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.
I was so excited as I drove by and saw Doolittles. The only one I knew it was an Alexandra Minnesota and it had closed. I was so excited to come in and eat delicious food that I had in the past in the another area that Closed. The staff is wonderful and kind. The food tasted great. I love their rotisserie chicken even though I did not have any. I remember from the other place. It is amazing. I decided to get a hamburger and two drinks. It was very delicious and I cannot wait to come back again!!!
Oh my holy chicken! The rotisserie chicken... one of the best chickens I have ever had. It was just awesome. I'm usually a rib guy, so I ordered the chicken rib combo... I wish I took all chicken! Don't get me wrong, the ribs were good, but the chicken was amazing!
I went to Doolittles for lunch with friends. What a pleasant surprise. The food was great (pick two, wild rice soup and turkey ciabatta sandwich) and reasonably priced. The service was fantastic; attentive and helpful. I will come back soon for dinner/lunch. Highly recommend.
Had a great experience. The food was wonderful, they served quickly and were very nice. We arrived around 6pm and there were not a lot of people. Thirty minutes after that and the restaurant was packed. Dessert was delicious as well.
WOW! Top notch service!!! Our steak came out medium well when we ordered medium rare. Ashton noticed immediately before I even mentioned it and quickly was willing to have it re-made. The manager came out and served us our new steak which was cooked right. Ashton also offered to give us complementary dessert because the entrees took a while to come out. This was an extremely thoughtful gesture, and won us over. This set apart this place from others. The wings here are always delicious. The mudslide pie recommended by our waiter was also delightful. We will definitely be back!
Earlier in the day my husband and I were across the street and could smell this delicious Smokey meat scent. I looked around and saw Doolittles. It was our 37th anniversary and so we decided to go there for dinner that evening. I’m SO glad we did! The smoked chicken is the best I’ve ever tasted. It was not dry at all and the flavor was melt in your mouth good. The crusted Walleye was also excellent. I seldom eat fried food because it’s often so greasy. That was not the case with this meal! It wasn’t greasy at all. The fish was tender, flaky and moist, just perfect. Along with my meal I enjoyed their Buttered Blueberry Old Fashioned. This drink has a lovely unique flavor. For dessert we chose their carrot cake. You do not want to miss out on this wonderful nut free dessert. Oh! And their patio is very nice to enjoy a meal on lovely days.
10/10 no complaints at all and will be back. Food and drinks were very good. Service was great loved our waitress Cheyenne greeted us with smiles the whole time and was very attentive to us
Nice restaurant for business meeting. A little on the noisy side but we were able to hold a productive conversation. Service was good from seating (via reservation online) to our server at the table. Food was very good with plenty of lunch special options. Definitely recommend this place.
What a fantastic experience! The service was top-notch and the menu offered a wonderful variety. There's truly something to please every palate. We relished each of our dishes. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the Brussels sprouts were delightful. The chicken and ribs were outstanding as well. I must say, those ribs were among the best I've had in years—meaty and incredibly tender. We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant!
