We stopped after picking up a friend at the airport and i had the chicken fried steak. The steak was a nice size, and was not pounded to paper thinness without a ton of batter. The mashed potatoes and gravy was great along with the mac and cheese! The hot rolls were great as well and the desserts looked great, just wish that we had room for some. Serves great diner type food,, meat loaf, chicken fried steak, liver & onions, pork chops, turkey & dressing, as well as other traditional fare..
This place is awesome. The best chicken fried steak ever. The gravy is out of this world. I've gone other places and then say why go anywhere else. Nothing compares to Dots! It really is the best. I too have been coming here for decades with family and church.

Lunch and dinner specials are wonderful - they have so many choices and the portions are huge! The pies are amazing!! The slice they give is 1/4 of the entire pie!! They serve freshly made bread and cornbread with each meal which melts in your mouth. I have been going to this place for years and they have never disappointed me!!
One of my top choices for breakfast. A classic spot with great food and giant portions.
A must stop when visiting Houston. The food is exceptional and always great service. I have never been disappointed with anything on the menu and the the pies. Oh the pies!!!! 😋Thanks for being great :)
Omg first time here, my fiancé had been wanting to take me for awhile, well we finally were able to go, and I must say this was the best breakfast ever 2 Days later and I’m still bragging on those grits

Food was hot, good and portions were substantial. I had a doggy bag, lol. I'll go back again and again, have been going for years now. Wait staff was on point.
SOME..... of the best food I've eaten! I had Catfish Shrimp combo plate and large Tea for about $20!!!! Great tasting Rolls! Tinsley's Fried Chicken Rolls but about 2-1/2 the size, for those familiar with Tinsley's Fried Chicken....

Love the taste and price. Definitely a jewel of Houston. I’d really recommend it to everyone. And by the way, the biscuits and gravy are exceptional.
Might have been the best chicken fried steak I have ever had. Service was great. Oh and the rolls.....oh my
The service was good the lady waiting on us very attentive the food great need more bath room stalls. Sorry to say parking area is being worked on not good. But we still keep coming back we really like DOTS
Great experience, hot, fresh delicious food. Our waitress was Della. She was great. Great start to the day!
Great food and service! Huge menu selection and portions! Love this place!
I loved this place! This was my first time eating here. I didn’t know it was owned by Pappas. For being what I’m assuming is an older restaurant, it is very well maintained. Very nice and clean and the employees were all very nice and helpful. The food was super comforting and delicious. I can’t wait to go back! So glad they’re 24hrs!
The food is always fresh. Service always on point. Atmosphere friendly. Love the homemade croutons. They are extremely dangerous!! My waiter Austin today gave impeccable service. He was very attentive, friendly and observative! I give him 10 stars!!
Great place for brunch! The atmosphere was diner/coffee shop like. The structure of the facility was vintage, very home like. Service was great! The food was amazing! Everyone at the table liked thier food. Definitely coming back when in town.
The customer service at Dot Coffee Shop is absolutely AMAZING. Danny was very helpful and attentive.
The food was DELICIOUS with the exception of the grits. The grits were absolutely terrible. The omelette was very flavorful and the french toast slices were huge and came in a generous portion.
I would definitely come back!
First time patron and the reviews were spot on! I absolutely loved the atmosphere at Dot's! It's lively with great music and amazing staff! We went on Sunday morning so it was busy with a reasonable wait time. We were told a 40 minute wait and were seated within 30 minutes. It was a yummy breakfast and it didn't break the bank! Three French Toast with 4 bacon slices...yummy yum yum! Will definitely go back to try put the menu.

We had a great experience at Dot Coffee Shop. The food was great. The bathroom facilities are clean…the diner has a great 1970’s vibe to it. Our waiter Alex was really personable.
It's always great for a late night fix. Open 24 hours, and they serve breakfast all day, which is a plus for us late risers. However their men's bathroom smelled like a mixture of perm and throw up, the owner needs to fix this problem as this jewel of a restaurant should not be treated this way.
Pretty good food and nice atmosphere. Prices are reasonable but on the higher side for a breakfast joint. It will fill you up!
The food was solid. Got the catfish & fries, and it was so good. Served up good and hot. Good service. Not too busy. Parking lot had plenty open spots. We were thankful they were open 24hrs, cause we needed a meal after partying.

What can I say? Place was recommended by a manager I was working with while in town and he was spot on with this one. The food tasted like it was made from scratch and fresh, not sure if it is. Place was clean and decor didn't look run down. Had a nice diner feel, and if you're familiar, reminded me of Big Boys restaurants. Smell was pleasant and the pies on display looked fresh and ready to eat and not like they'd been on display for a week.
Our server was great, knowledgeable and had good input on suggestions. She was genuine and we laughed a lot. She attentive to our needs throughout breakfast and was also on point with her communication when I had issues with my card having an error. This place deserves it's reputation and as a place to be suggested. Try the chicken fried steak or chicken fried chicken. The biscuits were huge and flakey. Top it off with their gravey... Heaven. Lastly, kinda weird point as it's normally a inauspicious filler and side item, but the hash browns were the best I've ever had. Both crisp where needed and when I broke my over easy egg on top of it, it was super creamy. I could eat that combo several times a week.
As constant travelers for work 3 or more weeks a month, my companions and I have had it all. We can be hard to impress or please at times. It's very telling that such simple fare could leave such an impression on all of us. It just goes to show that even if it's simple, if you do it with care and quality, it can still be excellent. Like Lebron! 🤣 I will be coming back next visit to HTown!🤙🏾
