Jake & Dorothy's Cafe

My friend and I stopped in after an appointment. We truly enjoyed the 9.00 lunch special. The food was amazing, and the service was excellent👏👏👏

This was on my list to visit so we planned a trip specifically coming here from lunch on our way back home to Fort Worth from the hill country.

Caught them after the Sunday lunch rush so sat right down and ordered. Love the old school diner with the soda fountain bar. Fresh pies were on display and had to save room too.

The staff is all very friendly and down home. The prices are reasonable as well.

I had the small (next size is double and then a triple party is XL) chicken fried steak with their fresh cut waffles fries. The CFS was remarkable and lived the gravy as well. Glad I opted for smaller size so I could have some pie. My wife let me have a bite of her patty melt and it was so delicious! You can taste the difference in a fresh groin beef patty too!

The pies were amazing but my cherry jubilee was exceptional. Loved the homemade crushed crust and nuts.

Great place to stop and have some down home cooking!

Waited a few minutes for a table which is fine. But then ordered drinks and food and proceeded to wait for our food for over an hour and a half and still did not receive our food. I had the same empty sweet tea the entire time. Not once was a refill offered. We were waiting for our food for so long that people that arrived later than us were served before us with the same order. Another table that had a gentleman sitting there fell asleep waiting for his coffee and meal. This was our first time going here and will be the absolute last time. Just ridiculous

We waited an hour to get our food on a Sunday around 1 ish. I got the special which was CFS with mashed potatoes, salad, carrots, and the two guys got burgers. I ended up getting and cold CFS with waffle fries. Never once was I told they were out of potatoes, or else I would have asked for something different. There is no seasoning at all on burgers nor CFS, and fries were soggy.

Just dropped my son off for college and was excited to reminisce with dinner from this place. It was the worst meal we have had in a very long time. The food was all cold. The hamburger tasted like bad meat and was very very over cooked. The chicken fried steak had so much gristle in it you couldn’t chew it, much less finish it. A huge serving of mashed potatoes that tasted like they took old baked potatoes, mashed them and reheated them multiple times over. The toast was black and inedible. Sad to see this place go down hill so bad. Time for them to shut down. Will never eat here again.

Went with the $9:00 lunch special, whoa, pork chops n gravy, a salad, mashed potatoes, pinto beans, corn bread, pineapple cake. Friendly service n ice tea. Tasty n filling. Thanks.

We went to Jake & Dorothy's Cafe today. I was so surprised it was not like I remember it being as a young girl growing up in Dublin. It is So ran down, dirty, and you could spell the old grease out front couldn't get waited on. The help was just talking and not even looking at us. There was only 2 tables of folks when we went in. We finally got up and left. They need to do some cleaning and remodeling for sure.

Wanted this to ba a good hometown diner. Unfortunately, this first thing we saw after getting our tea was a roach crawling on the booth. Women's bathroom also required toilet paper to be disposed in trash instead of flushing. NO THANK YOU!
