Coney Island footlong and short mustard and onion
John C.

Fun place. A go to for the locals. Fairly cheap a great atmosphere and good food. Their chili is also really good.

Drive thru option, but just as fast inside.
Kasey C.

Always a welcome stop on way from Tallahassee to Clearwater. Just off US 19, it's a popular spot for traveling folks, and very popular with locals. Every type of hot dog you can dream up including plain to Chicago style. We prefer the chili with onion dog. Inside service is quick and friendly, so take a few minutes to enjoy local sports and car racing decor.

Suppose to be a burger.

I spent $13 for a burger that is so gross. It was fresh meat now it's frozen and doesn't even resembles meat. I got an unsweetened tea and it tastes as if it's a very old batch. Please don't waste your money on this place.

My onion rings - whoops a few a missing!  Too good to wait for picture- quality control! LOL

Very good food! Not a typical fast food place. Food is cooked with order. It's not very fast, but it's fresh.

Coney Island Drive-Inn -- Brooksville This place is an…read moreinstitution, and if you haven't been, you need to go. Established July 7, 1960 -- same location, same World Famous Footlongs, still slinging them out of a kitchen that's clearly been doing this a long, long time. There's even a framed cease-and-desist letter from Subway's lawyers on the wall over the word "Footlong" -- they told 'em no. Fifteen years later, still hanging there, still called a Footlong. We had the Short Reuben Dog and the Long Chicago Dog, plus a side of fried corn and onion rings. April took great care of us -- sweet, and clearly not slowing down with baby #2 on the way. The Chicago Dog alone is worth the trip -- easily twice the size, cheaper, and better than a certain loud-on-social-media hot dog guy's version. Yes, that's a dig, and yes, it's deserved. Fried corn was a fun surprise, onion rings were solid, and honestly -- what's not to love here? One gripe: there's a credit card upcharge that isn't clearly disclosed up front. Worth knowing before you order. Otherwise, this is a bucket-list stop. Wish we lived closer. We'll be back -- someday, somehow.

It's been a while since I visited and last review, so I decided to enjoy a hotdog after a ride on…read moremy friend's horse. I ordered outside and decided to do a footlong Nathan Chicago dog. It was about 7.50 after paying in cash. I waited for a couple minutes, and it my name was called to pick up my order. I ate outside in a small bench. The hotdog was loaded with the toppings like relish, pickles, and peppers. I added mustard and ketchup too. The hotdog was plump, and the toppings were alright. It isn't as good as Portillos, but still decent for the price. It was filling for lunch too. The atmosphere is the same, but the party room in the back is now available in you have an extra air conditioned space to eat. It wasn't that crowded outside, but there were quite a few inside. I guess more people wanted the cooler area as it was a bit hot and humid outside. Parking can sometimes be hard to get in the front, so there is a back area too. There is a small stage for concerts now, but I haven't seen any yet. The mechanical horse still works, but the dino one was out of order, and the dolphin one looks to be gone. Staff is pretty quick and friendly. I am glad I ate here again on Sunday as the food was good and filling. No complaints for 7.50 on a footlong Nathan Chicago dog. Will continue to visit occasionally when I am in Brooksville. Overall: B

My girlfriend and I were in Inverness antiquing and tried Pudgee's on a whim…read more We hadn't heard anything about it and assumed it would be a mom n pop diner environment. Not so! Pudgees is a burger and Hot dog shop par excellence. What a wide assortment of options. From merely big food to titanic portions for the champion eaters out there. We both tried the half pound burger and wow.Tasty- and two hands full. Burgers of this size require grip strength and endurance to keep it from exploding like a deck of cards. My initial bite (a gator sized one) merely grazed the perimeter. I was sent scampering off like a chihuahua tail between my legs whimpering. I regained my pride in time and went back to combat with that beast, the details of which I will spare you. I emerged victorious but both my girlfriend and I agreed we could have shared one. I would like to go back again and again to try their various hot dogs and a pork cutlet sandwich which appears insane. I hope to see you there. Maybe you will be the champion taking on the cutlet sandwich. Oh lord.

Three choices of mustard? Ketchup? All three? Bring it! He also has a homemade sauce but I apparently arrived after his planned closing so he didn't have any more. Next time! He still graciously cranked the grill back on and made us the dogs! They are great! Nice char! Great flavor! Huge snap! We've never had Sahlen's hot dogs before but they originate from Buffalo apparently! I just checked and they are available in Publix as well as mail order or made to order at Thunder Dogs! Don't forget the loganberry drinks! They are tasty and originate in northern New York as well! Life is good with a tasty hot dog.

Joe the owner of this outside HD emprium has over thirty years experience in the food industry, but is a new comer in the hot dog business. Joe serves Sahlens natural casing hot dogs which I had never tried, but they are now on my favorites list. Sahlens are made in Buffalo NY, and Joe also introduced me to another Buffalo favorite, Loganberry drink, a blackberry-raspberry hybred, which I found very refreshing. When your in the Clearwater area stop by say hi to Joe purchase some dogs from him, you'll be glad you did, and tell him the 1999 Nation's hotdog world champion Steve "The Hotdogterminator" sent you.
