Dolly's Diner

The cutest little diner in Apollo. Felt straight out of a movie. They have so many options on the menu but we went with the tv dinner. It came on a tray with chicken tenders, fries, applesauce, vegetable, and a brownie. They were flexible with you changing your sides. The food was delicious and the root beer was even better!

Lovely diner, great food and service paired with an exceptionally fair price. Thank you to everyone at Dolly’s Diner for the wonderful breakfast! My omelette was perfect- they even offer dairy-free cheese options! Coffee was hot and plentiful. The poached eggs cooked to perfection. The rye toast was light, thick and buttered well! Thank you!

Drove past and decided to turn around and give it a try. We love old time diners and small private owned businesses, so it screamed out to us. Everything was delicious. We had the garlic cheese curds w/marinara, the hot meatloaf sandwich w/mashed and gravy and hot roast beef sandwich w/fresh cut fries. So much food, we took more home than we could eat. The server was super sweet also. The inside was exactly what you want and expect from an old time diner, and the music playing was all oldes to top it off. We stopped by on a whim today but will definitely make the almost hour trip from home to visit again.

Edit-7-27-2025 My husband and I came here for breakfast today. Completely changed my mind. Maybe it's the time of day or food selections that made it better. Our waitress was fantastic and she was rather busy also. Breakfast was delicious and devoured the hot turkey sandwich with mashed. Edit- Came back with my son and was again disappointed by the quality of the food vs the bill. $58 for 2 burgers, 2 shakes and 2 fries....really....never again. I was so excited to try this new little spot, who doesn't love the vibe of a 1950s diner. It was a little busy but the whole bar area was empty and 3 booths were open. There was one waitress whom I asked "can we sit at the bar" she replies "Yes". We happily sit and become excited about what to order. We take in our surroundings and notice the milkshake machines. UUUMMM 2 please! At this point it had been about 10 mins okay nothing major but have not been offered menus or drinks. After about 7 more minutes I find the right moment and politely ask for menus and she kindly gave us them. Another waitress starts the shift and asks us what we'd like to drink and of course we order milkshakes! They are very delicious and will definitely order again! We chatted and giggled slurping up the sweet goodness for about 20 min. We enjoyed our time together but were rather hungry too. I again motion to the waitress and ask to order. Again they are very polite and take our order, I go for the play on a big mac with a side of fresh cut fries and coleslaw, my daughter orders a crispy chicken sandwich with fresh cut fries and coleslaw. Another 30 minutes goes by and our food arrives. First the coleslaw, I salt and pepper for flavor and take a juicy spoonful,I instantly think "eww that has zero flavor ". I push it aside because we are now handed our meals, the dishes heaping with beautiful fresh cut fries and our sandwiches. I snatch up that Heinz 57 and plop it on my fries, they were as good as they looked. I chased the first steamy mouthful with some sugary chocolate shake. I was pretty happy and excited to taste that juicy burger with the "special sauce". I take a big bite and think "okay, okay, it's a buger", I go in for a follow-up bite and get hit with an over powering taste of onion. I look and there is a rather thick slice of solid onion, every ring from inside out in the dead middle of my burger. Well that's not great, if I wanted a slab 'o' onion I would have asked for one. I look over at my daughters food and realize her "breaded chicken" sandwich is nothing more then a lame chicken patty...... really.... now is when I get irritated. So long story not so short, the food is mediocre, and not worth the price at all. Will I go back, yes I'd like to try the breakfast menu in hopes it will be better somehow. The strawberry shake us better then the chocolate shake btw.

It was great to find a place in the middle of nowhere that had gluten free bread and buns. I had a burger and a few bites of my husband's club and didn't have any reaction. I told the waitress it was an allergy.

As a child of the 50's the atmosphere in Dolly's brought back fond memories. A true diner from years past, very nostalgic. The service was great and the staff was very pleasant, the menu was definitely what one would expect at a diner and very good. If you're in the mood for an old fashioned milk shake this is the place to go, just beware, one shake is big enough to serve two!!

I love hole in the wall joints and this place didn’t disappoint. Great food at great prices. Got a build your own omelette (up to 5 toppings for $12) It was stuffed full and delicious. I heard the cooks name was Ashley, she does a great job on hash browns too! Crispy! Our server was excellent too. Fast and prompt! Cute little diner. Loved the decor, takes you back to the 50’s. Will definitely return!
