went here for Easter dinner, Cole was our server and recommended great things. very kind guy. I ordered the 10 oz steak, was delicious. my boyfriend got the parmesan crusted walleye and it's always a great dish. I also recommend the walleye fingers as an appetizer. mmmmm. :)
We have eaten at Doolittles on numerous occasions. I have yet to have bad service or food. The salmon is wonderful and the half chicken is juicy and sooooo good. We recommend doolittles to everyone.
On our trip to Fargo we read some reviews and decided to try, did not disapoint. Walked right in on a Thursday afternoon and were seated immediately. We had a view of the open rotisserie which was cool to see. Service very good, food was delicious, easy access in and out, clean bathrooms. Cozy atmosphere.
Just got done eating at this restaurant and it was well worth it. Food was delicious and service was as expected. Will definitely be back to try other meals.
Vibe:
The general vibe is a modern and upscale dining establishment. The general ambiance is mid-century modern aviation with a warm and rustic feel. Altogether the room has a cozier feel filled with yellowish-brown and gold. There is ample wood throughout the building, and the rustic fireplace is the centerpiece of the main entryway.
Meal:
Walleye Fingers:
An exciting local take on fish sticks. They are breaded and deep-fried strips of walleye. The color is slightly darker than gold and brown and a rich, crispy textures, with the breading evenly proportioned. Where this dish falls flat is the flavor, the seasoning lacks sufficient Salt to bring it over the edge. Without the tartar sauce, it is rather bland. I’ll be at the walleye is cooked well. The tartar sauce is not made in-house. However, it seems to be of a store variety. My recommendation is to give it a try and see if you enjoy it. In the future, I will probably pass on this.
Ribeye Steak:
The dish is a 12-ounce boneless ribeye served with roasted red potatoes and baby carrots. The steak was well-marbled, and you could taste the age. It had a fantastic flavor; you could tell it was grass-fed beef, and it was cooked to perfection just at medium rare, evenly cooked throughout, and was a great temperature overall. However, just as before, the steak is missing salt. If it were not for the rich beefy flavors, the lack of salt would be very apparent. The real stand out of this dish is the baby carrots. Honestly, some of the best I think I’ve ever had. The texture and quality were sublime, and the flavor of the carrots pulls through. Traditionally most people overcook the carrots; however, these were a perfect firmness throughout. The baby potatoes, on the other hand, were lackluster in their presentation as well as their flavor overall. This is maybe the only thing I’ve had this evening that was over-salted. Almost as if all of the salt from the other dishes found its way into the potatoes.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Wow, you must order this dessert. It is served with a pineapple glaze and is the perfect size for a post-dinner treat. It is served warm and has a home-like feel to it, reminding me of grandma‘s house. The flavor is exquisite, and the texture is rich without being overpowering, and the cake has a nice spongy, light texture. I would highly recommend that you order this dessert after dinner or by itself.
Service:
Jordan was present and knowledgeable about the menu offerings, the various regional specialties, and the menu's highlights. Throughout dinner, her service was exceptional. She was polite, courteous, and attentive. I would highly recommend her.
The manager was present throughout dinner and seemed to be engaged with customers.
Overall:
I would recommend that you visit this establishment. The service and ambiance (vibe) are warm and inviting. The staff is pleasant and courteous. For this, I would recommend that you come and experience it. The only thing I could wish for more of was salt. The blandness of the appetizer and main entrée is the only reason it is not five stars.
While on a recent visit to Fargo ND, it was recommended that we visit Doolittles. We weren't disappointed. They make just about everything over their woodfire grill. The wings were a real treat. An almost jerk like seasoning. Very crispy and served hot off the grill. A must try if you visit. Nice beer selection too. I tried 3 different locals, very nice indeed. My kids shared chips and guacamole, very authentic and delicious. My wifes house salad looked beautiful, and my daughter had a nice Caesar with toasted french bread.
2 ribeye steaks and a basil chicken wrap for the kids, and a ribs and chicken combo for me. My wife had the filet of beef tenderloin. We had our fill, so dessert wasn't needed. Very friendly staff.
Cheers
Very pleasant and super clean environment. The atmosphere is subtle and allows you room for conversation and great dining.
This place always has great food. Never an issue. Only area of improvement is with how long it took to get the food. Ordered at approximately 130 pm and it took about 30 minutes to get the food. It was not busy at all. Most of the staff were standing around talking or on their phones. I can't blame them, it was that dead. I recommend this place to all I will return for more great food.
