The Story

Big flavors and porchside energy define

Doc’s Porchside, where Southern-inspired favorites set the tone. The menu ranges from Redneck Egg Rolls and NOLA Baked Oysters to Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Crawfish Dip, Shrimp and Grits, and bubbling Mac and Cheese Skillets. Shareable appetizers, stacked burgers, and flatbreads round things out, making it easy to gather a table of friends or host birthdays, reunions, and post-game celebrations at their Washington Road or Grovetown locations.

Beyond the plate, Doc’s keeps the calendar full with trivia nights, weekend live music, and a porch built for lingering conversations. With 30 beers on tap and screens throughout for the big game, it is a reliable neighborhood hangout. Named for founder Jan “Doc” Scholer and now led by his son Daniel, the restaurant reflects more than two decades of Scholer family hospitality and a commitment to many more years of good times.
