    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.

Real candles, classic blues and jazz music, plus lots of antique flair oozing historic vibes. A retro phone booth for the server station: nice! Next, service: Brooke is the server who now sets the standard in my mind for her excellent tableside manner! She was on the ball and then some, with a fun personality and friendly demeanor, making sure we enjoyed our night out. I loved the menus, both food and drinks. I tried a Citrine martini and it was ice cold with fresh lemon -- yum. My dining companion had a seasonal tap brew and the perch fish fry; he ate every bite! I had to try the shrimp and grits. 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!

Started out with the jumbo shrimp cocktail. Very fresh, and the cocktail sauce was tangy with a citrus undertone. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, and the glaze only added to them. Plenty of beautiful side dishes, omelet station, and other tasty dishes, complimented them! Bottomless mimosas on the house! If you had room, which I didn't, the pastry assortment was outstanding. The staff were very cordial and accommodating.

But we weren't in a hurry. My friend had the Denver omelette which she enjoyed. I had the steak and eggs. While the steak was cooked to order, there was a lot of grizzle, so probably more than half of it didn't get eaten. Not sure it was worth the $23. On the upside, the hashbrowns were absolutely perfect! Portions were generous and it's a cute little place. It was quiet with enough parking. I wouldn't order the steak again or make a special trip for Cafe 36, but if you happen to be in the area, it's a decent place for breakfast. FYI: the menu prices are cash, for credit card payments there's a 3.5% up charge. The only mention of this is via a sign at the cash register. Also, alcoholic beverages were on the menu, but not available because they didn't renew their liquor license.

It was about 12:30 in the afternoon and I ordered the calamari appetizer, fillet and scallops with baked potato and steamed broccoli. My husband ordered onion rings for his appetizer, a small cheese and sausage pizza (he tries the pizza everywhere he goes) and a gyro sandwich. I honestly can't remember ever having a meal where every thing I ordered was prepared absolutely perfect and tasted amazing!! The Calamari was tender and delicious served with marinara and Parmesan, the onion rings were big, thick and delicious! The salad that came with our meal was not average by any means. It had tomato, cucumber and croutons, and not just one piece of each either! And the honey mustard dressing was really really good. I ordered my steak rare and it was very tender, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious! The scallops melted in my mouth, again cooked perfectly. Oh, and the baked potato! I don't know why it was so good but it was perfectly cooked, tasted fresh and wasn't sitting in an oven too long making the skin hard. It was fluffy, buttery and probably the best baked potato I've ever had! I almost liked it better than the steak! The broccoli was steamed perfectly, bright green and crisp tender. My husband loved his pizza, it had a good amount of cheese and sausage on it, and the crust was nice and thin and crispy. He said the gyro was just average. We wanted to sit in a little more private area at the booth in the corner facing the lake, but it was taken when we got there. They were kind enough to let us move there after the people that were sitting there left. All in all it was a very good experience and we felt like were treated as if we were regulars. Our server was fabulous and everybody there was very attentive! We will be regulars from here on in! ;-) BRAVO!!!!
