Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grill

Based on the amazing Doc Ford novels written by Randy Wayne White, Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grill is a great place to bring the family to enjoy a casual dining experience and bring some of the Doc Ford tales to life. While traveling many of the Southern areas of the globe, Randy fell in love with the sauces and spices that went into these locales’ food preparation and wanted to bring those flavors back home. Doc Ford’s was opened hoping that they would be a more upscale sports bar selling food that would set them above the rest! And that is exactly what happened! Come and see what their food is all about.
