    Amazing soul food in northern Alabama! Stopped in on a road trip and was blown away by the food! Prices were affordable, and the food was so great! Can’t wait to be back!

    If you like home cooking, this is your place. I cannot recommend the pork tenderloin or the fried chicken enough. Both are top tier. Fried green tomatoes? Never greasy, never soggy. I have never had a bad meal here. As a bonus, did I mention they have excellent desserts? Try the chess pie.

    Some of the best fried chicken and macaroni and cheese I have ever had. If you know you know, and if you don't... I suggest you find out. I was driving through around lunchtime and I saw a whole bunch of cars, so I figured I would turn around and see what this place was. I am so so glad that I did. The chicken breast was the juiciest fried chicken I have ever had. Perfectly seasoned in my opinion. The pinto beans were good too. I really want to go back any try more. The staff was super friendly also.

    Took my girlfriend for Mother's Day. Food was great as always, staff did a great job, and the environment was pleasant. I'm glad Dots is in our local area as one of the few remaining meat and threes.
