I spent several years frequently eating breakfast at Dagwood's on Southwest traffic way when I was working over there in the late 90's and early 00's. I just moved into the area, and was delighted to find that a Dagwood's had opened up here a year ago. I was worried it would not live up to the memories of that little cafe, but it does, with more seating and a casual and friendly atmosphere. Walking back through all my old favorites, I have been pleasantly delighted so far! If I had a complaint... they don't have heavy cream for the coffee (but few places do). Thats a me problem everywhere I go. And I do have to say that the cinnamon roll is nothing to gush over. Maybe even a little dry. Otherwise, this is an immediate staple for myself and my family. It feels warm and comfortable and just a great place to meet for breakfast/brunch any day except Monday!

"Great diner for breakfast and lunch"? Did we eat at the same place? Let me correct the record for…read moreanyone misled by this review. Portions: Calling them "small" would be generous. My plate looked like a kid's meal, and I left hungry. Not what I expect when paying adult prices. Overcooked food: My eggs were rubbery, the bacon was brittle, and the hash browns were burnt on the outside and raw inside. "Perfect" is a fantasy word here. Had to ask for bread yes, you read that right. They don't even bring toast with breakfast unless you beg for it. Basic diner fail. Attentive service? The staff was too busy chatting to notice empty coffee cups or check on food quality. And here's the saddest part: I'd rather go to IHOP and get the wrong order than come back here. At least IHOP fixes it without attitude, and you actually get enough food. I want to support local businesses. But not ones that serve overcooked, overpriced scraps and can't even remember to bring bread. This place didn't replace the old favorite it just lowered the bar. THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR FOLLOWING REVIEWERS TOTALLY MY PERSONAL OPINION

The restaurant is easily accessible and there is plenty of parking. Rae's is located in a strip mall and there appeared to be significant amount of traffic. There weren't many people eating, just some regulars but it made for a peaceful dining experience. Plenty of breakfast options to choose from for a meal. I ordered a side pancake and the waitress gave me a look. She said "Honey, these are big!" I thanked her for the warning and told her I loved leftovers. lol The food was great and the pancakes were huge. Very satisfying and comforting food. Hit the spot on a cold January day. Prices were very reasonable and well within range. One happy customer!

I don't usually like breakfast potatoes. I do now. The potatoes were bite sized, had the skins on them, were seasoned, but not hot. The potatoes were well cooked but not mushy had a crisp exterior. What I really enjoyed was my biscuit and Gravy. The Gravy was perfect. It had me thinking about how delish it was later in the week. There was enough food to take home fir a second meal. There is a homey feel to the restaurant and the manager waits tables!! Mr. G. Reported an issue with the men's restroom and it was attended to immediately. Definite going back when I want Biscuits and Gravy.

The lady over the phone stated the wait was no more than 15 minutes so we decided to head over. Upon arrival they were pretty packed but we managed to be seated right away for a party of 3. A lady walked over and took our drink order. I asked for coffee with cream and she pointed to the end of the table to a bowl that had creamer in it. She didn't say anything just pointed. I thought that was sort of rude but whatever... After she left another waitress came over and took our food order. She was much kinder which was appreciated. We ordered an omelette, pancakes, bacon, eggs and biscuits with gravy. Food arrived in a timely manner and the waitress checked on us from time to time. Overall it was an average experience. Food was decent, and service was okay.

Plus, the building used to be a bank, so you get to enjoy your coffee next to an old vault! We were seated right away, and our server was super friendly and attentive. They kept our coffee cups full, which was great! I loved their clever idea of using white mugs for regular coffee and black mugs for decaf--that made it so easy to tell them apart. We decided to share a sweet roll ($4.19), and oh my goodness, it was definitely big enough for two! For my main, I had the tenderfoot breakfast, which comes with two eggs and either toast or a biscuit. I chose the marble rye toast, and wow, it was absolutely delicious. The over-easy eggs were cooked just right, too. Such a delightful meal!

My husband and I had lunch here today, and it was absolutely DELIGHTFUL!…read moreI am very impressed with how WELL the staff work together. They absolutely have the processes of this little restaurant honed to perfection, and even during a busy lunch time kept things humming so that there was minimal wait time (to order, for the food to be brought out, and to pay for our meal). Many, MANY thanks to Robert, who seated us, took our order, brought our food out, and settled our bill. He was friendly, efficient, and so welcoming. It was a joy to watch him work; he made sure to greet each and every customer coming in the door, and was consistently so upbeat and positive. And many, MANY thanks to Tony at the grill! Our food was FANTASTIC!! I have high standards for Mediterranean food, and the falafel wrap was totally delicious! The falafel itself was perfectly cooked, with a crispy outer layer, and the other ingredients in the wrap were chosen for a perfect melding of flavors. I had the side salad, with homemade Thai peanut dressing, and it was equally tasty. My husband had the patty melt, which came on homemade bread (!) and was, per his report, perfectly done. His side was tater tots, and we shared them. They were crisp and light without being greasy, and addictively yummy! The restaurant is in a strip center; it's not very big, but the tables are well placed so that no one feels cramped. The open reception area and kitchen/grill make it easy for the staff to respond to what's happening in the dining room (e.g., new folks arriving). It was a truly memorable meal, and we'll definitely be back! Again, MANY thanks to Robert and Tony for such a great lunch. We appreciate you!

This spot is owned by the same team behind Kate's Kitchen up north--which I've always found fantastic--and I'm happy to report this location is on that same elite wavelength. The Experience: The atmosphere is clean and impressively airy, making for a great morning vibe. Both the hostess and server were exceptionally engaging, even providing a personal water pitcher for the table--a small touch that makes a huge difference. The Food: Chicken Fried Chicken: This is the real deal. It was clearly prepared fresh, not frozen, which is a rarity these days. The Sides: The home potatoes were perfectly crispy, and the gravy was thick, peppery, and hit all the right notes. The Biscuit: This "super-sized" biscuit was essentially the icing on the cake. The Eggs: I ordered my eggs poached soft. They arrived a bit too soft (runny yolk was the goal, but these were just under), though in fairness, that's likely on me for the specific request! Verdict: If you want a breakfast that feels home-cooked with high-quality ingredients and attentive service, this is the place. I'll definitely be back for their famous French toast and medium poached eggs .

The waffle was very nice, the bananas were ok and the bacon could be crispier but I forgot to ask for extra crispy so that's probably my fault The service was good and the ambiance was nice. Also easy to find the bathroom so that's a win Overall pretty good I would give 4.5 stars but I can't so yeah pretty good you should go. Byeeeeeeeee

It wasn't the most friendly service but she had knowledgeable of the menu, except for the sauce on the seasonal item that my friend and I ordered, Chipotle Steak Hash.

Even without the chips or queso this was a great meal. The steak was so tender and the potatoes soft but not mushy. We also ordered mimosas which were just okay but come with a mini bottle of Barefoot champagne, so no complaints from us
