Dots Back Inn

Had only come here to have the black bean corn cakes over the years once in a while which are great. Finally got a little crazy and tried something new, the oyster po boy. This sandwich was as good as any po boy I've had in New Orleans! Was pleasantly surprised, the tots were perfectly crispy too and washed it down with a tasty root beer. Friend I came with got a burger which looked delicious and cooked medium rare so I was a bit jealous even though my sandwich was great. Will have to come back for a burger next time. Server was friendly and food came out fast!

My son and I stopped by Dot's as I was visiting this particular part of Richmond and this was the closest restaurant to me. I had no idea Dot's was featured on the food network a while back but was pleasantly surprised. This locale has an interesting story and I encourage anyone visiting to read up on it before or while dining. Loved the older WW2 era photos! Our waitress (Danielle) was very pleasant. As this was my first time here, I asked her for a burger recommendation (they all sounded good). She suggested the Ultimate burger while my son got The Club. The food took about 15-20 minutes as there were several seated customers ahead of us. When the food arrived, the burger looked good but the fries (potato chunks) were overcooked. The burger (smash burger, yum,) was good, cooked as I asked. My son's club look really good to which commented after eating all of it that it had a good flavor. I mentioned to our waitress about the fries to which she apologized, stating she would notify the kitchen All in all, I feel like Dot's is a five-star location because of the history and TV publicity but I was disappointed by the fries (potato chunks). The kitchen allowing that food to be served to a customer was concerning. Considering how everything else was good, I will definitely return another and recommend to friends.

Excellent comfort food in Richmond. Burgers, sandwiches, salads and soups. The specials menu is seasonal. Appetizers if you just want a bite and a drink. I had the blue cheese burger cooked to order. My friend had the chicken MacArther which was chicken strips, artichokes, onions, and feta cheese over pasta which was superb. There was way too much to eat in one sitting but we took it home for another meal. The staff was attentive and friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Been dying to try this place and it was so worth it! Went for brunch and got the Oysters Benny and greek pizza appetizer on pita bread. Place was packed and vibrant atmosphere! Can't wait to go back!
