    Clam chowder

    Went early (415pm) last Friday. There wasn't a wait for a table when we arrived, but when we left, people were lined up waiting! My 2 dining partners loved the fish fry and potato pancakes. The buffalo chicken wrap was excellent, as was the homemade chicken dumpling soup. The homemade ranch is awesome! Terrific service. Great atmosphere. Skip the espresso martini.

    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.

    Found by mistake while driving by , but found a real gem in the woods , food was great and service…read morewas outstanding. Really a good old fashion super club. Will be back and need to try the Saturday Prime Rib soon.

    One & done. I'm expecting busy-it's Friday fish fry. You guys are not new to this game though! I…read morewas so excited before getting here as we were celebrating my friend's 9-11 birthday. Got there 40 mins after it opened and was Told 35 min wait. Ok-no biggie. An hour & 5 mins later-yeah-bad judgement/we were seated. Dining room small & tight quarters. Waitress could have cared less and barked what do u want to drink. Still don't know what her name was. Looked like she just ran a marathon with a caked up make-up face. Ok-it's busy. I get that. Very rude! Next-we ordered. 2 had ayce and 2 had 2 piece dinner. U can't split checks and states they have dual pricing-still don't know what that is. U can't ask questions. PLEASE don't waste your time with ayce because they need your table-u won't get a refill. For $15-get the 2 piece. Fried fish was over cooked. Tartar was like pure garlic. U get one baby plate of dry bread (1/2 piece per person) and oil based coleslaw-and u do not get more. Every person gets about 1 tbsp of coleslaw & tartar. Asked for more tartar and it was the end of the world. Chicken was dry! Fries were fries. Soda does not have a refill. They were taking our plates and placemats off the table before we were done. No talking at the table pretty much! Credit sales have 3% charge. We paid cash. Change was left and she walked away. but not a word of thank you-hope u enjoyed-have a great night-come again-NOTHING. It's easy to be simple & detail oriented. This place lacks both. Spend your $ elsewhere. U look over a green algae pond. It has potential. But then again-you don't have time to take your eyes off your plate. Gotta hurry up! No thanks.
