From the site: “In 1969, Jeff Stanley opened an eclectic gift shop in Des Moines, Iowa. He called it Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry. After only a few years in operation his interest turned from jewelry and clothing to hamburgers. In 1975 Stanley moved to Madison and open the first Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry”….and the rest is history!
From WiLS Staff (Stef): Can’t beat Dotty’s for burgers, fries, and shakes. They have unique and delicious combinations of toppings (My fav is the “alumni” -- cheddar and their own homemade steak sauce) and veggie, chicken, and turkey burgers for the non-beef eaters.
