Such a cozy spot for dinner date night! We started with the Caesar salad. I personally thought it was really good, although my fiancé felt like the dressing was a little heavy and overpowered the salad a bit. We both agreed the croutons were amazing though and definitely one of the best parts. For entrees, I ordered the bacon cheddar burger and loved it. The aioli added so much flavor, and the fries were great -- the seasoning on them made them extra addicting. My fiancé got the prime rib French dip and could not stop talking about how good it was. Overall, it is a little pricier compared to some other places for a cheeseburger and fries, but the food, atmosphere, and cozy vibe definitely make it a great date night spot! read more

Went yesterday for lunch and wasn't impressed. The walleye sandwich lunch special is nothing special. The coleslaw is standard sweet stuff. Not my fave. Husbo's salad was sugary. Eek! We hate to waste food, but he did not take the leftovers. Our server was perfect and the atmosphere was festive, but you go out to eat for the food... We won't be back. Gordon Ramsey needs to help them tweak the menu. ;) read more

I'd like to reinforce my last review. Doolittles is a reliable restaurant that I can always count on for good food and good service. Last night was another clear example of this. I went with my always reliable rotisserie chicken and it was juicy and flavorful, as usual. The garlic mashed potatoes could have been a bit warmer, but were tasty. My wife had one of her favorites, a seasonal squash soup that she loves, when available. Also, Doolittles always excels when it comes to service. It's the little things that count -- a welcome that sounds genuine, the willingness to check on a special request, refilling a glass of pop before being asked, bringing out fresh, hot, just cooked bread (a rarity these days), checking in to see how things are going, bringing the check promptly, and offering to pack up leftovers, as opposed to just bringing over a container. Doolittles interior is inviting, cozy, and warm. Based on their overall constancy, in terms of food quality and service, I am increasing my stars from four to five. Thanks, Doolittles. read more

We sat out on the patio on this most beautiful Saturday afternoon. I tried the bahn mi sandwich off the menu. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. Everything about it was delicious. Definitely having again, better than a hamburger any day. The Thai chicken meatballs really amped up the dish. read more

Stopped in there today. I like the look. Bathrooms were clean. We got sat pretty quickly. Our server was polite and prompt. I had the blueberry mojito, probably the best I have ever had. My fiance had some white wine, very good. The calamari was great. I had the top sirloin with mash potatoes and green beans. My fiance had the salmon with fingerling potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The food was good. However, it was closer to cold then it was hot. We noticed when we were done that people were been served bread. That wasn't offered to us. We will probably go back though. read more

First off this is the cutest little place where you can sit outside and dine on the patio under a stream of adorable lights or you can sit inside at one of their oversized booths or at the bar. We opted for a booth and immediately was greeted by our server Mike. Mike was absolutely fantastic! He promptly got our drink and food order. Never missed a second with a refill, asked us a few times how everything was and if we needed anything else. He was quick, knowledgeable with the menu, and never kept us waiting for anything! He was an excellent server and I hope if you come here you get to experience the magic like we did! The food is absolutely fantastic as well! I don't think anything is bad here! Go - now! And ask for Mike! read more

It's been a while since we've been here, but I'm glad we came back! A newly updated menu added in a few nice choices. The food was quick, hot, and very tasty! We started with a house salad (not what we expected, but a good choice) and tried the Cubana sandwich with seasoned fries, and a Sam's bowl with roasted chicken. Everyone was happy with their choices. Service was friendly and attentive, helping point out the menu changes. Very laid back atmosphere with the requisite wood fire, light music, and comfortable seating. Parking is always easy. If you haven't tried it, definitely put it on your list. read more

The Rotisserie/roasted chicken here is pretty great- it's juicy, tender and flavorful, maybe just a bit more salt/seasoning would make it even better for me. Overall, I enjoyed most of my food but for the price and flavors- it didn't feel satisfying or anything special. The service was nice though- friendly and thoughtful as they brought out warm towels for you to clean your hands, which I appreciated. I recommend the following: Walleye fritters or chicken wings apps the roasted or bbq chicken entrees I would skip: The pasta dishes Dessert There is a free parking lot with plenty of parking when we went on Friday night. Reservations are recommended which you can do online or call. read more

Shout out to Katie she is amazing and made our experience that much better! We stopped in Saturday afternoon, the restaurant wasn't busy and we got seated right away. We got started with the buffalo wings. They were delicious and perfectly cooked, however they were sweet and spicy not buffalo spicy. I didn't like the butternut squash soup, but I loved the scallops with piquillo cream and the blueberry mojitos. My husband and I agreed they were sweet and strong! The restaurant is clean, very spacious, dimly lit, and has a wonderful ambiance with a large parking lot out front. read more

Roasted pear and chicken salad is a must try! Pairs well with the Chardonnay! Outstanding!

Our group of 8 celebrated my sister In law's birthday here for lunch. Our server was amazing and attentive! I had the Some Bacon Jam Burger topped with smoked gouda cheese and lettuce served with fries. Our server asked if I wanted pink or no pink, and I said pink. Not only was it not pink, but the apple bacon jam was way too sweet for a good burger. I would not order this again. Others had the half sandwich and salad lunch special or bbq ribs. All said were good but nothing special. I like the ambiance and low noise levels at Doolittles and used to be one of our go to restaurants, but the quality and high prices are not as good a value as we had expected from past experiences. read more

Good food, friendly staff. A little over priced for the food but definitely a good place to eat if you're looking for a night out.

I ordered takeout from Doolittle's, the grilled salmon with cream dish. The food was excellent and ready on time following an online order. However, although I had ordered a side salad alongside my entrée, I did not receive one. Upon notifying that I did not receive the salad, I did receive a credit for it. My salmon entrée was very tasty with nicely, roasted potatoes, and brussels sprouts. The salmon was perfectly grilled, crispy on the outside and moist in the center. read more

Dinner after a long day at work should be great not just mediocre! There were three of us and we ordered drinks first-they were delish and came out very promptly. We then ordered our meals and all of us ordered a starter salad. I'll say, for me, that was the best part of the meal. For my meal, I ordered the ribs and chicken combo. We were not asked if we wanted dark or white meat and it also was not stated on the menu. It came out with 1/4 of a chicken and it was dark. The ribs had a great smoky flavor, but there was so much fat time on the ribs and they were very chewy. I would not order them again. The sides were decent. Our wait staff was awesome and he did a great job. I know there are some great meals there, unfortunately I didn't get one of them. read more

So I tried it.. Today my company had a team outing, and one of those things resulted in us eating together. Let me tell you about. Headed over to Dolittles, which seems to be a staple in the Eagan/Golden Valley Areas. For our outing we patronized the Golden Valley location. Parking.. seemed a bit tight. Around the the 1 o'clock hour they had many who came eager to eat. In the restaurant ranged from a single person at the bar to parties of more than 10. We arrived a little early but the hosted was swift regarding finding accommodations. Seating seemed enough but maybe in some spaces tight. Our group was large so we moved from the waiting area to the bar. It may not have been the best idea, but it worked while we waited. At the bar we with greeted with specialty drinks like most places as well as a lengthy list of wines. Finally seated, we wasted no time getting to the appetizers. I wished I could have grabbed a picture of the Woodfire Buffalo Wings & the Parmesan Artichoke Dip. They were so good that we quickly indulged. The apps alone get 9/10! Entree. I opted for the Salmon with Herb Cream. I also changed my fingerling potatoes to mash to really enjoy the herb cream. The salmon was definitely delicious. In my own opinion a spice kick or a added kick to the herb cream sauce would really elevate the dish. When you tasted the cream it was slightly bland. I used salt and pepper to add a little flavor. The mash was standard. I would indeed add something that would give a pop the overall dish. Overall I found this eatery interesting and definitely work going back to try again. Rating: 7/10 overall Recommend: I would definitely go back again. #Thetravoodie #blacktraveler #prayeattravel #travelingpumas #mylifeisaflight #travelblogger #travellife #solotraveler #blackwomentravel #findmeflying #blackgirlswhoblogs #blacktravel #internationaltraveler #whereintheworldisJai #travelattractions #worldtraveler #blackcontentcreator #blacktravelfeed ** Like, Share, & Follow Me @thetravoodie on IG, FB & TikTok DM or Email for Collab #TheTravoodieLife read more

I love Doolittles! It is the perfect place for a date night or a fun night out with friends. There is a little bit of something for everyone! The star of the show is the rotisserie chicken for sure. I always try to order something with the chicken in it because it is so flavorful. This time around I got a pear salad with the rotisserie chicken. I loved the combination of sweet and salty from the candies nuts, cheese, and fruit. The service is always quick and easy! The staff are so nice and very knowledgeable about the menu. Lots of parking so it's always easy to find a spot in the attached lot! read more

Came to Doolittles for a double date/get together with some friends. I love it here because it feels super homey, has a comforting menu, plus a big variety! I was able to easily get a reservation for dinner on a Friday night, however the place was pretty full. Luckily the space is large, but it can get a tad loud. Our waitress was very nice and quick, we had no issues getting food and drink, and even having some down time talking after our meal at the table. For dinner, I ordered the BBQ Chicken Salad. This was delicious! The portion was very large, so it worked well as a full dinner meal. I loved that the chicken included was rotisserie chicken too. Everyone at our table loved our meals, and the price is right for a large portion of quality food. Definitely recommend coming here, and stopping by Patina next-door before or after your meal! read more

Recently visited Doolittes for the first time for a work lunch and ordered the pear and chicken salad. The salad was very large and had lots of toppings, which I love! Everything tasted super fresh. Definitely order something with chicken when you're here, they make their rotisserie chickens fresh in house! Service was super quick and they easily accommodated our large (16 person) group with separate checks and bread baskets for the table. read more

I know a thing or two about tasty bbq and smoked meat so to know dw grill is here helps a lot when I crave a tasty meat, falling off the bones bbq experience. I'm alway happy ordering their bbq chicken, ribs, spicy chicken pasta and their southwest salad hits all the spots! I'm not even into salads and I love their salad lol. It's great for intimate gatherings/family/friends. You could also do a solo meal by the bar if you'd like. I've also ordered couple of times too and the food is still tasty. The servers are attentive and friendly even the welcome staff! You can actually see the chicken being roasted. I wished they had better dessert options though read more

I love the vibe at doolottles. It's very relaxed but still has an upscale type of feel. My friend ordered a raspberry lemonade it was okay, nothing super exciting. The server was nice and warned us it's more on the tart side rather than sweet. I love seeing the wildfire going and the rotisserie chickens spinning in the window . Everything sounded amazing! I ended up settling on the rotisserie chicken sandwich and it was delicious. I added Buffalo sauce on the side which was great to dip in and came with delicious mashed potatoes!! My friend got the steak which I forget to take a pic of but it had chimmichurri and purple potatoes on the side. She really enjoyed it too and the salmon looked incredible!! Thanks for a great meal!! read more

We went to Doolittles on a Friday night before heading to the movies. Upon entry the hostess team were friendly and hospitable. We didnt have a reservation and there was ample seating indoors or outdoors to accomodate us. We opted for inside right next to a view of the outdoor patio in a large booth. Alexis was our server and she took good care of us. After scanning the menu we decided to order the large Chicken wild rice soup and some drinks. The complimentary bread and butter definitely filled us up in no time. I enjoyed my virgin rasberry flavored mojito as it was refreshing. See you around Doolittles! read more

A neighborhood treat, we go there often. Today was an exception, and it left me a bit - idk - reluctant. I typically order the Mesa Bowl. I love it. Today I ordered with chicken, over the lunch hour (although not terribly busy) and it was tough to get the server to come 'round, and the dish was served with the vast majority of content being hard Kale, and the chicken was a few pieces of dark meat with cartilage, and stringy things, and it was gross. Zero breast meat. I pushed aside the scant chicken, and vast kale, and was left with little else. Not a single Biquinho or anything else at all. Very little corn/black beans. I left hungry. read more

Service was good, however extremely disappointed in the Flying Tiger Chicken & Peapods entree. This dish was always a favorite of mine, however they changed how it was made. It used to be flavorful with the peanut sauce, the peapods had peas in them, the wontons were larger pieces, and the proportion was double of what is now being served. The proportion however is not the big issue with this review. The order that we received was "very" greasy, with hardly any thai peanut sauce flavoring, which made the dish very bland. The peapods virtually had no peas in them, and the wontons were only tiny bits and pieces, like out of the bottom of crushed up bag of chips. We are probably not going to drive out of the way to go back to this location for this dish again. read more

Doolittles makes a lot of effort to try to feel a bit more high-end than it might be. Service and food were very prompt. When it came to the food, things were a bit of a letdown. The rotisserie chicken, which is one of their more favored dishes, was a bit dry and lacking in flavor overall. There definitely seemed to be room for an improvement in the seasonings used to improve the flavor profile. You could definitely stand to do worse, but don't come expecting a high-end meal even if the ambiance gives that appearance. read more

Go-to neighborhood spot for cocktails and dessert, and the entrees are great as well. The wood-fired chicken is a must, and there are so many great options from pasta to salads and sandwiches.

Burgers are great, chicken is great, ribs are great, Orange Cheese cake is wonderful. Ribeye Steak not so wonderful. Gristly thought out I ordered med-well, and came well done, with burnt Fat edges, broccoli was over cooked and woody and with little florets and charred. Our server was very pleasant & attentive. Ambiance is nothing special; I had full view of a person doing detailed cleaning of the chicken rotisserie though out my meal. What a chore that is! We chose this place to dine maybe every 3-4 months it is very close to my Son's home, we have always had good service, next time only burgers, chicken or ribs for us! Never steak again!

Came to Doolittles for a late bite, and was happy to discover they had a late night happy hour with half-off appetizers. Ordered the beef tenderloin crostini, tuna poke, and walleye fingers. All were prepared well and fresh, and the crostini and poke had great flavors. The walleye fingers were completely bland, though, even with lemon, salt, and tartar sauce. The server was super nice about it though and took care of it. We will be back to try the other apps another night! read more
