“ It’s cool this is the first Pappas restaurant that started it all. It’s got that old classic diner feel even the tables and chairs resemble that for maybe the 1970s other than reupholstered so it was things are in good condition. The pies and cake look delicious. The food made from scratch came out quickly. Service was attentive overall and above average any experience that’s why I give it four starsI’d say from a price standpoint. It was a good thing for buck because got very full on the Houston omelette. ”
“ This place has a nostalgic vibe to it. The old school interior, the music, and the good food. My wife and I had dinner here for the first time yesterday and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious. The pancakes we shared were massive lol. We spent roughly $50 for what you see in the pictures so not cheap. However, the portions are huge. And the quality of the food is great. Definitely worth it in my opinion. They're also open 24 hours which is cool! Not many places do that in general nowadays. Hell, not even IHOP! . I recommend giving this place a try. Shout out to our waiter Corvin! He was very pleasant and informative! 5 service. ”
“ The food was amazing. I had country fried steak and eggs. The gravy just so so but the steak, eggs, and that melt in your mouth biscuit was the star. The pancake was good also. My had chicken fried chicken and she loved it ”
“ I was in town for work and this place was highly recommended by my hosts so I decided to try. The food was great and the staff were friendly. I got the Breakfast Feast and I loved it. I will stop by again whenever I'm in town. A+++ ”
“ I’m a huge fan of Pappasito’s, so when I heard that the Pappas family owned Dots Coffee Shop, I had to try it out and it did not disappoint! We stopped by late one night and started with the mozzarella sticks, and let me tell you… they were massive. Like, one stick per person is more than enough. They came with Marinara and I asked for ranch super good for dipping in both. If you’re with a group, it’s the perfect appetizer to share. If not no worries, they make great leftovers. The hashbrowns were not your typical flat ones. These were thick cut, fresh, and almost like little chunks of crispy potato. Super satisfying. We also tried the chicken fried steak with eggs, and everything on the plate was on point. The eggs were perfectly cooked (not dry!), the gravy was rich and flavorful, and the portion sizes were huge you could definitely split a plate. The biscuits were a standout too. I had a friend with me who never eats biscuits, and even they loved them. Light, fluffy, and just the right amount of crisp on the outside. Oh, and the grits? Smooth and buttery classic comfort food done right. Service was quick, our waitress was super friendly, and the entire place was clean and welcoming. For a spot connected to the Pappas restaurant group, I was honestly expecting it to be pricey but it was really affordable.If you haven’t tried Dots Coffee Shop yet, this is your sign. Great food, generous portions, fast service, and prices that won’t break the bank. I’ll definitely be back! ”
