My husband, our aunt and I went to Doyles this evening. They were happy with their entree. I was not. We have been going to Doyles for a very long time and don't remember ever having a bad meal. Tonight was a disappointment, mostly for me anyway. The rolls were dry and the cornbread lacked taste. I ordered the 2-piece fried chicken entree not the AUCE. I do have to say the chicken was juicy, what there was of it. There was a lot of skin and barely any chicken. It may have been suitable for an AUCE but when you order an entree, I would expect it to be a normal serving. The sides of mashed potatoes and beets were great. The rice pudding left a lot to be desired. The rice was undercooked and it lacked flavor. I think a dollop of whipped cream would have been nice.

My friend and I stopped for breakfast on Sunday, spur of the moment. I had my heart set on cream chipped beef. The dish was served quick with a side of breakfast potatoes. We loved the authentic 50s dining car in the original portion of the restaurant. Highly recommend!

Great place to stop if you want a quaint little place to eat. They have a good selection of food and the wait staff are super nice. They have really nice decorations so the atmosphere is great. Id reccomend coming here at least once.

Went for breakfast it was a very expensive breakfast, but it was, for the most part, good . Wait, staff was mediocre at best and was definitely just putting in her time. Overall, it was just ok
My very first visit to this Restaurant, very friendly staff, waitress was very attentive and deserved the kind words. First impression was when the put the fresh bread on the table, zucchini bread, corn bread and warm rolls! Outstanding! Shortly after the food came. One at the table had fried clams. With fries. Plenty of them and crunchy taste good! Second was spaghetti with”meat” sauce or marinara was the question, meat was requested! Well it came out and “Is this the meat sauce?” Was told yes! Well out of the ladle that was put on top, there was definitely 2 crumbs of meat in it. Very poor. There there was the 2 other were 2 turkey dinners, turkey was not the processed crap it was real turkey, stuffing was fair for diner dressing for most. For a scoop of very dry instant potatoes, the cucumber and onion salad was very good, gravy was definitely a low quality canned gravy. Now I have been to a lot of restaurants since I came to Delaware past 4 years, I’m retired military and usually always ask if they give discounts for military, this is only the second of probably 100 restaurants that said no they do not. Probably will not return to this location, food was fair for the price charged, service was good.

Doyles is not like it use to be. It is expensive, almost $4 for a glass of ice tea. Friend ordered a shrimp basket and they were hard as a rock, she even banged them on the table. The wet corn bread and zucchini bread were dry and crumbling. It use to have atleast a 30 minute wait time for dinner, tonight there were only 2 other tables that had 2 people at each one.

Traditional historic diner and restaurant with normal dining rooms. Food and service was very good; large portions. Friendly staff, plenty of parking.
