    Pecan Old Fashioned
    Marcie A.

    Found another outstanding fish fry at Doc's on the Fox in Waterford. This is a great little Bar and Grill. We (party of three) got there around 4:30 and were seated right away. This place sits right on the Fox River and because we had never been before, we asked for a table with a view of the water which they happily accommodated us. The place looked very clean and there was a nice crowd. The staff was very polite and efficient. We started with drinks, a Pecan Old Fashioned, a Kettle One with Seltzer and an Octoberfest Beer then we all ordered fish frys. 2 baked cod and a walleye. It was raining so we didn't get to walk around outside too much but apparently they have two dock slips to come by boat. Thry also have a rooftop patio which overlooks the water but it was closed due to the rain. They did let us up there to take a few pics which are posted below

    We sat up on the rooftop right during the sunset and it was magical. Ordered fun drinks in little buckets and had food too! The fish tacos were fantastic!

    My daughter and I stopped for a quick lunch and were glad we stopped here. We were seated promptly, and our waitress was very nice and attentive. We decided on soup and a side of macaroni and cheese each, and we shared the cheese garlic bread that came with a side of marinara. My daughter enjoyed her French onion soup, and the chicken and dumpling soup was so yummy! The Mac and cheese had cavatavi noodles with the creaminess cheese sauce, so good!! Crunchy garlic bread with perfectly melted cheese and a very tasty marinara sauce for dipping. We each had a Carbliss Seltzer, which I don't find at many places. Outdoor seating was closed until the end of the month, which would be lovely because it is right on the water. Good lunch decision!

    Greek salad (no feta, sub cheddar jack cheese)

    Enjoyed dinner on the top floor outside with a friend tonight. The view of the river and dock is fantastic! The patio has a fun, summer bat vibe going. I'd definitely enjoy a Sunday Funday here. My friend and I split the spinach artichoke dip. It came with plenty of pita bread pieces for dipping. Loved the pita bread! The dip itself was good, but a bit greasy. My friend ordered the chicken Ceasar wrap and I got the Greek salad (sub cheddar jack cheese for feta). We both enjoyed our meals. Decent portions and fresh ingredients. We went up to the bar to place our order, hut there were a couple of servers walking around, promptly clearing our table and checking on us. This is a fun spot with plenty of food and drink options.

    A great choice today. Our intended destination was closed for the day, so we sat in the parking lot looking for a full meal. Doc's had what we wanted. Started with out Maker's Old Fashioneds. Ordered Spicy Fried Shrimp for an appetizer. The breading is very delicate, had to scoop it up out of the spicy Sweet and Sour sauce. The breading is light, delicate and delicious, so don't leave it behind. The sauce had a little heat, which enhanced the flavor. Sundays, they have Fried Chicken dinner special. The breading is very delicate with a light crunch, the chicken full of flavor and juicy. Homemade Mash Potatoes and Chicken Gravy were excellent. The Vegetable medley was well seasoned and delicious. Today's desserts were Key Lime Cheesecake and Peanutbutter Cheesecake (my ears hear nothing after Peanutbutter is mentioned). Both were very light and fluffy. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. Looking forward to try the Wed and Fri Fish Fry.

    Wasn't sure what to expect from this place, but the pics looked intriguing so I thought we'd at least sit outside by the water. Not quite as depicted, but still very nice and spacious with an upper floor which appears to have water views. Service was impeccable and very attentive. Busser made several attempts to clear dishes throughout the visit. The appetizers were a good size and hot and tasty. Spinach artichoke dip was the standard and the cheese curds were pretty good too. Fish fry was decent. Only a half piece of bread but the other half would have been nice. Prices and menu were average American "barish" items and the place had a clean vibe and appearance.

    Staff is very friendly and the service was fast and great. The bar service was excellent and the drinks were well made.

    We ate at Doc's several times during our stay in the area. Loved the outside patio and had excellent fish fries.

    Otis, the owner is a joy to talk to. I did have a long wait but talking to Otis the whole was very…read moreenjoyable. When I got home and discovered my beans and mac and cheese were not in the bag Otis drove them right over We tried everything on the menu except the 2 things you have to order in advance. I loved the sausage and mac and cheese and the beans are amazing! The slaw was good but needed salt and the pork and chicken were moist and flavorful. Very good and the only good BBQ in the area. I would skip the peach cobbler next time. Not inly was it too sweet( not something I ever experienced before) But it was just a wet sloppy mess when we tried it to go. There was no cobbler part to find from the steam I guess. Should be refrigerated before putting in a container.

    Lovely people, but this is the worst barbecue I've ever tasted…read more I ordered a brisket plate and literally every piece was 50% fat. Not marbled fat - just a big ol' fat wad accounting for 50% of the slice. The non-fat 50% was as dry as boot leather. Ridiculous. Your rub should not be "black pepper, and more black pepper, and more black pepper." I like black pepper as much as the next guy, but I've never had as much in my mouth as this place offers. The owner told me he came up from Texas. My guess is he was banished for crimes against meat. When ordering a plate, you get two sides. Cornbread is not an option. (Weird.) I got peach cobbler and it was fine. Cole slaw was okay, but lacking seasoning. Mac and cheese was not my cup of tea, but it wasn't inedible. It's fitting that Big O's is in the same building as a funeral services company because this is the place where barbecue comes to die.
