The atmosphere is warm and homey--you truly feel like family the moment you walk in. The kids ordered the waffles and French toast, and my son devoured his so fast I couldn't even get a picture! We ordered the Hash Benedict, and the hash was perfectly crispy on the outside while still juicy and flavorful. We also had the breakfast sandwich, which was delicious. I would probably order my eggs scrambled instead of over medium next time, but that's just personal preference--it was still a great meal. One thing to know before you go: they are cash only, so come prepared. If you forget, there's an ATM available on-site. We'll definitely be back!

Good food, nice people, great little old-fashioned coffee shop/diner. The best pancakes in town.read more

It's not something you see on the menu every day in Wisconsin, but I have a love for it from trips down South... And they nailed it. Fragrant with garlic and generously portioned, it had a brothy, exquisite base. It makes my mouth water to recall! We will return for some of the other delicious items on the menu. Thanks for a great evening!

Grabbed dinner here on Sunday and was it was relatively slow, which is not typical. We were seated…read moreimmediately and our server was quick to greet us and grab drinks. We started with a small order of guacamole and chips; both were fresh and extremely tasty. My husband had the chicken enchiladas with red sauce, my daughter had a kids cheese quesadilla with fries and I opted for the cream of chicken rice soup and margarita flatbread. Everyone was very impressed with their choice. The flatbread was very unique in that it had a red marinara sauce with the traditional tomato, mozzarella, basil and basalmic drizzle; it really gave the dish a great flavor. The soup is usually my favorite but it wasn't up to par this time; it was too thick and pretty flavorless. I took it home for lunch and added pepper and lemon which made it better but still too thick. Overall great meal and we will return.

We have been coming here for years and LOVE the food! We drive over 30 minutes to get here but that's ok because they always have fantastic food and friendly staff. They have very reasonably priced burgers that are the biggest we have seen at any restaurant. Almost every time we are there, I get the smelt and it is delicious! On Friday, they have really good all you can eat fish fry. read more

Chris has a hidden gem in her food!! Hamburgers, fish, fried chicken all excellent. This IS a bar however. Most of the time the bartender Is The cook, and waitress as well. Have some patience, sit at the bar for faster service. $25 gets you a meal and couple drinks as well. The food is fresh, homemade, and very reasonable. Our favorite go to place!! Great job Chris! read more

It had very mild flavor with thin piece of cod. It didn't seem to be homemade more likely purchased that way and just cooked on-site. The baked cod came out very hot in the dish it was cooked in. The seasoning had very mild flavor. The potato pancakes were good but again not homemade. They provided a nice serving of applesauce; that had very good flavor. We both liked the coleslaw. It was made with diced cabbage that was seasoned well. Our server did a good job. She was very attentive and provided refills of our beverages without being prompted. We love the facility. Nice large bar, both high top and regular height tables inside. Also a large outdoor patio with another bar, tent area with tables, and more tables on the open air part of the patio. They also have live music most weekends.

We then ordered the Turkey. Club In the menu it has turkey breast, bacon, shaved ham, choice of cheese stacked with lettuce, and tomato. NO where does it say Pickles. When I ordered I even said no pickles. I do NOT like pickles and all the pickle juice on my plate or sandwich! Well the sandwich came and it had Thick Sliced Pickles. It always ruins the meal for me. It's always SO loud there. It will be a while if we decide to return.

And im not sure how they navigated the dining room to serve the customers. I will say my food was good and was served promptly.

They have multiple large TV's strategy placed so if you want to watch a game it's great for that. They have both high-top and regular height tables with the major regular height. We tried the Pot roast dinner, Mushroom Swiss burger, and the chicken dumplings soup. The soup had excellent flavor and was homemade. Only wish it had more dumplings. The Pot roast dinner came with three large, thick pieces of beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, and carrots. Everything was very good and something that I would order again. One part of burger patty was a little over done but the rest was much better. Ordered medium and it was more medium well but still very tasty and delicious. Our server was amazing and took great care of us. Also got to meet Mike, assistant GM, and really enjoyed talking with him. They have a large parking lot and I believe you can also pull up in your boat. Only recommendation I would have for them is the handicapped parking spaces are on the west side of the entrance and the handicapped ramp is on the east side of the entrance. Would be nice if they were on the same side of the entrance. Highly recommend Doc's on the Fox!
