The food is very good and you get lots of it. However, the service is lacking. I ate there twice in 24 hours. The service in the first evening was poor. Very slow to even bring the check. The service around noon the next day was okay. We did get refills on the drinks which was nice, but have definitely got better service elsewhere. Atmosphere is consistent with a typical small town restaurant. Overall, I recommend this place but please don't expect too much in the way of service.

Don't go here. Food took almost an hour and there were only a handful of tables. They had excuses, but didn't have any ideas on how to handle the situation (if you brought out an appetizer you could have avoided this review). Food was decent when it arrived, but I can't imagine waiting, and other tables had long waits too. We ate on the patio, unfortunately smoking is allowed and inside customers kept coming outside. Staff was smoking there too, while working. Wine is the little Barefoot bottles, barely drinkable. Offensive signs outside, I guess they think it's funny, but don't take your kids here. We had called another restaurant as we were driving and asked if they had a wait; were told food was taking a half hour. This town must accept terrible service.

The food was great! Bartender was not very friendly.. Made me sad, I wanted to have a great experience for my memories of the town.

I came in for company lunch as they recommended the burgers. Becky was my server and she was great! Had the endless ribs they were tender and fell off the bone. Simply good service and good food

Waited for a little over an Hour for food. There was one other table of party of 3 and 4 other people at the bar. We had to cough excessively to get any attention. Food came out wrong. Our bartender/waiter gal checked on us one. She told another person in my party to wait when we went to pay our bill and we waited for another 30 minutes.The other table we had got top tier service, they got asked how their food was and everything else. 10/10 wouldn’t recommend.

Staff is nice, margaritas are delicious. It would be better if they offered gluten free buns and pizza crust.
Pizza was really delicious 😋 wanted to go to another different restaurant. The salad bar was good and very fresh.had a nice dinner.

I've been Doc's a few times, and out of a bar in Polk county it's pretty surprising on how good the food is, but being balsam lake I'd expect just a tad bit better. When I go to Docs I typically order pizza, but it's not just any pizza it's good pizza which lets face it no bar in the area minus Club 35 serves good pizza, it's all just frozen thin crust non-sense, but I really haven't had a complaint for any time I've been to Doc's.

Love this place has great food. Watch out though on Friday & Saturday breakfast only all the way until 1:00 p.m.. This was a big bummer. I was craving a mushroom & swiss burger on a yummy bun. We were not happy about this.

Breakfast is always good. But the bartender sat night was definitely the most rude lady ever. I definitely wouldn't go here in the evening. I know I am not the only one due to the fact they said the same thing at other bars. If the reality and talk around town are the same maybe get a different bartender nights.
