Wonderful diner that took the place of The Field in central square! The place is known for their donuts, but liked the brunch items and drinks that we got here as well. They have a vegan menu as well in case people need it. Like with The Field, there’s an outdoor portion as well whenever there’s warmer and sunny weather.

The food came out quickly. I got a Jersey Jocks Dillberry Chicken Salad Sandwich and an omelet with spinach, tomato, mushroom, and cheddar, and a hot chocolate. The omelet was pretty bland and I had only two small pieces of mushroom in the whole thing. A mild white cheddar was used in it. I should have asked more questions about the cheese. So yeah, it could use more mushroom. I also thought the omelet was a little wet. I wanted it cooked a little more, but I was hungry. It makes more sense to me now why the server asked me if I wanted hot sauce or anything like that as soon as he brought it to the table. Also for the omelet cheese is extra at $1.99, and each topping is $.99 each- so for the mushrooms that is a buck, the spinach- a buck, and the tomatoes another dollar. The omelet itself is $7.99. The sandwich had my heart it was hearty mixed well and not too fatty- I would recommend it. Jersey Jack’s Dillberry Chicken Salad was $11.99. I asked for gluten free bread instead of what normally comes with the order and they had it, which was a pleasant surprise for both dishes. Which as far as I know did not cost more. The homefries on one plate tasted much better than the other as one had more burnt bits that I was not into. Hot chocolate is $2.79. I think I was overcharged so I called and left a message and shot them an email.

Fun place to eat! This restaurant had an extensive menu with food that you would expect at any diner. However, they also had unique dishes based on their donuts. I got the donut French toast and it was scrumptious! My husband got the Buffalo chicken wrap. Our 2 kiddos shared an adult portion of macaroni and cheese and they raved about it. We all shared a plate of chicken tenders for an appetizer. The alcoholic drinks were delicious- I ordered their Bloody Mary and my husband got a spicy strawberry margarita. They also have an extensive vegan menu and vegan donuts. Their donut case was irresistible- so we grabbed a small box of donuts to take home! Service was quick and pleasant.

I visited this diner on a Sunday morning with some girlfriends. The staff were friendly. The menu was great. They had your brunch go-tos and some unique options as well. I ordered avocado on the side and it came as a paste, guacamole like. Home fries were more like sautéed potatoes instead of the crispy potatoes I was expecting. I ordered from their vegan menu which had a good variety of options. My friends ordered from the regular non vegan menu. The setting was a little tight. Would definitely return if they had outdoor seating as I felt kind of o too of other guest.

It has a kind of modern diner atmosphere, I really like donuts so I was happy for the mix of the donuts and the diner breakfast. The ideas are good, the portions are fairly large, sometimes huge. We ordered at 2 pm (they are open until 3pm) and the only donut that they had left was the coconut donut. It was really nice, next time we aim to arrive earlier to try a different one too though. My only problem was that the donut that they have in the donut breakfast sandwich was way too oily for my taste, I wish it came with the same type of dough like the one in the coconut donut. The pickle fries were really nice too that it had spices in the batter, but it didn’t have enough pickles, i like it if it has thicker pickle pieces because it was soaked in oil, it was too thin.

Pretty standard diner. I had a Greek Omelette. It was pretty good, except it came with green peppers when it said it was coming with olives. The coffee was hot and bold. The service was very attentive. I recommend getting a donut. I had the maple bacon and it was great. It was too much for me to finish following the rest of my meal.

Donut villa had a great atomsophere and the potatoes that came with my meal were very tasty. Prices were affordable for the central area. My iced coffee came with some floating bits in it and the wait staff changed it right away. My only complaint would be that the food was cold by the time it reached us, and booth service is only for parties of 3+, but that’s understandable. Overall great place for a Sunday breakfast.
