“A pleasantly greasy history”
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 opened the first Dotty Dumpling's Dowry located on Monroe St. It was this location he would jokingly refer to as the burger hut because it housed only a grill, counter top, and ten stools. In 2003 Dotty's found a new home at 317 N. Frances St. This is where we reside today.
