Editorial Review for Dots Cafe – by Jenny Tom
In Short
Red velvety wallpaper, oh-so-'70s light fixtures and kitschy knickknacks define this mainstay for neighborhood locals and bohemian 20-somethings (teenagers aren't allowed after 10pm). Everything is cooked to order: Hand-patted burgers and Mexican plates, such as the spinach and Jack cheese quesadilla. Don't skip the fries, which come in several flavors: hot 'n' spicy, cheddar and bacon, jalapeno, Jack cheese and green chili. Servers leave Jolly Ranchers with the bill-what a way to end the meal.-

I'm surprised about the poor service reviews I've read on this site. I'm usually the first to complain about poor service, but can't find anything wrong with this place. We go a couple times a month when we want a kicked back atmosphere, great drinks and good food. Yes, "good" food, not great. You're paying "good" food prices and you get a consistent product which, in my opinion, is a definite step above the standard pub fare and is anything but, standard. Once again, service has always been top notch. I haven't pulled a late night session at Dot's in many years (we tend to go late afternoon or early evening), so maybe this is when the service declines, if at all?
Pros: Great value, great drinks, good food, excellent service
Cons: None, really . .. It's not their fault they don't have an outdoor patio!!!

This bar is cash only. This is an inconvience, but any repeat customer should be able to come prepared. Cheap, good, greasy bar food. Fabulous selection of cheese fries, chili fries, tofu fries, you name it. The drinks are cheap, the staff is attentive. The lights are dimmed, and this is a great place to hang out with friends and get a couple of quick drinks if you are passing by. I will gladly bring cash, and enjoy the velvet wallpaper and the portrait of KFC founder Sanders. PLEASE tip the staff, it is not their fault that this place is cash only.
Pros: Good Food, Good and Cheap Drinks, Attentive Servers
Cons: Cash Only
