Dot's Cafe

Great little place! Home cooking at its best. The waitress was so courteous and attentive. This place is small, not much room inside. There were a lot of locals here which tells you that it's a good place. We had different breakfast plates and all three of us were impressed. If you like the small diner atmosphere with home comfort food, this is definitely the place.

Be sure to watch your head when you come in the back door! Brick sized, square biscuits and house made gravy; unquestionably the morning crowd's favorite in this cubbyhole of a restaurant. The thick biscuits were on every table and kept coming as new diners wedged themselves into the restaurant to find a nook or cranny that wasn't occupied. That is what my wife had with a side of crispy bacon. I went with two eggs, bacon (crap I forgot to order mine crispy,) hash browns, and the square cut biscuit and gravy on the side. On the plate: 4 or 5 thick strips of tasty limp, smoky salty bacon, hash browns fair, two eggs (farm fresh) cooked to a perfect sunny side up and the very disappointing biscuit and gravy. Although substantial portions, these square cut cake pan biscuits just don't work for me. Kudos for the scratch made gravy, but it was so flavorless that it could not be revived after several liberal applications of salt and pepper. The coffee was pale and tasteless like the gravy. The portions are generous, especially the biscuit and gravy serving. I believe that is what drives their popularity with the crowd. The dining area is clean. The service is absolutely welcoming, friendly and attentive. Excellent service! There is a large public parking lot to the East; just a few hundred feet from the front door.Even with my criticism Dot's is worth a try for several reasons. It is a memorable experience just to squeeze into the little restaurant. The service is fantastic. The menu is big! It is likely that there is something on it that will tickle your innards. A 4.5-star rating on Google confirms that other diners have found some jewels in the menu. Breakfast here just didn't dazzle me. Other:If you don't have Google maps on your phone there is a sign over the kitchen door that provides directions to the outhouse. You also get a tour of the kitchen with the trip. Watch your head on the back door. It is low. Don't ask me how I know.

Cute little cafe, very small with lots of decor to look at. Food was good, cheap, and people were friendly.

We happened to be in Claremore recently, and wanted to give Dot's a go.VERY glad we did. As others have mentioned, Dot's is a hole in the wall for sure. Very small and cozy (as in you can almost sample your neighbor's plate, it's that close), it nonetheless is a neat little place to eat.The Wife got the basic pancake breakfast and had way more than she could manage. She was very happy with everything, there was just a lot of food.I had an omelet, hash browns and biscuit/gravy. The omelet was a tad undercooked, but still outstanding. Hashbrowns just like mom used to make and the biscuit was huge, soft and went perfectly with the gravy.Service was stellar, food was outstanding... what's not to like?

Wonderful hole in the wall place. I was pretty impressed with breakfast. The white gravy is real, which is extremely rare these days. Loved the meringue on their lemon pie too. They said pies are homemade by a lady that makes them for years.

Great food great service. Kinda like the old greasy spoons we went to as kids. Good place. Small but cozy.

I believe they change the name to this place and now I can't remember what the name charge is. We were just passing through on 8/21/23. Coming from California we stopped in for breakfast. Our server was amazing. She was serving & busing all the tables, along with cashing everyone out and doing it with a great attitude and not stressed at all. I wish I got her name! I cannot believe I did not get her name. This is a cute little restaurant with delicious food. I had told our server that I was not sure if I wanted chicken fried steak or chorizo and potatoes. She let me know that she was partial to the Mexican food. A girl after my own heart. I love Mexican food, and so glad that she suggested it. It was so delicious, I had avocados added to my chorizo and potato plate, it and that was definitely worth it. , Clean, and friendly. If you're in town or driving through town, it is must go.

We went to Dots for the first time today for a late breakfast. My husband decided to try the chicken fried steak and hominy, I had the one egg breakfast with hash browns and biscuits and gravy and my son had the child's pancake breakfast. First, this place is small. Like, really small. But I think it's important to know it's not claustrophobic small. The booths and tables are all normal size and the stools along the bar have plenty of space between them. It's small town, everyone typically knows each other, small and we really liked it. It may be more difficult to navigate during a morning rush but at 12:30 on a Tuesday, we walked in and sat right down. The bathroom is outside the restaurant. You walk literally through the kitchen to get to it. Couple things about that...the kitchen is clean. Really clean. The staff are friendly and not at all surprised to see people walking through and the bathroom itself is cute and clean. It's decorated, has candles burning and well stocked. It's a unique experience for sure (and their sign warns you it will be!)The server was attentive, and prompt. The food was wonderful. The gravy is real, homemade like grandmas gravy, not a package mixed with water. The biscuits are the huge fluffy yet dense kind you expect from a grandma type diner. My husband said his CFS was the best he's ever had and he's had a bunch. Tender, no gristle, cut with a fork, just enough breading and that homemade pepper gravy. Unlike at chain restaurants, my son ate his entire meal. We'll be back. Most likely, next week.

Finally had time & was in town to try this little cafe out. Very nice staff & quite a few items offered in addition to daily specials. I tried a standard cheeseburger & it was very tasty. Definitely recommend the burgers. The fries on the other hand were dripping with oil & limp limp. Could not eat them, attempted one but only tasted grease. The dessert..blueberry cream pie... oh my goodness it was sooooooooo good!

Tiny place, but lucked out with immediate seating. Fun signs to read while waiting on food. Western omelet. biscuit and gravy, pancake all good. And the side of ham was an enormous ham steak! Great classic country playing. Will try it again for the advertised meatloaf!
