    Pork Belly & Grits
    Alan F.

    This ranks is one of my greatest breakfast experiences..EVER!!! The service was warm and informative..being our very first time here! We loved the local feel..seeing the collegiate sport team highlighted.. Now for the food...I am ABSOLUTELY STEALING this menu item!! Pork Belly & Grits. I choose poached eggs (Our server even asked how "poached" I wanted the egg) love that touch When I ask our Server about their corned beef and hash. She replied "everything here is homemade". She saw the look of disappointment in my face as I really love homemade corn, beef hash. She then suggested why don't you go with this menu item where you could actually get two breakfast entrées split down into one cohesive plate. What a brilliant idea! Definitely great for foodies who wanna try more than one thing but don't want to spend that much money and get that much food. This has been absolutely hands-down, the highlight of our road trip and truly plan on returning back here again!

    The monkey bread was delicious! I got the Brutus. Chicken fried chicken over hashbrowns with onions smothered in gravy. It was really good. Huge portions. I really liked the colorful table cloths. It gave the restaurant extra pop. The staff was friendly.

    First things first! Make sure to get on the waitlist at least 30 mins to an hour before you plan to arrive, because Doo-Dah Diner is ALWAYS packed. I had the Brutus and I'd give it an 8/10. My friend had the crispy corned beef hash with a pancake and she enjoyed her food. Overall I'd give an 8/10 rating and I'd recommend Doo-Dah Diner.

    Still a great place for breakfast after the ownership change. My wife especially enjoyed the ham

    So you can see the inside!

    We ate at Doo Dah Diner this morning, it was delicious! We enjoyed their complimentary monkey bread! It was gooey and delicious. I forgot to take a picture until it was only left a couple pieces. For breakfast my husband had Timi Benedict, he thought the hollandaise sauce was a tad more lemony than he usually has but was very delicious that way with the bacon. I had the breakfast burrito grumpy style! The mixture of the green chile enchiladas sauce and sausage gravy was more delicious than I could have imagined and so filling!

    This was a great place to enjoy a great breakfast. Service was great, food was served fairly fast, hot and tasty. The server brought us some complimentary " monkee bread" was a nice touch. The inside was very clean and well organized.

    My husband and I love to eat here! The food is great, and the service is always excellent! They have a variety of dishes and the flavors are all bold, and delicious! I think my favorite is the Chicken and Noodles. The skillet green beans taste like heaven.

    Service was fantastic. Food was solid and didn't leave hungry. Am I ace was cool and separated so it was little more quiet.

    I had been wanting to try this place for years. Stopped in for breakfast on Sunday. The place was packed and for good reason. I had the Triple D which is a choice of three of their favorites. I got The Benny, corned beef hash and biscuits in gravy. I judge the place by their gravy. If the gravy is good, it's a legit place. The biscuits and gravy were to die for. Biscuit was unique, spongy and soaked up the gravy-. The corned beef hash was also very good. The Benny was solid but normally not my thing anyway. The banana bread French toast was sooo good. And the complimentary monkey bread took me back to my childhood. Service is pleasant and efficient. Great place.

    Joined the waitlist on Yelp and it worked perfectly! Don't miss this spot for breakfast/brunch... Derek was extremely hospitable and made great recommendations. Husband chose the chicken fried wagyu with eggs, and I got the corned beef hash with green sauce. substituted the Banana bread French toast instead of regular toast. The complimentary monkey bread set to the tone for our meal and I knew right away this was going to be a great experience. REAL food, made with REAL scratch ingredients. No mixes, and no shortcuts. I truly believe there wouldn't be a thing on the menu that isn't amazing! VERY clean, roomy seating and the local photography prints on the walls were icing on the cake. Ordered a turtle cinnamon roll, quart of green sauce and a family size shepherds pie to go!

    Always busy. (In a good way) staple in Wichita great breakfast/brunch food, huge portions monkey bread is amazing. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Only negative is the parking situation. Highly recommended for out of towners traveling just for the spirit of downtown Wichita.

    Cool retro diner. We stopped by for breakfast while on road trip through states. I really enjoyed their version of Egg Benedict ( Tanya's Benny) . I liked the homemade hollandaise sauce. We also tried banana bread . It was overly sweet for my taste but I'm sure some love it that way. I definitely recommend this place for breakfast. Good coffee. Our waitress ,Tina, was lovely . 4.5 stars rating

    Lily T.

    Very very good!!! Happy we went there! Good luck with parking! It is tight and they do get busy. I think all the people of Wichita went there at the same time! Quite enjoyable!!!

    Great food. Large portions and the monkey bread is the best. Would recommend call ahead seating if in a group.

    Do you have gluten free options?

    We have become known in the celiac circles for our GF Banana Bread French Toast!

    Is there a place nearby to park our 40 foot trailer and we could walk to the restaurant?

    Yes, the restaurant is adjacent to a large parking lot.

    Does anyone know if they put onions in their breakfast gravy? I'm allergic and it's my favorite thing to order at a breakfast place but some of the places in town have onions in their gravy

    Abi, we do not put onions in our sausage gravy or our chicken gravy which is served on our chicken fried steak or chicken breakfast meal.

A lot of their sweets are delicious and good for the price. Whenever I get the chance to stop in, I do. Its an easy place to miss. It's always busy and full. The staff is very welcoming and kind. The environment and ambiance of the place is very western and old fashioned yet very friendly and homey. It gives the feeling as if your grandparents are in the back cooking for you, the food is delicious and worth the stop.

    Auntie C's is a good place to grab a slice of Americana. From the goofy s*** on the walls to…read moreclassic American dishes, Auntie C's delivers the small-town diner feel in mega doses. But the thing is, whether you're seeking out nostalgia for the days of old, or wanting to experience that small-town feel for the first time, once the novelty of the atmosphere wears off, you're left with a mediocre hole-in-the-wall that serves edible food. The dishes at Auntie C's are all classic American diner meals, and when I say "all," I mean just that. The menu at Auntie C's is expansive, and while this can seem like a great thing because it offers up a plethora of choices, it also means that nothing is exceptional. I question the true freshness of the ingredients here...the fruits and veggies all taste like they come from a can, and the sauces and gravy all taste like they're frozen and thawed. Everything is perfectly edible and most of it tastes "okay," but I can imagine the people raving about how delicious the food is think salt and pepper are the only spices that exist, because those are pretty much the only spices used here, and almost everything is under-seasoned. Breakfast is by far the best thing to order, and you can get it all day. But be wary of the biscuits, because they frequently are overcooked and dry, and I would avoid anything that's "hand-breaded" unless you want to eat 75% breading. The cream gravy has a good flavor, but they seem to struggle a bit with consistency. While usually being nice and thick, on occasion it has been runny and watered down...that generally happens when a restaurant tries to carry over food from several days ago. That said, the French Toast and Pancakes have never let us down, and things like bacon, eggs and hashbrowns are just hard to mess up. For lunch or dinner, I've never found a meal that I enjoyed much save for the Chicken and Noodles, which are very good. The hamburgers lack proper seasoning and are often overcooked and dry, which leads me to believe they're probably cooked on a broiler...fast and high heat, which would be the correct way to cook a high quality, high fat beef like wagyu, but for lower quality beef that they clearly are using, low and slow would allow the meat to tenderize and retain moisture, and develop a richer flavor. The Mexican options, though few, are honestly pretty gross, so I generally stick to the breakfast menu these days. The deserts, however, are fantastic, and they usually have cookies, fudge and other goodies for sale by the register that are made outside of the restaurant that the kids love. It might seem like I eat there a lot for someone who doesn't seem to like the food, and you'd be partially correct. My mom LOVES Auntie C's, and she loves beef liver, which Auntie C's serves, so we take her there every other week. But what my mom loves about the restaurant is the fact that she's been going there practically since it opened, I think in the early 2000's, and it reminds her of growing up in western KS...she openly admits that the food isn't great, and we probably won't go much when she passes. The atmosphere is kitschy but unique, and the story behind it is cool. Much of the decor has been donated over the years by patrons like my mom, and when you sit in the dining room you can usually hear someone who has spent the last decade or so sitting in the dining room every Sunday bantering with the staff. Aside from the decor, the dining room is a typical diner...too many tables shoved into too small of a space, where you feel like you're sitting on top of the strangers at the table next to you, and someone's rear is constantly in your face as they squeeze through. I can see how the staff can come across as rude at times, but in my experience this is generally when they are busy and they are just hurrying, trying to get their tables taken care of...if you aren't the type who feels the need to treat wait staff like your personal servant and bow to your existence, you shouldn't have an issue. Food generally arrives at the table in a timely manner, and I've never felt ignored or forgotten about. Prices at Auntie C's are very fair for the large portions you get, and though they have had to increase some due to food costs, they aren't gouging you. In fact, 2 people can easily share most of their breakfast dishes if you aren't trying to pack in a days' worth of calories into one meal. All told, the best thing Auntie C's offers is a unique dining experience that I do think is worth checking out, but under it they're serving cafeteria quality food and riding on the coattails of nostalgia. If it weren't for the atmosphere I'd give it fewer stars, because the food by itself doesn't earn 3.

    We were passing through Wichita, and instead of stopping at the Kansas gas station islands on I-35,…read moreI looked long and hard for something a little better to stop at. Old Mill Tasty Shop sounded interesting. It's in an interesting Old Town area that had free parking and art on the street to enjoy. It wasn't too far off I35, so it became a nice break during a day of driving. The atmosphere inside was just as quaint. This is a classic soda fountain. We showed up well after noon, so getting in wasn't hard. I can see how it might get tough at times though. I had the Reuben and it was textbook. My daughter got the chicken salad sandwich on the fluffiest white break you've seen. We both chose the side salad, which was a delightful mix of greens with sprouts. I had to finish off the meal with a vanilla malt. It was not clear to me if they made the ice cream, but they were generous with the malt. Best malt I've had in years. Only problem was I sucked it down and should have bought a second one.

There simply isn't room for the high chairs. They've got too many tables and chairs in here as it is. The food was extremely slow coming out to us. Lots of people that came in after we did got their food before we did. The tuna melt we ordered was very chinchy on the tuna. I would say less than 2 ounces. The crab salad I ordered was a little more, but filled with celery and onions and nothing to write home about. Bottom line, really average to below average food. Skip this place.
