    Chicken fried steak

    First time trying Dot Coffee Shop/American Cafe, and it did not disappoint! Came in for breakfast with my wife and daughter, and everything was incredibly fresh. It completely blows IHOP or Denny's out of the water. If you're looking for an amazing, classic diner spot with quality food, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back!

    Lemon Key Lime Pie
    Diem T.

    Went for the first time with my bf who been going there for a long time. He loves the place. Waited about 30 min for a seat, definitely busy. Server was nice and gave us extra pie since we were sharing. Food was nice and seems freshly made. Got the Chicken fried Chicken and the Chicken fried Steak (both 16.95$) The bread/biscuit we ordered didn't come until after we finished our food and the server noticed the bread never came. The key lime pie was yummy, the crust was extremely sweet.

    Loved having brunch at this diner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We moved here from New Jersey and it gave such a Jersey diner vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a short 15 minute wait before being seated and immediately greeted by our server. Amanda was very sweet and patient since it was our first time. The mimosa was tasty, made with fresh squeezed orange juice. The food was amazing and came out quickly. We realized early on that we will return for lunch. The mozzarella sticks are massive and this girl wants to try them.

    Mudslide Cake to go, and was given half a serving
    Mary S.

    Dots has always been a nostalgic place for me to visit and dine in with my family until I noticed smaller portions every time. What happened to the huge portions? Well, today can confirm I ordered a slice of my favorite mudslide cake to go and came home to find 1/2 of a slice given to me. This is a big disappointment coming from a local spot we visit when I am in home. Dot's, please do better.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The air in the restaurant blows so hard your food gets cold quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They ran out of cornbread dressing and the waitress was not informed. The pancakes were dry, the fries were cooked hard and brown. This is NOT the Pappas brand !!

    Omg. This location is such a quick and nice spot for breakfast! I'm talking hearty and tasty! I was super shocked and amazed on the quality of their food, especially giving that they are part of a chain. Let me tell you about their PANCAKES!!! O. M. G. They are soooooo crispy on the edges. Not too fluffy and not too thin. They were PERFECT! I'm coming back as soon as I can just for them! Everything was good...but the star was def the pancakes! The service obviously was good as well! I had zero issues. I loved how quick we were seated and evrything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It made the whole experience enjoyable and on top of that, the ambiance was spectacular![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Fried Catfish Breakfast
    Mynika C.

    It was my first time at Dot Coffee Shop and I learned that it was owned by Pappas! Cool. We went around 11am for breakfast and it did not disappoint. I ordered the fried catfish breakfast and I was quite impressed - specifically with the eggs, potatoes, and wheat toast. While I didn't dislike the catfish, I didn't love it. I would have preferred the catfish be fried harder. Either I was thirsty or the apple juice was fire! Ms. Holly was an attentive server and ensured we had everything we needed! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is that of a diner feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd definitely return!

    I absolutely love this place for breakfast! It is a casual spot for a nice breakfast. The portions are pretty big and the service is quick! There was not a plate that had exactly what I was looking for like a lot of breakfast spot too. It either had too much or less of what I wanted, but overall fresh food, and great great ingredients.

    I decided to check this place out after getting out of a concert at the Toyota Center and looking for a place that was open late to eat at. The drive was only about 15 minutes. They told us the wait would be 10-15 minutes but we ended up waiting over 30 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That's fine, as we sat outside and chatted while waiting. The weather wasn't bad and they have benches outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We first got the root beer float and it was delicious. It's a small size but sufficient. Filled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and the ice cream was tasty. After that, we ordered the Chicken & Waffles and the Philly Steak & Cheese. They both were very good. We were starving and this was definitely a way better option than eating food at the venue. I added hot sauce, lettuce, mayo, and tomato to my Philly and it was phenomenal. It comes on Texas Toast. I changed the chips to fries instead and they're some of the best fries I've had. So crispy and So good! We also got the chicken & waffles. The strawberries and sauce were very delicious and a great topping. The chicken was tasty and crispy as well as the waffle. This place is owned by Pappa's and I never heard about it before. It's open 24/7 which is really neat. We will definitely be back again as there are not many tasty places to eat that are open late.

    Brisket Eggs Benedict
    Emily M.

    This is a Houston staple. On a busy Saturday morning we were quoted 45 minutes and got day within 5. Service was super on top of it and food arrived very quickly. Every food item was delicious and very flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a fun little diner feel and they have a pie counter where you can see what dessert you want.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been coming my whole life and plan to continue.

    I went here for lunch with friends. It was busy but the wait was under 10 minutes. The staff were very nice as you walk in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor definitely gives a coffee house vibe which I like.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mary was our server and she was amazing. She was very attentive, charismatic, and knew the menu very well. The food was amazing. I highly recommend trying this place out.

    This place has the best home cook meals! First time here and I was not disappointed! Service was amazing too!!

    Tender with chips when it was suppose to be fries.

    Came back and the experience was worst. The front staff was nice and kind. They definitely kept their composure as other customers were expressing their frustration with the wait time. I'm going go straight to it, I can tell our waiter was in a rush and I will provide facts in the review. My wife ordered a burger with fries (2.50 extra) and I ordered the chicken strip basket (comes with fries). I waited til the end to double check the chicken strips came with fries, he said yes. He was about to walk away so I said oh can we cancel the fries from my wife and she gets the chips I'll give her mine. He goes that makes sense and walks off. We get our food, my wife gets fries and I get chips and we are later charged for the fries. I told the waiter that brought the food out ( diff guy) about the mix up. Apparently the original waiter didn't adjust for what I asked for correctly. Well this waiter was nice and apologize and said if we would like a side of fries. He said we will take care of it. He told our waiter who then came by and we told about the mix up and he goes oh I wasn't aware. No apology or anything. I said I just want to make sure we aren't charge for the fries on the burger he said ok and walked off. Then... My wife's burger came out half pink and half cooked and we had to get this taken care of. Our waiter response was ok so cooked all the way? We said yea that's what we said. It took another 15 minutes for my wife to get food and eat, almost 50-55 min to actually get to eat. Again no apology until he came back 3rd time to say it will be here shortly. As we waited my wife was talking to us and saying it's ridiculous to have to wait this long for me to eat. I heard the waiter who was at POS systems behind us say "shut up, just shut up" I do not know if he was referring to my wife or not. But either way that kind of talk should not be heard in a restaurant. It was not a joking shut up with co workers either. When my wife burger came out, so did Togo boxes that we did not ask for yet. My wife didn't even start eating yet. This is how I know there was a rush for us to get out. It was just a bad experience. DOT has really gone down over the years and continue to do so. Also I guess chicken strip dinner doesn't count as dinner where we get the rolls with it? Cause we were told last time during breakfast the rolls come with lunch and dinner items.... It's not fair to have to pay full price when you don't get quality service and have to wait even longer for your food.

    Came here because my BF swore this was one of his favorite brunch spots. After hearing him hype it…read moreup for so long, I had to see what all the fuss was about. Cruiser Coffee (Organic) - That's some bitter coffee. It's not sweet, but it has a residual candy-like taste that resembles something I can't quite recall. It's also strong--like it goes as hard as my Vietnamese coffee. My eyes started twitching about half a cup in. Love it. Fresh Orange Juice - OH YEAH. My orange juice connoisseur BFF gave it the thumbs-up of approval. We asked for a glass of ice, and it elevated the drink. Steak and Green Eggs (BFF) - Wow. Those green eggs--what's in them? What is in them? Delicious with buttered toast. The potatoes were perfectly crisp, and that steak? Seasoned so well, super fragrant, and moist. For a breakfast steak, it's great. Admittedly, it was lathered in butter. Annie's Low-Fat, High Protein Burrito - Not my favorite. It tasted a bit too healthy after that incredible steak, but as the flavor lingered, it grew on me. My favorite part was definitely the beans, which came through exceptionally clean. Lox Platter w. Everything Bagel - Exactly what the menu promised with high-quality ingredients. They were VERY generous with the capers, and I'm grateful for that. Refreshing, even with the two containers of cream cheese (I only used one). Their menu is so simple, but they've truly mastered what they serve. The service was very attentive, and our waiter was energetic and humorous. The atmosphere was pleasant and comforting--high-end without the snobby undertone. We'll definitely be back.

When placing an order, he just gave me a blank stare with an "okay" and walked away. Expected better because of the reviews. Had to cancel my order & leave.

Servers dressed up and ready to serve ginormous portions of whatever you want for breakfast or lunch. Bring a large appetite. Large size sweet and sour pickles come 1st to table . Fresh squeezed juice as flavorful as ones we had on Amalfi coast. Signature Reuben served open or closed with thousand island dressing and extra sauerkraut was large enough to share for the boys. Their signature chicken soup with a bagel chip was served steamy hot as we like it. Even has the world largest chocolate Eclair filled with bavariancreme and topped with chocolate. This place would be popular in S. Florida and very happy is here for the locals. Looking forward to a return.
