The staff is great! My wife and I go every Sunday for breakfast. Perfect diner food. And, the donuts.... literally award winners!
We arrived just after noon. The place was fairly empty (at least 5 tables empty, including multiple booths), yet we had to wait for someone to “clean the booth.” But no one was cleaning the booth and after over 5 minutes, I nearly left.
Finally, the same girl who told us to wait directed us to go sit in a particular booth. No, she didn’t take us there; she pointed.
We had breakfast items (omelet for me and eggs and corned beef hash for my husband). We paid an extra $1.50 for EACH vegetable added to my omelet when the pieces were so minuscule and maybe there were 2Tbsp of vegetables added. So skimpy. Why not add more veggies? Who is it hurting? You think you’re not making money on it? The quantity of home fries was also skimpy.
Food was prepared quickly and nice and hot. Server was very friendly and nice. I was just very turned off by the portions.
I’m actually surprised Dottie’s doesn’t have five stars! This place is a gem! Although rare to find today, this place was adequately staffed with friendly hard working people. The place is clean and the food is great. We are from out of town and just happened upon it. We are so glad we did. highly recommend for a quick meal! We were in and out within a 1/2 hour on a Sunday
The layout of this nostalgic themed diner makes good sense. To serve customers on their way to work or who are in a hurry, Dottie's has an entrance room that offers breakfast pastries and desserts plus a thermos coffee bar. For those who want to dine in, there is a good sized dining area with booths and counter with stools. Fun kitschy art decorates the walls.
Open seven days a week from 7:00 AM until 3:00 PM, breakfast and lunch items are on the menu. Squeaking in at 2:30, staff was happy to serve us. Very thirsty, we ordered lemonade. Like most diners, there are many things to choose from, and I decided to get a grilled hamburger from a local blue ribbon farm with sweet potato fries. Cooked rare as ordered. My partner chose the British style fish and chips meal with regular fries. The fish was really moist and fresh with the right amount of batter.
