    The weekend kicked off by having breakfast with a friend of mine here at Dolly's Diner in Princeton, West Virginia. It was recommended by the Days Inn hotel staff. It was a lively and lovely atmosphere here at Dolly's Diner, especially on a Friday morning in November. It was around 9am when my friend and I walked in and we got a table almost immediately. I thought that was pretty cool. The entire experience took about an hour since breakfast didn't take too long. The chatter and laughter for the weekend was nice and for me to be there was intoxicating for sure. The service here was good and typical. Friendly and welcoming as well. Even my friend stared to chat up the server that day, saying that I was from Hawaii and he was from Canada. I thought it was funny and interesting at the same time. The server seemed to be amused but it was what it was. I ended up getting a standard plate of breakfast eggs and corned beef hash, with pancakes to make it a good meal. I also had toast and it was delicious with syrup. For my drink, I just had ice water. The prices were not too bad for breakfast though. In Fact, it was around the same price range as the Bob Evans restaurant nearby. Around $10-$13 depending on what you're buying. I enjoyed the meal and my friend from Canada enjoyed his country fried steak. It was an interesting choice for breakfast for sure. And so, if you're in the area for pleasure, business, or visiting or just passing through, consider getting your day started by having breakfast at Dolly's Diner in Princeton. It would probably be the highlight of your day, I promise. I know it was for me, heading into the weekend and a 50 mile race in neighboring Kentucky. The overall experience here at Dolly's Diner in Princeton, West Virginia was good and nice, while being casual and friendly as well. The service was fast and friendly while providing a bit of a show between my Canadian friend and the server. I guess he was trying to be friendly. The food itself was traditional breakfast combos with nothing else. Everyone enjoys traditional breakfast comfort foods and Dolly's Diner serves up a lot of them on a daily basis. The restaurant was just busy at the time I was there and that's perfectly okay. It was clean and thankful we got a table as we walked in when it was semi busy. Maybe we beat the breakfast rush that morning. Maybe that was it. The corned beef hash that I had was delicious and good. I had the runny egg yokes, which was the best perfect thing to have with your breakfast protein of choice. The pancakes were fluffy and moist. It was one of the better breakfasts I had while traveling this year. For the most part though, the experience here at Dolly's Diner in Princeton West Virginia was good and nice. I was happy that I dined here versus Bob Evans nearby. While they both provided similar experiences and menu items, I thought that Dolly's provided the ambiance that wasn't there At Bob Evans. I would definitely recommend coming to Dolly's Diner on your next meal here in Princeton, West Virginia. The pancakes are great, the corned beef hash is fun and delicious, and it just seems like everything is awesome, whatever you decide to get. You can't go wrong at Dolly's Diner. Check them out on your next road trip thru Princeton, West Virginia. Dolly's Diner in Princeton, West Virginia is located at 909 Oakvale Road near the cluster of budget friendly hotels next to the Starbucks. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they have a small parking lot for anyone and everyone who wishes to drive here. Best bet would be to have your own private vehicle or rent one if possible. There is limited regional public transportation in and out of Princeton, but absolutely helpful to have your own transportation plan in place. There is uber and Lyft at your discretion as well, but the best way to get around and getting here to Dolly's Diner would be to have your own vehicle or rent one. They have your traditional breakfast and I'm willing to bet you can order whatever you want at any time of day. Lunch items for breakfast and breakfast items for dinner. Whatever you want it's all good. Breakfast food is always good any time of the day. And so, if you find yourself here in Princeton, West Virginia, consider coming to Dolly's diner for your next meal. It's my hidden gem in the community. Hope it will be for you too. 4.5 stars for the overall experience. 3.0 stars for the prices, but 4.0 stars for the service and 5.0 for the location. Support local! B+

    Aesthetic: Retro, 50's style diner with an all day breakfast menu, comfort foods, and desserts. My Favorites: The little bopper breakfast! Experience: This diner is the cutest! The food is delicious and the service is exceptional. We felt like we stepped back in time and enjoyed the vibe of this spot. We both ordered the little and big bopper breakfasts, and it was a perfect cheat meal after our hike. We also ordered a root beer float to share since it was our anniversary weekend. Everything was perfect, we will definitely stop here again the next time we're in Princeton.

    The staff was amazing. Multiple servers stopped and checked on us or to just have conversation. The food was great. The desserts all homemade and so good. Will come back when we visit WV again.

    Went there last Thursday for breakfast before hitting the road to Cleveland because we wanted to support a local restaurant. Our waitress was Bobbie...she was, friendly, kind and attentive....kept our coffee mugs full!! An older gentleman came around to our table welcoming us and asking if we liked the food...we assured him we enjoyed it and then noticed he sat at table in the corner with a woman...that had to have been Dolly!!! She looked just like the woman on the picture! My parents and I thought it was so warm to see the owners sitting down having breakfast as if they were customers themselves! May Dolly's Diner continue to thrive and if there are folks coming through WV looking for a bite to eat, it's worth it to stop at Dolly's Diner!!! They also have daily specials!!

    Mushroom burger was delicious. The sweet potato fries were crispy and could not been better.

    On our way down to Charlotte thought we would go to a local diner. Definitely a good call. Old diner vibe with energy to match. Seated immediately and service was great. We asked for recommendations and as it was unlimited spaghetti night, Tuesday, that was first recommendation. We went with second recommendation which was any of the burgers. Delicious and really hit the spot. Everything was seasoned well and quality of the product was evident. In fact we probably will stop in for lunch on the way back.

    I have made the drive through West Virginia countless times coming from Pittsburgh heading south,…read moreand also driving back to Pittsburgh. Thus, I have always seen Tudor's along the way but had never stopped at one before this particular trip. And man I was really missing out! Given that this was a Friday during Lent, I was unable to try any of the meat sandwiches. I opted for the Dottie, which was a biscuit with egg, cheese, and a hash brown. First off, the biscuits are giant! The sandwich was yummy and very filling. I feel like this sandwich was double the size of one you would get at a fast food place. Additionally, I tired the Tator Rounds, which were crispy and delightful. My favorite item was the Country Apples. They were soft, sweet, and exactly what I hoped they would be. I will definitely get these every time I stop in the future. Also got a small Hot Coffee, along with a side of Sausage Gravy that I did not personally have but were both reported to be good! The price was very reasonable, especially given the size of the sandwiches and sides. They also had deals, like BOGO $1 sandwiches. The service was fast and friendly. Given I had never been, the employees answered all my questions kindly. The outside of the restaurant was cute, and appeared to be well-kept. We visited the drive-thru so I did not see the inside! Like I said, I have been missing out by never stopping here on my previous trips. I will be frequenting this restaurant during my future trips through West Virginia.

    Sadly not how I remembered it, even though things are made to order I feel like the recipe has…read morechanged. Maybe its just me, but when I visit my hometown I don't think next time I will be craving this place. Friendly service, but orders do take some time.
