Went for lunch. Food was ok. A bit over cooked, a bit dry. I had chicken strips and Fries. Service was ok when we first got there, there was only one other person in the bar/restaurant. So service was fine. Ordered a soda, ordered food. But as time went the restaurant was getting busy. Service fell off the rails. Brought out our food, and the next time we saw the wait staff was when he brought the bill. No refills on soda. Drank what we had before our meals were brought to the table. Nothing to drink for the meal. I guess we could have gone to the bar and ordered more, but they came to us when we were seated at our table, so I just assumed he would be back to ask if we wanted refills.Nice bar/restaurant atmosphere. Good music. Lots of TV's if your interested in watching. Lots of seating at the bar, and I was told they have a dining area as well. The place is nice and clean.I would give this place another chance if and when I am ever in the area again.Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a wheelchair ramp.

Dotty's is a nice place to stop and eat after a day's activities such as hiking.

Not far from coaches…. Yet more disappointed. I ordered the chicken royal and no where does it say onions. I had raw onions in my wrap, and I asked for the dressing on the side meaning none in the wrap at all yet there was both of of these things made me regret getting this item and barley eat it. Leaving sick.The greasy cheese curds where veryyy good, that I would order again if I were to come again.Parking: If there is an event it can be hard to get a spot next to the building. Even the accessible parking was hard to get into. Yet there is parking across the street.

Enjoyed lunch with family during a rather slow Tuesday afternoon. The food was hot, the service friendly and helpful.Parking: Plenty of parking around the building during the day, but I can see where this would be at a premium during busier evening hours or on the weekend. However, there is a free municipal parking lot just down the block or on-street parking across the road.

We met friends at this restaurant because it was about halfway in between our locations. When first entering, we were put off by the small, rustic bar scene - fortunately our friend thought to come in and check on us - turned out they were at the outside dining area. This was a much more conducive place for a relaxed visit. Food was generally unremarkable - very little that a person on a low inflammation diet can eat - I should have had the salad, which was absolutely huge, and looked very good.

Great service, good selection, awesome environment. Try the wings ❤️

Servers are very nice, but service is very slow and inconsistent. Food is as mediocre as possible without being bad. Pizza is barely cooked with a chewy soft crust.

This is a nice place. Even though the main dining room was closed for a private event, the outdoor patio and bar area were available, and we were served quite promptly. The food was good, the service was excellent. The only downside to the patio seating is that it is right next to the main thoroughfare in town, so the is a fair bit of road noise. All in all, we had a pleasant experience.

Been going to Dotty’s since I moved to Cross Plains. The owner is very polite and always mindful of the customers. The bartenders are amazing and their service is amazing. The food is also very good. Arguably the best bar food I’ve had. It’s you’re small town bar vibe and everyone knows each other.

We really want to like this place, but the first bad sign was a glass of wine that smelled and tasted like vinegar (I asked the bartender to open a new bottle, which he did). Then our burgers ($11) that were supposed to be cooked medium were rare, with the middle basically uncooked. Come on, if you can't even cook a simple burger. Sorry, but the meal just felt lame. I don't think we'll be returning any time soon.

First time here and my buddy and I could not have been more impressed. The food has an obvious Cajun theme going and everything was delicious.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. My friend and I had bad service Wednesday and her & I will not come back. The bartender Wednesday night ( October 19th) first of all, we only order Appetizers for starters and without asking if we wanted an main dish to have dinner, she just took away our menus without asking. All she did when we were there is hung out at the other side of the bar. Did not check on us. They other people that were working didn’t even check on us or asked it we wanted anything. I think she was rude for not doing her job and check up on the customers like us but, she stood and talk to the other people at the other side of the bar and counted money. If I could rate this bar, I give it an 0 stars if not 0 stars it would be an 1.

Service was just "eh". Seemed they were more interested in the packer game than their customers. Sat around for awhile with an empty drink and they weren't very busy. Food was just "ok". Not sure why they called it a blackened chicken wrap. There was no flavor on it. My step mom also said their poor boy shrimp sandwich wasn't the greatest either. Probably won't be back.
