HARSH BUT HONEST REVIEW: Stopped at Dorothy Mae’s for the first time. I’m eating vegetarian 🥗 for a few weeks, so it was easy to decide what to get. Veggie Plate THEEE SIDES. 😃 ($9.99 before tax) I am not a BIG EATER at all so I thought “3 sides” would at least be a light lunch… however the portions FAR TOO SMALL. I included a pic of the fork to better show the size of the bowl, AND as you can see that small bowl isn’t very full either. At least fill that small bowl to the top, &/or include corn bread! 🔝 🥣 I gave 3-Stars ⭐️ cuz the staff was kind, & the sides weren’t bad, but commo’n guys; my 8 year old girl would’ve finished that & asked for more! 🙄

I was in the area and needed something good to eat — I can’t stomach much fast food, so when Dorothy Mae’s popped up, I knew it was a go. Let me tell you… it was *absolutely amazing!* We didn’t even make it home — we tore it up right in the car. The fried chicken was seasoned to perfection, the greens and mac & cheese were full of flavor — just downright tasty. The service was warm and super helpful with the menu. I live in South Fulton, but trust me, I’ll be back. I grew up in a restaurant my grandma ran for over 30 years, and this food took me right back. I’m from Detroit, and this meal truly melted my heart. It’s real soul food — the kind that feels like home. ❤️

★★★★★ 5.0 The Truth · Dec 2025

The food is great! You must stop by and order anything off of their menu. I cannot complain about their fish and wings! That is mostly what we get from there when we visit. The staff is really nice when we visit and I haven’t had a bad experience. The seating arrangement is different due to the location setup but all you have to do is drive to a nearby park and enjoy your food or eat in your vehicle. If you start eating it in your vehicle, you probably won’t stay driving. Beware! Run to this place don’t walk!

Delicious. Ordered baked wings, mac cheese, collards. Baked wings very good, mac cheese taste homemade good, collards were al dente and full of flavor. I ate in my car, it was that good. I felt so good. The location is good. I think its where Le Cordon bleu culinary school in tucker used to be. It give u a good feeling overall.

Dorothy Mae's is top tier ! I am from NC, so I KNOW good soul food. When I tell you they know what they are doing back in that kitchen, THEY DO ‼️ The customer service was amazing as well. The staff brought a container of fresh outta the grease catfish for us to sample as we waited for our food. It was delicious ! We ordered some of everything on the menu and it was all amazing, cooked to order, and so flavorful. I brought a piece of sweet potato pie back to the hotel for dessert and can't wait to try it. On their web page, it appears they are moving from Boxete to their own spot in Tucker, GA in a few weeks. This gem is terrific and they offer a catering menu as well. The prices are great, too.
