Zach WillettApril 23, 2014Amazing! If it's your first time definitely go with the chef's choice of toppings. The étouffée fries are a meal by themselves. The homemade ginger ale is perfect. Place gets a 10/10 in my opinion.Upvote5Downvote
Had a delicious Guinness dog. Make sure to get the chef's special and have them dress it. Wish I had the stomach space to try every hot dog on the menu

Daniel GraysonAugust 1, 2015Even to this carnivore, the vegan apple sage sausage is delicious. And thr guiness dog is great, too. Trust the staff on how to dress it up.

Brad GrahamNovember 23, 2013(2/2) All the hot dogs your heart could desire and occupies a totally refashioned former gas station. Steamed German wieners and sausages on slightly sweet sourdough that are steamed and then toasted.UpvoteDownvote- Manny FerroJanuary 30, 2016The Guinness dog is the best dog- or order whatever and have the chef dress it for you. Just don't skip out on the cheddar bacon ranch fries!!UpvoteDownvote
O.Shane BallounApril 27, 2012If you forget to tell the person at the register your name, you can just go up to the delivery-people and give them a name (and describe your order). This will make it easier for them and faster.UpvoteDownvote

Jeremy WallaceMay 22, 2017Woah, this place is awesome! I was worried to order the Chef Special but damn am I glad I trusted them! Best hotdog ever 💯UpvoteDownvote
Everything is good! Ask the guys behind the counter for their reccomendations. You won't be dissapointed! Cheese fries are legit! Pair w/ an ice cold High Life: The champagne of beers!Upvote2Downvote
Eric NealMarch 4, 2014Cash only, they have an ATM but I'd bring some cash if you can, why waste $2.50 just to get cash? Every dog is amazing and they all run about $7.50 regardless of toppingsUpvoteDownvote
LauraMarch 17, 2013Brand new place. Nice open, informal atmosphere. I like music and the vibe. We will see how the veggie dog tastes. Stay tuned...UpvoteDownvote
