Doc Pierce's Restaurant

Good food and pleasant service.  Locally owned.

The atmosphere is kind of dark and the building is kind of old.  But the food, menu and service are pretty good.  The Steak & Shrimp was very tasty.  The ambiance is pleasant and relaxed.

It's a nice place to go for full service dining without a big price tag.  The upper loft floor is great for private parties and big groups.

Historic, charming restaurant in downtown Mishawaka serving American standards with a focus on steaks and some fish dishes. The closest I can come to comparing this place is to a more local-flavored and rustic version of O'Charley's.

The service for our large (30+ people) was good -- better than I was expecting considering our size.

The standouts: side salads were fresh, huge, and had delicious homemade croutons.

The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were massive and fresh!

The steaks were all the right temps for those of us who ordered them. I believe they are USDA grade or something like that -- good but not great cuts. My 6 oz steak was around 10 bucks -- a decent price IMO.

Sides of mushrooms, baked potatoes, and onion rings were popular among our large party and got good marks.

Last, the steak salad was excellent! I wish Doc's had salads made of romaine and/or spinach on the menu, but they don't.

I don't think the food quality here is AMAZING, but the food is certainly fresh, well-cooked, and definitely solid comfort food. Just what our party needed.

The environment is really cool. Dark, casual, unique.
The service is just ok.
The burger I had, had little to no flavor and  the taste it did have was a bit strange.
My wife's salad had a small bug in it.
Not what it used to be.
