Doug's Diner is a standout brunch place in the area, and definitely worth the visit!
The food is high quality, evident in how many things are made in-house--their biscuits, jams, and ranch are all delicious and obviously home made in the best possible way. The portion sizes are generous, with biscuits the size of your palm being a specialty.
My only complaint food-wise is that I wish their sandwiches and burgers had an actual sauce on them, because they're quite dry otherwise. Even a smear of ranch would do wonders, but they could go the extra mile and turn those diced green chilies into an aioli or perhaps a type of salsa or even spicy ketchup.
The atmosphere was nice, with cute signs about coffee mostly, it feels like your average modern diner. My only "complaint" here was the music choice, which was an eclectic mix of stock music--ranging from something that sounds like basic 2016 pop music to mysterious and almost spooky songs, both being tight loops that go on for a few minutes. I felt it was a bit distracting and odd, but realistically not a huge issue (though I recommend either putting on an approved radio station or allowing employees to play music within reason, to curate a more normal atmosphere.)
The service was great, our waitress was very quick to fill up our waters and check in on us. I have no notes. read more
