Great local diner, like that they serve lunch foods for breakfast if you prefer. It's nothing fancy, just a nice place to get a reasonably priced meal with friendly staff.

We went to doodles on a Sunday during a busy brunch rush and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were seated right after several large groups and as such our food ended up taking longer than we or our server anticipated. Our server was so attentive, apologized several times for the delay in our meals, and declined to charge us for parts of our bill. The food was great and definitely worth the wait so you're looking for good food and great service, check this place out!

Been going to Doodles for years now. The food is terrific home-style cooking and Kim is simply a server extraordinaire. She is friendly, professional, dedicated, and just an overall nice human being! Walking into Doodles feels and tastes like you've just gone home for a good home-cooked meal. Have never eaten anything there I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. Prices are super reasonable too. Can't recommend this diner strongly enough!!!

I must have driven past Doodle's Diner hundreds of times and not noticed it. But yesterday, as I was leaving C'ville, on the 250 bypass headed to I-64 to go home, in a small, nondescript group of stores on the left, I saw Doodle's Diner. It was early Friday afternoon. All I could think of was Doodles Weaver, a bit-part actor on the Andy Griffith Show. Good enough for me. A quick U-turn and I was parking just moments later. The server, Kim, told me to sit anywhere. I snagged a booth and began perusing the menu. So many options! I settled on the Doodle Cheeseburger. Fries for side. The food came up quickly, perhaps 10 minutes. Fries first. Hot, abundant, Shoe String, and delicious. I ate about half, and later packed up half to take home. On to the Burger. I needed assistance, so I asked Kim for a steak knife. I was soon sampling the Doodle Cheeseburger. Very, very good. It's worth a repeat, but there are many other dishes I wish to try first: Doodle's Delight Omelet, BLT, Club Sandwich, etc. There were signs suggesting Soup of the Day, and Desserts. None of the Soups caught my fancy, but the desserts sounded interesting. I asked Kim if they wee homemade; she assured me they were. The only dessert I thought I might enjoy was the Carrot Cake, so I ordered that. OMG! Hands down, it was the best Carrot Cake ever (and I have eaten a lot of CC!) Cream Cheese Frosting, spices... Nutmeg, Cloves, and... Je ne sais quoi. That will be a repeat every time!
