    Every customer's personal space and body should be respected. It is management's responsibility to keep customers safe in their place of business. Your business has failed to do so. My family and I will not patronize this restaurant going forward. Do better.

    Place is dirty. Suggestion: power wash your patio. Get speakers outside. A customer was playing music from their phone. Cleaned my own table. Waited over 30 minutes to get service ordered drinks never came out. The waitress who took my order saw when I came in she sat down at a table next to us and talked to others for 15 minutes just to eventually come to us and we still waited. Ended up leaving... didn't have anything. Got great food and drinks at Public House 28.

    Freaking great vibes loved the crowd. It was a mixture of different people. And the food is freaking amazing. The portion size is amazing. The place then smell like a lot of cigarette which was really good. The drinks were also awesome. Being that they had a very good special going on. And also we played bingo. Which is also amazing. And the person doing bingo was also fantastic very friendly and a people person. Will definitely be coming back. SN: I feel like this place ends racism🤣🤣

    Wings are a hit or miss. They fry them too hard sometimes. But they still get 5 stars because parking and entry are free and drinks are always STRONG and cheap.

    I'll give two stars because the food was decent, but I wouldn't recommend the place!!!! I had been there 20 - 25 years ago and decided to have a late lunch!! The smell hits you at the door!! I've been around the bar business for 30 years and there's steps you can take to get rid of smoke and stale beer smells!!! We sit at a table near the bar and there's a menu and a dirty ashtray already there for our convenience!! My wife nor I smoke!! The menu literally has black mold inside the plastic cover where liquid was spilled into the menu and nothing was done about it for years!!! Copies are not very expensive every 5 years or so!!! 🤷‍♂️ I leaned over onto a half wall that had the brass bar rail above it to see a TV better and I thought I was going to be a permanent fixture in the place...I swear I lost hair off my arm to get unstuck from it!!! Food was good but I ordered seasoned fries and they came out plain, told the waitress and she said she'd bring another order out, I'm not hard to please, I told her to just bring some seasoning and she went sit down with EVERY OTHER EMPLOYEE WORKING THE FLOOR AND BAR!!! Bartender and both waitresses sitting down for around 10 minutes!! My wife finally got up and went ask for the seasoning!!! I'm just not sure how this place is still open!! Especially in the area it's in??? They could have great business but I damn sure won't be going back!!!! Bathroom had so much water on the floor that I seriously thought it would come over my flip flops!!!!!

    Dive bar for the service industry professionals, super smokey, super slow service but the food is decent. The bartenders pour heavy which is awesome. Closes late and Cobb County police are constantly around the building which makes me feel safe when I walk to my car.

    From out of town and Stopped at Docs on a Wednesday. Waitresses were friendly. Put money in the TouchTunes but manager would not turn the music up. Just trying to have a good time…

    This place is sad. The service was ridiculous slow. It wasn’t even that busy. The pasta salad was awful. The potato chips tasted like cigarette smoke

    Very lively local place. The service and food were amazing. I had the Reuben sandwich which was built nicely with the right amount of meat and sauce (something that alot of places get wrong). My buddy had the hamburger which was cooked medium with. Good amout of veggies to meat. The waitress was crazy friendly and very quick with our food and beer. Honestly, the only issue I had was the smoke. People at the bar are allowed to smoke which obviously flowed over to us. Aside from that, a must stop if you are in the area!

    Wow what a place. I stumbled in with as old friend last year after a long night of partying. Little did I know I was showing up to the after party. Think of True Blood or any other show with a grungy dive bar and that’s Doc’s. A humble but lively venue with fair food a endless selection of drinks and unique patrons. Definitely recommend for a post party/outing spot but don’t expect a chill environment if you go after midnight on a weekend.

    I was caught off guard when I walked in and learned this establishment allowed smoking. Reviews and menu looked good so we decided to give it a go. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was tasty. I had the Reuben Reuben and tater tots. They were done to my liking. Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy their choices.

    My take out order was made wrong last night , and was missing what I was charged as well as the curly fries were hard and cold . I returned the meal with the receipt and was talk to and treated so unprofessional. ( white male) said I should have called last night . I advise him I wasn’t aware of that policy it should be in writing on the receipt or posted where a customer can see it. I wasn’t asking for a refund I was asking for what I paid for. Docs has lost a customer and needs to train staff in customer service and professionalism especially ( management) . Had my order been made right I wouldn’t have to waste my time or gas bringing it back. #Take accountability

    Great vibe! We sat at the park & the service was good! It took a while for the food to come out, but was worth the wait.

    Ew. Definitely a local hole in the wall. They were nice but the food was horrible. I placed my order to go to was so disappointed. Also, if you have asthma, stay away. Definitely nicotine friendly!

  • 1/5 Darius J. 2 years ago on Google
    The managers and staff were complete trash. One of the waitresses put her hands on me instead of saying excuse me and when I told her she was rude I was told to leave. I never pull the race card but it was way too obvious as another waitress came outside to talk to me and the people I was with and the manager asked her if she was okay and demanded she come inside. This was the SECOND time I've had a horrific experience like this and they both seemed race driven. I gave it another chance. Security was amazing and honest but that manager was at us the whole night. I am disgusted.

    If you are sensitive to smoke, this is not the place to go. If you can tolerate it for some awesome wings and decently priced drinks, this place is for you. I brave the smoky atmosphere for the delicious wings from time to time and it's such a treat!

  • 4/5 Pamela J. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent drinks! Vibe was nice, laid back, friendly folks, lots of regulars having a good time, it was a special event so there was live music. It was smoky though and because it was packed service was a little slow; it was worth the wait, my fish tacos and fried mushrooms were good.

  • 5/5 Kym P. 5 months ago on Google
    Best wings ever! The drinks are so strong that you think they're trying to kill you. The waitresses are clearly not there for their waitressing skills. I ordered 3 things and no lie, the waitress came back to my table 3 time to ask me what each thing was. The clientele is great. Everyone there is just trying to have a good time and enjoy life.

    Great atmosphere for the black community and good music 🎶 but don’t order the macho nacho! Nothing macho about it 😩 *edit: it did taste good though. 😅

  • 2/5 William C. 6 months ago on Google
    Out of our known path my rep took me to this place. Unfortunately we came out smelling of cigarettes. I would not return. Food was great service excellent. I had a grilled patty melt on mixed rye bread with the perfect amount of grilled onions. Iced tea. Derek my rep enjoyed his food too and he was delivered soda after soda even before he asked

  • 5/5 Bettina Y. 6 months ago on Google
    Service was slow but they were pretty packed. I got my food to go because I couldn't find a seat. Finally a gentleman gave me his seat and I had a few drinks while waiting for my food on a Friday night at midnight. The atmosphere was delightful. Many social people out for a drink and a bite to eat. I got their wings and artichoke hearts. They were both very satisfying, and delicious.

  • 4/5 Taiye A. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was great, service was a tad slow, but the food was great! I'll definitely go back, but I'll eat outside.

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 10 months ago on Google
    We loved this place. We were in Georgia for a family reunion & needed a place to unwind after a long trip. The food was great! Theresa was an amazing server & Mike made us feel at home. We will definitely be back! Great job Doc's!

  • 5/5 Michelle W. 10 months ago on Google
    This has become one of our favorite dinner spots! Love the ribeye steak. Lots of atmosphere & always packed out. Love the old school music they play. Theirs pool tables, can play bingo while eating or getting drinks. If your a smoker they allow smoking at the bar & tables.

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food always hits which you don't expect since it's bar food. Fun atmosphere all the time. I even bring my work with me sometimes when ib just want to get out of the house and have a drink. Service depends on how crowded it is and who you have. It's never horrible but some ppl are better than others.

  • 1/5 Athena W. 11 months ago on Google
    I wish I would’ve had the same food experience that the other reviews have shown, but I did not. I place a to-go order for chicken tenders and fries that I paid $20 for, and received greasy, overcooked, unseasoned chicken.

  • 5/5 Brittany H. 2 years ago on Google
    Really cool vibes. Mixed crowed. Secured bar.

  • 5/5 James B. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this place about 7 years ago and loved it! Met the owners, super nice people, very local vibe and a super friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Malik H. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a cool spot to have a few drinks and kick it for a few close to home. Got your regulars and newbies. Staff is always cool. Waitresses and bartenders. Only place I can still smoke 🚬 inside. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. Kitchen not bad either for a late night snack. Stays open later than most.

  • 3/5 aisha T. 2 years ago on Google
    Ok after hours spot. Can do better with waiters and how you get in. After a certain time have to use front door. There is 7 signs on the door to enter that you must read... which is too much. I'm not from here (Atl) not sure if I would recommend. Waiter disappear then when asked a question they very frustrated. Waiter Christian came and waited on us very nice polite. Wasn't our Waiter but assisted us. SHE IS THE ONLY REASON I GAVE A THREE STARS!

  • 4/5 Shandra J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good service, and prices but some things on the menu was not available. The food took longer than expected but was PHENOMENAL . The decor is giving dive bar with a hint of Auntie house vibes. I heard that it's not the best place to be after 12 AM because of the crowd but overall I'd go back and order the same thing.

  • 5/5 Amanda R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great wings. Cheap drinks. Wish they would stop raising the prices on wings though. Definitely try the lemon pepper rub on the wings if you do get them

  • 4/5 Shunre J. 2 years ago on Google
    The wings were great and the service was fast. We didn't know it was Bingo night which was fun and very entertaining. I actually won the first Bingo of the night. Free money isn't so bad since this was my first time eating here. If you're not a smoker I would advise not to eat inside.

👍 Very quick service for a Friday afternoon and the food was hot and fresh. I personally felt like there was too much sausage in the #1 and it could’ve used another potato instead. However, to each their own. Prices are reasonable and you will leave feeling full. A DJ was coming in as we were leaving...
