The food is good. The service is good. The ambiance is good. If you're a first responder/veteran you get a free coffee,tea and or soda. That's nice of them to support those serving and those who served. I've decided to try something new every time I visit. I believe the first time I had the biscuits and gravy. The second time I had the French toast. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Experience: stopped for a quick lunch since we were right by here at Walgreens. It was about 11:15 on a Thursday. Facility: it's a small little dive located in a strip mall. It feels like one of those diners were everyone is a regular. They have tables and chairs and it's a little crowded. They also have some bar seating. Service: you seat yourself. No one acknowledged me when I came in, so I found a waitress and asked if I just seat myself, and she said yes. A waitress come over soon after and took our order. Service was good and food came out quick. Food: I wanted to order many things from the menu. But I settled on Catfish with grits and hashbrowns. It's was ok. It kind of had an unusual batter for catfish but it was fine, but the fish was brined tasting. Definitely needs a buttermilk soak. Grits were good but a little runny for my taste... and hashbrowns were kind of bland and not as crispy as I like. So basically, everything else's good, but not amazing. My friend had meatloaf and made a big mixed pile on his plate (sorry I didn't get photo before his creation). Overall: I will be back... I think they have something I haven't found yet that is amazing. I want to try their burger and chicken friend steak when I go back. read more

I love Dotties. Just there yesterday and had the shrimp special. It was wonderful. Never had a bad meal there. I'm not much of a breakfast eater but I love their veggie omelette. And the biscuits are to die for and when I check out I always get a jar of their local honey. It's always good. I can't say I have a favorite server because everyone is always so nice. If you like good honest food. Go to Dotties read more

Many may not give the restaurant five stars simply because it's a very simple place. Nothing fancy with the decor but it's very clean and comfortable. This place has been around a long time and you can tell it's a local favorite! We split the Spanish farmers omelette, which was excellent. We also split an order of the pumpkin pancakes, one of the fall specials. Becky, our server was attentive And did everything right! read more

This is one of my favorite places to have breakfast with my husband. Ever since I moved to the area I've been wanting to find a nice breakfast place. The servers are always so welcoming and kind. It's the perfect local breakfast spot with the right feeling when you're there. You can tell it was made to feel like home. The food is always good every time I've gone. Which is why I continue to go back among other things. I just love the whole vibe of the restaurant. It just makes me feel happy when I go there. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a local spot. I haven't yet tried their lunch but one day I will. read more

Food is good, exactly what you want at diner spots. Service is super nice and on point I'll surely be back when in the area

Just good home cooking and great service to be had here. Dottie's is a traditional local diner with loads of regulars the staff knows by name. The prices are reasonable, the food is good, and the portions are right. Skip the toast and go for the biscuit if you are having breakfast. Little extras are available, like flavor shots for your coffee, soft serve, and milkshakes. read more

First time coming to this joint. Bunch of old dudes, like me, hanging out like this was their normal Saturday morning routine. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. Good stuff. It tasted homemade, not that canned stuff. Oh yeah, I'll come back with the wife next time. That way all the old dudes will have a hot woman to brighten the room. They'll be jealous of me. read more

Not a bad little breakfast stop! Found this place to be a locals kind of a breakfast joint in the strip mall here in Palm Bay. Don't be taken back from the exterior as the inside of this restaurant is simple but homie. Wait staff were nice and service was fairly prompt. The breakfast menus was also simple and everything we had was delicious... loved the flavor of the waffles. Great little place for a quick breakfast. read more

Where do I start? Oh, My Word! I am So sorry we didn't come here before now! This place is so close to where we live, we can bike here! Anyway, My husband got the Caesars Salad with Grilled Chicken (Sorry no pic) & he loved it!! I on the other hand got the "Watch That Weight Plate" at Dottie's! It was a 3.96 oz Grilled Chicken Breast w/ 2.56 oz sliced Tomatoes, approx 1/2 cup Applesauce, approx 1/4 cup Cottage Cheese, & a Pickle... I say it this way because I am a Bariatric patient who is at a healthy BMI and I wanna stay there! This is the PERFECT meal and looks Beautiful... I am including the stats on this meal only - 265 Calories, 5.2 Fat, 2.2 Fiber, 11.3 Carbs, 314 Sodium, & 41.5 Protein... The hostess & waitress were both Wonderful & Kind! They both made sure we had everything we needed. The coffee was always fresh and my husband loved that tremendously! The Restaurant was Clean & everyone working seemed happy to be there. But the customers - That was a Whole other story! You should have seen All the Smiles! It was as if the entire Restaurant of customers were all Family! (Okay, closer than family!) Everyone there was Content & Enjoyed their food tremendously!! I know we did!! My husband, Mr. Spock, concurs. read more

Service is excellent, food is down home comfort food and on a Saturday morning, breakfast is like one big family! This is one of our favorite breakfast places!!! Everything seems to be made to order. You will not leave hungry, and if you do it is your own fault . We keep coming back since we love it so much. If you are in town and need a Greta spot for breakfast or a quick lunch, this is it but don't look for them for dinner. They close by early afternoon everyday. read more

Dottie's Restaurant - Palm Bay - 2.5 Stars "Diplomacy - the patriotic art of lying..." Bierce Once again, the Big Boy finds himself seated in a strip mall hash house. This particular restaurant has been here nigh onto 20 years. Their particular claim to fame is that they host the Palm Bay Lions Club monthly meetings, but unfortunately, they are not well-known for their creative menu or fresh ingredients, as you would expect a restaurant to be known for its food and not for its meetings. However, one thing that they create above-average is the non-homemade biscuit. I'm not sure who their purveyor of biscuits is, but it is not the Sysco pull-and-microwave you see at other low-rent dives. Other positives here are that the home fries were cooked properly - not something you see on a regular basis - and the eggs were also prepared well. Finally, I need to mention the country fried steak. This specimen was the corporate hockey puck version you loyal followers have heard me lament about so often. In capable hands, it can be cooked to mask the mealy flavor so common in this offering, but sadly, smothering loads of sausage gravy didn't do the trick in this case. Our server Krystal was a bright spot in the dark, dank confines of Dottie's. A real pleasure, she was prompt and attentive. Every server should be like Krystal - happy, friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, she is the exception to the norm in diners like Dottie's. Big Boy says, if you are starving, stop in to Dottie's for a low-octane fuelup; otherwise, just pass this place and move on to somewhere else read more

I finally found a real diner in Malabar. Their hours are short and that's a bummer because I wish they were open 24/7. The waitress was cheerful and attentive The turkey tasted like it was baked that morning The green beans were perfect (southern style) The mashed potatoes had a special surprise The eggs my sweetheart ordered were done perfectly Check: breakfast and lunch both excellent read more

We were recommended highly to go here. My husband tried it out today before we both we're going the next day and he said it was a bust. He asked for unsweet tea and he got sweet tea. He's diabetic and he's blood sugar sky rocketed...so thanks Dottie's for ruining he's day tryin to get he's blood sugar down. Can use shredded cheese either to top and omelette...nobody wants sliced proceeded cheese that want even melted. I'm so glad I didn't experience this place but sad my husband had to. Too bad he just couldn't do he's breakfast over again. read more

Oh my gods! This place rocks! If you're hungry go here. I've have only had breakfast here and I love it! The chicken fried steak? Yes please! Omelette? Pick your choice they have about 10 of them! Pancakes, eggs? Yep and good! Coffee is always filled. Trust me go to this place! read more

Haven't been there since May of 2020 and was pleasantly supervised that the Food Service and prices are still the same . We would go there 1 or 2 times a week before COVID put me down read more

Good fresh and scrumptious, fantastic service !! I was from out of state visiting my father, the 1st time was so good we made a 2nd trip. Will definitely be back. Thank you read more

Love this place! We are here at least a couple of times a month and the food and service are always on point! Best omelets around!!!

As far as greasy spoon diners go, this one is my favorite. Its old school country cooking, the restaurant looks right out of an early 70's movie and the best part is the waitresses there know how to do things. Bread with butter, coffee with cream, and they're really fast. I can sit down, order inside of a minute or two and have food in front of me before 5. Even when they're really busy! The only downside is that if you are under 40, you will be the youngest person in the room. They do a lot of breakfast business so they close at 2, but they serve breakfast all day! read more

We went there on Sunday morning before the church service let out. The service was terrible. We waited 50 minutes, still no food. The waitress said we were next up and 20 minutes later, still no food. We said to her " do you know it's been 50 minutes?" Her response " yeah, I know". We will not return. read more

Homey atmosphere pretty good sized portions the waitress staff is very nice and friendly the food is meh. It's nothing to brag about but at the same time nothing you'll complain about. It's a good local diner spot that has been in business for years they could definitely use a remodel but. But dotty might not be making that kind of money. It's definitely a better option than Dennys if that is happens to be too busy I would recommend dotties it's a nice little hidden local treasure. read more
