Doyle's Restaurant

Hurry! This family owned restaurant is closing in 3 days. There are great menu options on the website. It is a favorite among area residents. There is a To Go window if the place is full. On Wednesday and Friday, the hours are 11am to 3 pm. On Thursday the closing time is 8 pm. Best wishes to the family. They will be missed.

This is the best mom and pop restaurant around. Been there since I was born. Four generations of our family has eaten there. When I was pregnant with my 1st, we went to Doyle's twice a week for their works Pizza with beef and I ALWAYS brought an extra home. Gonna miss this place terribly. They are not only great food but make you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door! So saddened that they are closing. Your restaurant will be terribly missed and longed for not to say talked about and remembered for many, many years. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's and hope all your further endeavors are as wonderful as Doyle's Restaurant even if it is retiring and enjoying life. The Doyle's family and the restaurant are true ICONS in Houston and we wish all the best to you and your family. When the original Mr Doyle started with the help of a local bank, I believe it was Oak Forest, he had no idea just how wonderful his dream would be and how quickly it was accepted by so many lifetime patrons and that it would go on for several generations. God bless all the past and present Doyle family members this most holy, magical and giving Christmas. Mark and Karen Goodwin

If you haven't been yet, now is your chance. I have heard that the sandwiches come recommended, but I also wanted to try their American-Italian style that they're classically known for. I ordered both! First I tried the club. Huge club! Good sandwich, hard to mess up, saved half to bring home. The club comes with chips or coleslaw. I got the chips; they were ok. Homemade fries would've been better imo. Next I tried the lasagna. Large portion. Lots of cheese 😋. Something was a tad unbalanced in the recipe and I get the feeling that the extra cheese is there to cover that up. Either way I was satisfied with the dish. I feel like there might be some pricing issues with a few menu items. My sister got the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich (HUGE piece of chicken) for $8! While I'm not one to turn down a good deal, I feel that may be a contributing factor to the fact Doyle's is shutting down soon. 3 star for quality 4.5 star for pricing 4.5 star for friendly and attentive service 4 star overall It's sad to see that a restaurant with a stellar past like Doyle's will not be around for much longer. I would've liked to have seen this place in its prime -- I'm sure it would've stood toe to toe with the best of them.

Doyle's is hands UP the best for an all inclusive menu suitable for all taste! There's also vegan options too. It's an historic staple in Oak Forest since before I was born, --and I just heard it's closing early next year😭. Soooo run, don't walk to make your heart and your stomach happy! Check the new hours though before you go. Everything is an enjoyable feast; but, my favorite is the Shrimp Creole with Mozzarella on top and ANY slice of homemade pie!!!! Soooooo delicious...like Grandma used to make, I promise!

Fantastic place. This was hidden, and I never thought much of it passing by. Inside, their history is all over the walls which is pretty cool to look at. It's a nice small diner-style inside. The sandwiches are a rather big portion. I had the Smokehouse Chicken for $8, and it was DELICIOUS. Huge too. I couldn't finish it. Their sweet tea tasted fresh as well.

Eating at Doyle’s’s is like putting on a comfortable sweater and sitting down at your grandma’s kitchen table for dinner! They are known for their Italian food; simple, delicious and generous portions w/some killer garlic bread. BUT, their deli sandwiches are really good (Ruben is my favorite), as are the salads (love the Heartland w/fried chicken), the burgers (just don’t expect fries! Chips or potato salad ), and strangely enough, the GUMBO, OMG! And the pizza, thick or thin, 7-12- or 16” ALL good (the Works, for me!) Prices are very reasonable, although the service can sometimes be iffy, the food makes up for it. In a hurry? Call ahead and pick up at the window. Or sit on the porch and enjoy your dinner outside at this neighborhood institution since the ‘50’s!!

I was hungry for Italian so I found this place when I did a search. Staff was very nice and food came out quickly for lunch. I had the chicken spaghetti pasta and it was delicious! This place has been there for a long time and they have a huge menu so it's a great place to bring a family or group.. I would definitely recommend this place!
