My burger was tiny, and cost $15 without fries. Ranch is $2 for a 1 oz cup. Server acted busy when it was slow.

Don't let the hype fool you. There's nothing good to eat. Won't return.

Food here is good, and the service was very good too. However, I gave 1 star for the atmosphere because, while we were having dinner, all the TVs were showing a very racist movie. I was shocked that a restaurant so close to campus, with many students from diverse backgrounds, would air such a film. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable, and I probably won’t return because of this.

DO NOT eat here if you plan on attending an event at the university. You will be late or miss it. Or I guess you could double the time they tell you. Several of the staff are rude, particularly the hostesses. The menu is pretty tired and greasy. I’m done with them.

Mediocre food. The staff was not knowledgeable about the food when asked questions. We asked if the apps were fresh and while the pickle chips are the rest are prefrozen. Malt was not a Malt. We were disappointed.

Food quality has gone downhill. Past few times we've barely been able to get our lunch in under an hour. Ordered a burger today, and the 'smoked bacon' on it amounted to two small postage stamp sized, super thin and soggy squares.

Came across this this cute, famous burger joint by accident and we were really pleased! Sunday afternoon quite busy, but was seated immediately. Burgers are delicious but fries are alacarte... amusing atmosphere and is darling ?

Great experience to visit after a Wisconsin gameday. Beware that the small space will be PACKED and the wait can get long, but the cheese curds and burgers are worth it! Just grab a drink from the bar while you wait and time will fly.

I knew I needed to eat a burger when visiting WI but Dotty's takes it to the next level! Not only are the burgers outstanding but the cocktails are dynamite and I could not stop eating the Bacon Truffle Fries.

Outstanding service, food and atmosphere!! Rose our waitress was super nice, and efficient in checking in us. I had the Daddy O burger, so meaty and sloppy good.
