Reviews
We like the little diners and local joints over the big chain restaurants. More personality!
Dottie’s opened in 1990, and sadly, Dottie her ownself had taken her trip up to Heaven a few years back. One of her 11 daughters owns the place now and is the cook. Another is a server and a one of Dottie’s granddaughters works there too. Judy, (?) our server, was not family.
Dottie’s Cafe is warm, neat as a pin and smells like good food when you first walk in. Remember the places your Grampa took you to eat breakfast (Have coffee) when you were a kid? Like that! My Sweetie had a traditional breakfast, and I chose Dottie’s signature dish, “The Hillbilly Surprise”.
The Hillbilly Surprise is an English muffin, ham, 2 eggs covered in sausage gravy with a heap of hash brown taters. I was rather in a quandary about how one eats a Hillbilly Surprise. Turns out, it’s like a Reese’s. “There’s no wrong way to eat a Hillbilly Surprise.” Knife, fork, cut, scoop, scooch, repeat.
Service was fast, good coffee and the food was hot and yummy! As you can see, the price was reasonable too. We enjoyed our visit to Dottie’s Cafe. We will be back!
Good food, good price, and our waitress was attentive.
Service is good. The cafe provides a typical small town diner experience.
The food is very good for diner food. It’s not high-end brunch quality, but it is delicious.
