The biggest problem with Dollies isn't the food, it's the wait time. No matter when you order the food simply takes forever to come out. The most recent time I was there my party ordered two burgers and some fries, simple enough. Forty five minutes later the food was not ready and the amount of time left for the food was left nebulous, at best. So, we had to leave to a prior appointment and come back.
This was not the first time this had happened to me at Dollies, but each time it did I convinced myself that this must have been because of some other thing going on. But, as they say, once is an event, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern. After multiple times dealing with this I just have no more patience. Burgers and fries should not take that long.
The food itself is good. Burgers are moist, toppings are fine. The high point is undeniably the sauces, which are delicious! The juices are hit and miss, some amazing some bland.
To loop back though, they may be good but they're not great, certainly not to the point of where they take the time they're asking for. They also push the bound of reasonability for the price. Vegan options abound in Houston, and Dollies competitors offer better quality food, and more of it, for the same price.
As such, I really can't recommend Dollie's. If you want burgers or rich vegan food I'd recommend either the Houston Sauce Pit or Lindiana's, which will both give similar food truck experiences but with a lot more value per dollar spent. They're also both in the neighborhood.
If you're at Blodgett food hall already, maybe it's worth the order. I would order ahead if you could, but their fried food is only good fresh out of the frier, and who wants to take that risk?
If you do go, get the fried mushrooms, which are amazing. And try a juice, you'll...
Read moreWas in Houston Oct 6 through the 10th and was looking for a nice Vegan place to eat when I came across Dollies. Reviews looked good and so I ordered two Vegan BLTs with additions and an order of vegan chili fries. As we were hungry and couldn’t wait to devour it. Then the food arrived. It was cold and the sandwiches were not correct and the chili fries came with no utensils. I called the bistro and told them what had happened and they seemed upset that I called them to tell them of the mistake. They didn’t offer to make our order again and asked me what I wanted to do. I asked them if we can just get a new meal and they replied back to me with a we will just refund you back. To this day I have not seen the refund. The hospitality in Texas was great unfortunately the hospitality at this bistro...
Read moreI been eating here for about 2months .. great food I thought I found me a vegan home untill.....June 18th ordered a burger, fries, and a drink. When it arrived the bag was stapled together, I opened the bag and no fries, the juice was there, the burger was there but somebody took a couple of bites and wrapped it back up..That was very disrespectful and goes against companies policies and morals , sent an email requesting full refund and they only gave me partial and didn’t even give an apology for that cruel act. Definitely shows that the customer is not important.. BE CAREFUL...
