I'm an Episcopal priest. On my home answering machine, in addition to giving the number for the church, says "and if this is a pastoral emergency, call me on my cell phone. Well, one day my sister and nephew called me on the cell phone. They said they had a pastoral emergency...the Doo Drop Inn had closed! Neither my sister nor I live in Muskegon any more and the Doo Drop was the first and last place we wanted to go every time we were home. No where in the country is there comparable perch and onion rings! We wonder why no one bought the restaurant and the recipes or just the recipes to serve elsewhere? It was a sad day when the Doo Drop closed. Funny story Funny story to share. I’m an Episcopal priest.

Love the perch, onion rings, coleslaw and garlic toast. So sad when they closed. Would love the recipe for onion rings, coleslaw and their garlic toast.

On weekends when my grandma would babysit me she would take me to dinner there and also get to see my mom and her co-workers. I also remember asking to sit by the seahorse plexi-glass. When it came to my favorite dinner it was the wing ding basket, the perch came later as an adult. Through the years I grew to like the homemade Bleu Cheese dressing. My mom had made this dressing there and can't seem to remember the recipe.If there is anyone that knows the recipe and is willing to share it I would greatly appreciate it.( 35 years later) Thank -You for the memories also!

Sometimes, my parents would take us. I always wanted to sit next to the plexi-glass seahorse and plant window things. What I would give to see one of those again! My fondest memories are of waiting in the entrance lobby for my parents to finish. My sister and I would pretend we were adults and play with the cigarette machine and the star scroll dispenser; going up and down the red carpeted steps and sliding down the handrail. Folks always seemed to get a kick out of us as they would enter and leave (we were always very polite). Sometimes my dad would give me the quarter or fifty cents to get a star scroll horoscope. My dad was always fond of the liver and onions. I loved the onion rings and popcorn shrimp. I wish I could go back one more time!

My parents took me there when I was a little boy for PERCH. I just turned fifty (50) . When my Dad passed one morning in a Muskegon Hospital, my bothers and when there in memory of Dad and had the platters of Perch ..........Its what he would have wanted us to do. Shortly after that we hear of Doo Drop closing and I drove 3 hours to take my mom for one final dinner with our remaining family. It was a great place with great people..... Now on to my question, Does anyone know how the perch was deep fried. I can't find any breading that duplicates the great flavor. HELP! Thank you for some of the Great Memories of Doo Drop Inn.
