We love going to Dot's Cafe. The food is always good. My wife loves the tomato soup and the burgers and sandwiches are great. I had the catfish Po'Boy on our last visit and it was perfect. The atmosphere is pure Portland and the beer and cocktail is worth the visit on its own.
Love the regular crowd and fantastic service. Not trendy, and not pretentious. Great prices.

Just visited for the first time. Had the holiday drink week special which was very tasty, their signature burger was very solid, and the jalapeno bacon cheese fries were great. Dig the funky decor and they were playing classic punk tracks, which are all things I approve of. Will come back for sure
After watching The Menu, was really craving a hamburger. The Dot’s Burger hit the spot!
Fries could’ve used a little more salt but were just the perfect accompaniment to the burger. I hear the cubano is a must try here.
Overall great dive bar spot to grab drinks and/or dinner. It’s right along a bike path so it’s a great place to stop by in the Clinton neighborhood for a quick bite or drink on your bike commute.
They have daily specials (e.g. $6 slushies on Tuesdays)
A great spot to stop for a quick brunch and a brew on a Sunday bike ride. My friend and I rode over from the Sellwood area and made it here via the Springwater corridor trail for most of the way. The food was great, wonderful wait staff and a nice chill vibe. I had the pilsner and Grandpa's Sandwich. I totally recommend this place.
I was trying to meet a friend at Reel M Inn on division, but it was closed. My friend Jackie suggested that we head over to Dots in the Clinton neighborhood, so that’s what we did. Due to Covid, they had a window to order food and drinks, and plenty of heated, outside seating. They have a good section of beers, and cocktails etc. menu sounded good as well, but we didn’t eat. I’d definitely suggest this place for anyone looking for a mellow neighborhood bar in the Clinton area.
A bar who's interior has apparently remained the same for many, many years, even when ownership was changed. A large, relatively dark space adourned with velvet pictures & plenty of booth style seating.
A decent happy hour menu & really good food & drink specials. We ordered the rum tango punch slushie, an Earl Grey cocktail (forgot name but on specials menu), fish & chips, grilled cheese (that comes with tomato & basil soup), & hush puppies; all on the happy hour menu & super tasty.
Dots is always a great time. The staff is always cool and welcoming. The food is excellent and the slushies are what keeps me coming back.
i loveee dots ive been going here since i was like 5. its perfect if u like chill diner vibes but arent a boomer weirdo. and the bartenders r cuteee <3
Favorite brunch spot in the entire world! We’ve been coming for over 4 years and even though some things have changed because of the pandemic, it is still a genuinely amazing place. The staff is the best and the food is always delicious!
We go here often and there’s never been more than a 5m wait at most. Sitting by one of the few spots with light coming in as most of the windows are blocked to be a nighttime bar. We’ve had great service recently but in the past, that was one of the few bad parts about this place.
Loved this breakfast! Serving breakfast until one on Saturday, this quirky little place is an odds-on new favorite of mine...
