Just what I was looking for as I was in town visiting family. I was so surprised how kind everyone was to me. The biscuits and gravy were out of this world! read more

Dotties is one of those places you often see here in Florida, tucked into an older shopping center space. My wife and I have been here twice for Breakfast, and I wish we had tried it sooner. We are snowbirds in the area and will be heading back home soon. It's quite convenient to where we are staying. The service is prompt and friendly. The waitresses are moving constantly keeping water glasses and coffee cups full. It has quite a bit of seating although you wouldn't expect it from the outside. We have gotten there just before the 9:30 am rush and were seated promptly. By the time we left 35 minutes later the place was full. Since this is in an area with mostly locals, this is a good sign. The food is good, substantial and decently priced. Indeed we both have ordered a good breakfast w/out a drink each time and gotten out for under $12. I've tried the Omelets, Pancakes, and French toast and find them to be very good. The Omelets in particular are exactly the way I like them Fluffy and filled nicely with good ingredients specifically a good quality cheese, not that flat piece of processed crap they call american cheese. The Pancakes are fairly thick and are a bit on the doughy side, and have a hint of vanilla. The french toast is good too, thinner with again a hint of vanilla and some other spice perhaps cinnamon. A little disappointed there was no butter on the table only margarine as someone already pointed out Bacon was good also, and eggs are cooked perfectly to order. We may try this sometime for dinner. I would expect it to be good there too. Perhaps I may bump this up to 4. It is a cheerful and pleasant place, so far I've found nothing outstanding but so far it is all good, and I would have no trouble recommending it if your in the area. read more

Fabulous diner food and FAST! They keep your coffee cup filled and they pay attention to all your needs. The food is delicious, the portions are more than enough and the staff is way friendly. Haven't visited in a while until today, but they are just as great, if not better, than I remember. read more

Really great home cooked food. Greek omelette was large and tasty. Hash browns were excellent. Nice people and service.

This place has an old school feel and makes biscuits and gravy just like Nana used to make. Great prices and fast service, you just can't beat it! read more

Great mom and pop breakfast/lunch place. Have been here for breakfast on the weekends several times. It can get crowded but you don't usually have to wait more than a few minutes for a table for two. They also have diner seating. Waitresses are very attentive and your coffee cup will not go empty. Food is down home cooking with generous portions. Would recommend. read more

Dottie's is a sun bird tradition here is Pam Bay ....great service and i love the Mexican Omelt in the skillet

Friendly and courteous waitresses. Good food. Healthy portions. We have gone for both breakfast and lunch. Their specials are great too!

The food isn't bad it's just unfortunate that I had a friend that worked there and told me he had to go to the dollar store every day to buy more rat traps to try to keep up with the rat problem. read more

I had the multi-grain pancakes, they were very good. They also make good omelets. Toast was slightly burnt. The problem I had here was I was told that the "butter" was on the table. When I looked for it, it was in a basket with the half-and-half. It was marked spread with a lot of ingredients: water, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, salt, hydrogenated soybean oil (I guess not partially this time?), vegetable mono and dglycerides, pectin and sodium alginate, potassium sorbate, etc. etc. etc. Not the best butter around, But the word that really got me were KEEP REFRIGERATED. Oops!! Health Code Violation Dottie! Please fix this. Other than that this restaurant was ok, kind of dated interior. read more

The waitstaff is amazing and the food was excellent and speedy. Great breakfast spot! We enjoyed ourselves and the customer service was a pleasant surprise. read more

My husband loves breakfast food so we're always looking for fun new places. The wait staff here is so nice they treat everyone like family. It's obvious why there are so many regulars. The food is good. Nothing really blew me away, but good. read more

Aside from closing at 2 and some menu items not being the freshest (anything mushroom is canned) I love this place! The western ommlettes are to die for and the staff is always friendly and attentive. My cup never stays empty for long and if ever there's a problem with the food (rarely ever) they are quick to fix it. Everything on the menu is worth trying. read more

Family-owned restaurant. Classic diner food. New and old items on the menu. For example, you can get the classic chicken salad plate that has a gigantic scoop of tasty chicken salad, a big scoop of cottage cheese, nice tomato slices (can't see through them like at most places!), pickle, lettuce, etc. You can also get gluten free items. The eggs are real eggs, not egg juice. They taste fresh. The bacon is thickly sliced. The home fries are most excellent. Choice of breads. Good pies. They keep the drinks coming, whether it be tea, coffee, or soda. Décor is a bit cluttered. Help is friendly. Service is quite fast. Restrooms are clean. Local honey available for sale. This is where I go when I need to be treated nicely after a tough morning or when facing a tough day.. read more

Biscuits and Gravy were very good. It's a nice small diner that I will have to try again.

We always have excellent service and our food is the way we like it each and every time . Servers are always on top of your coffee and making sure you are happy with everything . If you haven't been to Dottie's you are missing out read more

Home style cooking, friendly service. Nothing is remarkable. Daily special menu. Fair coffee.

The food was fresh and very good but the service was outstanding! The staff at this place can not be beat!

Having been a customer for several years I am saddened to say I've been disappointed the last few times I've been here. My last trip for lunch I ordered one of the specials- open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. The potatoes were real and the gravy adequate. The waitress told me that the turkey was a mix of white and dark meat- OK. But even with the gravy the white meat was dry and crusted on the edges and there was a significant amount of skin in it. The green beans were straight out of a can. No seasoning at all. Took one small bite and left them. They used to be cooked with ham, bacon, something. I would say it was an off day but the last three times I've been here I was disappointed. The staff (waitresses) are always top shelf (quick, friendly, efficient) and this last time was apologetic. read more

My girlfriend and I meet up every few months for breakfast at Dottie's. This place is what I call a great "hole in the wall" for the locals on the end of the side street. Nothing more or nothing less. The food is always good, hot, and plentiful. My coffee cup is content as I dislike when the (any) waitress keeps adding coffee to a half cup and then re-fix, yuck! At Dottie's, they don't seem to do this to me. The food is good, even the eggs as I always order the same food where ever I go, so YES in compare, they are good. My friend basically does the same. From looking at her plate, I would say her food looks good except (IMO) her fresh fruit could be more plenteous. The prices are right in the average ball park for this local eatery. This is what old times are made of, places like Dottie's. Don't change the interior, or menu, or anything! There's only one inconvenience; the parking situation. There is no handicap parking at the door for the wheelchairs if needed. The parking lot is shared with the whole strip center (Unemployment Office) the worst is there's a nursing school next to Dottie's. Give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

Don't order eggs benedict or eggs florentine. The yolk was hard and the sauce was broken. So sad because I used to like this place. The staff is nice but the food is no longer any good. read more

We have breakfast every Sarurday and sometimes Sunday. The food is great and made to order and the price is just right. The waitresses are the best and always helpful. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves homemade food. Enjoy! :-) :-) read more

Our favorite place for breakfast. It is the best place next to eating at home. My husband is from Texas and he loves Dottie's Biscuits and Gravy he says they are best hands down. Highly Recommend Dotties. read more

It's nice to find a place you don't have to wait 30 minutes to be seated on a Sunday. I had the eggs Benedict which was ok. My brother had biscuits and gravy which was pretty good. I will be back. read more

Great hometown quality food! Reasonable prices and nice service! Great breakfast . Fast and friendly service.

I go here for breakfast sometimes on Saturdays and the place is always full. Everything is cooked perfect and tastes great. I have tried every omelette and they are all good. My grandma loves the waffles. Never a long wait for the food. read more

My husband and I LOVE this place. Prices are reasonable, service is great, food is yummy and most every time it's on your table quickly. Everyone is sweet as pie. I can't say enough about Dotties. Thank you for all you do to please your customers. read more

Have been for breakfast several times. Not impressed. Hash brown were overcooked, eggs were not cooked to order. Corn beef hash from a can, scrambled eggs from an instant egg carton, quickie french toast. Sure, the food's fairly inexpensive, but there is an obvious reason for this. There are dozens of restaurants in the area that have far better food. Recommend you visit one of those instead. read more

Horrible restaurant!! Ok, some of their food is ok, but it's been written up so many times it's rediculous. From cockroaches to... Well that's all I need to say cause you're already grossed out. Don't blame the waitresses. We are in a recession, and it's not their fault the place is a mess!! read more

would you believe this a 5 star review from picky me. food was excellent, service was outstanding, cleanliness was great. this is the best restaurant we have found in palm bay. plan on going back many times in the future. read more

Dottie's has been around for many years and deservedly so. It's a true gem tucked into a nondescript little strip mall. They serve breakfast and lunch, the food is comfortingly wonderful and the atmosphere is reminiscent of the friendly little neighborhood diner you remember from childhood. It can get pretty busy on weekend mornings, but you're always seated within a few minutes. The wait staff (both behind the counter and out in the dining room) work very hard, racing around to serve your food nice and hot, and yet are always attentive to drink refills, keeping coffee in your cup, condiments, extra napkins, answering questions about the menu, etc. no matter how busy they are. They may be moving at a run, but they *never* make you feel rushed. The portions are generous and the prices are amazing, making it a favorite of seniors on a fixed income. They obviously get a lot of "regulars" because every time I'm there I hear the staff greet certain customers by name. The only negative is that the tables are a bit crowded together, but the long list of positives makes that easy to overlook. Dottie's is a homey, friendly, feel-good little place and I hope they stick around for many more years to come. read more
