My wife's family is from Rochester, NY and they make a "hot sauce" which seemed similar to this. To me it tasted like watered down ground beef/"hot sauce", lacking the spices I'm used to. The hot dogs didn't seem to be anything special. The fries were crispy and delicious while the vanilla coke was apparently the highlight of the meal. If you enjoy hot dogs or have picky kids, this would be a good spot for you.

Sandwhiches BEAT the nearby chains everyday.....SHOP LOCAL!!!! Other notes: Still better for takeout vs dine in as there is just one community table with folding chairs.

Cute little hot dog stand not terribly far from Horseshoe Curve. I have known about this place for…read moreyears, but it took me a long time to get out here. Now I understand the hype. The hot dogs are delicious. Like John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane" delicious. I ate two of these and wanted more. The chili is something of a secret recipe, and I can see why. It has just enough heat to make it more than just a sauce, but it can be eaten with just about anything and it will taste perfect. It is downright righteous and hits all the right principles. There is also ample parking outside, so you never have to worry about finding somewhere to leave the car. All in all, this is a simple restaurant with simple people making simple food. Simple as that.

They also have tea and beans to purchase, as well as some other items. They even have a cooler with some fun things to take home. At first we thought it was just a typical coffee spot, but the menu proved us wrong. They do have typical coffee menu with some delicious coffee! But they also have an AM and an PM menu with some super creative options for food. We actually were in town for 2 nights and went both days! The baked goods are drool worthy! You will want one of everything. We tired the lavender blueberry scone. I don't like scones. I always think they are way too dry. These things are not! They are massive and full of flavor. Super tender too. We also got the coffee cake. This was just okay. I would opt for something else unless you ask if it was made that day. Just meh. It was a huge piece though! Super nice staff and very efficient. You can tell they make their food as it is delicious. This isn't a heat it up kind of place. They are cooking. Their baked goods are absolutely amazing! The portions are monster sized. You will need a to go box. We ordered coffees - delicious. Grab some beans to go! Then, we ordered a smoked salmon bagel with capers, pickled red onions, and flavored cream cheese. This was absolutely delicious and HUGE!!! Tons of salmon, the flavors were terrific! Also ordered the pork belly Benedict and it was just as good. This is served on two homemade lard biscuits. Like seriously??? Absolutely delicious! Can't recommend both of these things enough. We were going to come for dinner, but didn't realize they were closed. Apparently they have an incredible fish and chips that's to die for. This place is awesome!!!! Prices are reasonable too!

After spending an afternoon at the discovery Museum, a few blocks away, we popped in for lunch…read more It's a quaint little corner store, right next to the Maryland theater. The venue can be overwhelming, with lots of choices. One section of the menu was dedicated to hotdogs, one section is dedicated to non-hotdog entrées, and also Appetizers, desserts, and drinks. The dogs here are amazing! I loved the Chicago dog, but when I had my a bite of the Big Mac dog I wished I got that one too.Then we had the pastrami dog making it a three dog night. The fries are also especially delicious because they are crunchy and battered. My little one had a kids meal that came with fries and he was forced to share. With any hotdog, you get your choice of beef,/chicken, or veggie. We went beef all the way, and it was a great choice. The dogs are split and grilled on a flat top, and maintain all of their juicy goodness. And the toppings just enhanced everything. If you're a hotdog purist, ketchup and relish or mustard and onions would also make for perfect dogs. The staff was friendly and super accommodating to a feral toddler. For three hotdogs, a kids meal, I need rings, and drinks, the $40 price felt like a bargain. Great quality and value.

Ok so we went there on Saturday over the past weekend. It was about 5:30. I got a Chicago dog,…read morewhich was excellent, the all beef. Husband got the foot long coney dog and my son got a sausage with some kind of sauce on it. I eat about 2 hot dogs a year so when I say it was delicious, I mean it. Now the bad. My 4 year old grandson got grilled cheese. It took forever for the food to come out. Like forever forever. He ate like nothing bc he drank his whole drink while we were waiting as we had been at the park for a couple of hours beforehand. I know, not unusual for a little guy. That's not the real problem. I got a side of onion rings and it was almost $5 for like 6 onion rings. Ketchup in little packets... not cost efficient and annoying for us. Had to track down waitress to get husband a second beer and me a first. There was no air conditioning and it was so hot in there!! AND THE WORST THING OF ALL... WHEN THE BILL CAME THERE WAS A 20% INCLUDED GRATUITY FOR "LARGE PARTY", which was not discussed. First of all, it was 4 ppl. That is not a large party. Second of all, this was not mentioned by staff. I see this sometimes with a group of 8 or more and it is usually noted in a menu somewhere or mentioned. But 4 people is not a large party. My husband and I both worked in the restsurant industry in our younger years. We get it, servers need to be taken care of, but come on. BEWARE. I would have gone back for that hot dog even with the sloooowww service and just not gotten a side, but that automatic gratuity thing is ridiculous. Customer lost.

She was great. We started out with the beef quesadilla as appetizer. The strawberry salad with chicken was delicious. The guys had Michael's lunch and loved it.

They do a great job here! Service was friendly and welcoming from the get-go. They have a flat-top griddle that they use to cook their build-your-own hotdogs. You customize your order on a little index card (like the ones they do for burgers) with condiments, toppings, and other goodies. It's nothing crazy complicated, but it was still very tasty and well cooked. The drinks are in the lines of a dive bar, but kind of modernized/elevated. They infuse some of their own mixes that they use for custom drinks, which I think is cool. The decor feels very homage-y to dive bars with lots of signs and stickers with sarcastic/vulgar humor. They also have a small arcade and billiards table in the back. Overall, it's a very cool spot with a friendly atmosphere. You should totally check it out if you're in the area.
