Clean friendly place! Great coffee and very good quality food choices. I had the crayfish breakfast special and it was terrific. Good Wi-Fi also. Second visit and remembered the name on my way to the airport again (not from the area) read more

Great spot for breakfast! The Cajun omelet was amazing. Friendly staff and the food was really good. We will be coming back soon!

A diner chain in Louisiana with reliably good diner food. My favorite is the healthy omelette, with toast. Basic and simple, but sometimes that is the best way. read more

We wanted to eat more local than just a chain so we stopped in Dots. We shouldn't have. I'm not going to blast them but... The service was nice but incredibly slow and they messed up our order twice. I should say, they made them right. The hash browns we're good which was why the two stars. The omelet was crispy, not good. The worst thing was the watery coffee. I can go into more detail but it will just be nit picking mediocre dinner food. read more

Staying at the motel 6 in Luling on my way home to Florida I stopped by for breakfast. The food was good but more importantly the staff was great! I came back for dinner and I'm looking forward to breakfast again tomorrow morning before I head home. Down south hospitality at its finest! read more

This is one of my regular stops when I'm in the area. As always, service and food were great. My only complaint was that the place was VERY busy and it took close to a half hour before my friend and I got our food, but like I said, the place was VERY busy. I will definitely stop there again and will recommend this place to my friends. Still the best hashbrowns...crunchy outside and chewy in the middle. read more

Breakfast all day. Bathrooms clean with soap and paper towels. Friendly staff. Soups just warm but everything else nice and hot. Plain, no frills diner interior. Good selection, good food. 3 stars only because it was a good average place but did not stand out. Would give 3 1/2 stars if it was possible. read more

After leaving a poor review about 10 days ago I'd like to say my fiancé and I have made a return trip to Dots. One thing I've learned is that the best time to go is after the shift change, when night shift comes in. Jody and Niblett are the best. Our most recent visit was 100X better than the last one. Niblett is very consistent with the quality of food. He always remembers what we want to order, but always doubles checks first because he knows I change it up on a rare occasion. We always get a greeting from Jody and Niblett the minute we walk in. They make us feel very welcome, almost like we're having dinner at their homes. Jody is the best waitress ever. She's friendly, very attentive, and 100 % personable with all of costumers. Jody and Niblett were there when my fiancé proposed to me in Dot's (because Dot's is where we met). I'll never 100% give up on Dot's but I do believe the majority of my visits will be late at night with my soon to be husband and the best team ever: Jody and Niblett! read more

This DD has the best Patty Melts in the city It reminds me of the old time dinners when I was a kid My Grandparents owned a dinner in upstate NY ,this takes me back.Good food &friendly people with one upgrade free internet read more

Great place to eat anytime day or night. The staff is super friendly and the comfort food is great.

Went for the first time the other day after years of hearing the commerical I finally gave in! Good choice! Can't wait to go back! Good food, decent prices and a great staff!! read more

It's a Dot's Diner. There isn't much to say. They are all dirty kitchens, but the staff is great, and it's me and my daughter's guilty pleasure. It's an upper management issue that keeps the kitchen too small, leaving no room for their equipment, which leads to a nasty kitchen. Which is right out front for your customers to see, "Dot". read more

I found myself at Dot's in Luling when my car broke down on the side of the road nearby. I called AAA and proceeded to Dot's for a bite to eat while I expected to wait ninety minutes for the tow truck to arrive. Well, ninety minutes turned into a four hour wait. The entire staff couldn't have been nicer or more hospitable to me during what seemed to be an eternity. They even found me a phone charger because my battery was running low. Many thanks to these kind people. My breakfast was very tasty and promptly served to me. I've never had so much coffee at one meal. So, if you're hungry or broken down on the side of the road, there is no better refuge than Dot's Diner in Luling! read more

Man, I want to love Dot's SO HARD but I just can't. My mom is straight-up In Love with this place, and so is my sister, and her guy.... they seriously go eat here constantly whenever sis is in town. Unfortunately, I have yet to find anything other than the bacon and orange juice which doesn't gross me out. In my experience: the little burgers are way overdone (and I like mine well done), the fries aren't great, the hash browns are greasy and mushy and blah, the eggs are meh, the waffles are undercooked and doughy, blueberries and strawberries on top are frozen-then-microwaved-and-slightly-hot... which isn't a sin in itself, but it's somehow gross and I didn't even want to finish the fruit. That says a lot because up until this point I hadn't met fruit I wouldn't eat. How do you mess up strawberries and blueberries?? I know it's a diner, and trust me-- I'm not judging this place against brunch with mimosas and crème brulee at Palace Café or anything. But greasy spoon should at least be so-good-in-a-so-bad-for-you kinda way, and so far Dot's has fallen short of the mark for me. I've been there several times and haven't once had a meal that made me go "yum!"... and I always smell like grease and yuck when I leave (insult to injury). I'm sure I'll end up going back because it starts feeling like rude and no-love turning down the constant invites from the family for breakfast, and hopefully one day I'll stumble upon the One Thing On The Menu that does it for me. Until then? I'll be headed down the road to IHOP if I have a choice in the matter. :) read more

The employees were very friendly and had a great sense of humor. The menu was straight forward diner fair with some very pleasant surpsises, my favorite of which was the crawfish bread. It was so flavorful and absolutely delicious. My regret was not ordering more of it! I also had the hot sausage sandwich. Delicious! Beignet sticks for dessert were also great. Great value, great good, great service! read more

Dots Diner - Luling - The crawfish bread was to die for. - Diners Near Me - Luling, Louisiana

Love the corned beef hash. Not the healthiest, but good for a treat. Small place - so expect a wait, but friendly staff. Come eat here when company is visiting. They have an online club and send coupons. read more

Dots Diner - Luling - Corned beef hash!! With hot sauce. - Diners Near Me - Luling, Louisiana

I was wrong. This is not 5 star restaurant. I should of had just breakfast from the hotel I stayed. It is like waffle house. No even worse. Just like cheap motel style breakfast. And not even cheap or good portion of food. Worst experience. read more

I ordered the heart healthy omelet without onions and wheat toast, got onions and white toast. Child ordered eggs with cheese, no cheese. Servers are attentive but serious attention needs to be given to the table areas and to taking the orders. Not sure why there is a ketchup size container of butter on the table. Over all a good hole in the wall but do not expect top notch service or healthy food. Good diner food in a fun old fashioned environment. **bathrooms were AWFUL!!! read more

One of my favorite parts of eating here is watching the cook prepare all the meals. Monday's is my favorite day because of the "Red beans and Rice" I saw and order go out with a pork chop. It was dredged in a seasoned flour with a fresh chop. Saline (sp) loves her job and it shows in her attitude and food. When was the last time you heard a cook humming while turning out awesome food? read more

They say "you are always at home at Dots" -maybe at home at your mother in law. I had a very bad experience at Dots. The place looks very outdated. We got the worst place after long time not be recognized by the employees. Waiting for food was extraordinary long. The French toast was very black. Definitely one of my worst breakfast experiences in the US. read more

Ok, we thought we could give it another shot. Not again, all the prices have gone up! We wont pay more for food that was worth the price it was before. read more

Pancakes and staff on point. Love the grits me cheese. Not your momz food but it shall hit the spot

This place reminds me of Waffle House all the way down to the different options on the hash browns. The service was great. She was very friendly. Great food and great price! read more

I really enjoyed myself at Dot's, the food was excellent and the service was great. Very friendly employees and courteous, I will be back, thank you read more

Nice little place located next to the Best Western Hotel I was staying at - friendly staff who go the distance to please you - I do not eat pork and the young lady who served me tried really hard to get a substitute dish for me, to make up for some bacon bits that were in a dish I ordered. Great hash browns and general breakfast fare - and I just love it when the cook, an elderly lady, shouts out "Order up!" whenever she's conjured up some more fabulous food for her customers! Great place - highly recommend it ... read more

I found a Hair in my Pancake! The Food made me sick for some reason, but the food was kind of good! I was Kind of impressed!

Dot's is the classic diner style breakfast place. I've always had great service whether picking up or dining in. Very good breakfast anytime of the day. The inside could use a cleanup and update but that doesn't affect the quality of the food and service. read more

Jody and Niblett give great service. This place have the best club sandwich I have ever had. I met my fiancé here and as well as engaged to her here as well. Good place read more

We enjoy Dot's as take-out! I'm not the biggest fan of the inside, but if you're all about that classic diner look, then this place is for you. read more

My husband and I enjoy eating at Dot's several times a week. Before he retired, we would met there every day for lunch. For breakfast, the Creole Queen can't be beat. Lunchtime, give me the Grilled Chicken Chef Salad. Dinner, I like to go a little lighter, so I opt for a Grilled Cheese on Wheat with Shrimp and Corn Soup. The staff is wonderful. When a favorite may leave, for whatever reason, it seems as if they have a knack to hire someone just as likable. Keep up the good work, Larry Katz! read more

I wanted to try something different so I decided to get the Breakfast burger. Great choice it came with 6oz patty, 2 slices of crispy bacon, golden hash brown, and a fried egg ( I kept it healthy and had a scrambled egg whites lol) on a fresh bun. Besides the great burger the service was awesome. They always make you feel at home. I've been a manager in fine dining your many years and it's nice to get away from the uppity every once and awhile. read more

The servers were so friendly and very quick. We ordered the Philly, the Reuben, pancakes and a cheeseburger. Everything was so delicious! We have been traveling through Memphis, Destin FL and New Orleans. This was one of our best meals! Might even be the best Reuben we've ever had! The diner is exactly as you'd expect it to be. read more

Love the food and the staff. Any time I go in they're always cracking jokes and making everyone feel right at home.

One of the best places to eat in luling! I usually come during the overnight shift cause Casey always makes my food really delicious and really pretty. The foods always good when i come but plate presentation is important too! If you're in the mood for a late night snack or early morning breakfast definitely go see Casey and tell her lance sent you. she'll hook you up and have a smile on her face the whole time she's cooking. It's nice to see employees actually enjoying their jobs! read more

Took kids there after a day of bball games, we were tired and hungry. The staff was welcoming and very personable. It was a busy night, the male cook got ALL of our orders perfect, which is rare in a "one cook" diner. Thanks, we will be coming back. read more

I LOVE Dots Diner SO much because everything they have is AWESOME! The texture is good and I LOVE me some grits, sausages, and eggs.

This was our first time at Dot's Diner but it will definitely NOT be our last! The food was amazing and the staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Dot's has great food atmosphere, great atmosphere, and makes you feel at home. read more

Been here dozens of times. Open all night so it's a plus with my late work schedule. You know what you get when you come and can always expect pretty much the same thing. My son loves this place. Only reason I give it 3 stars is because a few years ago I got food poisoning from the grilled chicken. Was NOT fun but after so time I have forgiven the place and eaten there again. read more

This is a good spot called dots diner when you want a good ole meal cooked by your mom but your no where near her, dots service is a perfect 10 with amazing food read more
