Quick service and HUGE portions! We had the poutine with curds, a fish sandwich, hot beef sandwich, creton and ploytes. Creton was served cold and tasted like a liver spread. Hubby loved it. Ploytes was like an unflipped pancake. The hot beef sandwich was huge and delicious! The fish sandwich had 3 fishstick-like pieces of fish, which were good, but I would have preferred one larger piece. Overall, well worth the stop! Very reasonably priced!

Fried chicken, burgers, and club sandwiches are highlights for me. The chicken stew and ployes are very popular and the servers make the ployes to order so they always arrive hot and fresh! I'll keep coming back for the food but the poor servers are always under staffed. Despite that, they have ALWAYS been very pleasant, even when crazy busy.

Wow, what happened to this place? Went yesterday for lunch and will never be back. Ordered liver and onions and it was like eating shoe leather, really. Potatoes were not real and it is located in the middle of potato coutry and during harvest season no less! Then I got fries and they were unfried, white and soggy. Waitress Isabelle was annoyed and minimal, at best. She didn't even know what beer they served and when the decision was made upon a Coors, I got a Coors light. I told her our meal was only ok and she was only interested in whether we had left her a tip. Place needs updating.

The hamburger steak with a flavorful gravy and real mashed potatoes was delicious!!
I have not had such a delicious scratch made meal in decades.
I will be back. I would think that their pizza and beer are delicious and well made also!!
Prices are very reasonable; staff is friendly; accommodated my GF husband. Had a lobster roll for $21.99 which comes with fries, & cole slaw. Got it with hot butter on the side (mostly congealed). Think the lobster was previously frozen as each bite of meat contained some water.

Small quaint mom n pop shop. The food is outstanding. The portions for the price is absolutely fantastic! Love the home feel vibe it has. If youre wanting a great breakfast in Madawaska Maine, you cant go wrong with Dollys!

Dolly’s has been a staple in the St. John Valley for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Madawaska, and it was always there. It’s been 40 years since I moved away, and I was looking forward to getting some great local food. Dolly’s did NOT disappoint!
When we arrived, we were greeted with familiar (to me) faces from my childhood! Although the place was packed, there was an empty table and we were able to be seated right away. The server came quickly and was polite and personable, though she was very busy.
My husband and I ordered the chicken stew. This came with ployes. If you’re not a local or from the area, you might not know what these are, but you will fall in love with them! They are similar to a pancake, but made with a special Silverhull buckwheat (only grown in the northern Maine area). They are only cooked on one side, and they have lots of holes, due to the bubbling. Typically served with butter, maple syrup, molasses, brown sugar, or cretons (another local favorite). We thought the stew would come with 2, but we received 3 ployes each! We also ordered a plate of poutine (fresh cut french fries, smothered in a special gravy and cheese curds).
We didn’t have to wait for too long for our food. When our bowls of stew arrived, they were overflowing with piping hot, delicious, hearty chicken stew. The stew had lots of potatoes and homemade dumplings and was thick and flavorful. The ployes were light and super fluffy. The fries were well cooked, and there was plenty of gravy and cheese curds.
We ate every last bit and enjoyed it all. A wonderful taste of “home” for me, and familiar food for my hubby (as I have cooked these things for our family)
