    Came here on a Sunday morning (815am) with my family (6 of us) and waited for about 20 minutes. The restaurant was cute inside. They were busy inside but service was slow which would explain some of the slowness with the line. Our waitress took about 10-15 minutes to come take our order after we sat down. Drinks and food didn't take too long but we had tried to ask for some things and she ran off before we could finish our request. She didn't seem happy when I asked for something when she got back. She ultimately never gave me what I asked for and I had to ask one of the bussers. Maybe she forgot... She didn't come back to our table until it was time for the check which also took a very long wait. Our waters were never filled despite there being two bussers roaming the restaurant non stop. We were quite disappointed with the service. Food was okay. Nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary. Oatmeal was on the thicker side. Scrambled eggs were on the dryer side. Steak was cooked fine. Given this experience, I would not come back. Service was slow and the server didn't seem to care for us. I know it was busy and people have bad days but this ruined our experience. Also we had called to ask if we could make reservations (never having been here) a few days before and the person who answered the phone gave a snarky reply.

    #2 breakfast with the corn muffin

    This place is great: I understand how it's continued to thrive over multiple decades. I've only been for breakfast, but the food is all solid diner fare. The food came out very soon after ordering, and was well-prepared. I got eggs over easy with patty sausage and home fries. The home fries are well seasoned and not soggy nor fried to the point of being dry. The housemade bread and the muffins are very tasty: definitely worth the extra few bucks. My son got the waffle and it was deliciously buttery and sweet, with a wonderful texture

    Famous berry pancakes, turkey club sandwich and fries, and the biscuit and gravy with eggs also with home fries

    Came upon this cute restaurant in google just passing through town. The restaurant had a homey feel in a unique location. The food was delicious. The sausage gravy was excellent. The waitress said to try out the famous berry pancakes and it did not disappoint! Would recommend!

    Very gross canadian bacon and a burnt english muffin.

    I gotta take out egg sandwich because they were very busy. The canadian bacon was pretty gross and unchewable. The english muffin was burnt also.

    Another successful visit, and by successful I mean a full stomach at a reasonable price. Popped up to Mt.Snow for some early bird runs. Conditions were poor and all the Jerrys were starting to show up so left early and treated myself to a top notch breakfast. I definitely enjoyed the french toast, will try the raisin bread slices next time!

    Waffle

    Such a fun classic diner experience. This place is the cutest. It's situated right on a river with cool views. We stopped here while visiting friends in the area. We enjoyed many coffee refills and conversations. Service was quick and kind. We got all the classic diner food - scrambles, waffles, etc. it was all perfect! This is definitely a small town staple! We will be back!

    Chicken Salad Wrap

    Loved the chicken salad wrap, served with potato salad and cucumber dill. Great service!

    Veggie omelette with home fries and mimosa

    Delicious food! Server was so funny and nice and the ambiance was extremely homey! will come again when in the area

    Omelette with avocado and house made bread

    Dots is a must visit every time I'm in Wilmington! A great spot for breakfast and lunch with all of your favorite diner classics and more! Great food and fair prices! The service is always fast and attentive. It's a smaller spot, but they can accommodate bigger groups. If you're not seated for breakfast by 10am, you can expect there to be a wait. I highly recommend checking out their specials. This time we tried the cinnamon bun and it did not disappoint! I had a classic breakfast of an omelette and their whole grain bread they make in house. Add this to your list if you're heading to the Wilmington area!

    Super fast and friendly service with a relaxing atmosphere. Pancakes and eggs were absolutely delicious. We did not regret this random stop traveling through the area!

    Good home cooking in a true diner setting. Great wait staff and always a tasty and filling way to start the day. Parking can be tough when the town is busy but we got lucky today!

    What a meal!! Pumpkin raisin pancakes were awesome! Bacon was thick!!
    Edward K.

    My wife and I were staying nearby for a weekend getaway. The day before we had driven an hour to a destination breakfast restaurant near Killington that was highly recommended by a friend. That place was excellent, in our opinion Dot's was better. Dot's exudes local community charm. They had flooding issues during a 2013 storm and completely renovated. They maintained the charm. They also knew how to turn tables, although crowded the wait was reasonable. The waitress was very nice and we got to enjoy the counter experience. The food was outstanding! Served hot and quickly, I went with a "hungry man" style meal. Eggs, pumpkin raising pancakes, toast, bacon, and home fries. Each part was outstanding. The pumpkin pancakes were amazing, loved the raisins. My wife enjoyed her omelette. I can see why this is a community institution. We'll look to return when we're back in Vermont.

I first heard of Country Girl after watching Chronicle approx. 2 year ago. The whole experience was awesome! We ordered drinks immediately after taking our seats at the counter. I had a pepsi and I had to order a vanilla milk shake to go! My wife had water and coffee. We wanted to get our order in because we felt like the staff was nice enough to let us in that we didn't want to stall them from getting out at closing. My wife had grilled cheese with tomato soup. I had a burger with fries. My wife was thrilled with the soup. She said it was the best tomato soup she has had in a long time! My fries were excellent. home made and tasty! You can see in the pictures that the diner is set up with booths and a counter top. I am told that they are busy year round. I can see why because the food and service is fabulous. The staff was so nice and welcoming! Price: fair Parking: plenty of parking in the lot Vibe: great music...welcoming Would I come back again? Yes, I would love to visit in the summer on a beautiful warm day! 5-stars!

What you'd hope for in an updated rustic old Vermont building. 2. The service has been excellent on both visits, with the caveat that breakfast is busy and the food took a long time to arrive. 3. Breakfast was solid. Not transcendent but solid eggs and toast and home fries and coffee and everybody seemed happy. Room for improvement 1. For Putney Vermont - get some decent vegan and vegetarian options. 2. The veggie burger was bean based, mushie old-school 70's style. Fell apart as soon as you picked it up. 3. The cheeseburger was good. It's just that for $18 you could show a little more attention to detail. A greenish slice of winter tomato. A single leaf of iceberg lettuce. 2 ringlets off an onion slice. And no pickle. 4. The fries that came with it had to be sent back to be cooked longer. And there was a big puddle of oil on the plate once I slid the par-cooked fries onto a side dish. The server was lovely about it and they came back fast and cooked through. But my guess is the oil wasn't hot enough hence the grease puddle. 5. The chicken orzo soup was meh. I don't try it. Brought it home for sick family member. And sorry but my personal pet peeve - the pre-calculated tip options were 20,22,25% and all calculated on top of the sales tax. Understand that it has gotten VERY expensive to go out for a burger for your average local. So putting a little more attention into it would be greatly appreciated. All the best, and thank you.
