This narrow slice of North Side shuns trends and sticks to meat and potato fare. – The Scene Weekdays fill every seat for the daily Blue Plate lunch specials. What man could resist a plate full of meatloaf and gravy with the bar TV turned to the sports channel? Walls display authentic kitchen kitsch, the servers are called "waitresses," and twinkling Christmas tree lights create a cheery neighborhood atmosphere. The Food Dot's is a bar that serves good food. Blue Plate Specials have a strong following (meatloaf, roast turkey... read more

Atmosphere, cold beer & price is right – Waitstaff attentive and diligent. Food is good not great since losing head chef (tall guy). Beer and drinks cheap and cold.

AAA – Been going to Dots for quite a few years and love the breakfast but the people there are the best. They always make you feel welcome and comfortable. On a cold snowy/rainy day....you can't beat the Yankee Bean soup to warm you up. Cookie and her staff are the best around.

Win some/lose some – Food was excellent - and super value for the price. Waitress service, however, was extremely slow and sloppy (especially considering the low number of customers at the time). Cook was exceptionally slow as well. Noise level was very loud and sharp. While I would go back for the good food, I would take ear plugs and plan for a longer "dining experience".

I Love Dot's! – Dot's Back is the best. When you don't feel like dressing up, but you still want yummy food, go to Dot's. When you want good, friendly service that isn't snotty, go to Dot's. The Chicken Macarthur is great. Also try the cheeseburger with grilled onions. It isn't on the menu, but they'll make it for you. I'm so glad they rebuilt after the fire!
