    The meatloaf had sold out by 11am, so it seems like it's still a popular item. I chose the country fried steak, which was crunchy and huge. It mostly tasted like slightly salty fried batter even though it looks like there's a good amount of meat. The mashed potatoes with white gravy was good. The broccoli was soft and slightly peppery. Staff clarified the cash cost (menu cost) vs credit card surcharge (3.99% of menu price). The grilled pork chop looked good (tender and seasoned well), even though it was thin.

    Great service, convenient location with parking. I had the meatloaf w/ mashed potatoes and corn and my friend had a bacon cheeseburger. Both were ok. Nothing extraordinary but definitely not bad. Typical diner food. Good portion size for the price.

    Not a place we would have even know about, but we were in the area and looking for breakfast. Tasty build your own omelette, perfect BLT, and great coffee. Service was very attentive and friendly. If in the area would definitely go back.

    We forgot to take a picture till our last bite of banana  Nutella pancake

    Bananas! This small nondescript diner, overwhelmed me (in a good way) with the flavor of bananas the cook managed to get in to their Nutella banana, pancake! The omelette with the hashbrowns inside was a thriller for texture, and with with the table side Cholula each bite was good for my taste buds too. Kat's Coffee and pancake syrup, flowed hot and fresh. We watched some chicken and waffles be delivered to the table next to us . I have a feeling I know what we're gonna order next time! By the end of breakfast, our son announced that this is where he wants to go for his birthday meal! Overall, this was a surprise. The people in the kitchen had their hairnets on, the bathroom was just okay. It was a nice meal to have between baseball games at Doss Park. Better than Chick-fil-A and open on Sundays for all the baseball parents We will be back to try the voodoo brew, Monday, meatloaf, battered to order chicken strips, and lunch!

    I've been checking out the reviews of this place since I live literally a minute away. Decided to check it out and it was a hit. I ordered the chicken fajita plate for lunch. It was really yummy. I thought the chicken would be super dry, but it was perfect well seasoned, and the right portion for lunch. I also got flour tortillas and corn tortillas which were amazing. Not sure if they were homemade, but they are dangerously delicious. There was one waitress working and she was working at all by herself. We were pretty surprised that there were people coming in and out to a place that we thought was a hole in the wall for the locals. This was our first time at Nate's diner and will be back soon. So if you're in the area stop by for lunch, they have really good delicious deals.

    Better than I expected -- don't let the looks fool you. It honestly looked a little sketchy at first and I wasn't too sure about the bathrooms... but once I sat down and looked around, it really wasn't bad at all. We ordered and the food was great! I actually almost finished my plate, which is rare since I'm so picky. The menu had a lot to choose from, and you can tell it's family-run. I even noticed a few other tables already knew the server.

    Who knew? Breakfast available all day along with other goodies. Prices are right and the service attentive and personable. The exterior of this place is deceptive, with colored lights blinking and a sense of despair. The interior, however, tells a different story with colorful and well maintained decor. The big deal breakfast is a big deal. Come hungry.

    The food was delicious. I loved it and I would definitely go again! I liked everything. The place is also nice, it has a lot of personality. The customer service was nice as well.

    Love the service, our waiter angel was literally the best waiter I could've ever had! Literally any…read moreissue that I had he was right to the rescue! Coffee was amazing. Food was amazing. The place was really clean. Restroom were clean as well. Definitely recommend this place for brunch, dinner, or literally anytime of the day ! Thanks to the manager Daniela (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) she made sure everything was perfect and everything was!

    Dot holds a bit of a nostalgic throwback to the diners of the 50's & 60's…read more With plenty of parking located behind the building arrived at about 10AM and place was buzzing. Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.
