Came here because of the Christmas decor during the holidays and glad I came in. They also had more decor inside and it's definitely a local hangout spot. Tried the patty melt and it was solid. They give you options on what type of potato you want which was a nice touch. Mom got the fish and chips and she liked it. We rarely visit this town, but I'd return for this.

I go here a few times a month for breakfast. If you go early ( before 8am) on Sundays, you will beat the rush. Breakfast is good. Lots of food. Bacon & Egg breakfast is a lot of food. solid value. They need to give you an option to substitute one pancake in place of toast with your breakfast. Pancake batter is cheaper than bread, so no idea what they are thinking. Jelly process needs to be addressed. If you like marionberry there will always be some if the basket is on the table. Sometimes you can get strawberry. You will never see: Apple Grape Peach Orange Marmalade Blueberry Red Raspberry Another irritation, they will use old/ dirty wet rags to wipe down tables and never dry the table. I now expect to have to dry them with my shirt sleeve. They struggle to keep line cooks, if you read the reviews you will see why

I've ate here a few times with my wife. The service is great the staff is very friendly & the food is awesome. You definitely won't leave hungry:).

Two huge thumbs up to Mr. Dougs Restaurant in Yelm! We had a medical appointment in Yelm a while back and it ran up to dinner time. Hungry and tired from driving around, we knew we were too far from home to wait and eat until we drove back. Instead, we looked around for a homey and comfy looking spot to dine. We found it at Mr. Dougs! My wife ordered the Turkey Dinner and she was very happy with it. Hot, tender, and moist turkey meat served with potatoes, veggies, stuffing, cranberry, and a dinner roll! It was like a delicious T-giving meal in July! I had one of my all-time favorite dishes ... Country Fried Steak! I don't know what it is about it (maybe the pounded meat, maybe the light breaded fryness, maybe the yummy gravy ... nah, it's ALL of it)! I love this stuff. I've tried a good number of C.F.S. in my years, and Mr. Dougs ranks up there with the best! Good quality meat, perfect amount of breading, and the gravy was great. I could tell it was fresh and not sitting out on the serving tray for a while, as the breading wasn't soggy with the gravy - nice job! Our son got a hamburger and he liked it too. A couple two or three Root Beers to wash it down with and we were good to go! The service was great too. Friendly, down to earth, real people! A nice change of pace from being in the big city for so long. We love our little family restaurants and Mr. Dougs Restaurant is another positive notch on the post of delicious meals in a friendly, home town feelin' place!

The food and service is seriously amazing! Extremely friendly. Family friendly. The food is mouth watering, I had gotten biscuits and gravy and it was the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had!

Best chicken fried steak breakfast anywhere around. It seriously didn't taste like a frozen product. The biscuit was perfect.... Not dry at all. The freezer jam they serve is divine as well. Definitely our new favorite breakfast joint. We've eaten lunch and dinner here as well and have never been disappointed.
