We’re Open: DOC’s Smokehouse offers a traditional southern barbecue in downtown Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE — DOC’s Smokehouse on 754 Vel R. Phillips Ave, is a southern barbecue restaurant in downtown Milwaukee.

Brent Brashier owns it.

“I lived most of my grownup life in Austin, Texas,” Brashier says. “What we tried to do right here was to recreate the locations that I grew up going to. We’re a really conventional southern barbecue restaurant that additionally has good bourbon and beer.”

They smoke their meat for 14 to 16 hours earlier than they serve it.

“We like for our meat to talk for itself,” Brashier beams. “Every thing we do is dry rubbed and smoked, nothing is sauced. We’ve got 5 house-made sauces on every desk that you just’re welcome to make use of. Our smoked wings are very completely different. After they’re smoked, we cool them off. Whenever you get them organized, we fry them which makes them crispy after which we add our dry rub.”

DOC’s Smokehouse is situated contained in the Marriott Milwaukee at 754 Vel R. Phillips Ave. It’s open Tuesdays by Thursdays 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
