. And on Wednesdays, you just gotta get the chicken fried steak. It was pretty near perfect! And only $8!!

Called in a to go order for 2 Chicken Fried Steak specials. The lady who took my order let me know that they were slammed, so if I could give them 30-35 minutes. I appreciated that so much due to having gone in before and having to wait 20 additional minutes. When I got there, it was a full house inside and out. There were 2 other customers waiting for to go orders. They did a great job getting us all taken care of. I will dine in next time so I can try some of that ice cream I saw everyone enjoying! It looked so good! Even having to drive almost 20 minutes, when I got home, the food was still warm, and everything tasted so good! The breading on the CFS was perfectly seasoned and fried! The mashed potatoes and green beans were delicious!

I haven't tried the food but hear great things about it. I mainly come here to hangout at the outside bar and sometimes inside. Everyone is super nice here even Doc himself! The drink prices are great here and they make good ones. It's just the best atmosphere. My go to place to hangout and have a good time.

Good Food, Cold Beers, and Friendly Staff. Everyone from the owners to the regulars makes you feel welcome. Keep up the Great Service!

Lived in Abilene for 20+ yrs The best atmosphere so far for sure. The food was excellent as well. Not to mention the service was top shelf. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
