Great staff, we had a blast joking with them. The beef on weck was a little dry but very tasty.
Food was just okay. It was fast and decently priced. The gravy tastes a little off like it was a little burnt and the roast beef wasnt the best quality.
Excellent place to sit back, enjoy a good meal and talk with the natives. Old time atmosphere and cooking right in front of you makes it hard to resist dessert. Great people and good service!
Best beef around. Staff always is always pleasant. Its a small but very cool diner. I highly recommend this establishment. You cant beat their prices.
It was excellent one of the finest carving establishments Ive been to plan on going again
We love the Pok A Dot! Especially their Beef On Weck with Horseradish!
Pretty cool little diner. The two ladies working inside were very friendly and had a great sense of humor. Even if they talk funny 🤪
Great food my favorite is the beef on wick my husband open face sandwich with gravy on fries and onion rings 😋
A must stop when visiting Batavia. The finest Beef on Weck. My favorites are french fried mushrooms and onion rings. Great prices!!
GREAT friendly service. On point beef on weck. Well be back.
Best breakfast sandwiches in Batavia by far. But thats my opinion !!!! and they by far have the best beef on WIC in the area and theyve been there since 1953
The fish was hot but super greasy and upset my stomach. It was that or the tartar sauce or the Mac salad. My Friend enjoyed their roast beef sandwich tho, and said it didnt taste like they remember back in the day. The staff was super friendly!
Best Beef on Weck around. And the staff is always great. Dont forget to add a slice of pie!
I had the beef on weck , fries with gravy and an iced tea. I was in heaven. 60 years of great customer service. You will enjoy their sandwiches.
Dine in or take out this is one of Batavias hidden gems. Casual dining at a reasonable price. Best beef on weck around and if you dont know what that is then you NEED to go because you are obviously visiting and have to have it before you go back home.
Our favorite place for beef on weck, fries & onion rings. Great food & great service!
The most tender and delicious roast beef. Not grizzly and rubbery. Always fresh.
As good as I remember from 36 years ago. Best Beef on Weck
Our first time at the Pok- A-Dot! And definitely won’t be our last. To start with,the two women working on this date… where awesome! They told us a bit about the history of the restaurant and where very pleasant. Now to the food… we ordered the beef on weck,and french fries and gravy… they both where AMAZING!!! We will definitely stop back out there when in the neighborhood! Great job ladies! Hopefully we will get back out there soon.
Fun dining experience with great food. Friendly staff reasonable prices
The its only one place to get good hot dogs in town, and this is the place. Not to forget Beef on Weck
My coworkers said that since I was going to Burger King I should just try this place. Yeah... I threw most of the food right in the trash. Batavia must have a low standard cuz if this was Buffalo they would be out of business. Ive never had a burger I couldnt at least eat. Two stars for being fast at least.
Cant beat the classics! This place has achieved legendary status in Batavia.
Loved my grilled white hot and meat sauce. great fries as well.
Going downhill with all the changes they have made. New people working do it a different way that’s wrong, to most of the regulars. There is this attitude of like hurry up and eat and leave that wasn’t there before. They don’t pay attention to the details of your order anymore like they did when it was less popular. Extra crispy fries? No shot. Well done hotdog ? Nope. They are in too much of a hurry to do it right. Happened enough times the last year to make me write a review.
The building itself made me turn and look at it. Its a small little building with an old school type of feel to it. There isnt much seating inside of the building and they do have some outside seating too. There is an additional room where you can get takeout and eat also.Reading the reviews to this place I thought this is a must try in Batavia. I ended up going into the takeout room since I thought it led to the main building but it didnt. I read a lot of reviews about the Beef on wick for this place and how good it is. Apparently, this sandwich is a western Ny favorite as just about every place Ive eaten at so far in Batavia has its own version. I figured this place must be the best since its been around so long.I also ordered the fried mushrooms. I had a side of ranch and horseradish for my food. After I got my food, the fried mushrooms were nice and crunchy. They were fried well as there wasnt a lot of oil that was sitting in my little dish of them and they didnt taste oily either. My sandwich was decent but not as enjoyable as I was hoping it would be. The top of the roll was a little soggy and salty. Perhaps they dip it into some Au jus but it didnt look like it had been. The salt I would guess is just from the roll itself. The meat wasnt as tender as Id hoped. It didnt have a lot of flavor or seasoning to it unfortunately either. From the picture of it on there restaurant, I was expecting it to be more on the mid-rare/ medium cook. I added my sauce mix of ranch and horseradish together. It helped make it a bit more enjoyable.Overall, I was a little underwhelmed by the sandwich they seem to advertise as there star. I was expecting to enjoy it more but a little dissappointed. I realize its a local favorite spot and has a lot of repeat customers. Just my experience I felt wasnt as good as others. Would I give it another try? Yes, I would. Ill just have to try another option there as I would hope to have a more enjoyable experience next time.
Beef on weck and onion rings were delicious!
Amazing place to eat. Got the roast beef with gravy and pickle chips. They were delicious! My family and I would be definitely be going there again.
What a wonderful place to share lunch with family and friends. We were a group of 10 and they took care of all of us with great care and the roast beef was amazing. Great service great food.
I had never been here before but always wanted to try it, Looks like a cute little diner with a name like the polka dot youd seems like it would be a good experience..So my GF and I went in for a late morning breakfast. It Immediately felt like were unwelcomed outsiders. The staff was busy chatting it up with who I guess were regulars and seemed to be bothered with waiting on us. Our waitress wasnt friendly but The food was good, I have no complaints there. Im just saying if youre looking for that warm, inviting hometown diner atmosphere and service with a smile this probably aint it..
Waitress and cook were both very helpful, friendly and most awesome. Brought our dog and ate on the outside picnic table. Food was good and very reasonable.
U love it there food is so good,😍🤩🥰
One of the few remaining landmarks in Batavia. I have to stop nearly every time Im in the Batavia area for one of their renowned Beef on Weck, best Ive ever had and at a reasonable price. Although this place is small, its BIG on service, highly recommended.
Same old same old! A fun place once in a while for a hot dog or beef on weck.
I had a beef on weck, my wife had a burger. My sandwich was good, but very small for the price. The burger was not good.The service was inattentive and slow.No refills on soda.Probably would not be back.
Been going here for over 20 years. Still hits the spot!
Great food and prices. Very busy. Good service. Not many tables but counter seating. New owner and different seating
I was here for no more than 30min. Had there signature kimmelwick sandwich and an order of fries and a Pepsi. Note a Pepsi, yes no free refills. And its a 16oz ice filled cup. Price came to somewhere around 12 I believe. The sandwich was good(5 and change), no idea on the cost of the fries. Heard a couple people discussing the fact that you are charged for every drink. Must be rent is very high or something, its all cheap food yet almost $15 if I had purchased a 2nd drink for a sandwich and fries..... Oh and thinking I received the bottom of the French frie bag, fries where crinkle cut and maybe the length of 2 dimes side by side. Good food overall though. Service provided by 3 kind ladies.
Good food though it can be a little expensive. Also the fact that refills arent free like every where else these days is a big turn off if you dine in. For God sake soda and coffee costs pennies a glass.
We had a day of golfing at Terry Hills and someone suggested the Pok-A-Dot. I am so glad they did. My friends are big fans of Beef on Wek. They were so happy with their sandwiches they ordered another!. I had hot roast beef and french fries in gravy and it was delicious. Pok-A-Dot is now our go-to place in Batavia
Very Small place but yummy tender beef on weck.
Food was Great we ordered Bugers they were very tasty... Fried Mushrooms were Amazing A must try if you like mushrooms... Service was fast and friendly....
Amazing food at reasonable prices, if you’re ever in Batavia you gotta go to this timeless restaurant
The food was okay. The part that annoyed me was that the regulars got their food before the new comers. We ordered our food waited maybe 30 min and in that 30 min 3 regulars came in after us and got their food before us and left by the time we got our food. The customer service was horrible. The lady who served us went outside for a cigarette and talked to her friends instead of cleaning the tables. She never once asked us if we wanted more coffee or orange juice. The woman cooking was eating the food and drinking and touching everything with the same glove on. We also had to go up and ask for more drinks and we had to go up and get our food. She also set the food on the bar where everyone else was sitting which is nasty as it is. The bathroom was nice though so no complaints on that one. The food was okay but the French toast was dry but the home fries were good. Overall it was an okay experience.
Best beef on weck around !!!!! Just went there today to eat inside for the first time since covid and not happy with the seating inside. Pub tables only two people per two foot square table and had to sit on bar stool with no back. Thank goodness I had my backpack purse because no place to put that because no backs on the stools so had to eat with my purse strapped to my back..ugh. Not a nice place to sit and relax to eat. Not older people friendly or family friendly for dining in. Might have to stick with take out. No more free refills either and not the nice ice mugs anymore. Prices have gone up which is understandable just like every other place. Only gave three stars because of the horrible seating but the beef on week was delicious as always.
Love the people and atmosphere I highly recommend the beef on wick paired with fries and gravy! Also never skip the opportunity of the loganberry beverage
Its possible my wife and I showed up at the wrong time. It was our first time. We ordered a hot dog sausage and fries as well as battered mushrooms. They were out of battered mushrooms. Are meat came but no fries. We waited awhile for the fries. They were very under cooked. Ate 2 and left the plate.
Well, after 55 years of great quick service and friendly atmosphere I often pass through Batavia and stop in knowing Ill get the best, true American food! From breakfast, lunch, and dinner!Thank you Polka-Dot!
The food there is nothing short of AWESOME. I had the beef on wick, and I have had beef on wick alot of places. But the pokadot is in 1st place by alot.2nd place is no where in sight. If you are ever in batavia and looking for a place to eat. Polkadot is the place.
This place is great, whether you’re passing through town or looking for a regular lunch place. Burgers and hot dogs were hot and fresh, drinks were refilled promptly. Staff is sassy, but warm up quickly. I recommend and will return if we are in the area again. If you love America, you’ll love this place!
If immaculate surroundings and fancy decor are most important to you, dont bother to visit. But if you like good, wholesome food youll find it here. It was obvious that many of the diners were long-time patrons which to me is a good recommendation for any establishment.
Excellent service excellent roast beef on weck and would definitely put it on your bucket list to get there if youve never been there before
Great little diner. Reminded me of the old days. Had beef on weck. Was good. Juicy and flavorful. Prices here are great. Friendly staff. Cash only, but keeping costs low is a good thing. Todays special was a double cheeseburger on a hard roll with fries and a drink for only 7.95, see what I mean? lol. Could use some updating but pretty clean.
We have been by this very small restaurant and the other day we had to be in the town for doctor appointment and afterwards we decided to stop and see what they had for food we both got the Beef on wicked it was excellent it melted in your mouth if you want a homemade meal stop by and you will for yourself
Great place for a quick bite. Fast service and low wait for your food. Good fried pickles
The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the waitress was wonderful to us and our little kids.
2021We recently were visiting in Batavia and stopped in. There have been some changes but the Beef on Weck is still great. As we would be on the road going home, my wife inquired about ordering 10 to go the next day but separating the beef and rolls so we could fix them at home. The server was fantastic and told us what we needed to make it happen. The next day, we went in to place and pick up the order. We had a different server who just couldnt get it right and gave my wife a hard time.2108We lived in Batavia for 50 years and for 27 we only lived a quarter of a mile down the road....and we never went to the Pok-A-Dot. Now, every time we come and visit, this is a must stop, at least once. It may not look pretty, but the staff is friendly and the Beef on Weck is outstanding. Try it once and youll be hooked for life.
This is a go to place for my family when in town from Kansas City. It is always our first AND last stop from the airport. Beef on wic is hands down my all time favorite sandwich. Nothing fancy here, friendly service and excellent food.
If you never been here you dont know what your missing.. Definatly a cool place and great food with great prices... Love it!!
Love the food and the atmosphere. Although everyone has a debit card, they only take cash. I would give five stars if there were more payment options aside from cash. I can understand not accepting credit cards due to the transaction fee, but there are no fees with ACH.
Beef on weck, beef on weck, beef on weck...what else can I say this place is amazing. Old school joint making killer beef on wick. Their breakfast looks great and everything we saw being made to order made us want onto try it......... Love the little grill right in front of you at the counter. The servers/cooks/cashiers were fantastic. Just the right amount of spunk that you expect in a neighborhood joint. Locals are lucky to have this gem.
Love this place! Staff is soooo cool. They care about what they serve. I hear the beef on deck is awesome. Although I dont like that.. but I see it ordered often. Definitely my favorite greasy spoon.
Food is fantastic..... cant wait to take my wife there some weekend when we are out and about. Probably the best beef on a wick that I have ever had. We are always looking for small diners and places with that old-time feel
Had the Beef on Weck. The beef was dry and full of rubbery fat. Frozen french fries to boot. Absolutely horrible food. Very dissatisfied considering all the hype on the Beef on Weck.
This place IS one of a kind... You gotta love it JUST for that!However, the virus is making an pact here.. and it is not quite up to its previous fantastic status... After this virus is behind us.. I will look forward to having the ole gal back!
Great place to eat. I have been going there since the early 80s with my grandmother and now 36 years later I take my children when we are in Batavia. They have the best Beef on weck. Gravy for the fries, mm mm mm. I can taste it now!
My new favorite place! I know its dated. I know its not fancy. But sometimes you just want a burger and fries made right in front of you! And it was good! Prices are reasonable.
Update:Everything has changed, and unfortunately, for the worse with these new owners. It has lost ALL of its greasy-spoon charm. You can tell this was a burden to these people, and not a Godsend. The old milk dispenser--gone-- the wired chairs--gone-- and replaced with weird high top tables like this is some high end bistro--Now I could probably overlook all these cosmetic changes, but the food has tragically taken a nose dive to pretty much the inedible...The beef tastes sour, like its rancid, the rolls are smooshed and cheap and the kimmelweck rolls have barely any carraway seeds or course salt. The frozen hamburgers taste freezer burned, same as the fries. The gravy is so bland and watery, it legit just tastes like thickened salt water. And now Joanne Cox is gone? The manager that devoted 37 years to this place??? FIRED..must be another fixture they just HAD to get RID of..Sorry, but if nothing changes, I must say, RIP the Dot...#boycottthedot
The food is always fresh and amazing. If your not from batavia it is a must try if your visiting. Five of us ate for $37 and we were all really full. The portions are on the bigger side. The service is always great. If you eat at the dot the whole experience is awesome and they will never let you down. They only accept cash as payment so make sure you know that or youll end up doing dishes or mopping the floors lol.
Best Beef on Weck ever! Very tender beef & love love the gravy! Been going to this Batavia landmark restaurant for years!
I have been driving by the Pok-A-Dot for months wanting to enjoy one of their famous Beef on Wicks. Finally I had time to stop and not enjoy. What a disappointment! Not only was the customer service absolutely rude, taking the time to clean dishes while I was the only customer in the restaurant waiting to order, but the beef was dry and tasteless. She toasted my bun for seconds only to make a soggy mess to complement the dry beef perfectly. It was labor day so maybe she wanted to be doing something else. But all I know is that when I want a beef on wick in Batavia I also wanted to be doing something else.
I love the dot. Anything and everything Ive ever had here was so tasty. The staff are very friendly and food is good, fast, hot, affordable.
A must stop for me every time Im headed to B-lo and/or home again. Beef on weck w horseradish = yum!!
We love the Pok-A-Dot. They have the best Beef on a Wick roll anywhere around and have had for 61 years. The girls are nice and fun if its not too busy. Grill & fry food.
I had Amber as a waitress and cook and it was amazing food. Everything on the menu Id recommend with her as your server.
We love the staff. Its our favorite place. Food is amazing. Prices are affordable. It will forever be my favorite go to place. Great memories with family. Been our favorite since I first got here almost 2 years ago.
Breakfast and service were okay at best. All empty tables were dirty, yet not overly busy. Watched thin blonde waitress belittle an older obviously regular customer for not having enough cash, then throw her hands in the air when he asked for a cup of ice. Unimpressed and wont be returning.
A quaint, well-established little diner that serves regulars in a smallish city. The Food Is good and quite inexpensive. Theres nothing exotic here, just hots, burgers a quite good roast beef on weck, some pies, inexpensive breakfasts, and just decent food. Oh, and you cant miss it...its polka-dotted!
Roast beef was very good butSmall place with high tables and chairs. Good place for take out
We love the Dot. For me I grew up here. I never eat a cheeseburger anywhere else. I have tried but nothing compares to the chargrill at the Dot. Fries and gravy. The waitresses are GREAT! 🤗🤗
Food was delicious. Service was excellent. We had a very nice waitress to boot. 🥀🐦🌿
This is a hole-in-the-wall kind of joint, but the food was excellent. Be aware its CASH ONLY, though! Known for their Beef on Weck sandwich. Id give the beef a 3/5 myself, but the rest of their food was outstanding.
Great timeless tasting food. Famous for its beef on kimmelweck and pepper& egg sandwiches. Love the food and the staff.
Food was good, but they could improve their staffings attitude and take out packaging.
Every single one of you that gave this a good review is a complete psychopath. This is the filthiest restaurant ive ever seen and its not even a close call. The restaurant opened in the 50s and i dont think the grill has been cleaned since then. Walked to the bathroom and theres was a slab of roast beef in a tray just out in the open with flies everywhere. I watched the waitress grab some raw burger meat with her bare hand and slap it on the grill. Then, same hand, grabbed a bun and put it on the grill. Then, same hand, grab a customers money. No shame in her game. I wat hed some guy lick the spoon in theBowl of community mustard on the counter and then stick the spoon right back in. I kid you not
The pok-a-dot is a historical diner ... A landmark for decades. A warm and friendly atmosphere. The abosolute best food in town...and who doesnt love a frosted mug of their favorite soda. My personal favorite here is the beef on weck...combined with crispy fries and giant onion rings...mmm mmm good. Generation after generation of my family have been dining here and Im sure to continue this tradition with my grandson ...and hopefully many more generations to come.
The Food is always great tasting and reasonably priced. Might not be the best place to eat if your trying to loose weight. Patrons and Staff very friendly, very casual environment.
Great place for a beef on Kimmelweck/ burger/ hot dog. Friendly and great prices. Being in business for over 66 years means they are doing it right.
Great place for a quick but good meal. Fries and gravy are a must here!
Nothing fancy...just simple good eats, friendly service, at a fair price. Thank you Anette and Patti. There are plans to come back!
Excellent beef on wick. Dont like sharing the horseradish with everyone else though. Great service. Great price. The sharing the bowls of horseradish is my only complaint.
You want amazing food, friendly staff, and a place with history. Then stop here. This place was my great grandfather place of choice. My grandfathers place of choice. And my choice for beef on wick and burgers any day
Great red hots with meat sauce mustard and onions. Fries good too. Beef on weck is huge. Huge variety of sandwiches and breakfast menu.
Old school food best beef on wicks you going to get around. you can just be yourself and talk to people and dont have to worry about much of anything.
It is wonderfully colorful places like Pok-A-Dot that make trying a new place fun. As you enter you are faced with a choice, do I sit at a table or the counter. Today the counter is the choice. I quickly order a Beef on Weck sandwich and a soda. The soda is served in a frosted mug while the Beef sandwich is being freshly prepared.The Beef on Weck sandwich is created from roast beef, horseradish, and a very special style Kaiser type bun baked daily. Its the caraway seeds, and pretzel salt baked on the top of the bun and horseradish on top of the beef that make this sandwich so special.I must say without hesitation that this sandwich unique to the Buffalo NY area is a treasure. It is absolutely mouthwatering delicious. A must try.
Service wasnt great and had to send fries back for well done after I originally ordered well done.....but food and prices were very good.
The people that work there are nice . the service was fast the food was good and it was not expensive
Hidden gem in Batavia. Excellence roast beef sandwiches, nice friendly staff a must try if youre a roast beef lover.
Nice quaInt place. The beef on weck was good. Prices are great.
I loved it there its cute and like a little old fashioned they have really good food
Good food friendly staff
Greasy spoon type fair. Guest bathroom is a little scary, but this place is an old fashioned diner. Not a very expansive menu, typical burgers, dogs, eggs, and fried food.
Amazing for breakfast lunch and dinner, always a staple when I am in town. Food is a great price and tastes like home cooking. I will always keep coming back!
This is the small family restaurant I look for when Im in the Batavia area and hungry great diner food a and atmosphere love the roast beef
A true old time American diner greatprices great food and a touch of history
I commute between Eire and Livingston county twice a week and must have past this place over 100 times, so I decided to stop and it was worth it. Great affordable food with great service!
Seriously the best beef on wick and customer service. I highly recommend this place. Have been stopping on my way through town for many years and still to this day.
Local cafe restaurant. Beef (au jus) on weck (simple Kaiser roll, as far as I can tell) was tasty and drippy with horseradish (you smear on) and tomato (I had them add).Place is old and worn out but it has that charm.Counter girls seem to know customers like old friends.
I have been enjoying Pok A Dot food for forty years, and if that alone dosent tell you that the food is great, let me break it down to you like this, at the Pok A Dot they have the best and the greatest beef on wicks ever!
Famous for its Beef on Wick (a western NY thing) it is very good and made to order. Its has been there for several decades and although small in appearance, has good seating and service, with plenty of parking.
Nice little hole in the world style diner with excellent tasting food and wonderful service. Great place to bring the family.
Very poor service every time Ive went in. If you werent a customer that comes in on a daily or weekly basis they treat you like complete garbage. Chicken fingers were under cooked and waitress never came to refill drinks.
Fantastic Food Great Prices Highly Recommend This Place. Not a 5 Star But A Down To Earth Food Place.
The Beef on Kimmelweck was great! Good service and tasty food
Sold as the original Beef on Weck. Disappointing. I had a better Beef on Weck at the Oakfield Inn and they werent even trying.
Very nice place old fashion prices cozy place
We LOVE this place!We eat here every time we travel through!
Iconic little shack by the tracksGrill service by the town trolls but great beef on weck if the rolls are fresh
Best beef and Wick anywhere and for sure the most reasonably priced. The atmosphere is that of the 60s hot dog stand, nostalgic atmosphere.
Been awhile since Ive been there and it never disappoints! Love the renovations too.. Ill always be back👍
Its one of the towns favorite, very cheap but I was not impressed with the steak and eggs, everything else looked good though.
Great place for beef on weck, classic dinner fare in a cozy setting.
We googled for the best beef on weck and your restaurant came up as the best!!! It was my first!! You did not disappoint as it was delicious.
Food was delish. The waitress sorta messed up our order. But I am glad they have reopened.
Excellent waitstaff fast service great food reasonable price
Ok im going with 2 Stars due to the fact that my mom and I went there today for the first time and as I sat there watching them prepare food the lady had used one glove and the other hand was bare she handled money from another customer whats the same glove on and still begin to touch our food with that same dirty glove on how are people allowed to do this in a restaurant like its not right so I highly doubt that they will ever have our service again you know I normally dont do posts like this but that just really got to me
My White Hot, tasted liked so good, it was like having it for the first time
Best food in town..place looks great with all the new covid remodeling, & very clean 👌
Always the best beef on weck in town. Friendly staff and great prices.Flavors of the food are always consistent.
I had their famous roast beef on weck and it was the most tender meat Ive had on a similar sandwich
Gone there many times. First time I didnt get the been on wick. I got the double cheeseburger special, delicious 🤩

Two picnic tables outside.Everyone friendly from employees to other customers .Were from Rochester and love to stop on way to Attica.Good food decent prices.
Cant beat the price... decent food.... fun atmosphere....
Great little place to get a quick bite! The onion rings are delicious!
Every time I come to Western New York from Florida I go to the The Pok-A-Dot for lunch and have the Beef on Wick, its the best. ♥
Just good food and very nice people. Ill be back !
This place will ALWAYS FOREVER be the best place in town! The workers are beyond grateful, caring and make sure you are happy! I love it there 1.1 million stars!👌💕💕
Old time take burger joint, good for eat in, good for take out.
Love this place!!! I used to come here with my parents and sister as a quick stop for lunch. They are really good, and good prices too.
Best Beef on Weck in Western New York
Hot beef and fries with gravy whats awesome and of course the beef on wick was awesome too and one red hot was good
Love the beef on weck
Great roast beef on wick. Roast beef omlets. Friendly workers. Place is well known and very budget friendly
It was decent, friendly staff food was average and just you over all diner! Lost a star due to cash only that was only down side
Excellent beef on a weck. French fries are a little to be desired. Fair prices.
Cheap great quality food. Wonderful workers, very polite. You get more than that you pay for.
Just a cool place to stop and grab a bite to eat. Been there as long as I can remember. Good food
Glad to see they are open again and now offer online ordering and take charge cards!
Heard great things about the place, being a chef myself I expected great things, highly disappointed.
Amazing food, great prices but the best is the ladies at the counter. I stop by everytime Im in Batavia because the food and atmosphere is top notch!
So glad they are open again and have online ordering!! Favorite place to stop on our way to and from Buffalo!!
Very good Beef on Wick, very little change in 50 years. Sat at counter and chatted with locals.
Great beef on weck sandwiches and white hot hot dogs. Love this little place
Great food Lunch time was fast past love the staff
Best beef on wick ever!! If your in Batavia NY this is definitely a good place to eat.
Food was great!
Fun nostalgic stop. Food prepared fresh to order. Worth a stop even from the freeway for an old fashioned sit down diner experience
Good food, good service. Known for theyre beef on weck

Great small town diner. Beef on Weck is the special. Try the Delmonico on a hard roll.
First time there. Not what I expected for a small burger joint.
Love this place best beef on wick
Tried to get something twice since they reopened. Cant deal with the new rudeness. Done with you for now.
Cute, tiny place with good food and great service!
Theres a very affordable menu

Probably the best beef on kimmelwick, ever.
Love the Dot. I dont think there is anyplace like it around, known for beef on a wick roll.
Good food, great prices!!! Great hot peppers and eggs sandwiches.
Food was OK. Place was REALLY cold air-conditioner!
Been going here for years. Spend nearly every morning here. Although many things have changed it will always be the pok-a-dot
Good service, in-spite of one waitress being extremely rude!
The best beef on wick in New York by far. Great place to get breakfast and lunch.
Always passed by... finally stopped... Will be definite destination of goodness in the future when going thru Batavia! Thank you for a culinary delight! 😊
Only place in the whole wide world the get the world famous beef on weck, fries with gravy, and a root beer.
Good food, friendly, full of laughter, felt like being with family. Thanks Batavia Automotive for the great suggestion.

2021-10-02Pok-A-Dot is a classic diner style joint with standard grill sandwich type options with a few unique items such as their beef on a wick. Fried appetizers are pretty standard. Not too many seating options. Says no public restroom, but they have a tiny one they offered us.

2022-03-24My parents always told me it was a good place but I never stopped there even though I pass it everyday. Now that I went a few times recently, I can say it was very good! Its a small place but it has a great atmosphere that kinda takes you back in time. A good good choice of meals. And of course, their beef on wecks are great!

2022-07-03What can you say? Good food! Cheap prices. Always a great place to eat when you are in Batavia. The staff is friendly.Kudos to the young teen who started work today. While his first day, he was keeping up doing everything everyone else was doing, except cooking, which if he stays with it, I am sure that will come in time..

2022-06-15Asked for well done hot dog, well toasted bun and crispy fries. Bun: couldnt tell it was toasted, dog was not well done either. When I informed employee he argued with me that he toasted it. Shame on management for not training staff properly, shame on parents for not training son common courtesy. Didnt bring napkins even when we asked for them. He really acted like he could careless about his job and certainly about the customer and their order. Will not go back and will certainly share my experience with everyone .

2021-07-10First time eating at Pok-A-Dot with the family. I ordered a cheeseburger which was pretty good! Also decent prices! My only complaint is the inside is small, and the bathroom is super tiny.

2022-03-15Best Beef on weck in Western New York. The place is a hole in the wall but excellent grilled and fried foods. Great beef on weck, a WNY specialty. White hots and burgers are excellent. Good breakfast too. New bathroom too! A bit pricey for the location but worth it.
