I got there 10 minutes after it opened and there were already two regulars there. I sat in a booth, though counter seating is plentiful. The owners work the place and are the friendliest people. I started with a coffee and water. The coffee was excellent -- not acidic, not watery, full bodied flavor. I ordered an Irish Benny and a side of crispy bacon. Absolutely delicious! The muffin was toasted to perfection and the eggs were just liquid enough to blend well with the hollandaise. While I was there 2 or 3 people came in -- a mix of old and new customers. All were treated to the same friendly attitude. I will definitely be going back!

Small strip mall diner with minimal decor and furnishings likely financed on shoestring budget…read more Good crowd, mostly on stools at the counter, looking like regulars. Decent array of offerings. Friendly server. -- Build your Own Omelette: This was my wife's order. Seemed small compared with recent omelette plates elsewhere. She liked it but found it and the accompanying hash browns (homefries are the other option) very plain. Solid enough. -- Pancakes and Sausage: Stack of three, no browning, more of a Twinkie color, and-- come to think of it-- Twinkie flavor. A little dry, needing the syrup. I upgraded to a mini bottle of real maple syrup for $3.99. My wife noticed that the cap had previously been opened and it was refilled. Not a big deal for me, but for those who care, now you know. Ordinary pancakes, but got the job done. The quartet of sausage links were thin but perfectly cooked. No real wow factor, but no real complaints. An adequate breakfast; adequate gets a 3. If I'm comparing it against Rosco's Diner around the corner, I give the food edge to Rosco, the value edge to Rosco, the convenience edge to Doty, and the service fairly even. As for the atmosphere: in Rosco's favor if you don't mind conservative news in the background, and in Doty's favor if you do.

The ambiance is old country store-ish, and has its charm. The customer base includes plenty of regulars, and the service is welcoming and pleasant. But the food really wasn't all that great, generally speaking. Sure, there are some things that are always a hit - like their milk (ask to see their cows), their ice cream and butter. The coffee is ok. The bread is ok. Eggs are kinda mass produced, as is the bacon which is often piled up in the kitchen to help move it along. It's jut not all fresh off the grill, as we might prefer. My mom and kids all agree that it is more of a "last place to go if we have no other options" kinda place.

So... we went to star cafe, to try it out for breakfast…read more  Mom and I got omellettes, and didn't care for the way they made them, as they did a super thin coating on the grill, so there wasn't anything fluffy about it and made it seem almost mass produced. Of course, this is a personal preference, but then again, i'm just reviewing it from our own opinion. Mom got a veggie one which wound up being almost all brocolli (which she didn't recall being mentioned in the menu description) and had large chunks of almost raw onion in it. I got a western with sausage and it had the same issue with the onions and the green peppers and the sausage was a frozen patty that had been chopped up and was still kinda cold. My 11yo got a cheese omellette and he thought it was all cheese and didn't like the eggs, finding it "too cheesy" and "not enough eggy". My 15yo got chocolate chip pancakes and they weren't thoroughly cooked with some batter still showing. The ambiance was fine, and plenty of people were coming through for pickup and sitting for breakfast. The service was great and the prices were reasonable. Sure, everyone has their off day, and I'm grateful that they were open. But with so many other breakfast places to explore and choose from, I'm not sure my family will be back.
