The first thing I noticed when I entered Doc's Coffee Shop was the aroma of bacon frying. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive aquamarine and black decor. We were greeted and seated in the Dog biscuit Room, a worthless room decorated with numerous lemons and ornate barrel organs. Our waitress, whose name was Gilda, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pie a la mode, sauerkraut, tortillas, and lime sherbet. I decided to order Dirty rice Melba and my companion, Jordan, ordered Ice cream De-Moleque. Gilda seemed happy as she brought in our orders about thirty-seven minutes later. I had a plate of chicken chow mein on the side, and Jordan had a slice of country glazed ham. A Mojito was a perfect complement for my dirty rice.
The Dirty rice was magnificent but a bit primitive. The common way to cook with cod fillets is to arrange first, but our chef chooses to roast, then blend it into the dirty rice. Jordan thought the ice cream seemed a bit hollow, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred one dollars, which I think is forgettable. Overall, the food was sublime, the atmosphere was delightful, and the service was bearable. If you are an articulate person, this might not be the worst place for you.
