The Dory And Riverside Lounge

Just passing through, stopped here for a bowl of chowder and to read my Kindle. Ended up having lunch with two strangers who walked in behind me... Cathy and Debbie had the pan Fried oysters that Dave the cook made to order (even though it wasn't Friday or Saturday). I had his award winning chowder... He promised if it wasn't the best I ever had he would eat his hat in the street. He didn't have to.

They serve a good country breakfast. The prices are very reasonable. I got a $4.95 special. A plate size pancake, an egg and 2 bacons. It was good and filling. We are trying the burgers tonight.

Excellent breakfast. Bacon was all meat great taste. Fresh eggs and very good biscuits and gravy. Huge pancake perfectly cooked. Excellent customer service. This a Cash Only place but have ATM in restaurant.

After being seated the most immediate observation was the number of flies. Not sure if it's due to the nearby dairy operations and they don't see it as an issue or have given up but as a patron it is uncomfortable to have flies hovering and landing while eating. On the plus side the breakfast portion was ample, served hot and fairly quick and at a good price. May return if/when in the area again.

I ordered the cheeseburger and the wife got the chili. The cheeseburger had maybe 2oz of meat, and 1/2 of an onion. It was awful. When I showed it to the server she said they were all that size. A salad on a bun. Chili was ok. Go to some other restaurant down the road.
