Doris' Diner

Good old small town restaurant. Nice staff, good food, Laval hang out, great for coffee and conversion. Busy for breakfast and lunch, in between times nice and quite to relax and chat with friends. They have a steam table and have daily hot lunch for takeout and drive through! Always plenty of parking and plenty of people. I constantly meet interesting people, and run into my neighbors. Great place all around! In a town with the main intersection controlled by a 4 way stop sign, this is genuine hometown cooking and people. Well worth going a few miles out of your way for a good meal and a good time.

It was really good! We were referred to eat there on our Getaway Dale Hollow trip. The waiters were really nice. We sat down and ate, although they had a steam table with delicious looking and smelling food that you could take out or eat in. They also had a nifty drive thru. The food is really cheap, so that’s always nice. The pancakes are HUGE! My boyfriend ordered two and only ate half of one. They truly are as big as a plate. So good! We’ll go again. Very quaint.

Oh. My. Stars. I honestly don't know where to begin..... The back of the restaurant smelled like a septic tank because someone all but blew one of the bathrooms up and didn't spray the Febreeze that's readily available. We ordered the "loaded" fries at an appetizer. They consisted of a pile of fries with melted cheddar, a little bacon and pieces of chopped white onion. My husband ordered the catfish and I asked for chicken fried steak. Well, the catfish was almost raw and my small piece of premade "chicken fried steak" was nasty and had no gravy on it. It tasted almost like a soybean patty. Our side salads were pretty much the only good food in the whole order. Our daughter didn't even eat her cheeseburger. The other plus to the whole visit was the waitress was extremely apologetic and seemed sincere. She was very sweet from the beginning.

Celina isnt quite the dining mecca we all wished for... but Doris' helps medicate that situation. Made to order.... specials daily .. even a buffet on Sundays until 2. Most gas stations aren't open on Sunday around here! Thank you Doris' for providing consistent diner fare in a clean setting with friendly staff!
