    Dolli's is great! I went there and had breakfast with a work associate, and the service and food could not have been any better! 3 Omelette (Bacon, cheddar cheese, spinach& Mushroom) was perfect! It came with potatoes and a biscuit . The Trucker had 3 meats (Bacon, Sausage & Ham) along with eggs, potatoes and toast. I'm not sure you would go wrong ordering anything here, it all looks good. It's not often I get a chance to visit Nacogdoches, Texas but when I do, I will certainly go back to Dolli's. Check out the pictures/Paintings on the wall! Very colorful and makes the place! When in Nac, go to Dolli's. Go get Full

    The food was delicious. I got the create your own omelette with extra cheese and bacon. I will say, though if I were to go here again, I probably would get a different type of cheese rather than American. Also, I might just get the French toast. I tried it from my mom's sandwich, which was some sort of French toast sandwich with egg and ham in between and I have to say the French toast is pretty good. The waiters were kind and the whole restaurant just felt very nostalgic feeling, sort of like a 50s café.

    This is a local place in downtown Nacogdoches. Wonderful food and great service. Many options on pancakes and eggs.

    We are from out of town and saw Dollis Diner on Yelp. I thought we would give jt a try. I'm glad we did. It's our 3rd time coming here, and we are looking forward to coming more before we leave. The food is great, and the price is reasonable, and their specials are great. The service is super, very friendly and on top on our orders and anything we needed. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Cobb salad ($10)

    I have been in the area on bidness a good bit and this is the first recommendation I received from a local that I actually wanted to check out since it was not a fast casual chain closer to the college that was going to be mobbed with college students trying to get a quick bite between games of Beirut or whatever college students do these days. It is next door to City Hall and the firehouse, in ye olde town square. There is a lot of free parking nearby, but since this passes for the high density city centre other people are also coming here, not just you. The first time I attempted to do lunch here there was no parking available among all of that free parking and I even circled the blocks for a while until I finally just went back to the hotel and tried another day. So another day I came back and there was parking available. If at first you don't succeed ... When I first walked in I liked that they had appropriate signage in front that you needed to wait to be seated. Without appropriate signage it is just anarchy. As I was getting seated I saw trash all over the floor underneath some tables along the left wall and those tables looked dirty. When I got seated in the center aisle, my table was a bit sticky, but at least not covered in trash up above or down below. So I suppose that is some of the charm of this joint, if not also the Betty Boop tchotchkes everywhere. The server was a pleasant, attentive young man. I waited what seemed a good long while for my salad. The Cobb salad at $10 was fairly priced with reasonably fresh ingredients. The chicken was bland but it is a salad that you have ordered from a diner with a sticky tabletop so everything about the ambiance and the numerous Betty Books glaring at you should tell you that most people do not mosey on in here and order a salad, everyone else and their mother are getting the pancakes or other things you slather with a bunch of syrup, just like that Three Six Mafia tune. However, this soyboy charts his own path and wanted a salad, presumably the one non-sticky entree ever devoured upon this table. The location in town cannot be beat. The servers are friendly and accommodating. If you are a fan of the Bob's Burgers teevee programme you have heard of a greasy spoon type of place before, well this is a sticky tabletop type of place so your mileage may vary if you order anything that does not need syrup on it. For a salad in this area from a local joint, rather than something out of the various fast foods dotting the area around the SFA campus down the road, you could not do better than here. Things I wished someone explained to me: why all the Betty Boops up in here. The place is called Dolli, not Betty. I need someone to explain this to me because I have an active imagination and I assume the truth is much more interesting than anything I could come up with.

    Dolli's Diner is located on the square in Downtown Nac. We were told we had a 20-25 minute wait, but our table was ready in less than 20 minutes. It was hard to choose between breakfast or lunch, but Hubby and I settled on lunch. I had the Rueben and Hubby the burger. The Rueben was fantastic, and Hubby said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had. Service was friendly and the prices are great value. It is clear to see why Dolli's is a local favorite!

    Great food with large servings. We went on a Monday morning so no wait for a table but I hear weekends can be long waits. Blueberry pancakes were the best I ever had.

    I was passing through and had a craving for good diner food. I found Dolli's and even though there was a wait for a table I decided the menu looked good enough to stick it out. I was not disappointed! The waitress, Zea, was very attentive despite the busy lunch hour and kept my coffee topped off. I ordered migas and a biscuit and the whole meal was absolutely perfect and just what I needed to give me energy for my long drive home. Would definitely stop back in when I'm in town.

    3 egg bacon and cheese omelette with a side of home fries and extra bacon on the side. Topped with some hot sauce. Delicious!

    Bottom Line: Fudge bacon brownie had serious heft, but came…read moreup short on namesake flavors or integrity/structure. Top Line: Picked up a Blue Horse fudge bacon brownie $6 at Brendyn's BBQ yesterday along with a meal, saving the brownie as a treat for today. So returned to Brendyn's this afternoon to get tea for eating the brownie. Brownie is seriously heavy!! Very, very moist beneath the layer of baby chocolate chips and extraordinarily tender of crumb. Too much so I found. The block of chocolate cake-like brownie crumbled into pieces as I tried to pick it up. I finally resorted to pinching off small wads of it to pop into my mouth. While being very moist with oil density, the flavor profile was about on par with a supermarket bakery brownie. Plenty of chocolate taste, but minimal (if any) bacon smokiness shining through. Fudge's buttery brown sugar sweetness or cream's richness were likewise AWOL. So I'd say this was a decent $2.50 brownie. But nowhere near justifying the $6 ticket price I paid to get it, in spite of its moistness. If I'm in the neighborhood of Blue Horse's sticks 'n bricks location I may hit them up for a cupcake or some such to see how that flies. But no more brownies from them for me.

    So four years later (2021 summer), my review remains the same. I actually placed an order for a…read morecake, it looked very nice however it was really dry. I'm not sure why they made it so tall either, is that an "IN" thing? It was hard to cut and honestly didn't even fit a dessert plate LOL. I dunno maybe there's a way to cut that style. My request was last mintute but I don't really thing it would've been a big deal anyway because they had duplicates already on the table. It was okay, I wouldn't order it again though TBH. It's a cute bakery but there needs to be a few improvements on taste/texture. The coffee isn't that great either but there's not really a lot of options around. I know the next day after the Festival there was a coffee truck on the main square and that was GOOD! I can't remember the name of it but if there's a coffee truck in that area, they serve some BAD AS coffee!
