      Definitely worth trying out, small little place.. but had the diner feel. Staff was friendly, our waitress was attentive. Nothing fancy about the place.. but let's chat about the food.. I had the cheesesteak and fries my boyfriend had the fried catfish dinner with frys and green beans.

      My cheesesteak was cooked perfectly, great flavor and the frys were fresh with a good taste. His Catfish was very good according to him (I don't eat ugly fish lol) and he also complimented the frys. He didn't want the green beans so I tasted them and ended up eating the entire bowl. It was loaded with some sort of kilbasa sausage and bacon.. yum!

      Sorry I only grabbed a pic of my meal because he dove into his before I could get my camera out..

      We will definitely go back, we both love these kind of places when the food is amazing and the price doesn't break the bank.

      Excellent service with a filling breakfast. I ordered French toast and couldn't eat the entire meal. Food was hot and prepared quickly. Just what I needed after a long night shift.

      I just left from eating there at lunchtime on a Sunday. There were only people at four tables. I sat down by myself. I just ordered a patty melt with french fries. It took about 25 minutes for the food to come out, which I thought was ridiculous considering there weren't many people in there. The only time I saw my waitress was whenever she greeted me and then took my drink order. After me at my watch when another waitress came by, and she saw me looking at my watch, my food showed up. The patty melt was good, but the fries were starting to get cold. I immediately ate my food, paid and left. I was going to get a to go order for my wife, but I elected since it took 25 minutes just to get my food, I didn't feel like waiting in there another 30 minutes.

      Dirty diner. Butter served in a squeeze bottle. Eggs overly cooked. Dirty tables. Not recommended.

      We tried Dot's back in 2019 when we were visiting the area with friends and loved it. We returned a few days ago hoping to recapture the experience and it was even better! We love cafe's, bistros and coffee shops. Only rarely do we go to chain restaurants, but Dot's is the exception to that rule.

      Breakfast - or rather brunch - late breakfast (just before lunch) is our favorite meal of the day. Dot's is a mecca for brunch. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a lively mid-century Ma-Pa establishment. It's clean, bright and the servers were proud of the restaurant and presented themselves well.

      If you get tired of throwing your money away on overpriced, mediocre food, drop in to Dot's and have a professionally made meal without a lot of hoopla.

      I'm a diner junky. I've gotta stop if I see one. I will say, very odd little spot but food wasn't bad at all. I'd return for the food but not the service/staff. Like I said this place was odd. The chefs cook in a room that has a window to the kitchen but they can only enter and exit through a door that's outside of the building. The staff is walking in and out in and out like customers. Some skeptical things were going on outside Dots Diner by the staff. Overall good food but due to the activities happening, breakfast took 45 min to arrive. Perhaps I'd try it again

      I know Dot is Dot but ive been to this Dot twice and twice the food has been bad. Last time they overcooked the omelette so bad it was terrible. This time I had the pancakes and they were embarrassingly bad. The pancakes were way too thick and cooked on a dirty griddle. The bacon though was excellent, my friend ordered the BLT and that was probably the safest thing to order here.

      Dirty griddle from someone that doesn't know hot to make pancakes.
