Chicken Caesar wrap & Mac & cheese
Stephanie H.

The Mac & cheese, it was amazing!! The wrap, burger & fries were delish. The waitress was amazing! I would suggest this place to anyone

Blueberry pancakes with crispy bacon
Anne P.

A hidden gem. Very fresh food at reasonable prices. Old fashion dinner with friendly staff. Highly recommend

Doodle's Diner / Charlottesville: Doodle's Cheeseburger, side of Fries, and Dill Spear. All good!
Kimberly-Gretchen B.

I must have driven past Doodle's Diner hundreds of times and not noticed it. But yesterday, as I was leaving C'ville, on the 250 bypass headed to I-64 to go home, in a small, nondescript group of stores on the left, I saw Doodle's Diner. It was early Friday afternoon. All I could think of was Doodles Weaver, a bit-part actor on the Andy Griffith Show. Good enough for me. A quick U-turn and I was parking just moments later. The server, Kim, told me to sit anywhere. I snagged a booth and began perusing the menu. So many options! I settled on the Doodle Cheeseburger. Fries for side. The food came up quickly, perhaps 10 minutes. Fries first. Hot, abundant, Shoe String, and delicious. I ate about half, and later packed up half to take home. On to the Burger. I needed assistance, so I asked Kim for a steak knife. I was soon sampling the Doodle Cheeseburger. Very, very good. It's worth a repeat, but there are many other dishes I wish to try first: Doodle's Delight Omelet, BLT, Club Sandwich, etc. There were signs suggesting Soup of the Day, and Desserts. None of the Soups caught my fancy, but the desserts sounded interesting. I asked Kim if they wee homemade; she assured me they were. The only dessert I thought I might enjoy was the Carrot Cake, so I ordered that. OMG! Hands down, it was the best Carrot Cake ever (and I have eaten a lot of CC!) Cream Cheese Frosting, spices... Nutmeg, Cloves, and... Je ne sais quoi. That will be a repeat every time!

Steak and cheese with grilled onions Fries
Bria S.

I pass this place all time, but never stop in. On a humbug I stopped in and got a steak and cheese with fries. Place was kinda empty but the people there seemed to be regulars. Waited about 10minutes for my food. I'll say this the fries were good, but the steak and cheese could have used some flavor. Overall I would try something else from there.

Turkey club with French fries
Valerie C.

Very glad I found this place today. The turkey club was exactly what I hoped it would be and they definitely do not skimp on the fries, which were also tasty. Quiet and friendly atmosphere with great service. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new place to grab some lunch.

Two egg breakfast combo
Hana P.

I am such a chicken strip snob and this place has the best I've ever eaten. Quaint and quiet on a Sunday morning was perfect for our out of town brunch. Our final stop on our anniversary weekend was the final touch. Our waitress was smiling and bubbly, and made a great first impression. All in all my boyfriend and I were very impressed. Will be back !! Thanks to kim our server!

I wish I took pictures of the food because all 7 of us got something different and everything was…read moreamazing. We had coffee and lattes and they were all good. I'm mentioning this because the amount of breakfast places with shit coffee is wild. So not only good food, but excellent coffee. Brioche French toast bananas foster - the bananas foster syrup was the bomb. Nutella and Strawberry Crepes - they were huge and so good! Chicken and Waffles- fried crispy bone in chicken is yue only way to go. My teen son eat every crumb. Avocado Toast with egg and smoked salmon - my husband loved it. Avocado Egg Bake - cooked perfectly and so good. Buttermilk pancakes for fluffy and great flavor. They offer real maple syrup, bananas foster syrup if you're fancy and then regular (fake) syrup.

Definitely a popular place! Historic building charm and good food! We hit the jackpot walking in…read morewhen there was a spot available despite being super busy. Make a reservation, but there's also a little grab and go spot right when you walk in. Breakfast cocktails were yummy! I didn't feel guilty having a chocolate espresso martini for breakfast:) Bananas Foster Beignets was ridiculous! Benedict options were so unique. I recommend asking questions to make sure you're getting what you want. Hindsight I would have added protein to the green tomato Benedict. We also got a bowl that was much more like a salad and not like a hearty bowl. All were delicious, just not what was expected. We would return for sure!

Fantastic experience. Wife and I did a 2 night stay and enjoyed every minute. Although there are…read moreseveral buildings, we stayed in the "main house" which was so convenient. The bar, front desk, valet and pool just steps away. The staff were like family and accommodations very comfortable. Many thanks to Antonio at the desk/valet, Tyler the bar manager and Tyler Cupec Director of Rooms for making it a trip worthy of a not only a 5 star review but also a future return as well.

Oakhurst Inn is a clean, orderly, well stocked vintage inn in Charlottesville. My room was clean,…read morecomfortable, with nice furniture and the bathroom in excellent shape. Quality linens. Squeaky clean hardwood floors all over. Tasteful old furniture. Every staff member I spoke to was polite, courteous, and happy to help. The self serve stations for hot coffee, tea, and cold water was a convenient resource outside of the door. This inn appears to be made of several former homes that were turned into a campus of buildings making the Oakhurst Inn. It's not a single building. The small lawn in the center of the complex has benches, hammock, and a fireplace that seems welcoming and nice, but I wasn't aware of them until I left. There were a few problems during my stay. The inn requires guests to use valet parking which is $40 per night, not disclosed before my stay, and often required a long wait for the valet to return. This makes it hard to retrieve anything you need from your car. The front desk staff are often missing from the front desk - I had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come back and check me in on arrival. Likewise, the bartender is often away from station and you might wait 10 or 30 minutes for the bartender to return. There is no mini fridge or microwave in the hotel rooms. The pool area was extremely dark at night, making it tricky or dangerous to navigate. The pool water was lukewarm, not warm at all. The sauna was out of order and the doorway was small and obscured by chairs. Not accessible and difficult to find. This inn has no gym. The lobby is very small and has no seating for guests or places to hang their luggage, although the nearby lounge has a few leather couches and a fireplace that doesn't appear to be working. Not the most welcoming or convenient. Overall I don't think it's worth the hefty price tag and would stay elsewhere when I return to Charlottesville.
