Fantastic food. Get a bunch of things and share with some pals. Some of the best fries I've ever had. Professional and confident service. Busy! Thank you!

Great vibe, great food! Is there anything better? The burger was superb and the fries were equally as good with a hint of malt vinegar. The pickerel was also reported by my husband to be delish! Awesome gem that is clearly loved by the locals in the neighbourhood.

Loved this place! Will definitely go again. The staff was so kind, vibes were great. Recommend the burger, chickwn sandwich, caesar salad, and fries! Also their ginger beer is delicious!

Came by for dinner on a Friday night around 8pm. We waiting roughly 35 minutes for a table of 2.

I’ve heard their burgers get recommended a lot so we tried that, the NY steak and the fries.

Burger was delicious and definitely up there in ranking within the city. It was juicy and a nice change from the smash craze. It felt a bit small for the price but the quality is up there.

The steak had a nice outer crust, it was cooked a bit pass the medium rare we requested but was alright.

The fries were ok, there was some hype online but they seemed regular to me.

The server recommended a lemon dessert as they ran out of the original dessert we wanted, it was decent as well.

The restaurant had a cute small vibe with a wall of drawings from kids etc.

The food was wonderful. Paige’s service was excellent. Love that it’s walk-ins only; took under 20 minutes for a party of 3. Will be back to try more of the menu.

Came in Saturday evening, seeing they were full 30 minutes after opening is a good sign. Had to be put on a waitlist, which was well worth it. The Steak and Caesar Salad stole the show for me. As for the fries they are okay, the mayo it came with is delicious. The boiled eggs were jammy and Dijon sauce were tasty. Overall I definitely be coming back to try the burger and soft serve.

Had a great experience. Everything we ate was super tasty. Chef’s choices, all impeccably executed. Certainly the best Caesar salad in the city and tonight’s Pickerel was perfection. The entire vibe combined creates an unquestionable great night out.

The food was amazing! The menu is quite small, which makes it easy to order. They also have rotating specials that keep things fresh and interesting. Their ice cream is a real treat—I tried the mango flavor, and it didn’t disappoint.

My only complaint is that we were seated inside and the AC was off. It got pretty warm with so many people around.

Dotty’s is the perfect neighborhood comfort diner - Aside from serving the best French fries I’ve ever had, the service is top-notch and friendly, the bustling atmosphere is welcoming and all of the food is perfectly prepared.

It’s elevated comfort/diner food that will just make you feel happy and glad you came in. The fries are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Caesar salad is stacked high and adorned with a perfect dressing, crispy croutons and a ton of salty cheese. The steak is simply seasoned and seared perfectly. The spicy chicken sandwich is like a blue plate special on steroids with a mild kick of heat and heaps of flavour.

On our first visit we had the fish dish and cheeseburger - these represent the two extremes of what you can expect at Dotty’s: the fish is perfectly cooked and accompanied by an elegant sauce and served with inventive ways of preparing vegetables while the cheeseburger is about as simple as it gets yet there’s a sauce or condiment that makes it stand out amongst the sea of burgers out there.

No matter what you order, you will get the best at Dotty’s

Everything was really flavourful, steak had a pretty good cook but was the only thing that wasn’t great. Had a tuna tonnato dish (not pictured) that was the standouts along with the cooked fish main.

The spritz Ginny was had a strong grapefruit element

I’ve been here four (actually many more) times, and loved it each time. Dotty’s is consistently good. A beautiful simple no-nonsense meal with quality ingredients and prepared with care. Prices are very fair and service is wonderful! A great neighbourhood gem. Highly recommend the squid, so good I ordered two! The aged steak is always so perfectly cooked and full of flavour, pickerel beautiful, Thai pork belly was meltingly sticky and tender, new wedge salad gorgeous! Run, don’t walk to Dotty’s… go early if you want a table! And I forgot, the soft serve is a must order if you have room, big enough for sharing and a deal at $10. Thank you Dotty’s for another wonderful evening!
Update: four months later and we’ve been coming back with family and friends. Menu sometimes changes slightly but always consistent and deliciously good. Came to try the cheeseburger but didn’t get a photo as we all inhaled it. It’s incredible! Juicy, tender, full of flavour. We love Dotty’s! Thank you chef Jay and team!
Updated June 13/24: Always fun spurr-of-the-moment place for dinner. Always nice to be greeted by same staff and owners. Our family’s favourite because it feels like home, and food again just simple but good! Fish always amazing with veg, thanks again Jay and team for a fun evening.
Updated July 9/24: delicious pickerel with fennel, dessert is mango softserve with raspberry sauce, and light-as-air, no-bake cheesecake with blueberry sauce. Omg soooo good! Thanks again for a wonderful dinner!

I love this place. The menu is simple but delicious. We always order the Caesar salad, which is perfectly made. The cocktail menu is good and very well presented. I’ve tried the burger, which is excellent, and the chicken sandwich, which I also highly recommend. The service is efficient and friendly. While the prices aren’t cheap, I think they’re reasonable for the quality they offer. The portions are a bit on the smaller side, though. Overall, Dotty’s is definitely a great spot to eat in Toronto.
