"My husband and I went to Doty's Diner for the first time today. We really liked it. We were seated quickly on a Saturday morning and served just as quick. Our waitress was friendly. I liked that there were healthy options on the menu and not just a bunch of greasy food. I got an egg white omelette with feta, asparagus, spinach, and broccoli. It came with home fries and toast. They even had caffeine herbal tea. I got the orange spice and it was amazing. My husband had a cheddar omelet with home fries, toast, and a side of corned beef hash. He had a pot of coffee. It came to around $45 with tip for the two of us. The restaurant itself is set up like a diner. You can sit at the counter or table. It looked very clean with new flooring and even a small wall fireplace. The staff was quick to clean up right away after each table cleared. We will definitely be back."
