Breakfast this past Tuesday morning at Mindy's. Everything was done to perfection! Don't pass this place by when in Dover

Kayla P.

We made a stop at Mindy's today and were very pleased with our experience. We had great food at a reasonable price and very friendly service. My daughter loved the Micky Mouse pancake and kids menu options. We both ordered breakfast items and everything was delicious. We will definitely stop back!

Stopped here on our way out of town on Friday morning. Great service, good food, cute decor...would come back for sure! Waitress was new but super sweet. No issues.

If for no other reason, go here for the homemade bread. I feel like Oprah when I say "I love bread," but seriously, I never knew I could love white bread toast so much. I regretted that I didn't order the French toast, just to have this bread in every form. I'll be back for French toast and every sandwich on the menu. In other highlights, the cheesey hashbrowns are a cheese lovers dream! So yummy. My husband loved his scramble and my eggs were perfect!

Staff was rude. I had 9.25 breakfast- eggs were rubber and burnt. The bacon was raw. No coffee refills. Not busy! We also bought breakfast for a veteran and the staff seemed irritated by our kindness. We're from Texas visiting...guess our southern hospitality doesn't count here! Rude people. Sad especially on a Blessed Sunday. read more

Our server Becky was pleasant and attentive to diners who all seemed to be regulars. Even as a newbie I felt at home.

If you want a meal that isn't very good and also overpriced, go ahead and go there but if not avoid it all costs! I'm saying this because of my past experience. The employees were good but the food on the other hand, . And the prices, ‍ HORRIBLE! I would give zero stars but I wouldn't be able to warn you guys if not.

Both of them were surprisingly tasty. I never order wraps so I was happy to enjoy them. I had the pear salad with a balsamic dressing that was good. The desserts on the other hand were ok at best.

I tried both the strawberry shortcake which seemed to be a bit too dry and didn't have enough strawberry flavor and the lemon bar which my friend enjoyed but I thought was ok. Just didn't have enough lemon flavor or the lemon gooeyness that I'm used to. The staff was friendly and attentive.
