    Diviorced Ground Beef Burrito.  Half green sauce and Half red sauce
    Elizabeth C.

    We love the family and the service we get here! Our normal staples are almost every tuesday we get; 1 Divorced Burrito, Pork Street Tacos, and Chicken Tamales! This place is located in a Shell Gas Station right off the main Yelm road! You have the ability to go inside and order or use the drive thru option too. Try them out!

    I always stop by here everytime I'm in Yelm. Rey Burrito spicy is all I need to say! Someday I will try other great looking menu items.

    OMG!!! Their burritos are humungous and very good. Two meals out of it. I'd go back again.

    Good food but getting less with time and prices going up. To much rice and beans needs more meat or chicken. So I order less now.

    Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful local diner!…read more We've been to Mr. Doug's a couple of times since moving to Yelm, and every visit has been a good one. Yesterday, though, they really impressed us! We were on day two without power at our house, along with many others in town, so Mr. Doug's was absolutely slammed. There was a line out the door the entire time we were there, but they still got us seated surprisingly quickly. Our food took a while to come out because they were so busy, but it was well worth the wait. Everything was hot, fresh, delicious, and made just right! I ordered fries for breakfast...because, for some reason, that was exactly what I was craving, and they were crispy, hot, salty, and absolutely perfect! Sean got the chicken-fried steak and eggs, which was delicious, and Haley ordered the giant Doug's plate with ham, bacon, eggs, hash browns, sausage, and French toast. Everything on her plate was excellent, too! The service was just as impressive as the food. Our waitress was friendly, joked around with us, and took the time to make us feel welcome without making us feel rushed. The staff kept our drinks full the entire time. I'm extremely picky about my iced tea and need LOTS of ice, and they kept my glass full of both ice and tea the whole time! Sean had coffee, and they kept refilling it as much as he wanted until he switched to water. The entire staff deserves a shout-out. The host and bussers were working incredibly hard to keep things moving, and even our waitress was helping bus tables so they could get more people seated. You could tell everyone was pitching in and doing their best to take care of the customers. Even the bathrooms were clean and fully stocked despite how many people were coming through, especially with so many in town without power. All in all, we had a wonderful experience. Great food, generous portions, friendly service, and a hardworking staff that clearly cares about their customers. If you're looking for a good, fresh, local family diner in Yelm, I highly recommend Mr. Doug's! We'll definitely be back!

    Friendly server in what looks and feels like a good ol' boy diner in the country (not a bad thing)…read more Food was decent but not memorable. Biscuits seemed to be of frozen quality, omelette was decent but not very large for $20. Hash browns were decent but again nothing to be excited about. May try lunch here, may not.

    SPITS IN YOUR FOOD!!!!! I'd give zero stars if I could lol…read more Whoever the lady at the window and Mic is working nights is a bitch. She's rude.. she hung up the phone on me. She has you sitting there for THIRTY MINUTES. Without any interaction at the window then finally comes and takes your money. Then has you waiting another twenty minutes to give you your food... (I called before I even got to the window cause I had been waiting there just to ORDER my food, for 15 minutes haha). Black hair, with purple highlights, and a web tattoo. Not sure of her name.

    Went to the drive-thru around 3:10pm on Friday, May 1st. The line was taking FOREVER. When I got to…read morethe window, I found out why. The girl at the window (CeCe was the name on her hat) was busy texting on her phone next to the register and didn't take my payment for at least a solid minute after I pulled up. She did more texting while running my card, and then handed me my card and went back to texting. When she got to a good stopping point in her conversation, she put her phone back in her pocket and then wandered aimlessly around the area where they pick up our orders. She at some point came to the window and said "did I give you your drink?" And I said "nope", so she grabbed the nearby drink and handed it to me. Whatever it was, it wasn't Coke Zero. She eventually remembered what her job was and went to scoop my fries and grabbed my burger and made her way back to the window where she stuck her arm out, not even looking in the direction of the window, for me to grab the bag and then she was back to doing whatever was next. No greeting.. no "have a good day".. This location gets worse every time I go there.

    We've lived in Yelm, Washington for two years now, and we've given this place way more chances than…read moreit deserved. We've been here at least 5-6 times. The very first time, the owner was our server and the service was actually pretty good. The food was mediocre, but we figured we'd come back and give it another shot. Unfortunately, that first experience has been the exception, not the rule. We are huge wing fans and so naturally we ordered the wings. They were freezer burnt and they were the full wing the flat and the drum hooked together. We were not a fan of them. We've stopped in just for a couple of beers while waiting for our dog to get groomed next door, and even those visits have been uncomfortable. We've dealt with bartenders who were rude and completely unfriendly, and servers who seem to forget you're even there. We came here for Valentine's Day two years ago with a reservation, expecting a nice, romantic dinner. Instead, it was an absolute disaster. The staff looked completely overwhelmed, nobody seemed to know what was going on, our expense steaks were over cooked badly, we were ignored for long stretches, never offered refills, and the entire dinner was a huge disappointment. But we kept trying. Most recently, we brought two friends here because we really wanted to give it one more chance. We actually warned them not to have high expectations. Unfortunately, the service was just as bad. We were ignored, never got beer refills, and the food was terrible. Our friends left saying they never wanted to come back. Today, while waiting for our dog to be groomed, we stopped in for a couple of beers and ordered the JoJos from the happy hour menu. Six or so potato wedges that were overcooked and just not very good, with mediocre barbecue sauce and ranch. There is a new server here whom we've never had before, and honestly, she's been better than anyone we've dealt with here in the past. She's still pretty slow, but she is easily the best service we've had since that very first visit when the owner served us. And ironically, that same owner has completely ignored us every time we've been back and hasn't said a word to us since our first visit. At this point, we've tried enough times to know this isn't a one-off bad night. The service is consistently awful, the food is mediocre at best, and the prices don't match what you're getting. We genuinely try to support local businesses, which is why we kept coming back and giving this place another chance. But after six or so visits and multiple disappointing experiences, we're done. I absolutely cannot recommend this place. If you're looking for overpriced, mediocre food and consistently terrible service, this is your place! Otherwise, there are plenty of other local places that deserve your money.
