First off I must admit I don't frequent Doc's On 23 all that often. I moved to the Askov area from the lower St Croix Valley near Stillwater in 2020. I don't know a sole up here and walked into Doc's to grab a burger and watch the Vikings game because my streaming was not connected yet. I was treated kindly by the wait staff as I requested a table instead of bellying up to the bar. All of the other patrons were seated around the bar and I believe they knew each other. The noise level from that side of the room was a bit loud for my liking, but I'm well aware of why it increases as the evening rolls on. Sitting on the table side of the room was the right call. I had a big screen television to myself and I felt right at home. The waitress was very kind despite the fact I was the only customer seated at the tables. As I stated earlier: I was looking for a burger. Well, its been a long time now since January 2020 and I know my "go to" is a Mushroom and Swiss if on the menu. I was accommodated I'm sure and I know I substituted the fries for the Onion Rings at additional cost. I don't recall the burger, the Onion Rings were memorable! They were made from huge thick slices of onion dipped in batter then deep-fried. They are well worth the price to substitute!! This may seem kind of anal but the first thing I look at is the color of my deep-fried food. If it is dark when served chances are it will be overcooked, either that or the oil in the firers is old and needs changing. My order was almost perfect! I say almost because nothing in life is perfect, close but not perfect. Now five years later, I am a customer that has returned on occasion or stops in with a friend for a meal as they may be passing through our area. Lately, I crave Doc's "Garbage Pizza" most often. Its certainly a well kept secret! I was injured and currently have some mobility issues as I recover. That said, when I call in my pizza order I ask if the waitstaff bring bring out my order curbside for me. For under $20 my order is covered including tax and tip to the kind person walking my to go order out to me. Be kind to your servers! You'd have to walk a mile in their shoes to understand why. Do I recommend Doc's on 23? You have to experience it for yourself. I crave the "Onion Rings." Always! read more
