What a fun little place. The music was great, there were plenty of picnic tables to eat at and a littke bathroom if needed too. I chose the polish dog... loved it. My friend got the coney w red sauce... loved it. Other friend got hot dog...loved it. We all got mugs of root beer and damn was that a needed addition. I can tell by the crowds of people that this place is a true gem. Go try them out read more

Hot dog stand is OK but I wouldn't say it's great. The coney was actually kind of gross and the sauce taste like barbecue sauce. The Polish dog I think called a Joe in black or something like that, was decent, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

There is no lobby so you order at the window and then take it to your car to eat there are no picnic tables either. The only except cash. Hot dogs are boiled and warmed in the microwave I expected a grilled hot dog at least. The red sauce is far too sweet and they don't put hardly any of it on there. When I want a Coney I want meat. I was just not impressed but what I will say is maybe it's just me because this place stays consistently busy during the summer months. They have chips and they have fountain drinks. It's really super basic but the pricing is fair. I just have had way better conies so maybe my expectations were too high to begin with. Staff was friendly since I didn't have cash cuz I didn't know that was the policy she let me do cash app. There's plenty of parking and it's on a main road within walking distance to an ice cream place. read more

Yay! A historical staple in wonderful Grand Blanc, MI! One and only hot dog stand with the original red sauce! Easy on the onions because they are super potent, but get a side of rootbeer to washbit down and you have the full Grand Blanc experience! Only open certain times of year not in the winter so check hours and enjoy!!! read more

Didn't bring cash with me the first time around not knowing they only take cash came back a few days later. I ordered 2 Coney dogs and their classic root beer.... The chili was a little sweet for my taste for chill but the root beer was 10 out of 10. The dog was 4.50$ kind of expensive for a hot dog .... The location was right down Main Street in downtown Grand blanc it's a walk up window. Parking lot was very clean and had benches to sit at if you chose. read more

My family and I enjoy getting some coneys here once or twice a year (when they open and/or when they close for the season. The homemade root beer has good flavor, but it does tend to be flat. Services is usually pretty friendly. The ambiance is...well, that of a hot dog stand. I do wish they'd catch up and start taking a card because I never carry cash and it isn't convenient, but the coneys and the polish dog are tasty. Oh! I also wish they'd get some sauerkraut. read more

The worst hot dogs I've ever eaten. Taste like they're all boiled in the same water all day. When I pay for a hot dog I expect it to be cooked and have condiments. They didn't even have ketchup read more

They do good business ....but... Every time i get a rootbeer to go its FLAT as a board......but.... I do love the chili cheese xtra cheese....js read more

A throwback place, been open since 1964. Root beer tasted great - like old a&w draft ! A unique red sauce on coneys. So wanted to love them , but only really liked. Quick service. Cash only. read more

I ordered 2 cheese dogs she asked if I wanted onions mustard and red sauce I said "NO JUST CHEESE PLEASE" she says okay and proceeds to give me extra onions and mustard and red sauce. The worst place I've ever been man just wanted a damn cheese dog read more

Owner is very unfriendly she never smiles, speaks to you or thanks you for your business. She tosses your order at you instead of handing it. Very unsanitary, hot dogs are cold. read more

I'm a hot dog guy. I'd love this place for the other simplicity: just hotdogs and all the accoutrements. You can get bags of chips but they don't offer burgers or anything else and I think that's what makes it perfect. Extremely fast service, fantastic root beer and Koegel's hotdogs: what more could you ask for? read more

Yuck yuck yuck! Snap hotdogs!! They snap when you bite them. Are they selling pig intestine hotdogs... aka natural casing. I was so excited and then in one bit... disgusted!! I know some like those snappy dogs but not this girl. The hotdog is gross enough without wrapping it up in pig intestines. read more

Good if you're in a rush, I guess, nothing special you can boil these hotdogs at home.

The coneys are pretty great. The homemade root beer is delicious and refreshing. Nothing fancy here, and that's okay.

Just stopped in for lunch after driving by it for 2 months, telling myself each time that I would try it out because it looked authentic. Well, my instincts were correct. I really enjoyed the chili dog with mustard and onions. As a fan of hot dogs in general, I found the dog juicy and tender and the bun was steamed perfectly. DEFINITELY get the root beer. According to the lady behind the counter, it is homemade and it tasted much better than store-bought or other fountain varieties. Next time I'll try the root beer float. Skip this place if you don't like hot dogs because there's not much else on the menu. However, I can't imagine that you'll find a better hot dog anywhere in town. It's cheap ($1.50 to $2 per dog) and quick. read more

This place is a staple in grand Blanc. It's a cash only little hot dog stand that has yummy dogs. The buns and dogs are steamed. They make their own red sauce that is to die for. Their root beer comes out of a tap and doesn't have a lot of carbonation, which I think is awesome. There's plenty of parking. If you get your food for here they'll serve your root beer in a frosty glass. I will greatly miss this place when I move. read more

How I wish the GB Hot Dog Stand was in Cali! I grew up eating from this place. I remember pulling up to a parking space and a high school kid working for the summer would come up to your car to take your order. The food is brought to you on a tray that hooks onto your rolled down window. Classic 50's style sans girls on rollerskates! The hot dogs are Koegels (best hot dogs ever and only sold in MI? Booooo!!) and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of chili and onions on top. The rootbeer is homemade and tastes so awesome! A&W doesn't even come close! Their menu is limited but very basic. Coney dog, Rootbeer and Popcorn. Life is just that simple sometimes! The Hot Dog Stand is a True GB Classic! read more

Good hot dogs. Best part is the drive up and car hop service. I probably need to experience it a couple more times, but I don't really get why it's so popular. Maybe growing up and living in California for MOST of my life, hot dogs are just hot dogs to me. Oh and the root beer? I've always known SODA to have carbonation. I don't get why anyone would want flat root beer. I drink soda for the carbonation, then flavor. Yuck to flat homemade root beer. Sorry Michigan. I don't understand your deal with flat root beer at all. The best part of our first experience here is our daughter 2.4 years old, ate her whole hot dog. She never eats hot dogs. Can anyone tell me what the big deal is about flat homemade root beer? This place closes for a couple months in the Winter. We made it there are few days before they closed. We will be back to try it out again. Not going to get the root beer though. read more

Nice little place. They come out to your car and serve you! You can either eat in your car or outside at a picnic table. Good root beer served hare as well as Koegel Hot Dogs. Tuesdays are discount days so they are a great day to stop in. Better than the fast food places in the area. This place is a nice change of pace. Also have a few car cruises here - love those days!! read more

I've been eating at the hotdog stand since I was probably five or six years old. They have the best hotdogs and I by the red sauce before they close so I have it all winter long read more

This place is just not my cup of tea. A hot dog with marina sauce is their main item. I didn't like it but others sure seem to love them. The only real down side is they only take cash. read more

The root beer floats are phenomenal. As the first reviewer stated, the root beer is homemade and can be purchased by the gallon if you can't get enough in just one stop. Hot dogs are tasty and delivered right to your car. Perfect lunch spot for a summer afternoon. read more

Love this place And for David C from Kali You have no clue about Ciney island Dogs And guess what I'm from SoCal But I know about a good And great Coney Do ya all a favor and delete your review And apologize Thx Your Friend From SoCal read more

Soggy buns, average hot dogs (not much else on the menu) and flat root beer. My husband and I stopped by after reading the reviews .. what a disappointment!! The worse thing about this place is just how dirty it is, food all over the floor, dirty tables and the restrooms were just too gross to use!! read more

I grew up in the area and have fond memories of my parents taking me here in the mid70s. I've been away for a long time but every time I'm back in the summer I eat at the hot dog stand and it's always even better than I remembered. Although nothing beats being there, you can order the red sauce and have it shipped to get a little taste when you're away. read more

This stand is great. I used to live across the street and would walk over in the summer. Their dogs and red sauce is fantastic. The root beer steals the show. read more

Decided to try and support a local business. Hours posted are different on website and Facebook so I drove there to see of they were open. Were still open but there was a large sign saying cash only, nothing about this posted anywhere on website or Facebook. So I drove to an ATM fo get cash. I get back just at 8 and are told sorry we closed at 8. I won't bother ever trying them now. read more

I just took my boyfriend for his first hot dog stand hot dog. I myself haven't had one in over 20 years. They are just as delicious as I remember. The red sauce is so good, and really makes you wonder why you even waste your time with ketchup at all. Get the root beer in the chilled mug, it's the best root beer in the world. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid in the early 70s when it was the A& W. Nothing much has changed.. which is a good thing. Great dogs, their signature red sauce, and real draft A&W rootbeer. read more

I like this place a lot. When a hot dog stand serves Kogels hot dogs....they are already going up on my list. But it's just a simple little stand. If you ever are just craving a hot dog this is going to be the best bet as far as places in Grand Blanc go. read more

I can not think of a restaurant that I have visited more in my life. Remember mowing laws to make cash so we could get dogs and a half gallon of root beer...if you are looking for a good place for hot dogs, this is it! read more

Love this place, love the atmosphere,love the owner! She always treats us like family when we go there. We love HDS!

I've eaten here all my life. The best hotdogs. The best red sauce. I crave them all winter when it's closed.

Great dog with their special sauce. The Root Beer is the old fashion tasting stuff like the old A&W style. Yummy

Iv been coming here forever and I love everything. The pulled pork is mine and my cousins favorite, the rest of my family is obsessed with the hot dogs but I gave 4 stars because the owner is super rude every time me and my mom go she never smiles always has an attitude but I also go for the food not for her so 4 stars for the food. read more

Always great! !! Long time grand blanc staple. I hope/pray they never go away. I buy the red sauce and use it through the winter when they are closed. Not quite the same. But close until spring. Thank you sooooo much for remaining in business. :-) read more

Disappointed. This is one of my favorite places to visit when coming to grand Blanc. Not like it used to be. Buns were stale and not steamed. Very little red sauce. read more

A long standing Grand Blanc institution goes south. Apparently, owners sold out. No longer serving Kogels Vienna's and using some cheap coney sauce, if you can call it that. A 30+ year tradition is no more. read more

The HOT DOG STAND Grand Blanc, MI. I use to eat here all the time. I stopped in today and got my usual and it was the worst I have ever had. They did not have their normal Koegel Vienna hot dogs. These were the worst hot dogs I have ever had. They tasted like the little hot dogs you get in the can that are soaked in god knows what. They were small. They were so bad after eating a half dog I threw out all the rest of them. I was very disappointed at this and had I been closer I would have turned around and went back and complained. I would NOT recommend anyone going back to this place until they get the Koegel Vienna's back. I almost got sick even eating that crap they were serving today. It has been 4 hours now and I am still burping up that crap. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed as this was a great place to eat. read more
