I giggled some of the reviews. You're fat! Hello, you're in the south, sweetie! If you're looking for the Yankee-fied version of hot links, this is not! I grew up on Doc's. I'll say it's changed since they changed owners. The Henderson family bought the place in 1969 and sold it about a year ago. They still taste just as good, but it's either that I'm getting old (he or a slight change in preparation, but they're a bit too fat for me today, so I buy them raw and bring them home, bake or grill them. My sons are now 3. (maybe 4.) creating Doc's fans. They're just cashless, and I heard that the sauce is the best, but I prefer mine with ketchup and salins. The seats are a U-shaped Formica table, and you just stand above the bench and sit a spell and enjoy the scholarship atmosphere while you lie down. There is no online order, no delivery (except you're friends with a local who will bring you some! but they are well worth the ride from...well, everywhere!

Pittsburg (East TX, NOT PA) style hot links. You're perfect! If you don't know what a hot link is, don't ask. Just enjoy it! You have 2 choices: either bite the end and fill it with hot sauce, or eat it with a saltin. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Heart attack on a paper plate. My father was born in 19 and 31 and ate here as a child. I'm trying to sit out here, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do, it's bad for you, Lol. Make sure to use the hot sauce and a Lil Chili on your links and an orange soda and dont tell your wife stopped in....weg

Living in Florida as a local cracker, I am always looking for traditional fare. I'm tired of Italian sausage! Looking for Hot Links. Docs has an unused potential. Ship them!! Take her to the dry ice! I'll pay for shipping!

Just Great Links. Old timey atmosphere and just plain great hot links. Stop in for sit down or grab a dozen or so to go. You will not be sorry. I will drive from Longview just to get Doc's HotLinks. They are that good.
