Doc's
Blue Moose |
|
On a recent midday outing,
two weary travelers landed at |
|
|
|
Immediately
upon entering, one notices the walls adorned with both vintage and recent
shots of local athletic teams. Oh yeah…and the huge moose hovering above the
server’s station on the west wall of this long eatery. The
ceiling is old-school; great-looking quilted metal sheets painted white.
Seating options range from booths to bar stools – a nice option to get up
front and personal. The
grill area is open and inviting. Its sparkling stainless steal east wall is
appealing, as well as enviable, to any seasoned home chef! Spring
Grove pop flavors are available, as well as many other sweet choices of soda
syrups. These confectionary liquids are visually stunning; lined up in
formation and standing ready for action within their art-studio-inspired
bottles. Pineapple, blueberry and bubble gum – oh my! All
this and we have yet to tell of the menu and ice cream delights. This
day-tripper ordered a garden burger (meatless) and my traveling companion was
thrilled to see her favorite dish – Caesar salad. Both items were built to perfection and
presented with artist flare. Trish,
our server (who also wears the Manager chapeau), greeted us warmly upon entry
and was just the right amount of attentive. Not excessive, not neglectful.
Perfect. We pondered dessert with Trish at our side. We admitted our
chocolate-loyalty and had to turn down her suggestion of a caramel apple
sundae. In a flash, she said… I
have yet to try their espresso or other coffees. Personally, I am dying too,
but I was so full upon exit, it would have been a waste of good java. My
accomplice prefers straight-up We
will be return customers and find Doc’s to be worthy of gift certificates to
many on our list this holiday season. Also for sale are t-shirts, Frisbees
and travel coffee mugs. Reasonably-priced. Devilishly-good. Hometown-proud.
Buy-local evident. A+. |
