The White Dotte is a strange mix. I had eaten there once before. This time, I was on my way back from my brother’s and stopped in for a quick bite. This place is the definition of that. Burgers, hotdogs, cheesesteaks and custard— All done really well. I remember their fries being the tits, but unfortunately I was two dollars short for fries. I just got a cheesesteak hoagie. That’s my go-to sandwich. White Dotte did it right! Yummy tomatoes, fresh lettuce, quality meat and spices— Pure yumminess.
You stand up to order your food, then you sit at a booth and they bring it to you. It makes me torn about the tipping situation. Do I tip the server? I mean, I had to stand up to order. Should I just go and eat in my car? I kinda regretted sitting inside, but it was raining.
The downside is, they have a porta-potty out back, which I had to use. The server told me it had a sink. It did, but it didn’t work. After I soaped my hands, I had nothing to wash them with. I ended up wiping my hands on napkins. When I got back to my seat, the server was throwing away my iced tea. I stopped him. It was weird. I had literally just ordered and asked him where the bathroom was. Guess he was out of it. I finished my soapy tasting cheesesteak. He offered me hand sanitizer, but that would’ve made my hands smell even worse. A weird day.
That’s not even the weirdest part about the White Dotte. It shares its space with a small electronics store. I have no idea why and that part was closed. Plus it was Sunday and no one working there looked over 20. Still, awesome sandwich. Would go again, with clean hands.
I give the White Dotte 7 out of 10 keggers. Worth a stop.
