If you're in the mood for a good hot dog, this place is one of my faves. It's a local favorite and they serve a variety of burgers as well. I'm a cheese addict, so I usually get the Cheese hound with extra cheese as shown in the pic. I've included a bottle of tapatio and a portable hand sanitizer bottle for size comparison. They also have fries, garlic fries, and tater tots for sides. The physical size of the restaurant is somewhat small, but there is adequate outdoor seating.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Friendly and efficient service, tasty food with big portions. OTHER THUMBS UP: - Grilled onions, tomatoes, and lettuce included with no upcharge - Indoor and outdoor seating available - Small but free parking lot - Onion rings are great; really crispy, perfect amount of breading, not greasy - Multiple condiments at table, including ketchup (of course) but also hot sauce - Can specify how you want your burger cooked - No bogus "healthy worker surcharge" like many other places are charging nowadays MEH: - Found out about the burger-cooking-level after I ordered; would be nice to have them ask "How would you like your burger cooked?" - Burger felt a bit bland / underseasoned; could have at least used a bit more 'happy sauce' or whatnot - Maybe a slightly bigger bun would be good, too.

This is a straight up and down, hot dog stand. Delicious dogs, and really great service. I had the kraut dog with mustard. Absolutely phenomenal. My lady had a chili dog. Also excellent. Don't go in expecting an "interpretation of the history of hotdogs through flavored foam" type of place. You go in, order your dogs from the sweet people working there, sit down and eat. That's it. That's the review. Great little spot. Definitely visit.
