I can always count on Fancy Franks for a heated post game meal with their lineup of hot dogs and poutines to satisfy whatever I am craving for the day! With many toppings and condiments to customize my hot dogs, burger, and fries, it's no wonder it's recognized city wide for their commitment to providing great hot dogs for great prices! read more

Fancy Franks - The Porker Poutine - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The hot dog was okay, but I imagine it would have been better had it not been delivered. Hot dog was loaded with toppings as requested and packaged very neatly. Issue was it was cold and soggy, but again, would imagine it wouldn't happen had it been eaten on site. The poutine was delicious, good gravy and the fries were perfect. Wish it had more cheese. The chilli fries were also great, wish it had more cheese or chilli sauce. Very tasty nonetheless. read more

Swung by for a late night bite! The restaurant was empty but there were delivery drivers coming in to pick up orders. More geared towards takeout I guess. We ordered the franko y huevos and Coney Island dogs. Took about 10 minute wait till our dogs were ready. The Coney Island dog was a regular hot dog with mustard and onions. The franko y huevos was so spicy! This came with chorizo sausage all cut up already in small pieces (instead of a full long sausage), scrambled eggs, onions and jalapeños. I had to pick out all the jalapeños to eat this lol. Are these fancy hot dogs? Well, the toppings aren't exactly fancy, but they are unique toppings that are outside of your typical ketchup, mustard and relish. I'm not usually a hot dog type of person, but if you are, not a bad place to check out if you're around the area. read more

Fancy Franks - Two hot dogs are presented in separate paper trays on a checkered paper liner. The hot dog on the left has toppings such as relish, chopped onions, and ketchup. The hot dog on the right is topped with chopped onions and a zigzag of yellow mustard. Each hot dog is served with a plastic fork inserted into the toppings. The background shows a wooden surface, indicating a casual dining setting. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Alongside the burger, there is a fried snack, possibly a mozzarella stick or similar, and two small containers of dipping sauces, one red and one yellow.

We needed to stop for a place for lunch after walking all morning around Kensington Market, and this place hit the spot. With Fancy Frank's listed on the top ten poutine spots in Toronto, we had to stop in! We ordered: -the Coney Island hot dog. Being Detroiters, they really understood a Coney! -the Vegetarian hot dog. It comes plain with a Yves vegetarian bratwurst. I added relish, Dijon mustard, and their fancy sauce. The fancy sauce was the PERFECT touch for this hotdog. I'm pretty sure it's mayo based with a slew of spices like minced garlic. The paprika in it made this dog perfect! -the Traditional Poutine. It was the perfect balance of gravy, cheese curds, and house made fries. We loved the fries with the potato skins on. I'm drooling thinking about it now! Our meal was about $20 in total. Only a couple of hotdog and burger add-ons were an up-charge (like cheese), everything was reasonably priced. The menu was simple with a few creative options I hadn't seen before ranging from really American-style poutine to Asian fusion hot dogs. Lot's of customization options. Fancy Frank's hit the spot in taste and price. If you're on the edge of Kensington or the University of Toronto campus, make sure to stop by! read more

Had a craving for a good old hotdog, so Fancy Frank's it was! Decided to try out their version of the Coney Island hot dog (miss these from my time living in Detroit). The chili was flavorful and raw onions cut through the richness of the toppings as it should. Unfortunately the hot dog itself left a lot to be desired. Undercooked for my taste, and a lack of sweet snapback. The chorizo sausage was grilled fine, but was lacking the punch normally associated with it. The Texas hot dog done with sweet BBQ sauce and spicy sauce was bursting with flavor from the toppings but suffered the same limp dog syndrome as the Coney Island. The Nutella and crushed biscotti mini donuts saved the day with a sweet finish. The donuts had a crisp exterior and a pillowy soft inside. read more

I would've given Fancy Franks four stars but I'm removing one whole star because in exchange for leaving a review, FF is offering HALF a doughnut. That's right, HALF. Best not offer anything at that point; the sheer greed is astounding. Other than that "incredible" deal, the restaurant seemed like a nice spot! Clean and spacious, with different special dogs every weekday. I ordered a premium hot dog (basic plain dog in a bun, your choice of toppings) and it was very good. My only issue is that it was maybe 10% larger than what you'd get at IKEA or Costco, and over twice the price: $6.49 for a single wiener in a bun. I'd expect them to be making the buns from scratch in the back along with all the toppings for that price! Overall good dog, good place, great staff, but just not worth the price. You'd best believe the next time I'm at College & Bathurst, I'm going to walk in and claim my free HALF doughnut, and only the doughnut. read more

I don't really get the lower reviews. And the place is often pretty empty. But every time I've been here it's been good. The place has got a really cool set up. A length table accounts for most of the seating, and then some two tops and outside patio seating is the rest of it. The service is friendly and quick. Nothing over the top but congenial. There are daily specials for the food, and it's all made fresh. I have had some of their frankfurters and the double American cheeseburger. The fries too. It's all pretty tasty. A bit pricey for take out, but standard for these days. And they're open late. Worth the trip! read more

Well at least an attempt was made. I ordered one of their fancy hot dogs and the bun and toppings were delicious. Only thing that was not good at all was the actual hot dog. Like how can you butcher making a hot dog?! At the end of the day you can put a lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. You had one job! read more

I certainly do NOT recommend this place. We ordered delivery. The Chorizo sausage tasted okay, but hot dogs were clearly undercooked. We just ate half of them and yet we all got food poisoning later that day. read more

Very, very disappointing. I tried 2 dogs and a sausage. The ONLY thing good was the spicy sausage was very spicy. The hot dogs were undercooked and the chilli on the dog was AWFUL. Worse than the 'chilli' or meat you get at Taco Bell. The shredded cheese on the top of one dog seemed stale. I'll never order from here again. Hot dogs from the street carts are much better. Don't make the mistake I made and order from this place. read more

I went to Fancy Franks today for the first time. The best hot dog!

After our late dinner, we decided to walk around the area. Ju wanted to stop in for some freshly made mini donuts and me being such a good friend, of course, obliged.

I liked how they were hot and fresh out of the deep fryer. Not really my go to for late night snacks but I can see the appeal. At least it's cheap! Eat 'em while they're hot. read more

3.5/5, +.5 for service For some strange reason, I was craving a hot dog on Christmas Eve after work, but I wanted something a bit gourmet instead of your typical streetmeat in many downtown intersections. A Yelp search found this place for me, and after reading the menu and reviews I decided to try it out. This place is quite open concept, and the layout of the seats means you're sharing a large table with other customers. It's not a place where I would take my significant other or come in with a large group, but it's a place where I can grab a quick bite and expect quick, efficient service. After looking at the menu board for a few minutes, I went with the Seattle Frank. I was in Seattle last year but never managed to try their hot dogs, so I figure a Seattle Frank would revisit my memories of what could've been a Seattle hot dog. The hot dog was quite good! I'm not a huge fan of mustard and would probably order something without mustard next time, but the sausage itself was very juicy. For $7.50 the price is a little bit steep, but it's a gourmet hot dog so that's expected. I still had much better hot dogs at Japadog in Vancouver, but seeing how that's over in the west coast I'll settle with a place like this. Service was excellent. The person who took my order is very energetic and made the whole ordering experience very enlightening. He also seemed like a nice boss, as both workers (who looked like university students) were having a great time making people's food. I know there are a couple of other gourmet hot dog places nearby, but Fancy Franks looks like a place that temporarily fits the hole left behind of my awesome experience at Japadog during my west coast trip. read more

Came here to take my cousins out and it's cool that have different types of hotdogs that you can get with a veggie option. I had the kimchi and noodles poutine which was pretty good. For me prices are a little high for hotdogs. I would be happier to just eat hotdog on the street. It's way cheaper. read more

This seemed like an appealing concept - who doesn't like a fancy hot dog with cool things on it? I've had some delicious ones in Minneapolis and a few winners elsewhere, too. Not so much these, though. Part of the problem was the roll - huge, mushy, and sweet when it should have been lower in profile and more neutral flavored. The topping options seemed odd, and none of them made much kind of use that I could see of the great texture/flavor contrasts a good hot dog provides. They were also remarkably expensive for how not-great they were - any street cart in Toronto would sell you the same dog on the same bun for half the price, and you could doctor it yourself (not with short ribs, true, but still). It was hard to have paid $9 for a mediocre hot dog with cheese and think about how many hot dogs I could have bought at Costco, without cheese, for the same money. Poutine, same problem - overpriced and undistinguished. The surprise winner of the visit was the mini doughnuts. $6.50 gets you a dozen mini Nutella doughnuts with biscotti crumbs, and those are the most expensive - the cinnamon sugar ones are $4.50 and also look very nice. The doughnuts tipped this from two stars to three, but if we'd just got doughnuts and nothing else I would have been happier. read more

Fancy Franks - Chicago dog, Francophone, and a plain poutine - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've always wanted to come to come to Fancy Frank's with the beautiful hand painted signs and the amazing branding, and now I can say I have went! The place is very Toronto, with the beautiful designs and rustic look on the inside. They offer gourmet hot dogs and other items such as doughnuts, fries, and poutine and more. They have lots of different hot dogs with different toppings such as scrambled eggs, onions, avocado, and lots more. I ordered the 90210 hot dog; my friends also had different hot dogs, a poutine, and doughnuts as well. The hot dog... was good. I did not sing high praises about it but it's pretty good. The price was about $9~ or so and honestly I wasn't full after it and found it kind of pricey. The fries were not very tasty and kind of like cardboard until my friend dumped the gravy on it, and the doughnuts were decent. It was an average meal. Service was pretty good and helpful. In conclusion, 3.5/5. I liked the experience and the food there, but it's only a "once in a long long while" place for me. read more

Finally, after months (maybe month...) of waiting, Fancy Franks is OPEN! I've been eying this gem as it's been going up over the last month or so, and finallyyyy got to try it today! Fancy Franks is a hot dog joint which also specializes in mini doughnuts (WTF AM I IN HEAVEN!!?), while I didn't try the doughnuts today, I did get to try two of their hot dogs, their fries and even got a cute little fountain drink! This is definitely more of a lunch style place, with large bar seating (TIP: I really wish you would install coat hooks underneath). The decor is, I'm going to go with hot-dog chic, as one wall is covered in vintage hot-dog pics, and there is an old school counter where your toppings are added. They even have glass bottle pop (YAY!) but it is Pepsi (BOO!). After taking a look at their wall menu, and then discovering their much easier to read paper menu, we ordered the California one (90210 something) and the pulled pork one (Southern something - obviously I'm good with names). You can choose between frank and sausage, as well as a variety of toppings and whole wheat or white buns. The southern frank was SO good - topped with pulled pork and delicious slaw, you can't really go wrong. The California one was good, but was a little dry (TIP: avocado salsa instead of avocado!). The fries come in a huge portion (definitely split-able) and were salty and delicious. One thing to note, is that I didn't see a veggie option - not super surprising at a hot dog restaurant, but just a tip! With 10-12 more hotdogs to try, as well as the mini doughnuts, and considering this is walking distance from work - Fancy Franks, I'll be seeing you! read more

BOTTOM LINE: A pricey sausage fest of mediocrity. Fancy Franks just didn't do it for me. I love their external mural and the overall design of the shop - their vintage photos of ladies and their oral fixations is not at all suggestive. ;) They have a great variety of dogs topped with some creative toppings...but the extras add up quickly. It's a dollar for a sausage upgrade and about $3-4 to make it a combo with fries and a soda. But when it comes down to it, I just can't seem appreciate their fancy dogs more than I can street meat. I ordered their SOUTHERN FANCY and upgraded it with the SPICY SAUSAGE. It comes with a good helping of pulled pork (nice charred taste to it) and pickled red cabbage. Others have complained about their buns, but I love their big buns (and I cannot lie)...it's actually necessary to hold their toppings together! The sausage was nice and juicy (though it's hard to mess up pork and fat essentially) with a good kick to it. Overall, while their product is pretty solid, their pricing is outside my impulsive purchase range. read more

Oh you fancy huh? In what used to be a computer parts and service store now stands the fanciest hot dog stand you've probably ever set foot in. The large communal table and the bar around the outside of the seating area is made from reclaimed wood, the floors look to be hardwood, and the walls are a natural brick. There is a vintage mural on the main wall of the eating area with pictures of people enjoying hot dogs. I've visited Fancy Franks three times now and tried a range of the options. I'm really torn. But before I get into that let's go through what I tried. On my first trip I went all out. I got the priciest dog on the menu, the Fancy-aano ($9), a poutine, and a fountain Pepsi. The Fancy-aano comes with arugula, parmigiano reggiano, prosciutto, and a balsamic dijon mustard. I wasn't overly impressed with my first visit. While the individual ingredients sound good and it was a very nice looking frank, I thought the mustard overpowered everything. There was a hint of the arugula and parm, but I couldn't tell that there was prosciutto on it. The poutine was tasty. I like the gravy and the fries are solid. Unfortunately the gravy is not hot enough to melt the curds. Unless you have a strong hankering for poutine, this one is a pass for me. My subsequent visits were better. The second dog I devoured was the Fancy 90210. Bacon, avocado, and tomato are standard. I added mozzarella and upgraded from the standard meat to a spicy sausage. I really enjoyed the flavour of the sausage. While I don't like that the buns are so large, for this one it's a good thing. The avocado and tomatoes are cut into such large chunks that they pop out when you bite down, so you can try to squish them into the large bun to prevent it. Yesterday I popped in to try the dougnuts, but they still don't have them up and running. Tomorrow is apparently the day. To fill the void I grabbed a Fancy-zza. The toppings are what you would expect; pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. At the suggestion of the employee helping me I added garlic mayo. The garlic mayo is AMAZING. So delicious. The reason I'm torn is thus: The ingredients are local and they're great, but not really great enough to demand such a premium price. I mean, $7-9 for a hot dog is a good chunk of money to ask a consumer to spend. Also, the bun to meat ratio is not good. Too much bun, not enough dog. Clearly this is a 4-star review so the pros outweigh the cons but I'm going to let the dust settle before I make a final decision. I should also mention that the franks are all beef, there's a veggie dog, and there's chicken too. No gluten-free bun option unfortunately. There's a good amount of traffic and there could be a small line when you come. Though it seems like about half of the people wandering in are just checking out the menu with promises to come back at a later time. read more

Hm. I guess I don't get it. I didn't like this at all. My boyfriend didn't mind it, but he'll eat anything. - too much bun. Too much bread. - ingredients - pieces too big. Felt like an afterthought. 'lets make this a Greek hot dog Lets pile a Greek salad on top!" for $7.00 - Big chunks of pasty, unripened tomatoes. GROSS. - The mild sausage was dry. Wasn't great at all. (not worth the +$1 upgrade!) - The hotdog casing is really tough. I know nothing about hotdogs, but it was tough and required a lot of chewing. Fries are ... fries? Thin, shoestring fries. They come in a box-style. Lots of fries. crammed together. They gave us 3 mini donuts to sample, which was a very nice gesture. But I'd never order them. They were obviously fried in oil not nearly hot enough. They weren't crispy or dry. They were moist and soggy. In a nutshell .... It's obvious that I just don't get it. The toppings and the regular ol' hot dog isn't mind blowing. The hotdog .. it's all such an afterthought. The toppings are too much IMO, and they just fall off, and then you get a mouth full of BUN and a bit of mediocre dog. These toppings? Go to a good hotdog cart along Front Street, and you can get a most of these toppings, with a much bigger and better hotdog or sausage. Won't be returning. read more

We stumbled by Fancy Franks during their first few days open and it was a happy discovery. I hadn't heard anything about this new joint before, but having had gourmet hot dogs in the U.S., I think this is a good entry to the scene. Fancy Franks has a host of interesting gourmet hot dogs "flavours" and tons of great, fresh-looking toppings. It's not as cheap as street meat, but then again you can tell why from the quality of the ingredients they use. The buns are from Silverstein's, the franks have good flavour and a satisfying snap while the toppings were tasty and relatively abundant. I chose the Franks Got Seoul (yummy bulgogi, though kimchi wasn't too spicy) and my partner ordered the Southern Fancy (nicely spiced pulled pork and fresh coleslaw). We added an order of fries, which were a bit soggy, but a good enough size for the two of us. Vanilla milkshake was great. We arrived after six pm and there were already a bunch of young families and 20somethings enjoying dinner perched on the shop's stools. There's one long, high communal table in the middle of the shop as well space against the front window. Two little dudes eating dinner with their mom had the best exchange: Little Guy 1: "That was a pretty good hot dog." Little Guy 2: "These buns were pretty good at falling apart." And you know, it was so true. These dogs are MESSY! The buns are sturdy, but they do tend to split completely in half at the joint/bend due to the weight of the toppings. Fancy Franks still has to work out some opening kinks (e.g. service workflow and that disappointing fact that they didn't have doughnuts yet!). Will have to check it out again to try those doughnuts and a completely different dog! Notes: They offer a choice of regular or whole wheat buns. I believe any dog on the menu can be made with a regular frank, a sausage or a veggie dog. read more

Fancy won't let you down.* Their buffalo dog is delicious. No it's not made of buffalo, it's a deep fried hotdog disguised as a beautiful chicken wing. Celery toppings, blue cheese and hot sauce make this the tastiest hot dog in the history of the world. And I don't even really like hot dogs that much, which is probably why this place is a four star stop and not a five. I know that $6-$10 seems a bit pricy for a hot dog, but these really are specialty dogs and beautifully crafted meals. Plus everything is local which makes you feel nice about supporting FF's. The mural outside is fun and adds whimsy to this otherwise boring block at the north end of Kensington, and the inside is warm and welcoming. Yessir, I'm a fanna Frank's. *I love Reba McIntyre, don't tell anyone. read more

Fancy Franks - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This looks like a pretty neat establishment but all the hype does not match what's on the inside. Their hot dogs are average considering what you pay for them. At about 3 times more than some street meat, they're pretty small and toppings are quite minimal. I don't mind paying for something unique or something I can't get anywhere else, but this is not it. The hot dog I had was decent. They get points for presentation of the food, but the hot dog wasn't anything special. We also ordered the Chili poutine which was good, but salty. Overall, I'd say go out and buy a hot dog on the street and grab dessert some place else with the money you save. read more

This is a good place to go for a quick bite. Can't really go wrong or mess up hot dogs. I tried the Frank's Coney Island which is a hot dog with chilli, onions, and mustard -it's simple. They have many more options to chose from and you can also add extra typical hot dog toppings over on top if you like. The hot dogs are juicy and made with beef. Their hot dogs overall was average tasting. I wasn't really happy about the poutine though because the cheese curds didn't melt at all into the fries and gravy, so it still had that rubbery texture. The service was excellent. Very friendly staff. We dropped one of our hot dogs on the floor because the baskets and milkshake cup was sliding around over the tray. We felt terrible about the mess we made, but the guys were nice enough to quickly make us a new one free of charge and clean up our mess. The decor of the place is modern and casual. I was surprised at the number of seats available for such a small hot dog joint. They have benches and tables outside around the corner against their side wall as well for the warmer days. Will definitely come back if in the area and feeling for something quick and easy. read more

To be honest, I'm not really a fan of hotdogs. Processed meats are usually a turn-off for me. Despite that, I am a huge foodie and after hearing about Fancy Franks, I couldn't resist myself from trying out these so-called "gourmet hotdogs". My friend and I shared the Fancy 90210, Frankie Goes To Buffalo, and Lemon Curd & Powdered Sugar + Cinnamon Sugar Mini Donuts. Fancy 90210 was "nice". I'll give it that. But then again, fresh avocados and tomatoes on anything is nice! The hotdog tasted good but I think you know where I'm going with this one - I didn't feel this was too special. Frankie Goes To Buffalo however, was an interesting twist that I feel rightfully deserves its "gourmet" claim. The outer crunchiness of the panko complemented the inner softness of the sausage and created a very satisfying mouthfeel that you normally don't get from hotdogs. The mini donuts were yummy. Nothing too special but the sizes were very appropriate considering it's just a side snack and you still have a main meal! The one thing I really liked about this place is that you can customize your hotdog regardless of what you get and there is a wide selection of toppings! All in all, I would love to try all of the different items on their menu but the prices are a little deterring. Since it is just a hotdog after all, I probably wouldn't come back for its current price. Also, I'd like to give a shoutout to Alexa, one of the employees, for being so cheerful and providing such awesome service. read more

Toronto's answer to Chicago's Hot Doug's and New York's Crif Dogs; gourmet hot dogs with unique topping combinations that are bound to satisfy your cravings. I went shortly after the lunch hour and customers were trickling in and out, little by little. The girl working the cash register did not look like she wanted to be there which was a bit off-putting when studying the menu and placing my order. I ordered the Franks Got Seoul and the cajun fries and was told they would call out my order when it was ready. It was a standard size hot dog and the bun was lightly toasted. The hot dog was nice and juicy, the beef ribs was tangy and sweet, and the kimchi lacked the spice I was hoping for. It had the "burrito effect" where some bites I would just get the beef ribs, and other bites I would just get the hot dog. As for the cajun fries, it came i n a large portion and they had a liberal amount of the seasoning and had a nice kick to it. You Gotta Eat Here? It was between Fancy Franks and the nearby Clubhouse Sandwich Shop (which I'll check out next time). It's worth checking out for its novelty and the creative menu options. I was more satisfied with the cajun fries than the hot dog. I would come back to try their poutine as selections seems to be a bit more unique than Smoke's Poutinerie. Overall, it was a good (not great) meal. read more

The lady working at the cash was very polite, welcoming, informative, and accommodating! I have been here before and had a good experience with food so I was sad to say that my last experience was horrific. I got home and opened my box to see a very PALE hotdog. Literally no colour to it. I took a bite and it was stone cold. I'm not sure how that happened or why it was okay to serve a hotdog that looked that uncooked. I could understand if it looked cooked and the inside could of used a bit more time but there is no excuse to serve this. Very unfortunate experience and not a cheap one compared to regular street meat. read more

Fancy Franks - Ultimate Grilled Cheese Poutine and Spicy Sausage! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Fancy Franks is what Toronto needs, a shop that has a diner feel serving classics such milkshakes, mini donuts, poutine and chilli, while giving us hip gourmet toppings on our hot dogs that we want today. As mentioned on Fancy Frank's website, "Come taste the hot dog of tomorrow" I stopped by on a weekday afternoon and there was a constant flow of business. The location was amazing, close to Kensington market, Chinatown and the University of Toronto. It was nice to see that the restaurant was family friendly. I met a father and son who were reading some children books that were supplied by the restaurant, with all books related to hot dogs of course! My top 3 picks: 1. The Frankaphone, which had smoked gruyere cheese, horseradish cheddar, squeaky curds and a honey Dijon mayo. This dog definitely felt gourmet! The cheese melted so perfectly on the dog and provided the right amount of saltiness. 2. The FFGHD TX which had cajin spiced grilled onions, chedder cheese, BBQ sauce and chipotle mayo. It was a nice combination of sweetness with a nice tang from the sauces. 3. The Po-Boy Gets Fancy which had panko fried shrimp, lettuce, horseradish mayo, and hot sauce. Who doesn't like a po-boy? It was delicious. There are TONS of toppings for customers to choose from to make their dog extra special. There was also a vegetarian Frank and sausages if requested. Now what made the hot dogs stand out for me? It was the quality of the ingredients. The 100% beef dogs with natural lamb casing had a nice snap when biting into them. Even with toppings such as cheese and meat, the flavourings never overpowered the hot dog. The hot dogs shined in each one. Even after eating so much, I felt great and energetic! The mini donuts are a must. They are created fresh daily and are SO cute! Theirs is something for everyone, come taste a great quality gourmet hot dog! read more

Fancy Franks - Juicy gourmet dogs with generous toppings at Fancy Franks! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I had some time to kill so the daughter and I checked out this place. Oddly enough the hotdogs didn't peak my fancy nor the daughter's so we both had burgers. I had the All American Double Cheese burger and the Daughter had the Bacon/Cheese burger. I had onion rings. The burger was ready quickly. I added onions and the usual ketchup, mustard and relish. The daughter had hickory sticks and blue cheese dressing. I found my burger done to perfection and the burger was satisfying. The onion rings were a nice but not generous portion. They came with an dip that was complementary. The daughter second guessed herself and ordered some fries and we had Doughnuts for dessert. Personally I found the fries a little over cooked and not firm. The daughter loved them as they were similar to old style fish & chip fries. Then again the blue cheese dip helped with the taste. The doughnuts were tasty but the price on Tiny Toms a la the CNE. $6.00 for the dozen. However unlike Tiny Toms these were bigger doughnuts. The daughter couldn't finish her burger so I had a bite. I found her burger to be very dry. I am not sure if it was the hickory sticks or the lack of other toppings (ex. Tomatoes or ketchup) but had that been my burger, I would have give the place a 2.5 out of 5. read more
