Doc's Hot Links — Restaurant in Gilmer

The service was great!!! Candy and the two other ladies were super friendly. We talked about everything from Jesus to Gilmer history. The building is definitely something from yesteryear. It looks like an old factory building from a century ago. When you go inside, it seems little has ever changed in that place. It is always neat to see something outdated still going. I like the U.S. maps on both sides of the store where you can sign your name in the area you're from!!! I also liked the sign that read, "$5.00 fee for whining." No wimps allowed there. Also, the board game in the box of GilmerOpoly was pretty cool. The food was ok. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could, but there is no rating for that. The beans and jalapeño links were my favorite things to eat. The ranch style beans had bbq sauce in them. The jalapeno links had some heat to them. They made for a good sandwich. The links were different than what we're used to. The meat was softer, and the casing wasn't dry like I've always had. I'm not sure it was pork or hamburger meat. Next time we're in Gilmer, my wife and I will be back!!! I can't forget to say they sell Doc's Hot Links T-shirts too!!! Thanks to the staff for making it a pleasant experience!!!

A traditional staple of East Texas. The links were very good. A little bit oily, but they were good. The beans were excellent and potatoe salad average. The fact that they have been around so long speaks for itself. I would not choose to eat there every day, but will seek them out from time to time while in the area. The service was fast and very friendly. Waitress was helpful and patient while we made our choices. The patrons were friendly and interactive. A very nice change from so many fast paced dining establishments. Doc's is one of those places you should just go and try if you are in the area. Not expensive, and you can eat a little or a lot, the choice is yours. Links are available to purchase and take home to cook. This is a...

Oh my goodness. We've lived in this area for a decade but just tried these links for the first time. I didn't know what I was missing. We had been watching Texas Country Reporter re-runs on YouTube and one came on for Doc's. They looked so good, we decided to go into town and give them a try. I've never tasted links like these in my life. Melt in your mouth tenderness that was a very pleasant surprise. Most links I've ever had have been tough to chew, but not these. Also, they have beans and potato salad that are very good. Needless to say we are now fans and will be going back. If you haven't tried them then do yourself a favor and do so. ...
