Doo-Dah Diner

I wanted to try to this place to see what the hype was all about! We ordered the Shocker Special which was about $17 each plate. I wasn’t a fan of the plate except for the omelette. My boyfriend however LOVED his plate. I didn’t like the pancake with it filled with green onions/sweet potato’s so I ordered a regular pancake on the side $6 & I still didn’t like their taste of pancake batter they use. I probably won’t be back but the service is phenomenal!! Everyone is so sweet & friendly! Just wasn’t for my taste buds!

I sat at the bar and it was the best place in the house . All the food is homemade and looked great. First place I’ve ever been to where the waitresses handed the food back to the cooks and said to fix the plate and add more food or bacon or gravy . They are very particular with their plates . I literally heard the waitress say “ this piece isn’t very big add more bacon”. This place knows customers and is going somewhere . Oh, sausage gravy is killer. I had that over a homemade biscuit with a custom 2 egg omelet . I’ll be back again if I’m ever back in town . God bless you guys.

Definitely a Wichita staple! You know it’s good when people are door-busting when they open. Everything we had was delicious and is certainly comfort food from the Midwest. It feels very diner-esque inside and the food was delicious.

The food was decent. I had the salmon. The wait was long. I probably should’ve gotten a more traditional breakfast platter.

Corn beef hash and eggs Benedict...both fantastic. Not a long wait and service was prompt once seated. Staff was very attentive throughout the meal. Will for sure be back, next time we are in town.

Met a friend in Wichita for breakfast. Food and service was great. Bald Man & a friend had the special-Crab Cakes Egg Benedict; served on crispy hash browns instead of English muffins, both gents had rave reviews. I had pecan pancakes with a side of pecans & the best bacon: perfect.

I went on a weekday at lunch time. Hostess greeted me upon entering and was asked about seating preference. Shortly after being seated my waitress came over and got my order placed. She asked what I wanted and was able to make some recommendations. Food was served while it was still hot. Never had an issue with empty drinks even though the restaurant was busy. Very pleased. Restaurant was clean and restroom was clean and stocked. Pleasant experience.

This is a staple for me whenever I’m in Wichita. I walked in “knowing” I was going in for the banana bread French toast. And Derek completely shattered those dreams. He sat down like a culinary therapist and introduced me to the “Shocker Scramble”. It’s a fitness gurus nightmare. A 10-inch pancake layered with 2 scrambled eggs with Bacon, sausage, peppers, onions & sweet potato hash. But wait there is more!!!! Then that is layered with pork belly hash & this savory delicious gravy with a side of house-made strawberry jam & syrup… If you are watching your waist, this ain’t the plate lol😂😂😂

"A Breakfast Adventure That'll Make Your Taste Buds Do the Doo-Dah Dance!" Listen up, breakfast enthusiasts! If you're the type who stares at a menu longer than you spend on your morning hair routine, the Triple D sampler at Doo Dah Diner is your new best friend. It's like they read my commitment-phobic breakfast mind and said, "Hold my coffee, we got this!" First up: their banana bread French toast. Gluten-free folks, don't you dare skip this! Slathered with apple butter, it's so good it'll make you question every other breakfast you've ever had. The apple butter doesn't just complement it - they're having a full-on flavor romance on your plate. Then there's the corned beef hash - think thick, juicy chunks of corned beef (none of that canned nonsense) mingling with perfectly crispy potatoes and peppers, all topped with an egg and green chile sauce. While it's technically my "least favorite," that's like picking your least favorite puppy - it's still pretty darn amazing. But oh mama, Tanya's Benny! This is where things get serious. Picture this: a perfectly poached egg perched atop creamy avocado, crowned with maple pepper bacon that should honestly have its own Instagram account. The hollandaise sauce? It's the kind of thing that makes you want to write poetry. Pro tip from a newly initiated Doo Dah devotee: Spring for the Home Run add-on and get yourself a half portion of their biscuits and gravy. That biscuit is so fluffy it could float away if it wasn't anchored down by the most perfectly seasoned sausage gravy. Timing is everything here, folks. Start with Tanya's Benny before the avocado pulls a cold shoulder on your egg and hollandaise. Your taste buds will thank you for the strategic planning. Bottom line: Whether you're a chronic menu waverer or just someone who appreciates a breakfast that makes you want to hug the chef, Doo Dah Diner has got you covered. My party left with full bellies and happy hearts, already planning our next visit. Because let's be real - breakfast this good deserves a sequel. P.S. Come hungry, leave happy, and don't forget to do the Doo-Dah dance of joy on your way out. (Okay, the dance is optional, but after this meal, you might just feel like it!)

Visiting from out of state, Doo-Dah diner was a short walk from our hotel that came with many high recommendations. It's a classic diner vibe with hearty breakfast and lunch/dinner choices. We came for breakfast, as that's what was recommended to us. If you're hungover, just want a great diner breakfast, or a unique breakfast dish, Doo-Dah is the spot. The service was fast and friendly and felt like family. Everyone was friendly and answered all our questions, as well as making sure we had everything we needed. I'll get it out of the way now: get the monkey bread. It's sweet, gooey, and a perfect side to a savory meal! It's not a huge portion, but we were able to share it amongst 5 adults! Don't skip this! We had a variety of entrees for breakfast. The fried bologna sandwich was giant and something I've never had before. The bologna was cut THICK, and the bread it was on was clearly made fresh that day. It could have easily been enough for 2 people, but we took leftovers home with us! The biscuits and gravy were as authentic as they come. Fluffy biscuits, hearty sausage gravy...a perfect start to your day! I didn't get to try the weekly special of crab Benedict, but judging by the clean plate club winner at the end of our meal, it's safe to say it was delicious! If you're ever in Wichita, make time to stop here for breakfast! I wish we were there for lunch or dinner, cuz I'm sure those meals would be just as great!

Absolutely amazing. Everything we ate was top notch! My daughter got the biscuits and gravy, my son got the "boring" breakfast, my husband got the chorizo breakfast, and I got the banana bread French toast. Service was great. Ambiance was great. Zero complaints. You need to eat here if you're in Wichita.

What a great little establishment! You can tell they have roots here in this town. Learned quite a lot from my friend who lives in Wichita and this place was just so homey. The food was excellent and greasy which was just what we needed and you cannot pass on the monkey bread. This is a classic Wichita diner and you should definitely try it out! The service was great too. Got sat in less than 5 minutes and the food came out relatively quickly too with attentive waiting staff!

Had brunch here with our son. It's a cute happy place and the food was wonderful. I had the daily special which was a sloppy Joe and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was delicious! The sloppy Joe was huge and very tasty. My husband got the bologna egg sandwich and it was really yummy! Our son had the corn beef hash which was as also really good. The star was the monkey bread! So yummy! Chewy and soft and sticky and sweet. They also have a take and bake refrigerator in front. I would always have their Mac and cheese and monkey bread in my house!

We loved our visit to the Doo-Dah Diner! We were meeting our friends for breakfast as we were just passing through Wichita. So glad they chose this spot! I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict which was really delicious and beautiful! My son ordered Chicken and Waffles which he said was great! Dad ordered Biscuits and Gravy. And when my Dad mentioned how much he liked really strong coffee, our waitress went the extra mile and brewed him a special pot of very dark coffee. He said "I'm 74 years old and I've never had anyone brew me a special pot of dark coffee" he was blown away by the gesture. Needless to say, we really enjoyed our experience here.

We were seated quickly on New Year's Day. We received a complimentary monkey bread. Yum! The jalapeño bacon was delicious. Not too hot. Actually, all the food was delicious! Our group ordered the banana bread French toast, and I had the boring breakfast (and substituted the toast for a biscuit with gravy). The waitress was nice. There was nice artwork on the walls and the pictures of people at the restaurant were interesting.

The Triple D was delicious especially the banana bread French toast. The corned beef hash (Thick cubes of corned beef, potatoes, onions, & bell peppers, served with 2 eggs your way, green chili sauce) was good and so was the biscuits and gravy. The Tanya's benny (English muffin topped with maple pepper bacon, avocado, poached eggs with a delicate, hand-whipped hollandaise sauce) was good but the sauce had a bit too much lemon in it. Other than, I would return here again to try different items on the menu.

I've been here multiple times during my travels to Kansas and it never disappoints! This visit I got something new: The Brutus - highly recommend the version if you cannot have beef or pork like me- chicken tenders, crispy hash browns, chicken gravy and magicalness. Seriously, this place never disappoints even though last time I was in town and visited was a good we and a half ago. The staff is always friendly. We even chatted it up with the manager. It is not very loud- easy to have conversations. Definitely a spot to check out if in Wichita

Came here on a recommendation from friends who travel to Wichita regularly for business and we were not disappointed! Everything was delicious. We enjoyed the breakfast calzone & shocker scramble that were on special today along with the corned beef hash, breakfast burrito and chicken fried steak. We also got a side of the banana bread French toast. Everything was delicious! The puff pastry the calzone was in was delicious, crispy and one of the best breakfast items we've ever eaten. The shocker scramble had a savory pancake that was amazing as well. The banana bread French toast is an experience and I'd highly recommend trying it. We were glad to have a side everyone could try and we're not sure we would have been able to eat the full portion because it is so rich and decadent. We will definitely be back here again as we have family in the area and travel to Wichita frequently! Highly recommend everything on the menu. You can't go wrong!

Doo-Dah is making me say Wow-sa (forgive my terrible pun). But honestly, this has been the best breakfast/brunch I've had in a long time. If the fact that it's Harrison Ford's favorite diner pulls you in (I know, why is Harrison Ford ever in Wichita was my first question), the food will definitely bring me back. We got there right when they opened at 8 am, but I've heard that the wait can be quite long if you go later in the day! The staff are very friendly and the service is great! Love me a diner with coffee carafes getting carried around for a top off of coffee alllllll the time. I've heard their regular menu is great, especially this gluten free banana French toast or loaf--see my images to see this immaculate food choice. When I was there, my colleagues and I got some of the specials, including this crab cake Benedict and a "shocker" scramble - - so goooood! Crab cake benedict was made with lump crab meat, over a bed of hash browns with a hollandais sauce, topped with Jalapeno bacon and asparagus and sautéed bell peppers. The Shocker Scramble included a take on a scallion pancake (pancake was packed with cheese, scallions, and Jalapeno bacon bits) that was topped with scrambled eggs (with ham, peppers, and other veggies including sweet potatoes! ), and also topped with a pork belly bechamel sauce (with pork belly pieces!). Overall, this experience was so great. The environment is exactly what I hoped for a diner experience, and the service and food were awesome. I'm still full as I write this--thanks, Doo-Dah!

Great Wichita original. The menu is great and prices are what would be expected from a great brunch spot. This is not a diner so don't expect diner prices. It has a higher end flair including crab cakes benny. I love the Chicken & Waffle. It is the perfect blend of savory and sweet. Don't grimace at the small amount of sausage gravy with the dish. It is awesome with the chicken and a small amount of syrup.

I had an absolutely delightful experience eating breakfast here. The staff is so friendly from the moment you walk in to even as you're walking out. You will feel very welcomed here. The building is clean and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. If you're having a rough day or week, this place is like a nice hug. The food is yummy and comforting. The coffee is delightfully piping hot. The smothered burrito is absolutely packed with meat and the green chili gravy on top is full of flavor (not spicy, just tasty!). It's a very filling breakfast, but if you need more... the monkey bread is also awesome to add-on! The bread itself has this base flavor of French Toast with that eggy, sweet mixture -- which also makes it have a better texture -- then is coated in that classic, yummy cinnamon sugar syrup. I like their monkey bread MUCH more than the monkey bread I'd find at other places. I plan to come back again, because this place is definitely worth a stop!

Visiting from Los Angeles, found this breakfast gem. Freshest eggs "ever," and the Chicken Fried Steak was Spectabulous. Next time I'm in Wichita....

This was a fun diner while on a business trip. In typical diner style, lots of food. Waiter was also great and checked on us often. Highly recommend it.

Sooooo good, my parents always ask to go there when they're in town. They have call ahead seating and you should absolutely do that because they are BUSY! Brunch is the best, my Mom and I would share the little three piece sample with the French toast, the hash and Benedict. My husband has gone a little heavier in the past with the Brutus. I've gotten the special a couple times and never been disappointed. It's cute, very colorful and mismatched mugs from different local places. Very interesting seating, not just rows of tables but tucked into walls so you're not right up against your neighbor. The Togo is also excellent, we really enjoyed the meatloaf and the green chicken chili soup.

Doo Dah Diner - Wichita, KS: Grandma's Cooking Meets Nostalgic Charm! Oh, Doo Dah Diner, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! Stepping into this place is like getting a big, warm hug from Grandma--if Grandma was a culinary wizard with a penchant for homemade everything. The vibes are pure old American diner, complete with retro charm and friendly faces. Pro tip: Be a hero and reserve online on Yelp ahead of time. Trust me, it's worth it! First things first, let's talk coffee. It's a nice mild blend that pairs perfectly with their standout dish: monkey bread. Think of it as a sugary, cinnamon and caramel explosion that'll make you question why anyone bothers with regular bread. On to the mains! The chicken strips are hand-breaded and so fresh you might think they have a secret chicken coop out back. The pork belly and grits? Simply fantastic, with a syrup that's both sweet and savory--a taste bud tango you won't forget. And the pancakes? Forget the competition, these are the best around, especially when drenched in their syrup. As for the biscuits, they're so huge they could double as pillows in a pinch. The only (minor) gripe? The gravy could use a bit more meat. But honestly, when everything else is this good, who cares? In summary, Doo Dah Diner is the ultimate comfort food haven. Bring your appetite, your stretchy pants, and prepare to feel right at home. Service is second to none!

Doo-Dah Diner came recommended by our Uber driver. We were only in Wichita for a couple hours and are so glad we stopped here. Everything was amazing. Service was top notch and I absolutely loved the retro atmosphere. The crab cake benny was a meal I'd eat over and over again.

Nice breakfast place! Very family friendly and cozy restaurant. They have a great selection in the menu. The egg was accidentally didn't get cooked, but after we told the waitress, she was very nice and made exchange right away.

We stopped at this diner while passing through Wichita, it was great. The service was awesome. The food was great. My wife had the Bat Out of Hell Meatloaf, which she said was the best meatloaf she's had. My 7 year old (a picky eater) loved the Chicken and Waffles and finished the whole plate. My oldest kid had the boring breakfast with Banana Bread French Toast and said it was the best, which is surprising since she doesn't really like bananas. My other kid had the boring breakfast as well and really enjoyed her pancakes and hash browns. My biscuits and gravy were really good, as was the strawberry jalapeño jam. The kids wish this place was closer to home and are asking when we can go back to Kansas and eat there again.

This was a really fun place to visit. I, of course, was traveling alone...noon, on a Sunday. Not the best time to try to get into a breakfast place. However, the staff was super friendly and there was an immediate opening at the counter. The waitress greeted me almost immediately and brought me coffee. I really enjoyed watching the kitchen staff work. I cannot believe how much food they can push out so quickly. I had the boring breakfast, which is what I really enjoy eating. Eggs, bacon, toast and hashbrowns. Can't really get that one wrong. I do want to say the hashbrowns were nice and crispy. The only downside is the parking lot is very tight, but again, noon on Sunday could be a me problem. Overall fast, friendly, delicious, and great atmosphere.

food is still good but hostess staff rude last visit. I watched food handler pick scab with gloves on and go right back to handling food with same gloves on. Not ok. Wait staff is still incredibly kind and good!

it was less than an hour wait on a weekend for me and my friends. We came on a friend's recommendation after hearing about the biscuits and gravy. I admit I've never been a brunch person, but Doo-Dah Diner could convince me. Biscuits and gravy: so worth it-- 10/10. I don't need to order mix-made biscuits and gravy anywhere else when I can have theirs. Strawberry jalapeno jam: it was fine, but I didn't really taste the jalapeno. The strawberry was just less sweet, but it didn't taste unique, although it was good. Crab benedict: This was fantastic. The asparagus were perfect. Banana bread: Perfect for the sweet breakfast tooth. Monkey bread (sort of like a cinnamon pull-apart) was too sweet for me but I can definitely see the appeal, especially if you love the convenience of a giant cinnamon roll you can share. I thought it was a little pricey for the portion size. You could easily make the same at home with store-bought cinnamon bread.

I get to Wichita once a year, and the Doo-Dah Diner is a must for breakfast. The food is amazing and the service outstanding!

I'm not a fan. I'm sure I'll be ran out of town with a pitch forked mob but this place doesn't peek my intrust. Over sized, over fried huge messes that resemble so sort of home cooking comfort food. It's not my thing. I think the name is absurd and a bit pretentious of the owners to try to label Wichita as the doo dah city. Yes yes I know the history but it's still bullshit and I'm out on it all.

Wowza, if you love breakfast this is the spot for you. I've been here twice now and it exceeds all expectations. The banana bread French toast is incredibly delicious and GF. But the shining star for me was their current special of pork belly and grits, if this is on the menu when you come - get it. I love pork belly but am usually disappointed with the quantity in any dish. This was not only some of the best pork belly I've ever tasted, but the portion was generous. The pork belly was perfectly caramelized in some kind of maple or molasses and complimented the savory, cheesy grits perfectly. I would have taken a picture but I demolished the plate before I even thought about it. All in all this is a fantastic Wichita breakfast spot where anything on the menu is a treat.

Fantastic everything All the time without fail Never a bad plate Perfect spot, perfect family spot

Nah cause I'm mad! I've lived in Wichita for 4 1/2 years and never been here. I could have been big backed by 2022. Either way I'll for sure get there by 2025. A friend recommended this places and boy am I happy I came. Everything is priced reasonably. The staff is so friendly. My coffee never got low. The coffee cups are all different so it makes it feel like you are having breakfast at your mother in laws house. I will be back ever as much as possible. Save me a seat doo-dah and keep the coffee fresh!

This place is just good y'all! And our server was great. They're busy so consider making a reservation or be prepared to wait about an hour.

What's better than eating an awesome breakfast expertly prepared by Patrick Schibley and his team at Doo Dah diner? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Leading our meal with their famous monkey bread, my colleagues and I sat to just take in the clean and friendly atmosphere throughout the dining room. Between the three off us, we tried the biscuits and gravy, (the server mercifully tipped my friend off that a half order might be enough. It was more than enough) an omlette, and I went with the chicken fried steak with extra crispy hash browns rather than bread. That was a hard one because their homemade biscuits are legendary. But it was a 'hash brown' kind of morning and they were perfect. We had the great fortune of being there the first Tuesday they were open on. For months they had been closed on Tuesdays, but we lucked in to coming in to their 'soft Tuesday opening'. Even with no advertising or advanced formal announcements, the lot was at least halfway full. Good news travels quickly, and I guess if ya know, ya know. We were all very pleased with our meals and none of us could finish our plates. Servings are generous. You've been warned. Always worth a stop in Wichita!

Old-fashion diner menu items along with items with a modern flare served in a newly renovated dining space. Had a build-your-own omelet and it was good, but not great on either flavor or presentation. Monkey Bread bites were tasty and service was good.

Who wouldn't love Doo-Dah? This is a great Wichita gem. The wait staff is always fantastic. We hadn't been here in a while just due to several factors but man every time we go back I remember why we love it so much. Breakfast food with the Doo- Dah twist. Sad part is you have to buy monkey bread now BUT at least it's going to be available. I highly recommend Doo-Doh. If you haven't been go if you have been go back.

Our waitress Laura was coughing without covering her mouth or washing her hands after and was taking a long time take our order , the food was decent .

This place is hands down one of the best breakfast joints I've ever been to! I plan to stop in every time I come through Wichita

Was visiting my husband in Kansas and we decided to try this breakfast spot. Food was good but I do think it was pricey for what we got. 2 drinks and 2 breakfast meals was nearly $50. I had the chicken and waffles which was good but I've had better. The waffles were slightly soggy. The cheddar tator tots were divine! And my husband had a bread pudding which he liked. Service was amazing. Our waitress was so friendly and truly made the experience worth it for me. :)

They offer Great food. A *MUST* visit when you are there! Eggs Benedict was delicious; slightly sweet from the maple bacon and also savory from the homemade hollandaise sauce.

Waited nearly one hour. Was never seated and had to leave. Hostess told us "we are slowing seating". Terrible service!!

We went specifically for the banana bread French toast which was exceptionally wonderful. Our server was also very wonderful. Loved the look of the diner.

We have been here each time we have visited Wichita and it has yet to disappoint. Once again we are so impressed with the back of the house, the kitchen cranks out great food, well timed, and you can hear the communication and it's impressive. Just wanted to say hats off to you guys! Anyone that lives in the area or visits frequently and have not stopped in and tried it is missing out!

When I lived in Wichita breakfast and brunch was limited. It was my favorite place to go. The wait was often long but worth it. I dont remember too much about the service but im sure it was good once you were seated. Very bright inside. They had a bigger waiting area and I believe you could purchase items.

Delicious food! Packed up bologna and egg breakfast sandwich with hashbrowns. Huge portions. super good.

Best food and service in town. Staff is like family! We've moved out of the area but miss our regular visits to Doo-Dah with family and friends.

Food was amazing we really enjoyed the Triple D, with the biscuits and gravy. The service was amazing. Tina was the best waitress EVER, she was very attentive, sweet, and enthusiastic. She knows her stuff. Cute diner, clean, and eclectic. We had a great visit.

Best breakfast in Wichita. I've lost track of all the menu options I have tried at Doo Dah, but my favorite is a fight between the smothered breakfast burrito and the corned beef hash. Large quantities of food, so come with an appetite. Very busy on weekends so be prepared to wait.

The food was a 15 out of 10 and the service was even higher! We came here for Mother's Day breakfast and didn't have to wait too long. We got sat and our waitress was the most phenomenal person ever! Her outgoing personality and her knowledge of the menu was outstanding. Unfortunately, I forgot her name, but she has worked there about 15 years I think. I told her I either wanted the breakfast bologna and fried egg sandwich or the eggs and hashbrowns and she said by far have the bologna and fried egg cheese sandwich. That did not disappoint at all! The bologna was so thick and it had a smoked flavor that every bite was just heaven in my mouth. That was by far the best sandwich/breakfast I've had ever in my life! My son and his wife live in Wichita and unfortunately I do not, but I will be back to visit to come back to this diner! My husband had the smothered burrito and he loved it. We had monkey bread for a little appetizer and I just wanted more. Sure wish they would put a diner like this in Kansas City. Best experience ever!

We saw the reviews for the French banana bread and had to try it. We were seated quickly and our waitress was over in no time taking our drink order and telling us about the special. She was the sweetest lady ever!! The restaurant is very color, clean, and has a good vibe. We ordered the banana French bread with a side of bacon and the eggs Benedict with a side of hash browns. We also had the monkey bread. All the food was amazing! The banana bread was done up in true French-style, crispy outside and creamy inside. It wasn't dense or heavy. The cream on top was so delicious. My husband devoured the eggs Benedict, he said the sauce was delicious and the eggs were perfectly cooked. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area. We will go back and try lunch next visit!

Amazing! This was our first time eating at Doo-Dah. Everything was perfectly made: bacon crispy, eggs as ordered, pancake fluffy. I ordered the Tanya's Benny. This had maple bacon instead of ham and added avocado. Hollandaise sauce was so delicious. I will definitely order it again. My husband ordered the smothered burrito. He loved it but would have liked more egg and less chorizo to balance it out. It is smothered in green sauce. Delicious! Pancake was perfectly cooked. We were able to utilize the call ahead seating. I highly recommend this because it can get very busy in the morning. We had exceptional service! We will return for sure.

Super good and satisfying Clean place till their restroom Weak coffee, but I come for the meal + service Bought strawberry Jalapeno spread, cannot wait to try

Everything was so wonderful! I would eat the entire menu if I could! The maple on the pork belly hits hard. And even though I don't normally like grits this place definitely had me convinced
