Dotty Dumpling's Dowry - Madison

Fun atmosphere and delicious food. Something for everyone. Very kind staff and quick service. My only negative would be the up charge for items like a slice of cheese dollop of sour cream on my chili and the up charge for the small plastic container of garlic dip for fries. Glad we found this place on Trip Advisor. Worth the stop.

Dotty’s was hard to get to because all parking seemed to be used up before this outta towner arrived. But we only had Carryout to pick up, so a quick double park with hazard lights on, was enough for us to get our dinner before getting a ticket. The ambiance inside looked inviting and after enjoying our Carryout back at the hotel, we’d be inclined to go back again and eat there without our friendly canine companion in tow.

Great atmosphere, fast service, and the best burger I've had in Madison thus far. Also loved the fried pickles (and I don't even like pickles). Will definitely return!

This is a great burger place with an old school feel. And institution of Madison. Lots of burgers and beers to choose from. A must when visiting UM in Madison.

I ordered the Original burger for take away, so obviously this is a limited review. But I did want to say that the burger was really good, with a sort of old school, flat-top kind of flavor--something you rarely get with the ubiquitous gourmet burgers so common now. Slightly disappointing was the slaw (which my order-taker recommended). Not a big deal, maybe it was just a subpar batch: but it had absolutely no flavor, taking bland to a new level.
