Cool place and theme. One of the best hot dog places we have been to in WV. It is out of the way; we stopped on our way home from Marshall. Our daughter had been telling us, "We had to try it." So glad we did. We will be back. read more

Been meaning to stop in since a long ago Guy Fieri episode of Diners Drive ins and Dives, plus playing Fallout 76. It worked out for us on the drive back from Louisville. The set up is hilariously insane, worth the stop alone. The cashier was fun and friendly, and the graffiti in the women's room was inspiring! I have a basic bitch stomach, so got the "Puppy" with just ketchup. Sproßling got the Mothman, garnished with I believe onion rings and 1000 Island. Husband got his smothered in jalapeños. We split a full size onion rings, which were hot and tasty. We all had Gold Peak tea. The dogs tasted great, if I had a normal stomach I would have gotten a second one. As it was, we were in and out and back on the road quick as a wink! read more

My great grandkids loved it! They insist on going back every summer they come stay with me.

We used to come as regular customers. The last two times we were very dissatisfied with our food. We took some friends that were from out west. We ordered two deep fried hotdogs, chicken sandwich, ham & cheese sub and some French fries. The ham was burnt to a crisp. You couldn't even take a bite it was so hard. Chicken sandwich and hotdogs were the same way. The only thing worth eating were the French fries. We threw everything away.I complained on the way out. All she said was oh I'm sorry. $40 just wasted. We will not be going back. read more

This place is what road trips are all about out. When you're on a multi-hour trip and love to find the quirky and unique along the way, this fits the bill. Tucked away just a few minutes off I-64 in Barboursville, WV, this place offers eccentric hot dogs at a reasonable price. Using all beef dogs they create some wild and crazy options as well as the basics. Surprisingly they have non-dog choices and some vegetarian options too. Look, truth be told the dogs themselves are average, but you're not here just for the food. You're here for the experience. The place is decorated - every square inch of it - with stuff that looks like it came right off the Clampett's jalopy. (Look it up kids.) Bring your aw shucks attitude, because the punny signs are everywhere. And with a little planning ahead, apparently you can actually get married in the Weddin' Chapel. It's tacky and corny and therefore the perfect roadside stop. We arrived around 11:30 on a Sunday and had a short wait. When we left under an hour later, the line was creeping towards the street. Our line moved quickly in part to the friendly staff. The wait for our food wasn't long either. There was plenty of outdoor shady seating, but you can also sit inside in their "renovated" school bus. Is it a 5-star dining experience? No. Is it a 5-star road trip destination. You bet yer britches! read more

I don't remember when or where I first heard about Hillbilly Hot Dogs but it has been on my travel list for a very long time. We recently decided to do a trip to West Virginia and of course included this in our trip. When I was looking at their website for hours and such I discovered that they also did weddings and vow renewals. Since it was our anniversary month we decided to book a vow renewal. We had an absolute blast! The venue is super cute, the ceremony fast and fun and the employees are the best! The property was great to take some photos around and eating hot dogs inside a school bus was fun. Highly recommend! read more

Very cool place. Stopped here on Sunday leaving Kentucky and the place was PACKED right at opening. We waited in line for 45 minutes. Went the basic route and just got a corndog since I am not the biggest fan of hot dog chili, and it was the best corn dog I've had. Staff was nice. Must see spot right on Rt 2 read more

Hillbilly Hotdogs is a MUST VISIT. We drove around 4 hours just to come experience the food and decor! The service was fast, friendly and fresh! Sharie went above and beyond to ensure that my little girl got her cup back when she didn't have to. This business is ran by good people serving great food. I would 100% recommend this restaurant. Fun fact did you know Guy Fiere has visited Hillbilly hotdogs? Now you do! Plan a road trip and visit this gem! The food and experience are worth the trip! We will be back! read more

We drove 2.5 hours to try this unique restaurant. The parking lot was packed at 11:30 for lunch on a Friday. The young lady taking orders was delightful. We chose to sit in one of the busses. It needed a good scrub top to bottom. The table was sticky. The windows were filthy. Granted, the lady taking orders said they are short of staff - I assume the summer help went back to college. I'm glad I tried it. I'll stick to restaurants closer to home. read more

Well this place is not a place you are going to pass by on the way to anywhere you would travel. Our really good friends (the husband who recently passed) is from West Virginia and they spoke of this place. We planned a trip to Williamsburg, VA over the week after Christmas. Coming from SoIN/Louisville KY area we are going I-64 E. About 200 miles later (and about 20 miles round trip out of the way) we ended up at Hillbilly Hot Dogs. So about the food... you'll see the pics of the dogs we ordered. Not fantastic hot dogs, but a good experience. The service was impeccable. If you left a tip the cashier sang a song. She had a really nice voice too! This place has a 3 choices for huge hot dogs with a couple of pounds of toppings. The Homewrecker, the Widowmaker, and Pick Yer Wrecker. We saw a guy and his wife eating one as we were leaving, and it was epic. It was a fun place to go to see some the nostalgia in the "old-time" things hanging as the decor. read more

It's more of a nostalgia thing the hot dogs are really not that good but if you want something that you never heard of before and you want to experience heartburn beyond belief go for it read more

You have to know what to expect, we didn't. It's definitely a roadside hotdog stand that got some national publicity for being "eccentric", but that's all it is. We stopped by at lunch on a Saturday, made an out of the way beeline to try it, and arrived 1/2 hour after it opened. Parking is sketchy. Spots drean with orange spray paint, and not enough of them. We grabbed the last one, up against a building and under a tree. Took a few photo snaps at the chapel and the wall of hubcaps, then walked past unsupervised kids playing in one of the abandoned school buses. The theme is Sanford and Sons meets redneck yard with abandoned cars. Kitchy, sure. Well done? Not so much. There are ways to make something look like that without every square inch actually being junk. Rusty stools (get your tetanus shot before you go), filthy, uncleaned plywood table tops (they need more staff), and not enough seating. Once inside you are shoulder to shoulder with everyone while you stand in line. At least there's time to read the menu. But remember, it's hot dogs. Hot dogs every way, and they sound great on paper, but in reality , there's nothing special at all about them. The chili is about as good as canned, and maybe it is. We got the name sake, the hillbilly dog, thinking it must be what launched them. You can make a better chili dog with a can of Hormel. We tried the chicken sandwich, the barnyard bird dog, which we hoped would be a succulent chicken tender with pickles and American cheese. In reality it was some very overcooked chicken nuggets with what looked like Kraft cheese slices, shiny and all. The bbq sauce wasn't bad, and it covered the taste of the burned breading. The side of fries was what you would expect. Crinkle cut, mass produced and likely cooked from frozen. The onion rings, always one of my favorites, were deep Brown and so overcooked the onion had disappeared. The counter staff were friendly and fun, but a view into the kitchen and no one was wearing gloves, hairnets or even long pants. Not sure it was any cleaner back there than the piles of junk in the waiting spaces, or the unwashed tables in the bus seating. If you happen to be driving directly by this place, sure, stop in and poke your face through their photo op. But if you have to drive out of the way and are looking for good food, do yourself a favor and find someplace else. I know some Hillbillies that would be offended to be affiliated with this place. read more

Hillbilly hot dog is all about America. It is a go to one of a kind of a lifetime kind of place. I really fell in love with place. The hotdogs with a great number of combinations that you can have it with the chili the people the workers it's a one-of-a-kind experience and if you drive by there, you have to stop This place is an eyecatcher when you're driving by there's no way you just can drive by and not stop there. The hotdogs are good. The food is good just the surroundings and the friendly people surrounded by friendly people. We had a bunch of bikers there and they were so friendly I mean, I'm from New Jersey and I'm on my way to visit one of the greatest friends and on my way home hillbilly hot dog is roadside of like wow Look you have some negative comments on here and I gotta tell you people are so stupid. I don't understand why people have to write such negative stupid things like they're expecting like a five star Michelin star restaurant out of a hotdog place. I mean, let's get real this place it's one of the greatest places in the United States to visit, especially in the middle of West Virginia . I love the people and I love West Virginia and I love this place and every time I go to West Virginia from now on I will be stopping at hillbilly hotdogs. It's just the American thing to do. I'm sorry this is one of the greatest experiences of my life. Go to West Virginia. read more

Like most, we came here based on their appearance on the Food Network. Additionally, we got recommendations from other vegetarians. We tried the portobello burger and portobello hotdog and I have to say both were really good. There are a ton of options both vegetarian and not. The service was good and quick. As for the ambiance, great idea but extremely overdone to the point of not being funny. Some things were clever like the Spam tin salt & pepper holders. Just my opinion, obviously. Both parking and seating is plentiful, nothing to worry about if you're an oversized vehicle or oversized group. Seating options include indoors in an old wrecked school bus, outdoors on numerous picnic benches and an upstairs porch. read more

Fun crazy place, it took longer to look at everything than ordering and eating. Be careful pulling in and out of this place it is situated along a busy highway. Food wasn't great, but what do you want for a hotdog. It was a one time visit for me just to say I seen it. Kinda cool to dine in an old bus though. read more

This is one of those places that's a diamond and the rough. You never know you have to come here until you get here and you're amazed that it exists. There is some excellent food but even better people watching. We didn't get to try a homewrecker because they are out for the season however the hot dogs we did try we're tasty and filling. I'm actually glad we only got three instead of four because I would have been full. The onion rings were beer battered and not overly greasy. The variety of hot dogs you can order are endless as well as creating your own. They also have hamburgers but we didn't try any of that We only tried hot dogs. The seating is limited on busy days so if you are staying nearby you can get it to go or if you want the whole experience you can sit in the school bus and eat your hot dogs. The whole thing is quite the experience. read more

On our tour throughout WV for our Fallout76 game, we visited Hillbilly Hotdogs (aka Hillfolk Hotdogs in the game). This was such a fun experience!! There is so much to see here. It's just a ton of fun no matter which corner you take. We ordered three hotdogs, The Harrison, The Mothman, and The Wazzup Dog and a side of onion rings. Everything tasted so good and it's all reasonably priced! We sat in the bus and had a blast reading everything written on the bus and tables. This was seriously a great time and I'm glad we made the trip out here! read more

Honestly it was better than I was expecting it to be with all the attention and hype its had. Definitely worth the stop for sure to try it and check out the vibes but can't say I'd go way out of my way for it again. With that said if I was in the area, I would still go back again without a doubt. The experience and surroundings are absolutely perfect and 1000% what I'd expect when hearing the name "Hillbilly Hotdogs". All the random stuff everywhere was great and was a perfect off the road place in the middle of no where.. The food was definitely good but not amazing or anything like that...But I went there knowing it wasn't supposed to be anything fancy and am totally fine with it. The menu was extensive with sooo many choices and topping options for your dog. I thought they'd only have hot dogs but nope, they had burgers and sandwiches too! Plus a bunch of appetizers and sides as well. Overall I'd give this visit right between 4/5 stars and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambiance and surrounding environment was fantastic, there is no denying that so would give it a 5 star. I'd give it a 4 star on the food because while being overall really good, it just didn't blow me away at the end of the day... read more

This is why I'm not losing weight. Because I will go out of my way to eat hot dogs (and onion rings!) instead of finding a healthy salad. But oh, it was so worth it today! Yes, I was here because it was a DDD stop. And yes, it's a good 15 minutes off the Interstate. But wow, this place has character and ambiance and it's just an interesting experience. You won't regret eating hot dogs in a former school bus that looks like it was rescued from a junk yard. I chose the West Virginia Dog (chili sauce, mustard, onions and cole slaw) and the Harrison Dog (chili sauce, nacho cheese, sautéed onions, sour cream and bacon bits) with a HALF order of onion rings. It did not take very long for my name to be called and then it was time to dig in and not wear any of this. $13 for the meal which is not bad considering the experience. I'd totally do it again the next time I'm passing through! [Review 19627 overall - round number 100 in West Virginia - 599 of 2023.] read more

I was at your "restaurant" yesterday at about 2:20 and was appalled to see that NO ONE operating the restaurant cared about a poor woman who fell into a diabetic coma on the ground in the dirt in front of your establishment. Many people asked for sugar and no one responded - you staff just kept taking hot dog orders. No one called for an ambulance either. People then called for a coke. No one supplied that either. She could have died. I called the ambulance which took her away. If you have a manager on duty, they failed. read more

I live it, a bit pricey for hot dogs, but not bad. Love the look and general redneck aesthetics. Best hot dogs around!

All of my West Virginia hillbilly dreams came true the other day. My three year old had been talking about "widing the bus" for days and then he was even more excited to "dwive the bus". The hot dogs were sooooo good, as were the fried mushrooms and fried cauliflower. I can't stop thinking about this little slice of Appalachian paradise. I had the "Buckeye' (hot dog with chili, coleslaw and mustard) and I also requested to have it deep fried, which made it even better. It's kind of an inconvenient drive for me, but it is SO WORTH IT. I'll come back. read more

Cool place to stop if you're passing through, kinda in the middle of nowhere along the river. You can order to go from the counter or order to eat in inside the restaurant or outside in the many places to sit. This is conveniently located right off the road it would make a great rest stop. Lots of random junk (literally) you can look at/photo ops. I grabbed one hot dog to go and the service was immediate and fast, got it in about 2 minutes and the girl at the counter was very friendly and offered recommendations prior to ordering. The Hillybilly hot dog and West Virginia (#1s and 4) are apparently the most popular. I left a tip and the entire kitchen crew sang a song for me, which was unexpected and awkward but made me smile. Thanks so much y'all! read more

This proves the wild California liberals not only can happily get along with boondocks rednecks but we are all better for it when they do! Us six guys touring around the Ohio River knew from the first things to do in the area lists that we would end up here. It is a must stop food shop! The finest American white trash presented as an antique rusting zoo complete with school bus dining room, tastefully offensive and fully offensive decorations, hilarious, outrageous, and endearing staff combine to make this a museum restaurant. It's got that giddy spirit of YEEHAW all over. Of course this makes one suspicious of the food, often such cuisine falls flat when presented with such unabashed flair. We ran all over the menu ordering. Fried pickles, local brews, I did the basic weenie and a beef dog. My basic was boring. But the pickles and my beef dog, totally phenomenal. The others had similar experiences, one boring hotdog and two amazing. Hillbilly Hotdogs is a beyond the brain food festival that reaches the magic, appealing to both red and blue, and I can sure vote that purple is best! read more

Upon arrival there's an initial adrenaline rush as the ambiance lends to the expectation of a Deliverance-esque encounter. Once the trepidation subsides, and you order your meal the staff is delightfully friendly, and the food is delicious. There are many styles of hotdogs to choose from, and all of the ones I tried were delicious. I put so many delicious wieners down my throat. It was a flavor explosion in my mouth! I left feeling fulfilled. I was completely stuffed with wieners. 10/10 would come back to suck on a few more. read more
