I had seen Dots Back inn on the food channel and had decided to give it a try. I also read the reviews here before going. I decided to hopefully time my visit right to avoid the ""smoky"" atmosphere other reviewers complained about and I did get lucky. If you make a visit between the lunch and dinner crowds when there are very few people there its not bad at all. There were no smoke problems and the service was quick. Its a small place so even a few smokers in one area can make the entire place smell even with the fans going but luckily we were only one of two couples there and no one was smoking but a few of the actual wait staff and they were smoking right at the front door. I realized this isnt a 5 star restraunt but a little courtesy would go a long way. as for the food it was good.\r
The chips and salsa were great, tasted like they made the salsa homemade, it had a great taste that wasnt to spicy, that meant you could really taste the tomatoe and garlic in it, I loved it. We ordered the fresh catch of the day which was catfish. I ordered it blackened as a sandwich. the tartar sauce they use is great. the blackening seasoning was very salty so if you dont like heavy salt flavorings have your food grilled instead. I will opt for that next time, and yes I would go again. but like i said, time it right for a more enjoyable meal.
Pros: great food
Cons: smoky atmosphere
