Dolli's Diner — Restaurant in Nacogdoches

Dolli’s Diner

This week for our weekly lunch get together Dolli’s Diner in downtown Nacogdoches was selected. Arrived prior to the lunch crowd and seating was no problem. Parking nearby is tight but easy to find free parking that is available even with a short walk.

The diner is charming with artwork and posters on display. The restroom is clean and fully stocked. Always important to me in an eatery.

Service was the best part of the afternoon. Even better than the food and the food is good and tasty. Our drinks received additional pours without having to make a request; always nice. Any questions were honestly answered about the food. Portions were not large but adequate and the cost is reasonable. Menu is very diversified and breakfast is served all day. At lunch for sure and that is always nice when you desire a late breakfast. Orders and the delivery of the food was done in a short period of time considering the restaurant was very busy.

On my first visit here I ordered the Club Sandwich. The size was moderate. I was expecting something larger but the taste made up for the size. Although the menu states it is served on Texas Toast the bread size was much smaller than my experience with Texas Toast. It consisted of Ham, Turkey, Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato, and pickles. Completely enjoyed the sandwich. Requested a substitute in place of fries or the frozen type onion rings that was listed in other Reviews. No problem! Was presented with a nice mixed salad with requested Balsamic dressing. Nice substitute over fried food.

My lunch partner did Breakfast. Ordered Eggs, Ham, and Potatoes with Toast. He enjoyed his selection and his plate was completely cleared of all food at the end of lunch.

Over and above the tasty food was the service. Will seek out our server on a...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dolli's Diner in Nacogdoches, TX, and I have to say, it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From start to finish, the entire experience was fantastic.

First and foremost, the food was absolutely delicious. The menu had a great selection of classic diner fare, and everything we ordered was prepared to perfection. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. It was clear that the chefs at Dolli's Diner take great pride in their work, and it showed in the taste and presentation of the food.

But what really set Dolli's Diner apart was the level of service we received. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations. She was attentive without being overbearing, and she made us feel right at home.

In addition to the great food and service, I also appreciated the ambiance of Dolli's Diner. It had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, with a retro feel that added to the overall experience. It was the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or family, and I could see myself coming back time and time again.

Dollie’s Diner is iconic Nacogdoches for sure. It’s located in the heart of historic downtown, the atmosphere is great and the service is wonderful; however, in my opinion the food could use some improvement. Hear me out…

Much of my critique may be personal preference, but I believe it’s has merit. This morning I ordered the Mexican omelette, the omelette itself tasted ok, but there were some shortfalls. The omelette was more of a scramble, which is ok, but the cheese was a single slice of barely melted cheese resting on the top. With slightly more effort, and better results, the cheese could have been incorporated more evenly within the omelette. The Mexican omelette was served with toast that was cold and hard, and had obviously been toasted ahead of time. The softened butter was spread on the toast and didn’t melt into the toast at all because of the temperature and hardness. With slightly more effort, the toast could have been toasted fresh and served warm. At many places the Mexican breakfasts are served with tortillas, am I wrong here? I did request tortillas, but the only tortillas they had were larger than the plate itself. This particular dish would be improved with smaller, taco-size, tortillas.

To many this may all be nit picky, but it’s the small things that make a restaurant great. I’ll most likely dine at Dollie’s again, because it just feels good to eat there; but there are ways that their food could...
