DOTTY & RAYS - SALEM'S OLDEST DINER

Undercooked fries with extra cajon seasoning
Grilled cheese with way too much cheese/soggy sourdough bread. Sad but true

Rainy Monday morning greeted by polite waitress and excellent “eggs my way”.

My girls and I attempted to eat at the Salem retreat on our first morning of our trip. We waited 20 minutes for a table after watching 7-10 people be seat AFTER we were given a buzzer to wait. We left and came to Dotty & Rays. We got a table as soon as we walked in, had water brought over immediately, drink and food orders promptly taken. The food was fantastic. We had one part of our order missing and once they realized the issue, it was remedied with speed and courtesy. Everyone was very friendly and renewed our experience in Salem. We enjoyed it some much we came back this morning. This is the place to come to a good meal and pleasant experience to start your day. Come to Dotty and Rays!

The food and service were amazing!

Mary was so friendly and quick. She checked on us while still waiting on other tables. I personally want to thank her for the superb service!

The food was delicious, I got the cheeseburger omelette (amazing), my husband got the biscuits and gravy and my sister got the terrible twos with pancakes. All of it was made to perfection and filling!

We will be back in on our next visit!

Chocolate chip pancakes are amazing. So much that you don't need any syrup.
Be warned, plates are big, like sharing big.

Our server Mary was excellent. She had a great personality and made our dining fun. The food was incredible. We all had leftovers the portions were so big. I recommend them to everybody and next time I visit Salem I’ll be visiting there again. Props to the cooks. My homemade hash was amazing!
