Dot's Place

13805 Orchard Lane, 255-7288

Mon-Fri,11am-2pm

Dot's Place elevates homestyle cooking to an art form; a meal with two vegetables and bread will leave you dreaming of food for days. Order the fried catfish or daily specials from the menu or take a trip through the bountiful buffet line. Meatloaf, chicken with dressing, beef with gravy, collard greens, and stewed okra represent only a fraction of the changing selections. Most meals cost around $5. Wear baggy clothes; you'll need extra room after the meal is over.
