In Short – A sign above the front door declares "Y'all come on in," and that's exactly the sentiment inside this modest, family-owned restaurant. The decor is pure country: Autographed photos of country stars adorn the simple white walls. Patrons seat themselves at an assortment of nondescript booths and tables. Good country fare, served simply, is what it's all about. Six different meat selections and up to 18 veggies are available daily.

Dotson's let me down
by jerkaroo at Citysearch
How absolutely embarrassing. I had out of town guest visiting me a week ago and I wanted to take them some place unique. I hear Dotson's was suppose to be a friendly place to eat, with lots of good Southern home cooking and Southern hospitiality. So I took my friends there on a Sunday afternoon.
We stood in at the door for at least 10 minutes - NO ONE came over to us. FINALLY I asked the sour puss at the cash register if we were going to be seated. She grumbled that we should just go sit down.
We picked an empty booth -then waited, and waited, and waited. FINALLY a slow moving unenthused waitress came over and took our order. I'll tell you - the food was not at all that great. The service was God awful ..
At least I got to take my friends to The Loveless Cafe before they headed back home. Loveless was a much better experience.
- Pros: There are none
- Cons: Unfriendly, slow service, food mediocre

I've lived here now for 2 years, we go to Dotsons all the time. It's packed on the weekends and for good reason. The food is great and the service, albeit not always so fast because of the crowd, is very friendly! We've even run into a few of the country music stars there and if they're eating there, you know it's good. It may look like "a hole in the wall", but it really is a great place to go. You'll be treated like family every time and the food is pretty darn good! For people that gave it a bad review, there isn't a restaurant on the planet that hasn't screwed something up one time or another. This one's worth the trip.
- Pros: Friendly staff and good food
- Cons: Not fancy

It's about atmosphere!
by Wymo64 at Citysearch
Dotson's Restaurant is all about a down home country atmosphere! If you're looking for something out of Emeril's kitchen, you won't find it at Dotson's. Breakfast is wonderful...Yes... it's greasy, that's what a REAL breakfast is all about! Lunch/Dinner menu advice ... don't order the dumplin's unless you like dough and some of the veggies are a bit bland for my taste, but the fried chicken is awesome! I basically go there because I know that alot of locals go there ...so that makes it good place to eat for me... you know what they say about the locals, right? AND the mashed taters are YUMMMY!
- Pros: Atmosphere
- Cons: Some bland foods
