Came out to support Amy Donohue, who was part of a comedy show at Doc’s. Had never heard of Doc’s before, so as any good Yelper would do, I read the reviews. I was a little worried about how the service would be based on the reviews, but figured I’d keep an open mind and see what happened.
We got there as the doors opened at 7 and were seated right away. It’s a beautiful place; very classy. Service was fast and our server was really nice. I wonder if the service was prompt because we were there so early? Who knows. What I do know is we got our drinks, appetizer and our meals in under 30 minutes. And they checked back often throughout the evening for drink refills.
The food was AMAZING. I had this huge baked potato smothered in creole sauce with prawns and roasted veggies. Hubby had chicken in pasta with the same sauce. I wanted to take home a gallon of this sauce so I can cook with it at home. SO good.
I’m not sure when we’ll be back — it’s quite a trek from Gilbert. It’s also gets on the pricey side when you have a door fee and dinner on top of it. But to come out and support a friend it was totally worth it! If you’re in the CenPho area, I’d definitely recommend going and eating here once or twice. Did I mention the food is OMG SO GOOD?
Doc’s Place is located at 40 E. Camelback Rd. in Uptown — 602.277.5999

Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 26 million viewers just last month!
