Anyone remember Dots?
It was an awesome lunch place. Line out the door. Snaked around like a roller coaster line once inside. Sometimes it was 30-45 minutes wait…tortured by watching them serves and hoping they wouldn’t run out of you favorite dishes.
Cafeteria style, grab a tray and shuffle towards the main coarse dishes of huge fried catfish planks, roasted chicken legs, beef tips in gravy etc. then you picked two sides – I always got a Mac n cheese and greens. If you made it past the desert selection (slices of various cakes and pies with two inches of meringue – always a hard choice between the coconut or banana cream pie). Then grab a waiting glass of ice tea before hitting the register to pay.
The next challenge was finding a table that would fit your lunch group in the expansive dining area of mismatched tables and chairs. Never had a bad dish and always a good time.
Don’t remember the price but below $10 for a main dish plus two sides w no dessert and drink.
The OG Dots burned down then reopened in a strip mall. I sadly never went to that one and it’s closed now.
Thanks for all the delicious lunches Ms. Dorothy “Dot” Hewitt. Her and her staff busted their ass and put all their hearts into making awesome eats.
Each visit was a special treat.
