Dolsie’s Lunch Box Grille

Dolsie’s deserves a five star rating! I’ve lived in St. Cloud for most of my life, and I can’t believe I didn’t stumble upon Dolsie’s until this year. It is now my go-​to place if I’m craving classic comfort food that is made with care. It is such a perfect gem if you’re looking for a place that will give you amazing service and food to match. The first time I went with my boyfriend, I got «The Gorilla» and it was absolutely delicious. It is an open faced burger, which was such a fun and tasty twist on it. It made it easier to eat! We shared some clam chowder soup which hit the spot! It was nice and creamy, and not too thick. The second time I went to Dolsie’s, I purchased a gyro and chicken wild rice soup and it was very satisfying! You really can’t go wrong at Dolsie’s! Parking can be limited, so make it out there on a Saturday if you can! You won’t be disappointed and it will keep you coming back!

I am never disappointed at Dolsie’s. I have ordered several different plates, and I have enjoyed every one. Friday fish tacos are definitely some of the best fish tacos I have had anywhere, ever.
And the ollies with their cheese sauce… I would eat these alongside anything.

Pam and Paul are great hosts. How Paul remembers names is a mystery. The home cooked dishes are all amazing and affordable. It’s a great place for a lunch meeting with fast friendly service and a quiet atmosphere. My new fave place. Keep up the great work.

I came here yesterday with a friend for the first time and loved it so much I had to bring my husband in today!!!

Many reviewers gave Dolsie’s high marks, so I decided to try them. Dolsie’s is located downtown and is open Monday through Saturday for lunch only. It has the feel of a lunch diner, and is decorated with historic photos of St. Cloud and some artwork of legendary Hollywood celebrities.
I was a little disappointed. Perhaps my expectations were too high. I ordered the sliced steak sandwich (philly) with provolone, onions, mushrooms, and green peppers, as well as a side of onion rings, for pickup. The order was placed online using Unilocal,and fulfilled through Eat Street.
Parking is on the street, so bring some change for the meter. When I arrived at the restaurant, business was brisk. I counted 37 people in the restaurant, leaving little room at any of the tables. Unfortunately, my order wasn’t ready. The restaurant was having difficulties with their fax machine, so Eat Street had to phone the order in.
The cashier did apologize, and my order was prepared as quickly as possible. I think it suffered a bit because of that. The onion rings were overdone. I was given a half-​filled container of the campfire sauce (which was zesty and delicious) for the onion rings. The food was prepared fresh right there on the grill. It was served to me hot. My sandwich looked good, but seemed to be missing something (maybe the mushrooms). It had good flavor, but I wasn’t a big fan of the cornmeal sub bread that the sandwich came on. It didn’t have a fresh taste to it. The sandwich came au jus… using that helped me to appreciate the sandwich.
I’m willing to give Dolsie’s another try, but must confess that I came away a bit disappointed.
The restaurant also has what look to be a variety of homemade gourmet cupcakes (malted milk, neopolitan, etc.). Perhaps one of those would have ended my meal on the right note. Next time, I’ll have to try one.

Dolsies is the best. I go here all of the time and have never been disappointed. The owners are warm and welcoming everyday. and once you try the food you will crave it especially pastrami sandwich and a Philly cheesesteak not to mention the fish tacos are amazing the walleye sandwich and turkey sandwich and the soups actually everything there is amazing I recommend you trying it once and you will be hooked.
And Pam and Paul are the best!!!

So impressed! Wonderful food and incredible service. You can tell that the staff truly cares about the quality of the food and the interaction with customers. Support local!!!

Picked up my brother for lunch a while back and didn’t know where to eat. Unilocal!Lead us to this place. I think we were the first customers of that day. I ordered the Cheesesteak sandwich and a side of onion rings. The sandwich came out looking like a french dip. My first bite into it was AMAZING! Probably one of the best hour sandwiches I had in a very long time. The flavors was all there, the meat was moist and not dried out. The Onion rings was ok, not bad. The gal who took our order was very nice and the cook (owner) was also very nice. He saw us taking pictures and said does his food look that good? Yes it does boss man! But tastes better! Must try when your in the area. Can’t wait for my next trip through St. Cloud.

Dolsies is the best. I go here all of the time and have never been disappointed. The owners are warm and welcoming everyday.
The menu is fairly simple but very delicious. You’d be surprised at how much you will crave a club sandwich after you’ve tried Dolsies. They spice things up with their daily specials.
I recommend Dolsies to anyone and everyone.
P. S. Their cupcakes are bomb.

This is one of the best restaurants in St Cloud! The menu is fun and tasty, and the staff and owners are very welcoming! You have to try it for yourself!

Great food and service here at Dolsie’s. I have become a regular here and am never disappointed even when trying different menu choices each time. The walk up counter for ordering is café style and the dining area and setup have a 50’s diner feel, but the food is out of this world! The prices are also fair when considering the portion sizes. Most of the menu isn’t health food, but it’s good home cooking. The Ollie fries are served with a cheese sauce and are a must have.

Wonderful spot for a quick lunch spot! Simple, yet delicious, menu items with home baked desserts make this lunch spot perfect for any group of people!

You know, for a new restaurant you’d expect some unpleasant inconsistencies or screw ups. Not here! Great restaurant. Nice and warm service (owner Dolsie himself and mrs Dolsie). The menu is very diverse and everything I’ve had so far is beyond expectations. Definitely recommend visiting Dolsie’s if you are out and about downtown Saint Cloud ! MmMmmm
