Doc Browns

Been here three times. Each time hoping they’d improve. Each time leaving disappointed.
Pros: location and drink prices,
Cons: hard to figure out what they’re trying to be. Restaurant? Club? Bar? Dave & Busters? Food is crazily overpriced. Service is slow. Bathroom is dirty. No dance space, although they have a dj.

Today was the 2^nd time I visited this establishment. The 1^st time was in December before the holiday break. 1^st impression was good. Place was still «new», it was big, had lots of tables, good music, but they had zero wait staff. We had to order our food at the bar and continued to wait at the bar to order drinks. Keep in mind, there are 2 bars but only 1 was open with a house full of awesome folks wanting to wind down after a long work week. The lines were so long and it took forever to get served.
The music was great but horribly loud and we all had to yell at each other.
Food wasn’t bad. Had a burger, it was good. My friend ordered appetizers and only got one order and never received the 2^nd, even though she was charged for it. The lady’s restroom was a mess and one of the sinks had some leftover vomit that didn’t drain all the way. So gross.
Even w the horrible service, long lines, music being overly loud, my friends and I decided to give this place another try today…2 months from our last visit hopeful that they got their shit together. Well… we were wrong. Again, the music was way too loud, they had no open tables, no wait staff to be found and rude bartenders. Actually, the only open tables were left empty for the 3hrs I was there w a reserved sign. Really??? Like we couldn’t sit at this empty table bc you have it reserved for people who haven’t even shown up?
The music kept stopping or skipping and if you were enjoying the song they were playing, well too bad bc after a few mins, they just moved to another song.
My friend and I waited patiently to order a drink. She gets her order out, however, I was never asked for mine. I continued to wave someone down and I started to think I was invisible. Another girl bartender looks straight at me, sees I have no drink, however proceeds to the guys at the bar who got there after me and took all their orders. When I finally did get their attention to complain, I got nothing but blank stares and no apology. Needless to say, no tip for them.
And lets discuss the restroom situation again. There are about 6 – 7 stalls and only 1 had toilet paper in it and one stall was overflowed probably bc they had to use the paper towels to wipe themselves with. I let the bartenders know so someone can replace the TP. I go b4 I leave and I see all the stalls w a huge ass roll of TP on the floor for us to use. Really??? Is it too hard to open up the bin and replace the TP?
Needless to say, if you want to visit a place that has loud music w horrible service, dirty restrooms, rude bar staff but cheap buds, this is the place for you. The beer was cheap.
With all the marketing this place does and it being in a prime location in Alamo Ranch, you’d think you would do better. I’ve read all the reviews on their own FB page and it’s sad to see the horrible responses this place has to their own complaints and feedback. It’s just sad. I honestly think any 4 – 5 ratings have been by the staff or family members.
Visit at your own risk. Take some ear plugs while you drink cheap beer.
The Doc Brown staff did respond to my review on their FB page and took no ownership of their rude staff, horrible service and dirty restrooms but turned it around on me being abusive to their staff. Hilarious!

Where to begin… when we arrived the place was completely empty… we stood there for 10 mins waiting for the hostess to be seated. We ordered mimosas and water… the mimosas looked and tasted like piss water… Disgusting… when the server finally took our order… we waited… and waited aannnndddd waited… after an hour had gone by. we simply got up and left… won’t be back ever.

I guess I’m jaded when it comes to bar food… but I must say the grilled bourbon glazed wings are some of the best I’ve had. Also, the bison burger is great. Cool neighborhood spot.

Went in for brunch on a Sunday. Service was long and slow, but food was good. They have big portions. Video games are free and fun. Décor is nice.

We had brunch here today and sat at the bar top. They were not too busy maybe about 3 other tables with customers. First of all the food took long to come out. Second of all the bartender was stuck handling us two plus the other tables. She was put in a shitty situation having to take care of everyone (we didn’t see any other servers) however I still feel she could’ve been more attentive to us. Especially being right there infront of her while she makes other people’s drinks. She hardly asked if we were okay but she was quick to tell us she was «sorry I’m frustrated»? It took her 30 minutes to finally make our drinks because she was more worried about her tables. The food however was good but like I said earlier took the kitchen awhile to bring it out. Also my mimosa was not that great. The orange juice tastes old! I MIGHT try this place again… maybe. But right now, I’m not too satisfied.

Bartender didn’t know how to make a simple daiquiri. White rum, simple syrup, lime juice.
I got an old fashioned and it tasted… Off.
I haven’t tried the food but first experience kind of turned me off for any future visits.

Doc Browns is a fairly new place to the area. It’s a must try at least once for happy hour, or even date night. They have food, full bar and video games for the little and big kids. This last time I went i ended up going to happy hour it was around 530 or so and we had about 8 of us there. Coming right from work of course we are hungry and we are need of some alcoholic beverages. The happy hour is great 3 dollar margarita, and 2 dollar domestic beers. They also have a menu of wonderful food you must try anything from wings, burgers, to duck fries. There is a DJ playing in the background of us talking and talking. There is a theme night during the week. The day we went I think it was 80’s night. We had a good time. The one thing I do recommend it to have enough staff on hand to handle a happy hour crowd. There was only one waitress from what we could see. The kitchen staff was the ones taking out the food which seemed a bit odd but it worked I got my wings. I’m sure I will be back soon, maybe for a night out. So if you’re in the area I do suggest you at least try it once or twice.

Really nice place! I was disappointed both times! We ordered jalapeño poppers and were surprised to get 2 for $ 8! Kinda pricey especially when we had to wait 5 min to get napkins and silverware! We asked the bartender for them and she stood without moving for 3 min… She comes back to tell us that it shouldn’t take too much longer as for she told someone else to go and get it!
The next time I was standing in between 2 guys (I was there first) and she helped them first! When she was going to walk away and help a third I stopped her to tell her she hadn’t helped me and she seemed pissed that I said something! Sat there with friends to see bottles, glasses, and food stacked up on the majority of tables while 2 bar backs and maybe a MGR were eating at a table and looking around! After 25 min a guy finally came by and picked up stuff after the «MGR» walked right past the stuff 10 min earlier!
I just don’t get this place!

Great location for folks on this side town… however… The music… Lord the music… Really it’s not the 80s or 90s… But it’s cool if that’s your thing… At least play some really good shit from that era… Asked if they would play some bachata… Apparently that’s a NO GO… No country and anything Spanish is played there… Nothing Spanish 140 miles from the Mexico border… Hmmm? Yet they let in the riff raff they try to keep out by not playing Spanish music so what gives? Oh before I forget… Experienced hate from some black dudes just cuz we are having fun… Maybe the bouncers should keep a closer eye on the wanna be thugs idiots n kindly get them out of the establishment

To the simple minded this place is probably confusing judging the last two reviewers. The reason she saw children in the bar is b cause it is a restaurant by day, obviously the second female reviewer has never been to a restaurant with a bar. During the day and happy hour the vibe is great and the food is amazing. On the weekends it’s a bit like a club not really my scene but happy hour this is the place to check out.

This place has amazing food. I will be going back as often as possible. The short rib grilled cheese is so addicting. I love it! I also love the pocket cheese burgers they have. The drinks are great as well. The brunch on the weekends is delicious! Give it a try! This is my new go to spot.

80’s themed bar and restaurant.
Plenty of loud music and free video games and shuffle board game.
Small dance floor by hardly anyone was dancing. Limited tables and room.
At times elbows to elbows but still a great time. They also have a patio with plenty of room.
Gotta try just for the music and flash back Experience.

I agree with the first review. I’m not sure what clientele they are seeking. Our first time, the door man told my boyfriend to wear a collared shirt the next time we visit — which was fine and we respected it. Our 4^th visit, there was a guy in basketball shorts visiting the bar. So we are confused what the dress code is. Some doormen wear baseball shirts, some wear all black. It’s casual to some employees and guest– a dressier for other employees and guest. I guess we are confused if we will get turned away one week and not the next.
They ID us one week, then not the next weekend. I find it inconsistent. We even saw children there once (even a baby in a stroller!)
They play lots of good music– but I wish they played it louder and there was more room to dance. They are good when they have the dj from Cooter Browns there. he plays really good music and is funny!
There’s tables that you can order food– which is nice… But the one time we got a table– noone served us– so we couldn’t try the food. But the food we have seen looks yummy!
This place has potential. They just need to find a clientele, theme, and find consistency. It’s also new, which means clean restrooms!
