You can't beat an old fashioned diner off the beaten path. We looked for a place like this and here it is. Small town atmosphere and the best food around. Definitely recommend it ! read more

The place was pretty busy when I came and when I say down the chairs weren't at all comfortable (blue chairs). From the ceiling, blinds, windows, and walls everything looked so dirty, as if no one cared about the looks and only about the money. It took what felt like 30 minutes to get my food, I had ordered a lot. And when I ate it was worth it, just so you know I had ordered a 3-2-1. Bacon tasted amazing. I had tried some French fries those were also good. When I tried the pancakes it felt like a tasted one of heavens clouds. Syrup was great and I overall loved the food. Staff were very kind, though they asked if we needed anything only twice, and I didn't really see them checking in on people far away and more over talking to the people close to the kitchen. They did tell us when the food was about to be done. When they did serve us our food eventually they served everything on clean plates. Over all great business/dinner would recommend. 4 Stars. read more

New hours is inconvenient. Wait to let us sit down for a good 5mins before coming to tell us they're closed but it is 8:30. While walking in a waiter turned their backs to us. to avoid serving read more

Everywhere I looked was dirty. I don't think they've ever cleaned this place. Had to wait an hour for our food on a very slow day. Cooks were nowhere to be found. While I was eating i pulled a red hair out of my food. DISGUSTING!!! Staff was weirdly flirty and off putting. Will not return and will be telling everyone I know not to come here. read more

Went for breakfast and was on point. Service was friendly and funny. Everyone seems to enjoy their selves.

Its a not very unique Dots location. Im not a big fan of eating breakfast anywhere than at home because no. 1, I do a better job, no. 2, its the cheapest meal you can make and no. 3 , I am very impatient. This location , we visited after Zeta but before Ida, was still having a hard time with the breakfast crowd. Took a little longer than I am used to so it made my edgy and unhappy. Grumpy if you will. The food came out as we ordered. Wifey likes her bacon extra crispy, they pulled that off. The eggs were the way I like, it all just took a little too long. There isn't a lot of choices in the area so if you cant cook at home, stop on in. Just don't be starving and expecting fast fast food. read more

Dots Diner - Luling - a view of a restaurant kitchen - Diners Near Me - Luling, Louisiana

My quest to eat at every Dot's location is now complete. If you're looking for a classic diner with good, reasonably priced, food find yourself any of Dot's five locations. In case you were not aware, I am a ridiculous human being. A while back one of my co-workers suggested we get breakfast for lunch and that Dot's is where we should go. We went, and it was great. That is when we decided we should visit every location and see which is the best. When we first decided to hit every location we made a huge miscalculation. We thought all of the Dot's were in Jefferson Parish. It wasn't until we went online that we saw St. Charles had it's own location in beautiful Luling. I don't get to Luling very often so the trip here was made specifically to eat at Dot's. From the looks of the place, it must have been a different business before becoming a Dot's. It is right next to a hotel on beautiful Hwy 90 and is very easy to get to. Service was among the most friendly of all the locations. They could tell we were new as most of the other customers seemed to be long time regulars. That didn't stop them from treating us great and making sure we left happy. The food here was, like the rest of the locations, very good. I'd go so far as saying it's the best breakfast I've ever had in St. Charles Parish other than crosandwichs with my dad on the way to fishing as a kid. This visit ended my quest to try every Dot's. I'd rank this location as #5 only because it is so far from my normal stomping grounds. But you can bet that the next time I am in Luling, I will be eating here. read more

Breakfast at Dots Diner in Luling. Our first visit to a dots diner ever and we were very impressed. Don't be put off by this humble joint, as they actually serve up one of the best breakfasts in South Louisiana. The service here was great, they take your order fast and get you coffee as soon as your seated. My spouse enjoyed the Steak breakfast with the steak cooked medium rare and along with eggs sunny side up, hash browns and toast. The steak was cooked properly and the eggs were just right. I was amazed, impressed and delighted with the Creole Queen Breakfest which was Crawfish smothered over two eggs (Sunny Side Up!) with biscuits, hash browns and toast. It's rare nowadays that I find a new breakfast dish, but this was a new discovery for me and it was amazing! A perfect combination of Crawfish, sauce and eggs! I highly recommend Dots Diner in Lulling for their great breakfast selections to start out your day! read more

My first time here and I must say the wait was worth it..I had tried the breakfast sandwich with a side of loaded hashbrowns. The only negative thing I would say is that the poboy bread that the sandwich came on was hard. I will be back when I'm in Louisiana read more

Good homemade comfort food!! The staff is so friendly! We go at least 2-3 times a week. read more

It's a shame that Dots is not better than what they are, the food is very good but I feel they are overpriced. A couple things holding them back is one of the 2 owners , specifically Mark. the man does not know how to run a business he walks in with his nose in the air and does not take customers comments or suggestions into consideration and does not take care of his employees. the Biggest problem in that establishment is their one cook by the name of Anthony, he yells at his waitresses and co cooks in front of customers, he does this wuite often, and nothing gets done about it. The waitresses there are Fantastic Ladies !! the assistant manager Tashia should be the store manager not the assistant. And their main cook Aaron is absolutely Fantastic !! read more

The cook put the chicken in the microwave after complaining that he didn't care how long the food took even though there was only 3 or 4 tickets all of which were tables of 2. The chicken for the salad was cooked on the flat top but mine was put in the microwave for some reason. My dad got his food and then I had to wait another 5 minutes cause he didn't care and had the server plate up my food. The chicken was super tough, and the mash potatoes were cooler than a polar bears toenails. July 6th about 845pm read more

Delicious, homemade food cooked super quickly, great coffee & always good service!!! We love to have breakfast at this location.

first of all their website and google states they close at 10 but was notified they are closing at 9! then I order the catfish plate but was not allowed to order from the sides list as I wanted! I could only choose a veggie and a regular side even though they are all on the sides list! no where on the menu states any of this! read more

We stopped in tonight around 11:30 pm. They were pretty busy with football families after a game. Since they were crowded we anticipated waiting for our food, but we didn't have to wait as long as expected. My omelette and hash browns were cooked perfectly. Dinner for two with a tip was under $20. Absolutely a great value. It looks like the building used to be a Waffle House, but the food was soooooo much better. It was also a lot cleaner than any Waffle House I've been in. Breakfast is served all day, and each weekday has a different lunch special available until 4pm. We loved the food, the prices and the friendly service. read more

Server was excellent, went for grilled fish and the shrimp and corn soup....BOTH no longer available!!! Not cool at all. Everytime we ordered, no matter what we ordered, we got 2 bowls of the soup. Very disappointed. This location should not be treated like the ones in the city. read more

I had the Creole Queen for breakfast and It was soooooo good. Dots' environment has a family vibe to it, it seemed that everyone knew each other because the waitress' were so nice and have a mother feel to them. Service was fast and my coffee cup was never empty, I will come here again! read more

My friend and I enjoyed the atmosphere here so much! Such a throwback to retro diner vibes complete with caring staff, old-fashioned signage, and a healthy flow of regulars. We each ordered omelets (the cajun and the veggie lover) and both enjoyed them and the hash browns we had chosen as a side. I mean, really just good diner food that you can't go too wrong with; I'd definitely return to this location when in the area! read more

Food never came. The workers were only worried about these to-go orders had to just walk out along with the crowd of people getting turned away or sitting for just a moment only to realize there hope for getting a nice meal was crushed. read more

Very good service and the food is good too. They have a pretty good variety on their menu but I mostly enjoy the breakfast. It's a cute little spot for early morning coffee and a quick bite to eat. I've never really been disappointed with that and would definitely recommend it. read more

One of the best diners I been to in Louisiana! I stayed at a motel nearby and this diner was the closest spot to eat something quick to eat. This place offers what feels and tastes like home cooked food! I ate here once and ordered take out twice, and there will definitely be more times that I visit. It's worth the price and gives you a full belly. The employees have a great attitude and give their best customer service. Don't let the small building fool you, it's a must you try this place out! My favorites are the Dot big breakfast, Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and the liver and eggs. Oh and you gotta try the blueberry pancakes! Enjoy!!! read more

The staff is good and coffee better. I had the really big omelette. It is huge but a little under cooked. The place is clean. And friendly so I'll come back. read more

Breakfast is served all day. Always packed on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Three of us had breakfast at 930 am on Saturday. The small restaurant was crowded. Fortunately there was one vacant table. It's not unusual to see people waiting to be seated. There was a large selection of breakfast choices, pancakes, eggs, omelets, biscuits, breakfast meats, etc. Prices were affordable. The wait for the food was long as food is freshly cooked to order. The food was tasty and good. Go there for breakfast but allow time. We were there an hour at the peak breakfast hour, Saturday. read more

Had their breakfast.....was great2 eggs...2 bacon...2 sausage....2 pancakes...grits...hash browns.....a lot of food.

Friendly staff and a clean diner. Dot's house favorite is the Creole Queen for breakfast. Dinner specials, soups, old fashioned shakes and malts are what makes this a down home local spot. read more

I 'm a regular at this location. Been coming here over 26 years. Have had excellent service 99% of the time. But today.... Just YUCK!!!! I sat at the bar and watched the unmasked dishwasher open mouth cough, which in itself during Covid-19 time... is SCARY! If the management is reading this, look at the cameras around 10:29-10:35am. Then he took a paper towel and coughed up his phlem, spit it in there, then wipe his mouth and nose with the paper towel. I watched him. Looked in his eyes.... waiting for him to bend and wash his hands. He stood there looking back at me and then reached into the dishwasher and grabbed a bowl fingers deep inside of it and placed it on the shelf. Next he grabbed 3 serving plates, his palm touching the center of the top plate and placed them on the shelf. I am TOTALLY GROSSED TF OUT. I think I will be taking a LONG break from eating here, until a new dishwasher is found. I do not want to be a Typhoid Mary victim. Read up on her story and you will understand. read more

Dots Diner - Luling - Diners Near Me - Luling, Louisiana

Consistently good food at a great price in a clean restaurant served by friendly staff.

The setting is an old style classic diner, the menu is of classic diner items along with a mixture of breakfast and Cajun foods and breakfast is served all day which is a nice option. Burgers are large, although the patty themselves leave a little to be desired in the way of seasonings and taste but an overall good experience. Their breakfast items are on point and there is a good variety of options and they have a daily food special which I haven't tried but looking at the menu it would be well worth it. The servers are friendly and attentive, the food arrives fairly quickly depending on the items ordered and you get to watch the preparation process. The overall ambiance of the place is what draws you in. Doesn't look like much from the outside but once you step in you get the feeling you stepped back in time a few years. Would definitely recommend for anyone passing by for any meal of the day. read more
