Dolli's is great! I went there and had breakfast with a work associate, and the service and food could not have been any better! 3 Omelette (Bacon, cheddar cheese, spinach& Mushroom) was perfect! It came with potatoes and a biscuit . The Trucker had 3 meats (Bacon, Sausage & Ham) along with eggs, potatoes and toast. I'm not sure you would go wrong ordering anything here, it all looks good. It's not often I get a chance to visit Nacogdoches, Texas but when I do, I will certainly go back to Dolli's. Check out the pictures/Paintings on the wall! Very colorful and makes the place! When in Nac, go to Dolli's. Go get Full

The food was delicious. I got the create your own omelette with extra cheese and bacon. I will say, though if I were to go here again, I probably would get a different type of cheese rather than American. Also, I might just get the French toast. I tried it from my mom's sandwich, which was some sort of French toast sandwich with egg and ham in between and I have to say the French toast is pretty good. The waiters were kind and the whole restaurant just felt very nostalgic feeling, sort of like a 50s café.

This is a local place in downtown Nacogdoches. Wonderful food and great service. Many options on pancakes and eggs.

We are from out of town and saw Dollis Diner on Yelp. I thought we would give jt a try. I'm glad we did. It's our 3rd time coming here, and we are looking forward to coming more before we leave. The food is great, and the price is reasonable, and their specials are great. The service is super, very friendly and on top on our orders and anything we needed. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Cobb salad ($10)

I have been in the area on bidness a good bit and this is the first recommendation I received from a local that I actually wanted to check out since it was not a fast casual chain closer to the college that was going to be mobbed with college students trying to get a quick bite between games of Beirut or whatever college students do these days. It is next door to City Hall and the firehouse, in ye olde town square. There is a lot of free parking nearby, but since this passes for the high density city centre other people are also coming here, not just you. The first time I attempted to do lunch here there was no parking available among all of that free parking and I even circled the blocks for a while until I finally just went back to the hotel and tried another day. So another day I came back and there was parking available. If at first you don't succeed ... When I first walked in I liked that they had appropriate signage in front that you needed to wait to be seated. Without appropriate signage it is just anarchy. As I was getting seated I saw trash all over the floor underneath some tables along the left wall and those tables looked dirty. When I got seated in the center aisle, my table was a bit sticky, but at least not covered in trash up above or down below. So I suppose that is some of the charm of this joint, if not also the Betty Boop tchotchkes everywhere. The server was a pleasant, attentive young man. I waited what seemed a good long while for my salad. The Cobb salad at $10 was fairly priced with reasonably fresh ingredients. The chicken was bland but it is a salad that you have ordered from a diner with a sticky tabletop so everything about the ambiance and the numerous Betty Books glaring at you should tell you that most people do not mosey on in here and order a salad, everyone else and their mother are getting the pancakes or other things you slather with a bunch of syrup, just like that Three Six Mafia tune. However, this soyboy charts his own path and wanted a salad, presumably the one non-sticky entree ever devoured upon this table. The location in town cannot be beat. The servers are friendly and accommodating. If you are a fan of the Bob's Burgers teevee programme you have heard of a greasy spoon type of place before, well this is a sticky tabletop type of place so your mileage may vary if you order anything that does not need syrup on it. For a salad in this area from a local joint, rather than something out of the various fast foods dotting the area around the SFA campus down the road, you could not do better than here. Things I wished someone explained to me: why all the Betty Boops up in here. The place is called Dolli, not Betty. I need someone to explain this to me because I have an active imagination and I assume the truth is much more interesting than anything I could come up with.

The Duke burger with a fried egg and onion rings

Dolli's Diner is located on the square in Downtown Nac. We were told we had a 20-25 minute wait, but our table was ready in less than 20 minutes. It was hard to choose between breakfast or lunch, but Hubby and I settled on lunch. I had the Rueben and Hubby the burger. The Rueben was fantastic, and Hubby said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had. Service was friendly and the prices are great value. It is clear to see why Dolli's is a local favorite!

This was horrible food. Chicken on my salad was dry, my fathers grilled cheese was burned. Not good. Won't go back.

Pretty good comfort food. The funnel cake fries are just the right amount of sweet, a must try!

Good service and good food; truly can't go working with this place. Lines might be long on a weekend but it is honestly worth the wait!
