Lived here for five years and finally, finally we made it. There is nothing fancy or contrived. But this a world class adventure of old school breakfasts(oh my gawd, the lunches looked good too), happy you came servers(so fun.) It's a place whose likes hardly exist anymore. The place where the coffee is poured as soon as you sit, the waitresses call you hon, and you are basically a regular from the second you take it in read more

Dolly Varden's Cafe - Walk into home - New American Near Me - Medford, Oregon

I often stop at Dolly's! I recommend their chili- the best in town!! The entire menu is excellent and the service is on time and friendly! Try it- you'll like it‍ read more

So old diner feel...food is amazing and very reasonably priced...maybe the best biscuit I have ever eaten...great coffee also

A solid breakfast joint. Friendly staff. Service was fast and impeccable. Their pancakes are light, fluffy, and tasty! Eggs are fresh and cooked to your liking. My husband ordered their corned beef hash and enjoyed it. Someone in our party ordered the chorizo, which was more of an Americanized version of chorizo so I would not get that again. The interior of the cafe is quaint and a throw back in time to a point it feels real, as if I will see people walk in dressed in a different era. This is something you don't get often enough these days as most restaurants are remodeled and modern. read more

Fello Californian here , 1) I just want to say thank you to the FRIENDLY STAFF for treating us ( Latino Family ) like a regular human! 2) food was amazing, you can taste the freshness My family and I came up here for the weekend. Just a quick trip. Right before heading back home we stopped by to have breakfast. Best decision we've made. As soon as we walked in (5 of us) we were automatically greeted, people were smiling and all friendly. We felt welcomed. Usually when going out as a big crew we get stared at. Poor service etc. Just overall rude. NOT this place! From the bottom of our hearts we want to say thank you. Service was great and quickly. Moms and I ordered : French toast double , comes with egg , your choice of bacon or sausage Dad ordered; huevos rancheros Little brother ordered: dolly favorite I believe it's called: short stack with egg and bacon & lastly my boyfriend ordered the BEST biscuit and sausage gravy we have tried. Definitely will be coming back each time we come up. read more

Dolly Varden's Cafe - Enjoying family time - New American Near Me - Medford, Oregon

You'll notice that most of the reviews for Dolly Varden's are from regulars and neighbors. That's not a surprise, it's an unassuming place. But speaking as a visitor (I'm from Portland), it's an excellent place if you're looking for a good diner breakfast. Planning to do a long day of moving stuff or shopping in Medford? Fortify yourself at Varden's. The cafe has a cozy, traditional diner feel and decor. I recommend sitting at the padded stools at the counter for the full effect; you'll get a chance to exchange small talk with the server. Options include both the basics (eggs, bacon, pancakes), as well as slightly more interesting options (zucchini/sausage/pepper scramble). For vegetarians, I heartily recommend the Spanish Omelet. read more

This is the first time I've been here. Nine of us dropped in for breakfast. Laurie, our server, is on top of it. My coffee cup hasn't had a chance to get low. Breakfast is coming ... looks great. I'm gonna keep this short. A Very Satisfying dining experience. read more

Was my first time here, the food was a bit pricey as well as the coffee, it was a good experience overall Also, my vegetarian son was somewhat displeased, not a large variety for people like him But he enjoyed it regardless Service was great and the food was pretty good read more

Love this little cafe! I usually get the special but if not, there are several menu items the Thai salad is great! Spanish omelet is right on! read more

Decided to try this place after my aunt came here and loved it. The place itself is unimpressive, I would not have come in if I had just seen it. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food was good. We had biscuit and gravy, I loved them my husband thought they were decent but not great. We also had french toast, it was good. The bread was a little thin, but it still tasted fantastic. My husbands eggs were great, cooked perfectly. The bacon was thicker, better quality and good. We plan on coming back to try other dishes. read more

Just stopped in after being gone for some time, Still as great as ever. Especially my choice of Spanish omelet- very good. And the coffee was super, always fill my mug, always hot. Waitress was friendly and quick. Try it - you'll love it.... Enjoy. read more

Gene and his crew do a great job! When we head out for breakfast Dolly Varden's is our go to choice in Medford. Prices are good and the food is fresh and tasty. My go to is ham, eggs and pancakes and my wife can't get passed the chicken fried steak. Great food, good people. read more

First timers dinning here. Very friendly staff great food and fresh tasting coffee. I had the ham and eggs, great tasting ham and the eggs were cooked to my liking. I had a side of gravy to sample and it was very good as well. We will be stopping by here for something to eat in the future. A big store with great deals is a couple of doors down so when we are done there we might try some of Dolly Varden's lunch menu. read more

I have been dining at Dolly Vardens for a few years now and it is simply wonderful.... Great Service, Great food, everything is fresh and prepared very well... Pricing is fair and there is a seniors menu that has smaller portions if you prefer a lighter meal.... read more

We have a second house in medford, 4 yrs ago we tried the local cafe, if you want good consistant food and service, Dollys is for you. You won't be disappointed read more

Comfort food. Breakfast, sandwiches, burgers. Classic, standard American fare. Tasty.

The food was good and the portions are huge! Service was good too; our coffees stayed full during our whole breakfast. I had the veggie omelet and my boyfriend had the Spanish omelet. Both were good but the Spanish omelet was amazing!! Excited about this newly found place near our home. read more

I just popped in to Dolly's for a quick lunch before shopping, and had my usual French dip. It is always good, consistent, and reasonably priced. Our family enjoys breakfast here once a month or so. The "daily double" is one of the best values in town, and our kid's favorite. The owner, Gene, is always around and will even warm up our coffee! He is very personable and the wait staff is always friendly. We have been coming here for 20 years since moving to the area, and have never been disappointed. The quality of the food and service has never changed. read more

Mediocre, at best. Nothing here is remotely healthy or high quality. To their benefit, I've never seen them make a claim of either. One plus is that they're never busy, so it usually isn't much of a wait. I would Conner here again in a pinch. I've been three times previously, only because it was close to my home and a good meeting spot. But the prices are a bit out tere for the basic, greasy spoon fare that you get. read more

Had a chili burger and she had a pancake and egg breakfast. Everything about both meals was bland and thoughtless. The server was fine, no real complaints there. Just the food that was so unimpressive and lackluster. Jimmy Dean links, canned chili, etc... read more

One star is generous. This was by far the WORST service I have ever experienced. We wanted to try somewhere new for a special occasion and were sorely disappointed. Not only was there a long black hair cooked into my scrambled eggs but when it was brought to the attention of, I assume, the owner he said that it wasn't their fault! The hair didn't come from their kitchen! We were so offended by his tone and non apologetic service we left. For the record I could see all the cooks in his kitchen and not one of them had a hair net. And for an owner or manager to come up to his patrons telling them that this was not the restaurants fault was completely appalling. Just bring the paying customer new eggs! read more

dolly varden cafe is wonderful!!!!! this is a little cafe with amazing home cooked food. the cooks make the best poached , over easy, sunny-side-up or scrambled eggs which are always perfect. your order always comes exactly as you asked for. their hash browns and o'briens are fabulous. they make a fresh soup every day. they have specials like beef stroganoff, chili rellenos , mushroom burgers, with amazing cole slaw or homemade potato salad. you will also find homemade desserts like apple pie, blackberry pie, key lime pie, pumpkin spice cheesecake, german chocolate cake, carrot cake and the list goes on and on. you are missing the gem of southern oregon if you have not tried it. oh, and lets not forget the new owner and his staff. they are the very best!!!!!!!!!!!! you will forget all the other cafes in town after you try it. be one of the regulars there. terry ferrari p. read more

The waitress was very rude and acted like she didn't want to even take the time to hear our order. The highlight of which was our waitress sneering at us. Food was sub par. I had a cheeseburger and fries. Both were pre formed frozen and tasted bland and dry. read more

My girlfriend and I have been consistent customers of dolly's for the past year now, and they never cease to impress us. Great service, great food, great price! When they have a handful of customers or a full house, you'll always have a full cup of coffee and food promptly. We've bounced around almost the whole breakfast menu and there hasn't been one dish we haven't liked. They always have your ticket ready as soon as the food is out, hardly keep you waiting, and a personable staff who make you feel at home! And with such hearty portions, it's become our ideal meaning of a diner. read more

Best bisquits and gravy in town!!!!! We rise and shine early Saturday mornings to be first for them. Hottest spot in town. The waitresses are the friendlyiest you'll ever find. read more

Been eating at Dolly's for years and love the homey atmosphere. The owner works the room like an old friend and the service is always friendly. My family loves the Chicken Fried Steak but I love the Huevos Rancheros. The food is always great and the coffee the best. Recommend this café with no reservation. read more
