Dorthy's Famous Food - Ridgely

Expensive dive. When they hand you a canned coke with a cup of ice turn back now. Place was extremely warm and uncomfortable. The window air conditioner was not cooling properly. It was in the high 80s to 90 in there. Place is run down and appears they are trying to run it cheap as possible. Dorothy is very nice. She is the waitress, the cook, the door greeter, the phone operator, cashier all while she cooks. We were the only ones ordering and eating and 20 mins in she confirmed our order to get started. Food delivered at 50 minute mark. No menus, a board on the wall with no prices. No descriptions of the foods with different names. I asked the prices of our entrees 9.99 each, coffee 1.79, 1 can coke? I asked did hash browns come with my omelette? She said I can give you hash browns. So roughly a $22 dollar meal was $32 plus tip. The coke or hash browns were expensive! I don’t know because there was no prices and no menu! The food was just ok. Eatable. The hash browns were freshly grated, hard and chewy tasted like plastic. She came out talking to others while holding the raw potatoes she was cutting. The omelette had a inch thick of cheese and barely any sausage. My coke had.already melted down in the heat and was water logged. Her husband in a tank top was pulling double duty as well, running to the store, sitting with friends, answering phone, picking his teeth with a toothpick and tended to our food as well and delivering it all to our table while never washing his hands. Dorothy did wash her hands each time she did something else. A customer who also had already eaten was allowed to freely use the ice machine putting his hands in it. The place gave off a nasty vibe. The sugar on our table was big round rocks in the sugar holder lol.I’ll try to load the picture. It says famous for breakfast but I’m not sure it means famous for good food because it was not. Beware.

Mrs. Dorothy is a great lady and wonderful cook. Recently got an evening order to go and it was delicious always welcome with a smile .

Great service ! Good food! Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $1–10

The burger was good, the sweet tea was not good at all. I was not impressed. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $1–10

I always have a great time whenever I call in or place an order for my friends in the state. The atmosphere is friendly, and we love to gossip while enjoying our meals. My favorite dish is Dorothy's famous chuckwagon steak with fries, along with her delightful baked goods and more. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere as a solid 3 out of 5.
