Dorthalees's Is Now Closed...
My husband I usually go out for breakfast on Mondays because he leaves for out of town then. For the past couple of times we decided to give Dorothalees a try. For the most part it is ok. The prices are good for what you get. But I have found that the service isn't that great.
I ordered the mushroom and swiss omelet. With that you get hash browns and toast. I believe it was only $4.95 for that and then I had coffee. For the price it was good. But the flavor was ok, but kinda on the bland side. My husband is fonder of Rise and Dine down the street.
If you have been out to Washington or lived here for some time. You may know the location of Dorthalees. It use to be called Bishops and then the Tumbleweed moved in there. From what I gather, the Tumbleweed is still part owners of it. I do have to say, the inside is very nice. In the back of my mind though, I believe people still are thinking about Bishops being in there, the prices and the down home feel. I know when I go in there, I can't help but think about the warmth the place use to have and the atmosphere. You knew what to expect and you got that. You got the joking around and the family feel. I do not feel that now when I go into Dorothalees. It has a bit of a standoffish crew. They all dress in black and white and look nice. But it just doesn't feel like a warm atmosphere and very friendly. The past couple of times we have been there as well, they have ran out of something. But like I said, the price is good.
If you want food, this is a place to eat at and for me that's about it. There isn't anything great about the place, but it is what it is. The type of foods you will find there eggs, pancakes, french toast , omletes and normal breakfast items, a variety of sandwiches, burgers and salads for lunch. The dinner menu offered choices such as BBQ Ribs, meatloaf, chicken fried steak and pot roast.
Below is a rundown of the information, location and prices...Speaking of prices, if you order drinks, after 2 be ready to pay for refills. Plus they have coke products. And if you know me, that's not cool.

Cleanliness- Very Clean
Atmosphere- If you're looking for a great dining experience, Dorthalee's probably isn't the place for you. It is pretty much a typical diner type of atmosphere, minus the friendliness. However, if you're looking for a meal that relatively inexpensively, you should give them a try.
Please note that I gave this a negative review only because it isn't one of those places that is real good or great at service. But if cheap is good for you, then go for it.
