I was in the restroom when our waitress, an employee, was violently throwing up in the bathroom. She left and did not wash her hands. I told the manager she was ill and per food service protocol she should be sent home. He didn't show any discretion, approached her right in front of me on the spot, and she told him she was just "too hot". He turned to me and said she just got hot but she's fine. He offered another waiter (after a pause of me looking dumbfounded as if that was even a question) but if those are their health standards for their wait staff I don't even want to know what was happening in the kitchen. Show some compassion on your employees and send people home when they're ill. Demand rigorous hand washing policies. It was so unappetizing we left immediately. read more

Upon entering Dolly's was clean, friendly and crowded. Just what you want to see in a local diner. Everyone seemed happy with their food and service .. we definitely were. The omlette was seasoned just right and full of ham. The grits were the best I've ever had and the country potatoes were crispy and moist inside (not dried out and hard like at most diners late in the day). My husband loved his all-you-can-eat biscuits & gravy. Never seen biscuits fried on the grill b4, but they were good! I'd go back for dinner if we were in town. read more

Dolly's Diner - Cheesesteak with hash browns - Diners Near Me - Princeton, West Virginia

Got the fish dinner and shrimp basket. Everything was hot and fresh and soooo good. Huge servings of fries but only thing I would have traded is some of the fries for more hush puppies. If you haven't had the Holy Cow dessert, know it lives up to its name. read more

Burgers were amazing and hush puppies were to die for! I love the cute little diner feel also.

We have eaten there several times and the food is always excellent. They have daily specials and the desserts are unbelievable.

No pictures to look at, however the food was delicious. Definitely worth a visit if your passing through. A table of four adults and everyone was satisfied. My sausage gravy and biscuit breakfast was the best of my trip through the south A spot to see all on its own. read more

Cute 1950's style diner w the checkers and car theme. We started off w root beer floats, then tried an order of chili fries and were not disappointed. The hubby got a burger and I got the steak bomb. We had to take half home because Ms. Polly makes some pretty amazing desserts- which we also ended taking home. Hubby got lemon lush- like lemon marange and I got a Holy cow cake (I think) I would make the trip just for the desserts! The service was excellent and staff is friendly. read more

The food and service was amazing! Our waitress was so sweet and so was everyone we spoke to. The food was super good and filling. Only $23 for everything all together, INCLUDING a tip!

Diners like this are great. Everything was made well and the vibes were good. Got the philly cheese steak and the burger and had no complaints. The fries were great but I would skip the onion rings next time. All in all though ill probably come through here every time I'm in the area. read more

Went in on a Sunday, service was good and food was just okay. The kitchen is fast. We both had the fried fish dinner and we both wished we would've gotten breakfast. Our toddler did a kids breakfast and it looked great. Dessert was amazing though, so we would go back. read more

Love service. Owner is great and active in Resturant. And the food is good too. Prices are reasonable.

We got off the highway for fuel and a late Sunday lunch and landed at Dolly's, not really knowing what to expect. The place was hopping at 2:00 in the afternoon but we were greeted and seated promptly. Our service was great and we enjoyed some good biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, etc. If we're ever in the area again, we'll be back. read more

I had to acknowledge the pure and warm hospitality that this local restaurant radiates. It's exactly the cooking you might be looking for if you're on the road through small town America, as I was. I realized a few things by the end of my stopover. Firstly, that it was Mr. Dolly who's table service I had the pleasure of. He was every smalltown restaurant owner you read about in books, and his descriptions of Mrs. Dolly's famous spaghetti and garlic bread, as well as her mind boggling menu of desserts, was enough for me to say "put one in the cue"! He even brought me over a little sample of the delicious sauce, so believing in it, before my mind had been made up. Despite the busy diner floor, he took utmost care in checking in on me. I also later discovered it was Mrs. Dolly who, like a professional chef who cares about her business would, came to every table to greet and welcome them, and ask if they were enjoying the meal. Warm, wholesome, and run with care and love. Get you some!!! read more

Dolly's Dinner has great diner food, we prefer their all day breakfast menu, but their other menu is good too. They always have great service (friendly servers) and we like the diner type atmosphere. We always stop by on our way through.... Their diner food is always consistent and the folks there are friendly. If you are in the area be sure to save room for dessert. Yummm. read more

Nothing too fancy here....diner seemed pretty average....I got the home fries and they were cubed like they were of the frozen variety....The wheat bread was bland and not that good. Not sure if it is or not but it kind of had a chain feel to it...The waitress was friendly. read more

The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The service was quick and the people were very welcoming and nice. The food was delicious and served hot. They have a house sauce called Spanish sauce that is incredible. Perfect for omelettes, steak and cheese, or burgers. It's a must try! We will definitely be back. read more

Loved this diner. All the employees were so nice. Loved the biscuits and gravy. Their specials looked good.

The people were so nice and welcoming. We had to order for take out because we had our two dogs. They were all gussied up at 4th of July face paint, Stars and Stripes galore. It was so wonderful to see such sincere patriotism. The double bacon burger was wonderful. We had an order of hush puppies that were excellent. Just an overall great place to eat and enjoy happy nice folk! read more

Great staff. Place was packed but seated and greeted immediately. I had the bacon cheeseburger delicious. Friend had fisherman's platter. Desserts to go! read more

Hashbrowns were cooked prior to the omelette, meaning omelette was hot and hashbrowns were cold. Wish we had gone elsewhere. Just about any place else would've been better. read more

Needed a pit stop on our way back from NC to MI and I saw a few signs for Dolly's and decided to give it a shot. Tucked back from the main drag, it was located next to Shoney's (you can follow their signage if you need help finding it). The parking lot was really full and the place was packed. It was lunch time but we luckily snagged on of the last empty booths. Menu has some things on it that I haven't seen before and personally probably wouldn't try. I did get the Philly Cheesesteak. The menu said the bun was fried, but it was more toasted than fried and over all it was pretty tasty. I also got some chili cheese fries. As I feared the chili was the beans and super tomato-ey kind, not like up here where its coney chili, no beans, very meaty. But still they weren't bad, I wished I had just gotten plain fries because the fries were really good. My daughter got breakfast. It was all pretty good except the bacon was burnt. And he chocolate milk was chunky. They were super cool about the chunky milk - seemed mortified actually. Because it is one of the places you can see them cooking, I watched her go back and check the milk and then take it over to a manager. I was happy to see that. But still, ewww. All in all, good choice for our pit stop. I would consider going back should we ever end up passing by. read more

A retro diner just off the interstate, Dolly's has something for everyone. It's a relatively small place, but they pack you in pretty good and the service is speedy. It's super clean and very nicely kept with typical diner decorations plus a few modern touches. All of the wait staff was friendly. Between the four of us, we had dolly's chicken salad sandwich (omg - this was good), Philly cheese steak (the bun was deep fried), a grilled chicken sandwich (small sandwich), and a waffle breakfast platter with eggs and bacon. The chicken salad on a croissant was the star of lunch. And the fries - hard to describe, but they had a coating on them that kept you going back for more. I wish they had Heinz ketchup. Walmart ketchup was a disappointing for the fries. Overall, a very good dining experience. We were just passing through, but we would stop again if ever in the area. I almost forgot - the holy cow cake lives up to its name. The four of us split a piece and it was just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. read more

Stopped for lunch while traveling on I77, based on their Trip Advisor rating. It did not disappoint! Had great pork tenderloin sandwiches and the service was excellent. Highly recommend for good home style cooking. read more

These 5 stars are straight up for the mac and cheese bites. It may have been 9am in the morning, but these smoked Gouda cheese bites were the bomb! I had an omelette that was pretty average, I was very surprised to find out that no cheese came on it. The potatoes were nice and crispy though! Unfortunately, my partners biscuits and gravy were just not good. But they really highlighted the burgers on the menu so I'm sure had we had those, they would have been excellent. Anytime we're traveling through, we plan to stop by. Sincerely cannot wait to come back for those Mac and cheese bites, Dolly! I should have bought a round or two for the road. read more

First time here. Stopped on the way home from Thanksgiving with family up north. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Atmosphere is bright and clean...not descriptives I've ever used for a diner. Music playing, but not loudly. Staff is incredibly friendly, but not overbearing. Will absolutely be stopping here for future road trips. Oh...and try the Dolly's TNT Seasoned Salt!! They make it here and it's delicious. read more

If you want to step into the 50s, and are nostalgic for a simple but delicious meal, this is the place. I wished they had liquor license, at least beer and wine! Loved the decorations, furniture, bar, and more than anything, the service! Our waitress was a young lady, very pleasant, fast and she checked on us several times. Didn't take any pictures, was with colleagues from the office and got caught in conversations. Had a delicious Wednesday special - meatloaf with mashed potato, green beans and corn. The toast was a good addition, all priced at only $7.99. Yes, this is West Virginia. Can't wait to stop by again next time when I am in town! read more

Terible food; overcooked and tasteless. Worst diner food we ever had. ‍. Needs to focus on quality and cooking skills.

It's a place I only entertain when there is nothing else in the area open... maybe with new management it would be better. The management posted on a review making fun of someone for their body odor. Come to find out that person has cancer... distasteful. read more

Excellent. Local. My breakfast was perfect. The staff are well-trained and friendly. It is in a former Omelette Shop building and close to the Interstate. read more
