The parking is not so bad as you can find 2 hours on most of the streets south of 3rd. ”

The original location was probably the best but I'd be hesitant to believe all you read on here. ”

Tasty food, fun atmosphere ”

The partner ordered the Doughboy Club, a huge sandwich, looked very tasty Decor is very cute, lots of booths on either side of the restaurant with blue and brown back pillows making restaurant with blue and brown back pillows making a very comfortable sea ”

After lunch we decided to get some sweets to go and I had to try the famous red velvet cake that was featured on Oprah. ”

If you love red velvet cake you will love this one more than any other. ”

The red velvet cake is moist with the most amazing cream cheese frosting. ”

Great desserts, soups, sandwiches. ”
- “
The frosting was good, but the cake itself was completely tasteless and rubbery/spongy-very disappointing. ”

also wanted to try the red velvet cake that I've heard people rave about, so I took one to go. ”

Beware since it's been one of the best cakes in the nation according to Oprah it may be sold out. ”

Overall, nice neighborhood cafe to grab some solid, classic eats Heard the desserts are good too, but did not have room to try. ”

This place has dirty floors, dirty waiters, and dirty food. ”

Putting emmantal cheese on soggy, stale bread is not 'updating a classic'. ”
- “
like the goat cheese salad (may not be called that, but I can't remember exactly). ”
- “
the MONSTER is soooooo good yet super filling (think of an open face roast beef/onion/mushroom pizza), their BLT is enormous, their omelettes are yum yum and of course, their bread is amazing - duh, they are a bakery. ”
- “
great food at generous portions for a low price ”

Their sandwiches are made with gluey bread and inferior ingredients. ”

their warm mushroom salad is really great too as well as the steak or onion soup (if you can ignore the grease from the melted cheese). ”

Friendly staff, good food with generous portions ”

The soups are always amazing-I love the french onion and the chicken chili. ”

Nice cafe food ”
- “
this is the perfect place to lounge with a deep bowl of soup and a lusicious garden on your plate. ”

Good food, big portions ”

Their food is very savory & satisfying - if you are in for a very filling and delicious meal, its the place to go. ”
- “
the vegetables are fresh, crisp, and bright, the hot foods are overwhelming (in a delightfully surprising way) and savory. ”

You can always meet a friend, read a magazine, kick back and wait for your HUGE portion to come out, fresh and tasty. ”
- “
They are nothing great, but I do like getting the soup and salad for a balanced meal. ”
- “
The lemon bars are tasty. ”

ordered the soup and salad combo which comes with a half salad and a full soup. ”

The menu is full of yummy selections from salads to soups to pancakes. ”

Amazing food but terribly obnoxious and roll-of-the-eye service. ”

have tried them on several occasions, wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt, but their food is simply inferior. ”

The food is amazing (try the cornmeal pancakes, french onion soup, or the eggplant pizza.) ”

If you want this type of sanwich-salad food with snotty trendy people around, I would recommend Cheebo on Sunset. ”

The soups are great too, and the breakfast food is healthy and quite tasty. ”
- “
Excellent gourmet comfort food at great prices ”
- “
This place is a great low-key breakfast joint, I would recommend the bagel & salmon platter. ”
- “
don't understand why everyone loves this place, it takes forever to be seated, once you are seated it takes at least an hour to get your food and once you get your food it's completely TASTELESS. ”
- “
Speaking of sandwiches, Doughboys happens to have *the* best sandwich on earth. ”
- “
Ask to add the melted fontina cheese, but don't bother overdoing it with the peppers and mushrooms--they'll detract from the amazing cheesy, gooey, beef-horseradish yumminess you're about to experience. ”
- “
really had the best experience & loved the food! ”

Other times the soup is watery, but there are occasions where the meal is just perfect and I leave out of there like a stuffed pig. ”

As one prone to hyperbole, let me explain--there are three of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. ”
- “
Doughboys has great food. ”
- “
Not only can you get a delicious meal (scrapple for breakfast, onion soup and salad for lunch), but chances are you'll also see a celeb or two chowing down with the regular folks. ”

the service is bad, the waitresses have no personality and the food is just plain average. ”

Second, the warm portabello mushroom salad is absolutely delish. ”

The chef mixes yummy cheeses with different meats for interesting combinations. ”

Recommend Kings Road Cafe for friendly service, consistent good food, and best coffee. ”

Doughboys is delicious! ”

NOW ON HIGHLAND - Besides the dry meat, hard bread, flavorless soup and horrible service I was attacked by hundreds of black flies! ”
- “
The bread, however, was amazing. ”

You can get the same old thing at the rest of the breakfast/lunch places around town, but Doughboys' food is truly unique. ”

Everything on the menu is good, but I am partial to their fantasic home-made soups. ”

the bruschetta salad is delicious but after the second pound of tomatoes a little voice rises from within you and cries "please. ”

The taters are great, but they'll leave you stuffed, so if you order them, share a sandwich. ”
- “
The onion soup is very good. ”
- “
All the other sweets looked really delicious but I'll try it next time I go. ”
- “
It has a ton of delicious cheese and tastes the way I want french onion soup to taste. ”

Its also worth mentioning that though you will be seated quickly the time between ordering and being served is normally abnormally long its not fast food so order an appetizer if you are starving. ”
- “
My boyfriend had the "Doughboys Club" and loved its thick slabs of bacon and freshly baked french bread. ”
- “
Well it's not a romantic or tranquil, casual dining place but you can still get what you pay for, and at least the food is quite satisfying. ”

know its only temporary, but I was really bummed when I attempted to have my favorite soup yesterday. ”

The bread is amazing - fresh and soft. ”
- “
My favorites are Soup au Pistou - delicious French tomato based vegetable soup topped with a big dollop of homemade basil pesto; New England Clam Chowder - chock full o' ocean clams in a creamy clam broth with potatoes, carrots, celery and scallions; Stra ”
- “
Although their menu really sounds fantastic, know in advance that this is food prepared with no imagination or style and mediocre quality ingredients. ”

Best salads, bacon, corn bread and of course Red Velvet Cake ”

My boyfried loves their breakfast quesidillas, their onion soup, and the fatboy. ”
- “
Tasty food, fun atmosphere ”
- “
Cobb Salad good, sandwiches great, and the bread rules. ”

STARZ and yummy food ”
- “
The salad used fresh ingredients (except the tomatoes weren't absolutely perfect), the soup was a tiny bit too salty but had great flavor, a good broth for a cold day. ”
- “
The "sandwich" was so big that my leftover saved me lunch and dinner on the next day. ”
- “
My Monster was something I have never seen - it was a big pita covered with layers of roast beef with cheese on the bottom and roasted mushrooms and onions on top with shredded spinach and tomatoes and horseradish on the side, which is great because I was ”
- “
great sandwiches ”
- “
Soup is served in huge bowls (the onion soup is highly recommended) and the food portions are definitely enough to fill you up. ”

The people watching is great, the food huge and delicious, and the prices cannot be better. ”
