User Reviews of Dotsons Restaurant

Yelp.com Review - by Crabby O.

2.0 of 5 stars. Greasy, noisy, crowded, and overrated. A haven for people with no taste who eat up hype. Not terrible, but not good.

Yelp.com Review - by Frank O.

2.0 of 5 stars. Well, I was there a couple of times for breakfast. It was no prize winner in my book. Eggs ordered over easy, arrived with hard brown edges and hardened yolk, puddles of grease under the sausage,...

Highly Recommend

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...

Yelp.com Review - by Erin D.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is always packed. The parking lot is always full and usually a long wait. But, I have to say it's not my favorite meat & three. The mac and cheese was okay, but I've had better. The...

5.0 of 5 stars. We were recommended to this place by a local because we wanted REAL down home southern cooking. We had to second guess ourselves when we got there because the restaurant was in a trailer. After...

Good southern food by Tony C. at InsiderPages

The place isn't much to look at - outside or inside. And its a cash only establishment, which won't agree with everyone. BUT, the food is good - especially the fried chicken, which is great. And the deserts...

A Dive with Great Fried Chicken! by Kathy C. at InsiderPages

This place doesn't look like much (in fact doesn't look good at all) from the outside. Inside isn't much to talk about either. It's a very old and dated restaurant with pictures of celebrities all over the...

Yelp.com Review - by Misty C.

4.0 of 5 stars. I just knew Dotson's would be one of those amazing meat & three discoveries, and I'd leave feeling like I did the day I found the Dinner Bell in Donelson. Well, it wasn't quite that feeling, but it...

It's about atmosphere!

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...

Downright Disgusting!!!!

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...

No one seems to be a stranger at Dotson's, the out of towners are treated as old friends and everyone is willing to stand and chat if it is slow. You dont feel rushed to finish and get out. So you can actually...
