“ Brings joy to my heart! Excellent service, good food, fair prices, creamy shakes. ”
“ My mom and I decided to go to Doumar’s for lunch. We have heard about Doumar’s for years, and today was our first time eating there. The cheeseburgers and fries were very good. The simplicity of the food is what makes it good. I ordered a Cherry Coke, and it was delicious since they make it themselves. The hot fudge cake was delicious as well. We will return to try some more of their eats and treats. ”
“ Nothing better than Doumar’s. Got a couple of hot dogs with mustard and onions. I love how they chop the onions so fine. It’s not just good food, the service and atmosphere lend to the experience. When I drove by I almost didn’t stop because the place was so busy, the parking lot was almost full. I decided to take a chance, went inside to order takeout. Even though they were full, I only waited a couple of minutes to get my food. It is a madhouse in there with everybody doing their part, making drinks, making dessert, plating the food, and taking the food to the cars. It’s exciting to see old fashion car hops with the trays that hang on the door. Hot dogs are $2.40 each. ”
“ Doumar’s in Norfolk is a true local treasure and one of my favorite places to eat in the entire Hampton Roads area. If you’re looking for comforting, old school diner food done right, this is the spot. The BBQ pork sandwich is a must try!!! tender, flavorful, and served with just the right amount of slaw to balance the smoky meat. Their burgers are simple but perfect, griddled to juicy perfection and stacked with classic toppings. The hot dogs have that satisfying snap, and the crinkle cut fries are always hot, crispy, and well seasoned. And the milkshakes? Thick, creamy, and made just how they should be. I highly recommend the chocolate or strawberry, both are rich without being overpowering. Portions are generous, prices are more than fair, and everything comes out fast whether you eat inside or pull up at the drive-in. It’s that kind of food that reminds you why the classics never go out of style. There’s nothing pretentious about Doumar’s, just great food served with care. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, this place never disappoints. I’ll keep coming back again and again. Five stars all the way. ”
