It wasn't bad, it wasn't great. The brand of root beer probably to blame. Coming back home, we stopped again.

Ordered the KC steak special and requested medium rare. I can tell as soon as it was delivered it was going to be overcooked. Sure enough it was more of medium to medium well.

The staff members are always very friendly. The food is served fresh and hot and has nice portions. With the coupons and discounts we have lunch or big breakfasts for both at 12 - 15 $.

Today's lunch for two that is pictured costs $12.26 with water to drink. What a great deal! Nice and cool in the summer and nice and warm in the winter. It's a regular stop for us.

It's much less common than a waffle house and it sounds much more cuddly. They have a very similar menu - I think it was copied. It's all about the hash browns all the way, especially with extra chili all over them.

What a pleasant surprise! After driving for a couple hours my wife and I were looking for something other than the franchise restaurants to eat at. After driving all over town we came across Do-Bee's. When we went inside and looked at the menu we knew this was going to be a meal to remember. My wife had a burger smothered with mushrooms and I had something called "The Stinger", a burger loaded with all kinds of peppers....my favorite. Added an order of onion rings and we were good to go...only we didn't go, but stayed and got acquainted with the family that owns the place. We hung around until after they closed and were so impressed that we came back the next morning (Saturday) to try their breakfast. Needless to say, the breakfast is as good as the supper. A great place with great food and wonderful people. read more

Do-B's is a place where you can go and be counted among friends. By my third trip in I was greeted by name and made to feel very welcome.

THE CROWD All walks of life. Child-friendly. Very energetic and friendly employees. THE BILL Munchies, $2 to $6; The Greens, $4 to $10; Special B's, $5 to $9; Philly Cheesesteaks, $7 to $10; Louisiana-Style Po-Boys, $9 to $10; Specials, $6 to $10; Desserts, $4. WHAT WE LIKED From the menu: Bosco Stick, Seasoned Fries, Spartan and Maui Waui Cheesesteaks, Chickey Strips, Tiramisu.

Some of the best poboys and wings I've ever had. I've scarcely found wings that challenge my spice tolerance, this place does not mess around. There's a great laid back atmosphere and helpful staff. One of my go to's when I was in the area, and honestly Kansas's biggest asset in my opinion. Feel proud to be repping their t shirts and spreading the good word all across Michigan. If I ever go to Kansas again this restaurant will be a main reason. read more
