Located just inside one of the "side" entrances to The Factory, Daddy's Dogs was a great place to grab lunch today. It provided a cool and refreshing place to have lunch inside on an extremely sweltering day outside.
Ordering from their relatively limited menu was easy and convenient. Seating, on the other hand was - well, not problematic, but very limited because there are only about eight seats at the service counter. Fortunately, most of the seats were empty.
Some of the dogs are the menu have a creative flare, and some are relatively traditional, such as the Chicago dog. The Chicago dog, my wife's favorite of any hotdog joint did not quite live up to her standards, but was still good. It combined a large beef hotdog covered with the traditional CD condiments, served on a slightly toasted bun. (Alas, not poppyseed).
I chose the new "Hot Daddy"... another one of their long (perhaps 8 inches) all beef dogs served on a lightly toasted bun. This dog was topped with a tangy slice of dill pickle, housemates slaw, and then drizzled with a version of Nashville hot sauce, and ranch dressing. It turned out to be a delicious combination. The Nashville hot was not too hot, and provided a nice contrast with the creamy slaw and ranch dressing. I will come back in a flash for another one.
Did not try any of the few sides they serve but observed other diners doing so and the Tots look just great.
FYI ... generous portions all around! read more
