Editorial Review for Dotson's Restaurant – by Malaika Wells
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.

I really don't understand all the positive reviews about this place! First off, it's a trailer, and not a trendy contemporary clean trailer. It's a dirty, old trailer!!!!! Next, to think that they are actually trying to pass their food off as good down home country cookin' is enough to make my grandmother roll over in her grave! The atmosphere is below average, although the wait staff was friendly and congenial. And if you're used to GOOD southern food, the food will surely disappoint.
Pros: Surprisingly, they do have indoor plumbing.
Cons: Everything else.

Swing by Dotson's the next time you feel that you can throw all thoughts of calories and fat grams out the door. Dotson's atmosphere, employees and food make your booth feel a little closer to mom or grandma's cooking. I highly encourage anything but breakfast - but only because you can get eggs anywhere. Go for Lunch or Dinner and feast on everything from fish to chicken, roast to turkey. Once your lunch or dinner cravings have been met - please don't forget to order a piece of homemade cake or pie. One should leave Dotson's totally full and ready to come back for more! Another perk of Dotson's is that you never know who you will be dining with. There are a bevy of well known music, political, tv, movie and general entertainers that also count Dotson's as a favorite. Enjoy!
Pros: Anything you order is bound to be excellent
Cons: Closes early on weekends due to volume - GO BEFORE 2PM!
