What People Are Saying About Doughboys Bakery--CLOSED

The Scene – The huge cylindrical object hanging on the wall--is it a steaming baguette, smoking cigar or what? This bakery-restaurant, with signage showing its namesake infantry-transporting loaves, draws a smart, urban crowd. – – The Food – A dozen types of daily baked loaves line the back wall. You'll find them bolstering the better lunch eats. Served with baguette halves, soups--like the velvety cream of roasted garlic and smoky lentil and ham, or French onion soup gooey with Emmentaler cheese--come in huge crocks. Buttery baguettes grip huge fillings, like roast…

Fake Reviews Below?

I would note that 3 of the 4 awful reviews below, on the main page, appear to be from individuals that haven't reviewed anything else -- suggesting that they might not be real persons. Considering all the turmoil that the restaurant went through (according to the owner, yes, but it sounds fairly legit, albeit a little dramatic, and has been confirmed by former employees) I would venture to guess that some of the neighbors and others who caused this drama used user review sites like this one to add to Doughboy's downfall.
As a huge fan that misses Doughboy's dearly, I just wanted to point this out so as to prevent the good Doughboy's name from ever being tarnished more than it deserved. You can have your opinion that it was overrated (I'd disagree) or pine about the wait (agreed) but there's no proof or even suggestion that it was teeming with vermin, aside from a single post. The original location was probably the best but I'd be hesitant to believe all you read on here... We Miss You, Dougboy's.
- Pros: Delicious food, low prices
- Cons: Heck of a wait, and closed

NOW ON HIGHLAND - Besides the dry meat, hard bread, flavorless soup and horrible service I was attacked by hundreds of black flies!! If your hungry try roadkill, it's probably better since I would not have to wait an hour for a waiter to bring it to me.

I wouldn't even bother with this place...

Bad food, bad, service, bad experience overall. I used to think this place was good when it was in the old location. I think the staff must hate the owner, and it shows. This place was dirty and out of almost everything on the menu. What was left over, was flavorless and stale. I will never return. Too bad because it used to be a pretty cool place to eat.
- Pros: no pros left
- Cons: the food, the service, and the cleanliness
