Dotty Dumpling's Dowry

Busy downtown staple with excellent food and service. As reliable as you can get downtown.

Been a few years since the last time I was here, which was pretty good. Definitely not the case today! Was told be about 20 minute wait, no problem. Was sat in that time frame. Drinks were ordered within 5 minutes, 10 minutes later 1 drink was brought, another almost 10 minutes the others were brought. Not sure why one came first, a root beer, coke, water and kids milk. Order was placed, the waitress seemed a tad confused when my wife asked for her burger on a bed of greens instead of a bun, then showed her on the menu. She also ordered jambalaya. 25 minutes passed, I was just about to ask for the soup but it came with our meal, she would've liked it before the rest of the meal so that was odd. 3 burgers, all were well done and dry. The waitress had asked if medium with some pink was ok, which we all said yes. I had a few bites and it was almost tasteless and not juciy whatsoever. I said something when our waitress came back, I would've liked a new one but she just said she'll let the kitchen know, came back a bit later and was offered a free dessert. Overall, it was a big let down that I was looking forward to as we don't get to Madison often. Dry, overcooked, and no seasoning. Bummer. Idk if ill be back. :(

Dottys does not disappoint! Came out from San Diego in Wisconsin School of Business tour and dropped in based on friends recommendation. Burgers, fries and cold beers that are all the rage!
