Epitome of Southern Americana! Excellent breakfast! Fast, friendly service! The waitress was a one man band, and is a hard worker! I've lived here over 30 years, I had heard about this place but never had breakfast here. I'll definitely be back with friends.

Went to the Doodle for the first time. The all you can eat Catfish is the BEST catfish in the Upper Cumberland. Service with a smile ! Highly recommended

We stopped through on our travels through TN- the restaurant was clean, we were seen immediately and drinks very shortly after. Food came much quicker than we thought. 1000% order the tater tots- you won’t regret it!! Husband and I got the giant cheeseburgers and my 3 kids split a chicken strip dinner plate. Absolutely worth the stop!

The Doodle Family Restaurant Great is located just off interstate 40 north of Cookeville, Tennessee. I ordered their giant burger with fries and yes it was a giant burger dressed out with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. Crinkle fries came with it and completed a great first time meat at this restaurant. Fast service, great food and awesome prices have this place on the must visit list when in the area.

My friend and I had a great breakfast at The Doodle. I had a ham and cheese omelet and my friend had the Western omelet. Both were excellent. We highly recommend The Doodle.
