Always have fantastic service and amazing food. Sometimes it can take a minute for the food to come out but man once it does, you don't even care because it's that good. Thank you guys for being awesome read more

Friendly server in what looks and feels like a good ol' boy diner in the country (not a bad thing). Food was decent but not memorable. Biscuits seemed to be of frozen quality, omelette was decent but not very large for $20. Hash browns were decent but again nothing to be excited about. May try lunch here, may not. read more

I have tried Mr Doug's twice now the first time ordered an omelette it no real taste, guess they use baking soda to make the omelette look larger when back a 2nd time ordered the steak and eggs. the menu listed price $19 with a 5 or 6oz steak I was never asked if I wanted the larger steak, the waitress took it upon herself to make that decision... ordered eggs over easy, cooked somewhere between medium and hard. when the bill arrived I saw I was charged for a 10oz steak total was $30 honestly it wasn't the best steak have crossed Mr Doug's off my list... read more

The food was good. This is first time I've had questionable service At Doug's. And I question the cleanliness. First I asked if I could order off the kids menu because I just didn't want to waste food. She said it's a rule that I have to have kids to order the food. Then she seemed annoyed that I asked for extra napkins and dipping sauce for my fry's. Then she didn't top off our drinks, not once. And the. She handed me a box to put my leftovers away n and when I finished putting my food in it and closed it there was hair and crumbs all over the outside. That part of the box never touched the table so the crumbs came from the kitchen and I'm sure the hair did too. All she said was, ( "oh now I feel bad" ) Really? Should I have said nothing to make you feel better. It makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like and maybe the need to train the server's more. read more

Mr. Dougs - This is the box with hair on it and some crumbs. Some of it fell off as I moved the box. Unfortunately my food was inside. I left it there. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yelm, Washington

My husband and i absolutely love this place! We've been here for breakfast a couple times now and have had wonderful food and service each time, it's a cute little place and the Photo Booth is a fun touch! read more

We got suckered into visiting because there were Christmas lights out and for Sis who likes to do one Christmas thing every day during advent, it counted. I tried the patty melt and it was a solid winner. Our server was young, friendly, and very sweet. It's a diner, so it's diner grade food, but it's also a nice place to get a bite. read more

This place is pretty darn good. I live in the area and it has been a minute since we have been in. Three of us dropped in for breakfast Saturday morning. The server staff is friendly. The coffee is really good and the options are good. The breakfast was served hot which is nice. We were on a build on spot so it was a little cool for me. But hey, I'm old so those things I notice. We had the omelette and corn beef hash and hamburger. Portions are medium size and processed is ok. Good solid breakfast place. read more

Came here on a Sunday for lunch. Service was decent. As for the food, Think way better than Denny's or Sherries, but it's not going to knock your socks off. I ordered the taco omelette and overall, the meal was good. If you're someone who likes large portions, this will probably disappoint. read more

We are visiting the area in yelm and have been here for approximately six weeks. We decided to have Sunday breakfast at mr dougs this morning and what surprise. Although we had to wait awhile for our food because it was quite crowded, it was worth the wait. Food was great and the service was exceptional. Thhe waitress was very polite. The restaurant itself was fairly roomy and good atmosphere for a family restaurant. Very happy we checked this one out. We will definitely go back here for a meal. read more

We came in at 4pm on a Sunday. We sat down, ordered lemonades. Then a minute later they come by to inform us that they are about to close. Mind you, we passed by 2 waiters before we sat down AND we were allowed to order before we were even made aware of this. And it didn't seem like an emergency either. It's fine that they were about to close but not telling us before letting us order is egregious. This happened a couple months ago, but either way, terrible service for that reason. read more

Great breakfast/lunch place! Always quick service with a smile! Never disappointed. Convient hours

Today the food was outstanding. Special was 1/2 lb chicken fried steak, served with 2 eggs, hash browns and toast. Was served steaming hot, crunchy golden brown crust, hash browns cooked perfect. I had the ultimate scramble (ham, bacon and cheese) served on top of biscuits covered in gravy. They were packed but food hot and delicious, Ashly a great server. Nice and friendly! Wish I had taken a picture. I have not always had the best food here but today it was outstanding! Service is always great! read more

Great food and service with a smile. Real down home atmosphere with good portions for the price. Had bacon & eggs with hash browns. Everything was cooked to perfection with amazing crisp bacon and the hash browns were crispy as they should be. read more

The food has NEVER disappointed, but it's Jaime that makes the place shine, she always smiles, is efficient and friendly and handles a crowded dining room with grace. Shout out to Jolene as well, the ample portions served. read more

This is our go to place. Very friendly and comfortable. Jamie really takes care of our " breakfast club". Great service with Jolene, Nora and the others as well. I like trying their Friday night specials. read more

My husband and I went here for breakfast this morning and it was incredible. My husband got the chicken fried steak and I got the French toast with hash browns. Everything was so filling, I couldn't even finish my French toast! Portions are great for the price and service is awesome. We will definitely be back every month for a breakfast date here Thank you Nora for outstanding service! read more

Busy place and figured food would be good Wrong! Ordered hot turkey sandwich which was sliced deli turkey and not much of it on bread with gravy Starter salad was smallest Ive ever seen Very disappointing meal I should have gone to burger king across the street Told waitress and all she could say was they weigh it out Never go back read more

The waitress was nice, she was the only good part of the meal. We usually get pretty good service and food here. But lately it has been hit and miss. And tonight was an all time low and I wouldn't be returning any time soon. They have a sign on the door that they are hiring cooks and I hope they find better ones soon. We all 3 got Chicken Fried Steak meals, clam chowder soup, and drinks. The soup was barely warm, we are and said nothing because it still tasted good. The chicken fried steak had a thin water gravy on top that ran all over the plate. The toast was barely brown and cold/hard. Eggs were ok the only good part. The worst part was the hash browns, they were brown on top and super under cook on the bottom. at that point. We did point it out to the waitress and she said that is how our gravy comes. I said nope we ate the same meal here 2 weeks ago and it didn't look like this. She asked if we want something else. We declined because the food soured my stomach and I didn't trust the cook to cook my food a 2nd time. We received a check for the drinks and soups. No plans to eat here again any time soon. Hopefully it was just an off night. read more

I have been getting the Philly cheese with aju dip for a while and today was a miss for them. The sandwich was dry asf and looked to be left out a bit longer than it should, when i got there for pick up the ladies forgot my drinks and went back to grab them and returned with 1 (I ordered 2) she was reminded and went back to get it, I said should I check the food also to make sure its all there jokingly and she replied with no, I've checked its all there.....Nope missing ketchup, aju sauce and they really added alot ice to one of the cups. Paid over 50$ and i am disappointed. read more

Mr. Dougs - The portion around the end of the steaks looked like this. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yelm, Washington

Tried to give this place another chance....will not ever happen again!! Who charges for sauce to dip your chicken strips in? I have never been charged for a dipping sauce before. Maybe extra dipping sauce...but not the sauce that would normally come with the meal. And....it's 99 cents....so add another dollar to your meal if you don't want dry chicken strips. Fried Chicken dinner is $14.99 on the menu but when your bill comes....note that they try to charge $17.98. So then they give you a 30% gift credit if you even notice they over charge you. It was freezing cold and super uncomfortable in the place as well. Everyone had their jackets on. They should use some of that dipping sauce $ to turn on the heat. All this without even mentioning the horrible quality of both chicken dinners. Super disappointed. read more

$27 , yes there are not many choices in Yelm, but come. That price is ridiculous for 2 plain waffles and 4 pieces of bacon. I tried to give another chance, I'm done!! Pass it on by ! read more

Mr. Dougs - $27 for 2 orders of a single waffle and 4 pieces of cheap bacon! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yelm, Washington

Blah! I heard some great things so when we tried it I was so disappointed. The meat was so gummy it tasted like it was heated up in the microwave. read more

Dennise was great and took good care of us. The veggie omelette was filled with so many vegetables, it was so filling. Usually, a few vegetables are placed here-and-there, but not this one. The hash browns were cooked perfectly and not greasy at all. I don't know how we missed this place last time we were here. read more

You can't beat their breakfast they are fantastic you always have to wait in line so be prepared but they are excellent. And my husband is addicted to their club sandwich on a hoagie roll he can't get enough of he's been waiting and waiting for everything to open up so we can go back up and get some they are wonderful read more

This place is wonderful. It was a perfect place to take my grandsons after a movie. Excellent service and food. The typical family restaurant atmosphere. I will definitely come here again. read more

food was cold not cooked and they never put the country gravy on the bisquits and it was not in the bag. tried a lunch thought it might be better, some of the worst food I have ever eaten. This includes bad cold fast food. THE VERY WORST IN FOOD AND PRICING. read more

Do you have a-lot of time on your hands? If you do then maybe you should try this place. We were seated quickly but after that it was excruciatingly slow. Asked for 3 waters it to at least 10 minutes to appear. We were going to leave at the hour mark. Then food came out.........It was 57minutes 3 minutes to spare! The good news was the food was hot so at least the food wasn't sitting around. They must need kitchen help. The food was good and the pancakes were excellent. The only complaint related to the food was the hash browns were undercooked. read more

Sadly my first experience wasn't anything good. I called in my order and was told 30-35min. I arrived around 20 minutes later, knowing I'd have a small wait. No one even acknowledged me when I walked in, when someone finally came over, I had to practically give a play by play on how to pay and pick up. I now was in the restaurant for approximately 15 minutes and there was no direction on where to wait or if my order was close to being done. Finally another waitress came out to inform me my order wouldn't be done for another 25-35 minutes. I asked if the order had even started and she shrugged and said "probably not" and would I want to wait it out. I said I'd already paid and she said "oh bummer". By this time, I've invested $28 for two burgers and about 45 additional minutes. Once I received my order the burger was soggy, way too much thousand island and to top it off they did not even ask how I wanted my patty cooked. I won't be coming back. read more

We ordered takeout, the person we spoke with was friendly and helpful. The food was ready exactly when they predicted and tasty. Portions are huge, if your appetite is small you'll want to share. read more

They always have fantastic food and service! They make their restaurant feel welcoming with constant laughter and very friendly regulars and staff. I highly recommend! read more

My husband and I went in for breakfast today and left disappointed and hungry. When we arrived, we were promptly seated and brought our drink requests (coffee and OJ). We were not warned that there was apparently a large group and that our food might take awhile. After a reasonable amount of time the waitress took our order, again nothing was said about the possible wait time. We waited for an hour for our food and decided to leave. The food was brought out as we were in line to pay for the coffee and leave. We were charged the full amount because it had been made. This restaurant used to be prompt and friendly, now guests wait over an hour for food. read more

Mr. Dougs has been in Yelm for a very long time, the food & service has gone completely downhill. Customer service is terrible, when your food comes something will definitely be cold or undercooked. After the Facebook complaints I realized it wasn't just happening when I went & I have no idea how they are still in business! read more

The food was great ! Host was very robot like only word she spoke was "Two" we were seated quickly however and greeted by a wonderful Jamie who was very attentive and answered any questions "two" had , ambiance was nice and comfortable . Only complaint is that ... and reason way I may not go back is there is a surcharge of 5.00 to share your meal with someone, as if if two people order the same meal but can only eat half of each never seen this before , seems wasteful. read more

Not sure what they did the last year but the food was fantastic. Servers were very friendly and prices for the amount of food were excellent. Keep doing what ever you started to do. read more

Stopped in for a dinner. Read the reviews prior to going. Pleasantly surprised as we had prompt and courteous service from all staff. Food came hot from the kitchen and fries were crispy. Patty melt and grilled chicken sandwiches were delicious. Will definitely pop back in and try some more. read more

We love Mr Doug's! Great breakfast place, especially for families. Prices are good and serving sizes are generally large for breakfast. We eat there at least once a week for breakfast and also lunch. Wonderful staff! We have found another family there.! read more

Every time we go the servers are so friendly and welcoming. The food is always delicious, and wait times are short. We will keep coming to Doug's! read more

Pretty much one of the only breakfast places in Yelm now. Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly, and service is great. Portion sizes are huge. Their kids pancake is in the shape of Mickey Mouse. I had biscuits and gravy and asked if the gravy was made from scratch. Waitress said yes, but it definitely wasn't. I love biscuits and gravy and don't usually order if it's not completely homemade, so that was kind of lame. Biscuits were really good though. read more
