    Alright let's get into it shall we? this is a very nice little place right in the down town area of Mt pleasant. This little place has amazing dogs, they use Dearborn brand with natural casing, they had the perfect snap and were juicy along with many topping options. The Dc cheese curds were hand cut and beer battered, also amazing. Fries beer battered fresh fast and affordable! A family size tray is $7.45 if my memory serves correctly. My Daughter (who has barely ever done food challenges) got the DC challenge. Three 1ft long coney dogs with your choice of toppings on a bed of fries and topped with a volcano of onion rings, this challenge was covered by man vs. food a time back, neither my daughter nor him could finish but they both got close, my daughter was 2 dogs down and half the fries and man Vs. food (Casie) had a handful of fries left. Service was fast and very friendly (shocked at my daughter's appetite as well) you can tell that their personalities come alive at night. Bathrooms were spotless, smelled good and even had flowers! Also i would like to add they save alcoholic beverages as well so you can have a beer or mixed drink with your meal.

    Oh, dog central your fries were absolutely delicious but your dogs were average!! A ton of options to add to your hot dog but what good is that when the hot dog doesn't stand out. Ordered the popper dog and the toppings were pretty decent but the hot dog itself was cold and bland. I was quite dissatisfied to say the least. Service was poor. One of our orders was forgotten about and we weren't greeted at the register!

    I didn't get a picture of my food. Sorry, but here's the front of the building.

    Hi normally take a picture but I was too busy. Grubbing down on that delicious hot dog. So many delicious dogs to choose from. But I chose the loaded dog. Hot dog has a great Snap to it. That everybody loves, and the hot dog was super delicious. Everything on it was good. Nice, nice, cute. Decor very friendly staff. I'll be back for the elote dog next time

    When you come to Michigan you have to have a hot dog! This is a great place! I love a natural casing hot dog!

    Damn, that's a snappy dog! Went back again on a stay over in Mt. P. Did not disappoint with the pure deliciousness.

    The location is amazing, the atmosphere is perfect for hot dogs and beer. I'm not sure what I expected going in, but I did expect to walk away finishing a meal. I went with a friend and neither of us ended up finishing. I ordered the hot dog with Fritos, which I thought came with chili but I seemed to have a gotten a hot dog drowned in nacho cheese. My friend went along about her coleslaw on her hot dog being very sour and ruining the whole entree. The beer battered fries are the best I've had in a long time, which is the only reason they got 2 stars. Maybe I will try again, but highly doubt it. Update: As the owner tried to reply to my review, this is an update as I feel if I order food I expect for it to be given to me. This place not only problem was nacho cheese, it was overall not good to me. It's a plain cheap hot dog, with a variety of toppings to cover it up. That's why this place received 2 stars, awful. If you want to get your food, taste it only to complain to the staff there it's completely your choice, but me personally no I like my food served correct.

    The ultimate lasts night hangout. They have every type of hot dog creation possible. Not ready for the night to end? They have mixed drinks and a variety of bottles. Dog central also carries ice cream. This restaurant reminded me of a fast food restaurant with alcohol available. Dog central is perfect for Mount Pleasant area and those after bar food stops.

    'Ello chaps! Once upon a time, in the land of Mount Pleasant, the end of a long night on the town, enjoying adult beverages with fellow students and friends, ended at the only place open that late. Taco Bell. Boy, has Dog Central filled a void that we never knew we had. There is a huge variety of hot dogs and toppings you can get here and it tastes oh so good after a few drinks. Sober up with some heavy, greasy, hot dogs and onion rings then walk your way home.

    The Detroit Dog and the Chicago Dog are both authentic. They did their research and succeeded!

    Best Detroit style coney I've had outside of the Detroit area. Rivals many of the Detroit area places as well! Fries are really good too!

    Kind of expensive but the dogs are worth it, so many variations and pretty good quality hot dogs. It's close to my office so convenient.

    Honestly this was not a successful trip. I ordered the 20 oz bone in cooked to medium. When…read moreit was delivered it was super rare. I absolutely hate sending food back but this mofo was still alive. Went it came back it was way over cooked. The waitress was stressed and I know she didnt make it. So I sucked it up.. ended up leaving most of it there. I'm not a person of too high expectations but this dining experience was subpar at best.. waitress was still great. But bottom line I payed decent money for meh..

    I usually don't leave reviews, but this visit to Texas Roadhouse deserves one. From the moment we…read moresat down, it felt like the basics weren't being handled. We waited for napkins and silverware, which should be on the table before the food even comes out. When they finally brought them, they were dirty. Nothing ruins the mood faster than realizing you've got to ask for clean utensils in a restaurant that's supposed to pride itself on good service. Then came the steak. I specifically ordered medium well, and what showed up on my plate was... I don't even know what it was supposed to be. It wasn't medium well, and it wasn't close. It's frustrating because this place is supposed to be known for their steaks, yet mine came out cooked completely wrong. I shouldn't have to guess what temperature I got when I ordered clearly. The service overall was just "there." Not rude, but definitely not attentive, and when basic things like clean silverware and properly cooked food aren't happening, it doesn't leave a good impression. For the money, I expected way more consistency and care. Honestly, it felt like nobody was paying attention to detail. I left more annoyed than satisfied, and that's not how dining out should feel.
