    Cinnamon roll waffle
    Signe S.

    Such a great little diner! Breakfast is my favorite meal and I'm always looking for local diners. The staff was incredibly friendly and obviously enjoy their jobs. It made the whole atmosphere very comfortable. The food was delicious. My husband had a cinnamon waffle with cream cheese glaze that broke my gluten free heart. The smell was divine, and he said it tasted as great as it smelled. I would go back, weekly.

    Best club I've ever had!  Amazing!
    Melissa Joy M.

    Seriously doesn't look like much, but the food is amazing! I had the club, which was made with thick ham and turkey, perfectly cooked bacon, and fresh l&t! My husband had the chicken fried steak - yum! Service was excellent! As busy as they were, we never wanted for anything and never had to ask for a drink refill! Spot on place for breakfast!

    an omelet with cheese and vegetables

    Was in the need for breakfast, so got out my handy Yelp App and found Dolly's Café, gave the address to my brother and off we went! It was a Wednesday morning and not too busy. It's a cute little café and they are doing well with covid precautions with seating spaced out and booths have privacy curtains. After checking out the menu I went with the Dolly Scramble, it was diced ham and scrambled eggs mixed with hash browns, peppers, onions, mushrooms topped with sour cream. It was just what I was craving that morning. And it came with a choice of toast or a homemade biscuit, so I went with the biscuit and raspberry jam. The biscuit was so tender and paired well with the raspberry jam! This is a delish breakfast at Dolly's Café, look forward to coming back next time I'm in town!

    Dorothy's Special #2

    Had a very nice first visit to Dolly's today. Recommend by family and friends for quite some time and just never got around to trying it. Jessica was our server and she was excellent. She kept drinks filled and was overall very attentive. She also made us feel like family. It's a small place with a handful of countertop stools and about 10 booths. Nicely appointed inside with comfortable booth seating. Both of our meals, the Uncle Jacks Omelette & Dorothy's Special, were very good. High quality and plenty of food to get your day going. Everything about this was excellent except the price. Breakfast set us back over $30 without tip so that's the only reason for a loss of star. Great food, excellent service, but pricey.

    Got bumped out of the Yelp event at Browne's Bistro, sulked for awhile and then headed out for Dolly's! Upon entering, I immediately noted the intimate space and booths and feared my obesity would be a problem. However, the booth we chose was plenty comfortable and we settled in for breakfast. My wife had a half-order on the biscuits and gravy and I chowed down on the "Hearty" breakfast (see photo). The service was very friendly and the food was lip-smacking good. We tag teamed the food and left no survivors! The wait staff was very attentive and the food and coffee perfect! Next stop, LUNCH!!

    Perhaps the best breakfast spot in the area! I love their French Toast and Eggs Benedict. Prices are reasonable for the portions and service is friendly and fast. Only con I could think of is that this place is rather small for a restaurant and not ideal for big groups and may be challenging for those in a wheelchair.

    This place is permanently closed. Walked across town to see the for sale sign and an empty parking lot. Bummer, it looked amazing.

    Loved my breakfast!!! Everything was homemade especially the strawberry jam!!!!!  I'd love to come back for lunch.
    Sandy C.

    The food at the cafe was excellent. I got the hash browns and eggs with a side of bacon. The biscuit came with homemade strawberry jam! The service was great as well - very helpful and friendly! We'd love to stay for lunch too!!

    Menu as of 8/16/21

    Second time going here. Prices have increased $5-6 from just 8 months ago! They do a ton of delivery/to-go orders with door dash, Uber eats, etc. so even though there were only 4-5 tables seated it took over 30 minutes for the two of us to get our food. Probably won't come back. I believe the pandemic has shifted their focus online and the increase in prices is a tough bite to swallow. Happy they're surviving but I was hopeful for more with the cute diner it is. Maybe if they kept online prices raised but return their in person menu to January prices?

The inside as shown in my picture is very charming and old timey. Allow time to wait for a table unless you are just one or two like I was and able to grab a seat at the bar. I was able to sit immediately. The staff is very amiable and the hostess made the recommendation that I try the Caprese Benedict, which had fried tomatoes in place of bread, fresh basil and blood orange balsamic drizzle. They offer the option of one or two Benedict, which is nice if you aren't super hungry. They also give the option to smother the hashbrowns and cheese, which I obviously opted into. The menu is absolutely massive though, so if Benedict's or even breakfast aren't your jam, you should be able to find something that suits your fancy. Also worth noting that they offer a very wide variety of gourmet flavors of house-made juices (7 or 8) for mimosas, like honeydew melon mint which I tried as a soda with soda water since I was driving.

It looked like they were using olives to try to cover up how the dish actually looked, which was mushy and gross. Somehow it tasted worse than it looked. The BLT had scant bacon, tons of lettuce, a few pink flavorless tomato slices and tons of bread. It fell completely apart due to not enough mayo. All I tasted was dry day old bread. The waitress kept leaning over a booth wall and across me, to present things instead of walking around a few steps to the table to complete service. She literally was knocking things off my plate in order to keep leaning over the booth wall to deliver things. She then would just laugh and continue this weird reach thing for anything else she brought including the check. It was really bizarre. The final audacity was the total of our lunch which ended up over $40. It wasn't worth $4. I usually give an establishment a few trys before giving up on them but in this case we will never be back.

Our food arrived quickly and everything was fresh to order. The Club Sandwich was impressive and tasted delicious. Everything was assembled fresh and the vegetables were still crisp. As for my husband's burger, he said it was cooked to medium well yet it still retained its moisture and was perfectly seasoned. He enjoyed the crispness the onion rings added and said the barbecue added a nice tangy flavor. As for the prices, we thought they were a little steep for brunch but still a fun experience. We wish our waters were refilled but other than those two things, not bad.
