    Its a not very unique Dots location. Im not a big fan of eating breakfast anywhere than at home because no. 1, I do a better job, no. 2, its the cheapest meal you can make and no. 3 , I am very impatient. This location , we visited after Zeta but before Ida, was still having a hard time with the breakfast crowd. Took a little longer than I am used to so it made my edgy and unhappy. Grumpy if you will. The food came out as we ordered. Wifey likes her bacon extra crispy, they pulled that off. The eggs were the way I like, it all just took a little too long. There isn't a lot of choices in the area so if you cant cook at home, stop on in. Just don't be starving and expecting fast fast food.

    My quest to eat at every Dot's location is now complete. If you're looking for a classic diner with good, reasonably priced, food find yourself any of Dot's five locations. In case you were not aware, I am a ridiculous human being. A while back one of my co-workers suggested we get breakfast for lunch and that Dot's is where we should go. We went, and it was great. That is when we decided we should visit every location and see which is the best. When we first decided to hit every location we made a huge miscalculation. We thought all of the Dot's were in Jefferson Parish. It wasn't until we went online that we saw St. Charles had it's own location in beautiful Luling. I don't get to Luling very often so the trip here was made specifically to eat at Dot's. From the looks of the place, it must have been a different business before becoming a Dot's. It is right next to a hotel on beautiful Hwy 90 and is very easy to get to. Service was among the most friendly of all the locations. They could tell we were new as most of the other customers seemed to be long time regulars. That didn't stop them from treating us great and making sure we left happy. The food here was, like the rest of the locations, very good. I'd go so far as saying it's the best breakfast I've ever had in St. Charles Parish other than crosandwichs with my dad on the way to fishing as a kid. This visit ended my quest to try every Dot's. I'd rank this location as #5 only because it is so far from my normal stomping grounds. But you can bet that the next time I am in Luling, I will be eating here.

    Breakfast at Dots Diner in Luling. Our first visit to a dots diner ever and we were very impressed. Don't be put off by this humble joint, as they actually serve up one of the best breakfasts in South Louisiana. The service here was great, they take your order fast and get you coffee as soon as your seated. My spouse enjoyed the Steak breakfast with the steak cooked medium rare and along with eggs sunny side up, hash browns and toast. The steak was cooked properly and the eggs were just right. I was amazed, impressed and delighted with the Creole Queen Breakfest which was Crawfish smothered over two eggs (Sunny Side Up!) with biscuits, hash browns and toast. It's rare nowadays that I find a new breakfast dish, but this was a new discovery for me and it was amazing! A perfect combination of Crawfish, sauce and eggs! I highly recommend Dots Diner in Lulling for their great breakfast selections to start out your day!

    Good  coffee

    From the outside it looked slammed because it's a compact diner, but it was worth stopping. We sat right away and the servers were all friendly and helpful. The food was diner cooking and came out hot and of good portion. Coffee was superb.

    I stumbled upon Jay Flem on Yelp, and I'm so glad I did. It's a small cozy spot, only a few people…read morewere seated when I walked in but I was greeted like family the moment I stepped through the door. It's open seating, so I grabbed a table in the middle, and the Jae immediately made me feel taken care of. She handed us physical menus (even though there was a QR code), shared her favorite dishes, and offered drinks with such genuine warmth that it felt like we were regulars. We ordered the fish pasta platter and the red beans and rice plate, and let me tell you every bite was a flavor bomb. The fish was tender, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned. The pasta was creamy, full of Cajun spice, loaded with shrimp, and just addictive. The red beans and rice were soft, hearty, and deeply flavorful, paired with a fresh side salad and four crispy wings. Every item on the plate felt intentional. The food came out piping hot, condiments were offered without even needing to ask, and the garlic bread? A star in its own right. Crunchy, buttery, garlicky heaven. To top it all off, we had the bread pudding, and whew, that dessert took me out. Rich, sweet, and soul-soothing. I'm pretty sure I went into a food coma afterward. I walked in a stranger and left feeling like I had joined a community. Jay Flem is a hidden gem I'll be raving about for a long time. Don't sleep on it.

    We are from New Mexico and travel often to actively seek out local flavor. If you are looking for…read morean incredible meal, look no further. Chef Terry is a true professional; the attention to detail and depth of flavor here is something you usually only find in high-end city spots. Our server, Ronjae, provided service that was absolutely outstanding. Before we even ordered, he told us we wouldn't need to touch the salt or pepper because the food was 'off the charts' flavorful--and he was 100% right. We ordered the pasta and fish plate. The pasta with the shrimp and crawfish was incredible! I am not usually a big fish person, but this was outstanding--if I could get it prepared that well everywhere, I'd order it every day. And whatever you do, don't skip the bread pudding. It was out of this world! Pro Tip: If you happen to get there on a Thursday, you would be wise to purchase some of Crystal's pralines. They're incredible! It's so rewarding to support a locally owned business operating at this level. Do yourself a favor and go eat here!

Got the brisket boudin, pork belly burnt ends, oxtails, hot honey pork jowls cracklins, and Jamaican jerk sausage. I think my favorites were the brisket boudin and the oxtails. I came with a group, and we all went silent after we sat down and started eating lol. Even the pickled onions and peppers were unbelievable. Also got the bread pudding with white chocolate sauce, Gouda grits, and Mac n cheese. Those were delicious too! You could skimp out on those though. Just keep an eye out for updates on instagram

    I came here under advice of my lovely nephew. I ordered the original chicken sandwich-mild, an…read moreorder of fries, and a drink. My order was delivered to me in a short time and I set to eat. Guys, it was THE BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH I'D EVER HAD. It was lava hot, juicy, and greasy. It was also absolutely delicious. I was concerned that the thigh meat was going to taste different. But I could not tell.The fries were crinkle cut, but were seasoned well. Didn't even need ketchup for them. The place is very clean and they had 80s music playing in the background, my favorite decade of music. Not surprising, being an 80s kid. The damage all told, including a tip, was $25. Is it expensive? Yes. Is the quality and quantity of the food commensurate to the price? Also yes. Is it worth the hype? ABSOLUTELY YES. I was also informed there's a Hammond location. I will definitely bring my family there, as it's closer, to try them out as well.

    With its humble beginnings from a food truck to several locations around southern Louisiana. Please…read morerefer to the website for locations. We went to the restaurant in New Orleans (Metairie). It is off Veterans Blvd. It is on the right side as you are driving east. Please be on the lookout. Otherwise, you might pass it by. Tends to spring up and drive by. We almost missed it. This is a fantastic location! Kinda tight and almost missed it. Parking is very limited. If you get discouraged you cannot find a good parking spot. I believe you may park on back street? Do not hold me to that. Worst case, you can always get your order to go. It was our first time. We were curious about and not many restaurants offer fresh made pork cracklings. Usually you have to buy it at a local market or know someone. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They briefly went over a few recommendations. We started with of course, order of adobo fresh pork cracklings. Adobo or traditional** crispy pork belly, adobo sauce, topped with garlic peanut rub Southerns Queso burger - 6 oz. beef patty*, pickled jalapeño, queso, beer battered onion ring with order of fries. Tender meal - Choose your spice level. 3 jumbo chicken tenders, fries, and tender sauce. (Mild) Southerns Original Chicken Sandwich - Choose your spice level. Boneless chicken thigh, Yuzu aioli, slaw, housemade pickle. (Mild) I was curious about the Phuket Sauce. So I got an order too. This tastes great! Not spicy at all. Do not let the pepper fool you. It has a little kick but not spicy at all. All are well seasoned. Few of them you can choose your spice level. We all washed down with fountain drinks. They do offer catering services and possibly call ahead ordering. Please reach out to them for options. If you are in the mood for something different but great food. Give them a try if in the area.
