I had a hard time to decide which burger I would like, as they all looked very good.

The side for the burgers were also good, and the chocolate milkstake, thanks for a few great meals!!

I would always come back!

I first started going to Dotty's in the 70's, the first week Jeff opened on Monroe street in a little hut.

He moved to Regent Street then downtown. The burgers are still the best.

Love the place...fun, friendly...always feel welcome.

I was only in town for the night and chose this place to eat. It was very busy on a Wednesday night. I waited 20 minutes for a table and boy was it worth the wait! Ordered onion rings as an appetizer and they were great. Ordered The Melting Pot burger and it was the best burger I have ever eaten! Awesome place! Awesome food! Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere and burgers were great. Had the appetizer sample basket. Good if you like fried foods. Loved all their different sauces. Ended with a milk shake... yummy.
