Many
times I have passed through the little city of Door, Michigan and
always wanted to visit the Colonial Kitchen. It is a small
restaurant in the downtown area that seems to be a gathering place
for local families. There are perhaps twenty tables and a
comfortable atmosphere. Adorned with metal signs, vintage
memorabilia, and country themes, the restaurant seem more fitting for
George Jones than George Washington.
The
pricing is moderate and the staff friendly. I stopped by for the
fish fry on Friday. The
interior is quite roomy and wide open. I thought my fish was
excellent. They batter their own fish, fry up a platter of those
crispy morsels, and dish it out to waiting guests around the room.
It goes from fryer to table in no time. All-you-can-eat shrimp is on
Wednesdays. Service was quick and friendly.
It's
a popular restaurant with the camp crowd in the summer. I could
envision farmers shooting the breeze at 6 AM with their cups of
coffee. Overall, it gives me more of a sense of community than many
metropolitan restaurants.
