Server came to our table with mask around her chin. When asked if she would mind putting it on please, she walked away saying she would have someone else take care of us. Second server, Olivia, was lovely and courteous, service was prompt and efficient, and the food was great diner classics. The one star review is based strictly on the attitude of the server. Everyone forgets from time to time. Had she simply apologized and pulled her mask up, then no big deal - but that attitude is COMPLETELY unacceptable. read more

Service has always been good. Food is good. It's Dots, not expecting 5 star experience. What I am expecting is a clean restaurant. Arrived at 6:30, dirty floods and sticky table. Please correct read more

Really good breakfast food!!! Loved dining at this spot while in NOLA with my family. Everything we had was fresh and really tasty. Not only was the food great but the service was even better, our waitress was so friendly. The inside of the place reminded me of a diner from the 50s. It was pretty clean, didn't make me feel gross or uncomfortable. I remember it being located kinda in the cut, like it's definitely not close to anywhere jumping or downtown. The prices were very affordable. Can't wait to come back and try more things! read more

Dots Diner - Diners Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Multiple places have been great in the past, but one or two things can reduce their appeal. While the food still good, at typical Dot's diners, they've done one thing to absolutely run the experience and that's at the cash register. This force tipping thing starting at 18% is ridiculous. I'm absolutely not going to be forced to give a tip for bad service when the waitress let us sit there for 10 minutes without acknowledging us finally acknowledged us and then was another 10 minutes coming back to take our order acting like it was our fault, I believe that her words were well. I've been busy, but I'm here now without being prompted. So you expect bad service on a Saturday morning when the place is filled even though they've got tons of waitresses the manager was completely asleep at the switch, not realizing several tables were not being cared for and two people/families walked out. What does that cost you in revenue if you do that every Saturday morning? But again this has to do also with the forest tipping wear when you go to get your bill and give them your credit card it pops up and says 18%, 20%, or 22% tip. If you change or do something to reflect a 15% tip or no tip, the waitress and cashier/waitress are right there watching you. So you weren't as attentive whenever we were sitting down waiting for service but you're very attentive when it comes to that money money we're going to give you at the end, which we still did more than 20%, we just make sure we did it manually. does this bother me the first time that I saw this may be three months ago at dots but I've been back a half dozen times cents, but today was my last day. Whoever the corporate person is that has decided to build is 18% minimum tipping into their food would do well to understand why many of us will not be back. read more

Great diner! Super clean. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Ive always heard the commercials but never came. I definitely recommend. The food is classic diner food--really good and very filling with big portions. A+ read more

This was my second time to Dots in the past 4 years. The first time was delicious and great. This visit was very disappointing. This time I ordered the Orleans style grilled catfish. This style is on the menu and describes it coming with a crawfish sauce on it. The standard version of the catfish does not come with the crawfish sauce and is less expensive. When the dish was delivered, it did not have the crawfish sauce on it. When I asked about the sauce my waitress argued with me that this is how it is made and that it does not come with a crawfish sauce. She brought me the menu and she was surprised to find she was wrong. After about 10 minutes she brought me a bowl of the crawfish sauce to add to the now cold fish. As she left I asked for a refill on my empty glass. She asked me "will there be anything else sir" In a very bothered tone. When I took a bight the fish it was so salty tasting I could not eat it. I can understand and forgive the waitress for not knowing everything about the menu. I cannot understand or forgive her rude behavior and acting like I was bothering her for a correct dish and a refill on a drink. That is her job! Probably won't be back. read more

I placed an a pick up order and the customer service left a lot to be desired. I found the employee I initially spoke to, to be rude. I get it's a diner but common societal norms isn't asking for a lot. The lady at the register did crack a smile so 2 stars for that. I got my order and I was pretty bummed. My pancakes were horrible. Dry, falling apart. No taste. No amount of syrup made it right. My hash browns were burnt and salty. Inedible and repugnant. I was surprised because I have eaten here before and thought the food was pretty solid. So this event was a shock. I can't say I will be returning given the number of options in the area . read more

This is a solid breakfast option if you get there early enough, as it quickly fills with regulars! The food is tasty and the service seems to be run like a well oiled machine. You will be in and out with a full belly as quick as you need to be, and I like that! read more

Dots Diner - Western Omlett, Hashbrowns, Raisin Toast, Coffee, Chicken & Waffles. - Diners Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

today we had lunch at Dots. Worst food and experience ever. We arrived at 1:30pm. waited for waitress to clean a table for us and many tables were with dirty dishes. we placed our order. one breakfast, one pork chop dinner, one hamburger dinner and one liver and onion dinner. I asked about the vegetable of they day and was told california blend. we requested double vegetables instead of mash potatoes. my husbands liver and onions came out with mash potatoes and peas. i asked waitress about our order of vegetables and she stated they must have ran out of the calif blend. i told her My order of hamburger and onions with vegetables I requested cali blend I do not want peas. she came back n stated that they do have the california blend but veggies were in freezer. Husband food cold, fatherinlaw's breakfast cold, mother in laws pork chop small portion and tough ,mash potatoes cold even bottom of plate was cold with no vegetables. then my plate arrive hamburger patties overcooked small n no vegetables. waitress brought all plates at different times and had to go and microwave cold plates. eventually we were brought our vegetables however we didn't get double portion like we requested instead of mash potatoes. My mother in law told the waitress when she came back to the table that she didn't bring her vegetables but it was to late to bring them now. Waitress was apologetic but made excuse they had a busy day but should not have been at our expense.I can assure you We will never eat at this restaurant again. The workers were more concerned about having conversations with each other rather than taking care of the paying customers. please beware of terrible and worst dinning experience EVER! Just when I thought it could not get any worst , the male cook came out of the kitchen and went to use the bathroom in the "Ladies Room'". Unbelievable . Unacceptable. read more

Such a sweet little diner, delicious food and extremely friendly staff. Definitely would go again.

Full menu, full staff, very slow service. I was one of two customers in the building. None of the staff were wearing masks. COVID IS REAL! read more

I really wanted to give this place no stars. My older brother, his girlfriend, her coworker, my little brother, and I thought it would be a good place to go. We walked in and sat down. Flag 1: no greeting, no "Welcome to Dot's", nothing. The table was slightly dirty so my little brother began cleaning it off with a napkin. A waitress came and handed my brother's girlfriend a stack of menus, and began wiping the table. Flag 2: Again, no greeting. She just handed the menus over without a word. My little brother couldn't find a trash can to put the dirty napkin in so he asked the waitress where the trash was. She stopped wiping and held out her hand for him to place the napkin in. Flag 3: She didn't open her mouth to answer him. A simple "I can get that for you" would have sufficed. She proceeds to take the napkin and finishes wiping the table. My older brother, who sat there patiently waiting for the waitress to say something, abruptly announces to us, "We can go." That's just what we did. When the waitress notices that we're standing up, she FINALLY opens her mouth and says, "Are y'all leaving?" Flag, flag, FLAG! You only acknowledge our presence when we decide to exit the restaurant?! Seriously? I am in no way, shape, or form of a racist; I respect all people. However, I do believe our skin color played a factor in how we we treated. We were the only African American group in the establishment. Earlier that same day, a friend of mine left a negative review of Dot's Diner on Facebook stating she received similar treatment. I will not be returning or supporting this type of business. read more

I always look for a hole in the wall place for breakfast when staying away from home. Dot's fits the bill and everything was great. I ordered way too much and then tried to eat way too much of it because it was good homestyle breakfast. Service was good for diner style restaurant and everyone working was happy and it showed in their treatment of all the customers in their building while I was there. Give them a shot. If you are looking for upscale, it's not your place. If your looking to fill yourself up with good food then this might be your place. read more

Dots Diner - Sorry I should have took the picture first but I was hungry! - Diners Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Okay, it's a diner. Don't expect fine food. That said, it was a good example of the type. 24/7, breakfast always available. Service was super friendly. Place was clean and trying for that retro look. I got the feeling this was a lot more of a local place than a tourist joint. Which is nice. Many of the French Quarter restaurants claim to be local places but you rarely see locals there except for special occasions. Too expensive, for one thing, even though usually good. This was one of the few meals we had that didn't run $100+. I had the bacon cheeseburger. Good burger. Son 1 had a really good chicken fried steak slider. Son 2 had an excellent BLT. Wife had a good club sandwich. Simple stuff maybe, but done well. And that was exactly what we wanted. read more

Dots Diner - Cheese fries, mashed potatoes w gravy, fully dressed grilled chicken sandwich w onion rings :) - Diners Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Well it was a mixed bag at Dot's Saturday morning. I had the country (with high standards, as I'm originally from bama and grew up on biscuits n gravy). It was pretty solid. The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy. The sausage was kinda weird looking (see picture) but I'm fine with that. My dining partner had some problems. His scramble was cold. Like, can't melt the American cheese between the layers of potatoes cold. They didn't check on us for like ten minutes after they dropped the food so he had to watch me stuffing my face with gravy for a bit before they handled the situation. We said "this needs to be microwaved a little if you don't mind" and they said "okay" and took it. No sorry, no why. Lol oh well. They were really nice about it. I might go back but he wouldn't. read more

Dots Diner - "Country" lol with the weird sausage - Diners Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Only two waitresses and no cashier at 11:30. It took almost 30 minutes to get served. The sausage was so cold that I put it in the waitresses hand so she could feel it. Precious little atmosphere. Don't like spicy? DON'T order the breakfast sausage. Took another 30 minutes for one of the TWO waitresses to check us out at the register. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I could have spent the weekend in jail and received better food. An absolute let down. Very cute and casual inside, and friendly service. However what ever is going on in that kitchen is horrifying. Loaded hash browns not cooked. The cheese taste like the knock off generic brand and it's not even melted. Sausage was like those jimmy dean frozen patties. Toast not buttered. Hair in my sandwich. How can a cook plate that trash up and feel good about sending it out to a paying customer. I should have stayed home and cooked breakfast in my pajamas. They took off the sandwich but still ended up paying 20 something bucks got a breakfast plate, soda, oj, and hash browns. Over priced. read more

Excellent service, great home cooking! What more can you ask for! The waitresses are amazing and help you like you are family! Try the chicken fried steak sliders! Yum yum read more

I know it's not a 5 star restaurant, but you can't go wrong with Dot's Diner. It's cheap, it's filling, and it's comfort food. Plus, there's hardly any wait! (Funny story: as my husband and I arrived at Dot's Diner were IMMEDIATELY seated, I get a pop-up notification from Yelp telling me to check out the Ruby Slipper, current wait time: 45 minutes!!!! hahahaha, heck no! I'll take immediate seating & classic, cheap breakfast fare over a 45 minute wait for more expensive, smaller portions, and fewer options). I got the Big Dot because I couldn't make up my mind on what to eat, like usual. It's two eggs, 2 strips of bacon, 2 sausage patties, 2 pancakes, hash browns, grits, and toast. My hubby got the western omelet and added corned beef to his side of hashbrowns because he was torn between the omelet and the corned beef hash. The portions were huge, and have of me is ashamed to admit we scarfed down the whole thing and promptly napped for 2 hours after (the other half of me is SUPER proud). My only complaint was that one of my eggs was still raw (a good portion was clear and runny, but our waitress apologized profusely and took it back to toss it on the grill for another minute. Usually, I might be upset, but considering the fact that our food came out less than 10 minutes after we ordered AND they were packed, I knew it was just a quick oversight, and it was super easy to cook it for a few more seconds, no harm no foul. My absolute favorite part though is that they NEVER let your coffee cup get empty. As a person whose blood type is actually 95% coffee, I greatly appreciate this fact. That, and the waitresses always call you "sugar" and "honey" and I just love that Southern charm, its warm and endearing and I wish it was still around more down here! read more

The best breakfast I've had in a long time! We arrived about 1 in the afternoon and it wasn't too busy. The staff was friendly and attentive from the minute we sat down until it was time to leave. We ordered the big dot breakfast platter and 2 seafood omelettes. The omelettes come stuffed with a crawfish cream sauce and fried shrimp that are huge! We omitted the Swiss cheese for American on one and pepper jack on the other. Rebecca was really sweet, I didn't get the name of the original waitress but she was very sweet too. All in all I can't wait to return! read more

Dots Diner - Omelette was fab! The waffle was so good I wanted one to go! - Diners Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The diner stays busy for breakfast and lunch, and I was delighted to get my choice of seating for dinner. The food is delicious, the prices are great, and the service was friendly and on top of our every need. I'm a sucker for the cheeseburger with grilled cheese sandwiches instead of buns. The world needs this! The sweet potato fries had a nice crispness, better than the soggy SP fries most other places. And the beignet sticks were perfect for dessert! Yes, I really want to try the crawfish dishes, but the perfect cheeseburger is hard to pass up. My wife loved the Monday red beans and rice. And we both left with boxes with lots of left overs. And at those prices we could leave a generous tip. Highly recommended for dinner too! read more

Being a Latino in New Orleans hasn't always been an easy task. But over the past couple of years people's minds have become more open minded and understand that we live in an international city. Me and my friends walked in to have dinner and the waitress heard one word of Spanish and looked at us like we're nothing and proceeded to basically run us out of the place. Really disappointed in the racism and ignorance in her. And how this establishment could hire someoNe like this. Shame. read more

So sad! We've been coming to this location for a couple of years and today it was horrible. We waited about 30minutes for our food which was ok for us but then everyone around us started getting their food even though they arrived after us and some of them were complete families (we were just 2). Our coffees were empty for a long time and our waitress never came to check on that. When the food arrived, it was cold, the hash browns were all meat and barely any potatoes, the grits had cheese (not even melted) and we didn't ask for cheese. Never going back, we paid for our coffees and left super hungry! read more

This is the best Dot's in town. The food is usually best on weekends and before 3pm. After that, there is a shift change and the food comes out slower and less consistent. Mrs. Karen is the nicest waitress there but they can all sometimes seem to not be in the mood. I understand, its a hard job and they do it well 90% of the time. Treat them kind and they will treat you kind (mostly). I think the name of the head Dot or "Mrs. Dot" as I call her is Mrs. Catherine, she is the boss, she has her glasses around her neck or on the edge of her nose most of the time. The shorter woman, whose name I never get, with the marilyn monroe piercing is #2 boss. They talk crap on everyone but they are the bosses of this greasy spoon so respect them and get on their good side or else you might get put on the "no coffee refills" list where you get ignored and they all make frowny faces at you whenever eye contact is met. I recommend the Big Dot with eggs over easy, extra hash, no grits and onions added to the hash. They usually get it right. My gf gets the creole queen and likes it a lot, the creole queen sauce makes it. The biscuits are good too. I see many people get the burgers too. Its always funny to see the waitresses in front watching those who enter while puffing a cig or vape. I usually say hi and smile. Life is as hard as you make it. Recommend for the food, the employees and the clientele, good for people watching which is what makes NOLA tick, the characters. Not many diners left in town these days, this one is the most consistent and easiest to park and get seated quickly. read more

We were looking for a truck stop diner to get some breakfast at lunch time. Dots fit the bill, so we gave it a try. Classic American diner, however... my plate was perfect. I got the "Southern Breakfast": eggs, hash browns, sausage and biscuits 'n gravy. Wow, the gravy was on point. Biscuits were fresh and rich buttery. Hash browns were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Bottom line, great diner food and swift, attentive staff. read more
