Someone said in the reviews that this was "one" of the best hot dogs they've had in a while. They are lying. This is THE best hot dog they have ever had! Name a better one, I'll wait ...... We got a few hot dogs with mustard, chili, slaw, ketchup and onion. They were loaded . The person I was with said, "what is making these so good"? I said, I don't know, I've tried the chili and the slaw separately and I don't know where this taste is coming from. Do you fry your hot dogs in butter? They were so buttery and so good the only thing that might have made them better is if the inside of the bun had been toasted on the grill first, only because it was all very soft and got slightly soggy cuz we didn't eat them right away. I don't even eat hot dogs normally!!! Literally the best Carolina dog I

What a gem! Love the low prices & delicious food! Must have the chicken salad, cheeseburgers, or BLT! 2 kinds of potato salad offered: southern or loaded with bacon, 2 kinds of slaw: white or red. We also took home some homemade banana pudding that was to die for! Barbara checked in on us several times & food comes out fast. Picnic tables out front for outside dining or dine inside. BBQ & hot dogs also offered. Small menu but something for everyone. Must try!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The girl who took care of us was amazing — so polite, attentive, and great at her job! Our food came out so good as well. We got double cheeseburgers with fries and sweet tea, and everything was so yummy. No complaints at all! We’ll definitely be back!!

Love Love Love Dots! Went for lunch and had THE BEST cheeseburger in Southport. It was cooked just right, nice size, juicy burger with fresh veggies on top. Had the loaded Baked Potato Salad as my side and it was delicious. Will definitely go back with friends to enjoy another amazing lunch at Dots.

This place was so good! Affordable and delicious. We were craving hot dogs and hamburgers and they had delicious Nathan’s hot dogs and hamburger. I’m gluten free and got my hot dogs all the way (chili, mustard, o ions) no bun and it was so good. All together we got gluten free hot dog, potato salad, red slaw, white slaw, French fries and a hamburger all the way. Didn’t get pics of it all but Everything was good.
