    First time exploring Wichita and went for breakfast here. Came in on a Sunday and it was set up as a buffet! I was a bit apprehensive as most buffets lose quality because of the quantity. However, their food was great! Great selections! Not the same typical breakfast. I was flabbergasted that they had pork belly. It was very tender, savory with a bit of sweetness. Absolutely incredible. Their jalapeño bacon was great. Banana pudding was awesome. I pretty much liked everything they had. Great service, very attentive and very nice. I know where to go anytime I visit Wichita!

    Doo dah always delivers. It can be a wait on the weekend but worth it. Their meatloaf is so tasty that I haven't been able to find another place to beat it. The smothered burrito is also a must have. Of course, don't forget the free money bread, delicious!

    First day open at this location and the service was excellent and food was what you would expect from here, delicious. I had the Brutus with chicken fried chicken. Nice, quaint diner feel. It is a work in progress getting everything completed but, they’ve made sure that the customer service experience is still the best around!

    Don't every be fooled by the packed parking lot because the wait is not long. Also, understand the lot is packed tight for a reason! This place is great. Here you will food priced lower than expected when you consider the quality, quickness, and good service. The coffee is par, but this isn't a Cafe! The pork belly will surprise you and the banana foster French toast is absolutely perfect.

    The Crab cakes were the best breakfast dish I’ve ever had hands down. It’s a 4 hour drive to the restaurant. They don’t have crab cakes everyday. Honestly I would have to call the night before traveling there because I wouldn’t make the drive for another dish. It’s 5 1/2 hours to The Lemp Mansion Saint Louis the only other place I enjoy the crab cakes within driving distance. Other wise it’s an 8 hour plus drive. In northwest Arkansas there is a place called The Buttered Biscuit that has a dish close to this but not on the same level. The Po Boy Factory in Huntsville, AL Has the best crab cakes I’ve had hands down. That said, Doo-dahs dinner was pretty close in texture and taste. I would make an 8 hour round trip for this dish again.

    Drove by here the night before, when we were coming into town from OKC. I actually pointed the place out to my wife and made fun of the name. I told her we would not be eating at the doo do diner. BOY WAS I GLAD WE DID! Doo Dah Diner is probably one of the top 5 breakfast spots we have eaten at. Sophia was our waitress and she did amazing. Service was top notch. Especially for the amount of people that were here. The wait was estimated at 20 minutes but we only waited 10 minutes. They are very efficient with their service. Took our plates when we were finished, instead of leaving them on the table. I was thankful for that because I wanted to keep eating but my stomach said no more! They said they were bringing homemade complimentary MONKEY BREAD to the table! I said, excuse me what did you just say??!!! That’s how it started! Monkey bread is great. I ordered the fried bologna and egg sandwich with blueberry pancakes and home made hash browns. I suggest getting the dill havarti cheese on it. It was very good. My wife had sausage gravy biscuit and two fried eggs. Biscuit and gravy were very good. We got a variety of foods and all of it was consistent and very good. Hats off to the cooks, bussers, and the wait staff! The food that was coming out to other tables looked just as good and well prepared. We will be back tomorrow morning for the BRUNCH BUFFET! I advise you to do the same!

    Being from New Jersey, I’m very surprised how good things are out here in Kansas and it’s starts with this diner. Unfortunately I didn’t think to take a picture of my food until after I started eating, but everything from presentation to taste, this place is the place to eat! The grits were the best I’ve ever had in my 25 years of life. Service was next level good as well. Meesha was fantastic and always made sure we had coffee in our cup. She saved me from getting the basic breakfast to having arguably the best breakfast I’ve ever had.

    Seated promptly and friendly like. Server was very quick to respond and bring waters. Food choices are very “home cooking” (Biscuits/gravy, deep fried sandwiches with sugar on top, various egg choices, meatloaf-you get the idea). It’s a breakfast/lunch place that stays open til 7 pm so that’s nice but kind of odd. I had a cheese omelette with turkey. Very tasty! Brady did a great job waiting on us!

    Restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Parking is limited. Service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious! Triple D is perfect for sharing and all of it is delicious (get the biscuit and gravy too) The pancakes are good if you want something simple. Great price for great food! Will eat here again and recommend to others!

    One of my all time favorite places in Wichita! We love bringing new people to Doo-Dah Diner because everything on the menu is beyond amazing. Here is their monkey bread, chicken and waffles, smothered burrito & banana bread french toast. INCREDIBLE! Be sure to join their waitlist on Yelp to save time when you get there!

    We came for breakfast, the wait was short but after we left there were lines out of the door. Food was really good and they also had a few specials for the day. My daughter had the crab cakes eggs Benedict and really loved it.

    Definitely get the biscuits and gravy. Although the food here is quite pricey ($10 for a half order of biscuits and gravy) it is worth it to try it. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs which was also delicious, but nothing beat the biscuits. Portion sizes are very filling so come hungry. Overall, one of the best breakfast places in Wichita. Food comes out very quick and the staff are super friendly. This place is a must try if you’re visiting Wichita.

    This place was decent. I've had better but still pretty good. I had chicken Fried Steak. It was good but a little rough. My daughters boyfriends had crab cakes .My wife had an omelet. It's very expensive here so plan on that for sure. Would I do it again. Probably not worth the price but glad I tried it. It's decorated very cute inside with that old time diner feel.

    Phenomenal place! First time here after living in Wichita for a little over a year and everything was amazing. The owner has plants everywhere that she sells so of course I had to snag this beautiful Monstera plant. The waffles were perfect, crab cake benedict, the biscuits and gravy... everything spot on. Autumn was a wonderful server, the atmosphere was welcoming. Less than a 15 minute wait on a Saturday brunch. Perfect.

    Oh my one of today's specials.. Chicken and Waffle has a drizzle of gravy on the side and a slice of Bacon dipped in yummy gooey chocolate. Wonderful full size Waffle and the two chicken strips were more like chunks, cooked to perfection... Had me at bacon and chocolate... Hubs had a Crab cakes blenny, yum. Our son had the Triple d and that Banana Bread French Toast, oh my goodness... All of it had so much flavor and goodness, who cares about the calories. I mean You only live once , Enjoy Breakfast!

    Phenomenal service with food so good you would think your grandma made it! Came in during lunch rush, we had a 15min wait but were able to be seated much much fater than that. God made that one happen, ha. The complimentary sweet rools were amazing. The turkey and au ju sandwiches where great. The breakfast calzone was mind blowing. The grave o'lort!!! Ohh and the bread pudding be ready to come out with a sugar shock in the best way. If you're ever in Wichita you should definitely make your way to lovely family dinner.

    The food and customer service was spot on! Robin was wonderful and took great care of us. I got biscuits and gravy and chocolate chip pancakes and they were sooo delicious! My coworker couldn't stop raving about how amazing the biscuits were, baked to perfection! A couple of us had our hearts set on chicken fried steak but they were out (we got there 30 mins before closing... ) so we will just have to head back on our next overnight!! Highly recommend!

    I got the chicken fried steak and eggs. The breading on the steak was a bit heavy, the gravy was excellent, the eggs done perfectly. Had a side of honey ham that was good sized and tasted great. The location is busy and crowded making it very noisy. That said, it was good, service was great, even with a group of 11 that I was in.
