Dottie's

.....CLOSED......It was sad to learn that Dottie's is now closed.  Just a great restaurant with nothing really comparable in the area.  Located in a hundred year old building, surrounded by quaint little shops, this restaurant offered unbelievably high quality food in this small mountain community.  Upscale food in a casual setting, with a beautiful historic interior, a great combination.

Service was always perfect, along with their great homemade meals.  The town definitely will feel the loss. This was the same location as "Madonna's", another excellent restaurant that closed several years ago in the historic downtown area.  

Hopefully the owners with their ability to offer such great food and service will be able to open another restaurant in the future within a close proximity to Colfax.

It will be interesting to see what the next reincarnation will be for this historic building.  Dottie's will be a tough act to follow.

This post is long overdue . . . We dined at Dottie's on Railroad Days and a few weeks before that.  Our first encounter with Dottie's was all good, with our daughter tackling, but not fully consuming, The Epic.  That is one mean burger, and very yummy!  Garlic fries are some of the best ever!  We ate to music by Erin and The Project.  On Railroad Days I had the Meatloaf Sandwich, Local Style.  A slice of meatloaf (already wrapped in bacon), rolled in bread crumbs, fried to toast the crumbs, then served with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches for the buns.  Excellent!  And the best garlic fries.  We look forward to visiting again soon.

Best burger and fries I've ever had. Service was great and price was reasonable. It's not right off the freeway so it may be a little hard to find. Don't give up.
