A hidden gem in Charlevoix! We were so glad we stumbled on this food truck when looking for a place…read moreto grab lunch. We opted for the loaded tots, classic cheddar, and Carolina BBQ mac and cheese. Everything is fresh and made to order -- with generous portions for sharing. This isn't artificial mac and cheese, it's the real deal! Wholeheartedly recommend if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed!

We heard it was amazing Mac-n-cheese and huge portions. Grabbed a couple orders and hit the park…read more First off, it was super oily. It was not creamy, just oily. Pretty gross. Secondly, it was very bland. I make homemade Mac-n-cheese for my kids all the time, and they both told me mine was better. For $8, I can make a way better batch AND use good cheese like smoked Gouda and some yummy Parmesan or something. Pass this up and go and get yourself some pork belly and fries from the other food truck

So crispy they could double as Olympic gymnastic rings (if you could stop eating them long enough to try). The vibes are right up my alley.. there's a shaggy shepherd "watch dog" who clearly runs the place from his post on the deck. Don't be fooled, he's not just there for security... he's making sure you don't drop any fries. The person who took our order was hilarious! 10/10 would let her roast me while handing over my food again. The Lions game was playing next door and we were able to watch while still eating outside. If you're looking for good food, good laughs, and a side of doggy cuteness, this is the spot.

I love hotdogs and like to think of myself as an expert. I will drive hundreds of miles just to try one. In this instance, I drove 200 miles round trip, just to try Toby's Windy City ( Chicago dog ). Also ordered was a chili dog for my friend and tour guide and a plain, no bun dog for my friends dog, which there was no charge for! My friend and his dog gobbled theirs right down! Me, I was trying to get my phone to work so I could take pictures. No luck with that . Anyway, I would call my Chicago dog exceptional with just a few things needing to be done. 1. Toast that bun! It keeps it from getting soggy. Mine totally fell apart with the first bite. 2. It was on a regular bun not poppy seed. Maybe that's why it was called a Windy City dog 3. The dog could have been a bit hotter for me, I like mine well done. With those few things, I would still have to say that Toby's Dog House, is in for another visit from me!

I think they're all pork based, so if you're not a pork hot dog person, this isn't the spot for you, but they're delicious. They have a small little parking lot, and they're extremely efficient. You order everything at the counter, and if you want hot dogs to go for an affordable lunch, this is the spot! They even have some cute t-shirts, hats and other cute merch. I kind of wanted a hat, but said no... maybe next time.
