Ordered a Pull Pork Sandwich and half chicken and this is what we got. Before ordering we asked the woman at the cashier if this isn’t Lexington BBQ Style and she reaffirmed us that it’s not. Well, that’s exactly what we got, flavorless meat with no sauce. She pointed that the table has BBQ sauce and once we got the sit at the table with our food, we tried the sauce. It was vinegar style aka Lexington style BBQ. How Deceptive. She said “we pride ourselves with our meat”. This is their pride. Tough chicken that I couldn’t even take a bite, almost colorless and no real BBQ sauce. Such a shame that this is the kind of cooking we are paying alot for. We had to go to a store to buy some normal BBQ sauce to give it some flavor but that itself didn’t help the chicken. It was undercooked. The Baked beans was disgusting. Very disappointed. She cared less of our concern asking her if that’s the only BBQ sauce they had. Very arrogant woman. Don’t waste your money on a place that doesn’t know how to cook real BBQ.

Love Doc Brown’s!! Great food with so much love in every item they make. Good local beer – for cheap! Live music in their parking lot concert series is awesome!

Just moved to Asheville from Texas, and I didn’t expect to find the best BBQ ribs I’ve ever had in North Carolina! The glazed spare rib by the bone is such. Great deal and you can customize your sides and a variety of sizes from a dab of slaw of a full portion. The cokes are always chilled just right! The perfect stop for some incredible food!!

Super friendly folks, fast service, good food! They have vegetarian BBQ, but not being a huge tempeh fan I opted for some sides.

Stopped by here while visiting Asheville, per my Airbnb host’s recommendation, and couldn’t have been more pleased! The BBQ is the best around and the service was great. Be sure to try the ribs, the pulled beef plate, and pulled pork sandwiches, they were incredible. And all of the sides will leave you coming back for more! 10/10 recommend this authentic and local BBQ joint.

This place is gem. Really authentic southern barbecue in a charming and friendly setting. Staff was super friendly and helpful and the food arrived shortly after I ordered it. Pulled pork and the Lexington slaw is a must-have. Be sure to try the South Carolina style mustard bbq sauce, so good I took some back home with me! If you’re an out-of-towner like me, this a great place to try if you really want a true taste of Southern and Carolina style barbecue.

The brisket is slow cooked with skill and dedication. The BBQ is tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor. On the side, mac and cheese pie is browned to perfection, certifiably lip smackin collard greens don’t sit but for a minute, and a most structurally-sound flavor powerhouse of a cornbread muffin with a complex sweetness and those wonderful edges is such a treat!

I’ve heard good things about this place over the years and finally made my way out there to try it. I got the pulled pork plate with collard greens and Mac and cheese pie. My significant other got the same but with baked beans instead of collards. We also got some spare ribs on the side, bigger than I thought they would be but at $3 each a really good deal. I also grabbed a thing of their Brunswick stew to try later at home. All the food was fantastic, pork was incredibly tender and moist without any overwhelming seasoning on it. Mac and cheese pie was amazing, best one I’ve had at any restaurant. Would totally eat here again.

I don’t say this lightly because as a foodie I generally have to be really impressed to say anything is extraordinary, but this place… Is absolutely incredible and blew away any other barbecue I have literally ever had!
