    Great dog
    Fred B.

    After visiting another favorite, old school hot dog joint recently, Kermit's, I was thinking about another such place, Pulliam's! John S. Pulliam started this hot dog joint in 1910, it has been owned by just two families over the ensuing 114 years. I ordered an All The Way dog and a Cheerwine. This remains very good hot dog, among the best in the area, and at $3.10 it is online with the competition. I'll continue to visit from time to time, like always.

    Sloppy good chili slaw dog. Good red pork/beef dog but not a Carolina dog.

    Great Dog. Take Away Only or In-Car Dining....we opted for In-Car Dining. Pretty good chili slaw hot dog. Would rate it a solid 4 nothing more, nothing less. Ate in the car. This is a very small place with a very small ordering area. We ordered, got our food and ate in the small parking lot. Steady stream of customers which is a good sign. We would stop by again but only if in the area. Not sure if they're bbq...no smell what so ever. Service is very friendly.

    Pulliams is an institution and I can see why. I've ordered the sandwich hotdog combo, which comes with chips and a drink. The hot dog is worth the drive. That was my favorite item. The bun was nicely toast and all of the toppings went well together. The bbq sandwich was pretty good. I liked the meat on its own without the slaw. The staff was very nice. The building is old, but fits the vibe of the place. I also tried one of the famous fried pies. It was excellent and would highly recommend them.

    I finally made my way to Pulliam's for their acclaimed hot dog. I have had many people tell me I should try their hot dogs, so I guess I should've listened sooner. The location itself is nothing special, and you'd miss it if you weren't looking for it. It's just an old country store with a Cheerwine logo; it doesn't even have the name visible on the front of the building. There's no place to sit inside, but it was clear that locals hang out in there and talk. The menu is very modest too; they have hot dogs, barbecue sandwiches, and bagged chips and sodas. I got two hot dogs all the way and enjoyed them in my car. The service was instant. Y'ALL... when I say this is the best hot dog I've ever had, I mean it! The bun was buttered, it was a pork hot dog, AND it was loaded with delicious slaw and chili. It met all of my expectations for the perfect hot dog. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Pulliam's is better than the old country store back towards my neck of the woods which I personally thought was the best hot dog! No doubt the best hot dog in Winston, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find much better anywhere else. Hot dogs are my favorite food, and I think the Pulliam's hot dog is genuinely my new favorite thing to eat!

    going to start out with an emphatic "I'm not from here and I might be doing this wrong..." because I'm not from here and I might be doing this wrong... For starters I'm good with odd red snappy sausages as long as they are but these mostly weren't. they certainly were red... but in a snapless mushy-meat-stick sort of way. granted, it was a miserable and overcast sort of day and that didn't help much, but still... and since "no fries, chips!" was amusing at Chicago's Billy Goat Tavern for the bigger part of a century before the turn of the century we'll let that go here too because, well, you know... history and tradition. pretty sure "napkins as sandwich wrap" is not a thing anywhere; hard to believe that a better option isn't available. I really want to like this place especially since it's totally old and storied but hot dogs shouldn't have to be like this... and since (almost) everyone gets a mulligan I'll try again if I'm near. it'll likely be chili and onions not the carolina way because I'm not really sure if I can trust alabaster slaw...?

    Hotdog all the way with cheese and cheerwine

    Our favorite hot dog hands down ever. They have perfected everything from the slaw to the chili to the toasted bun. We are hot dog people and have tried every place in and around Winston. This one is hands down the best! Hot dog all the way with cheese and a cheerwine in a bottle

    Crunch. Snap. Mmmm. Repeat. That's what eating a Pulliam's hot dog is like. That bun, that wonderfully, buttery, crusted bun grilled on a flat top that's been searing dogs since 1910. Heavenly. We each ordered our dogs all-the-way (is there really any other in NC)? Both the meat sauce and slaw complimented the delicious, snappy dog with streaks of char across it's bright red exterior. Next time I'm invited to the dance, I've found a new partner. Sorry, Lori. The verdict: drag your ass up to Old Walkertown Road in Winston-Salem and order up a mess of dogs all-the-way. Your cardiologist may frown but at least you're smiling. Trust me when I say "Give 'em a whirl." Go here.

Staff was super cool and making recommendations for food. I decided to order the large chicken Philly, which comes on a very large hoagie and made it a combo with tots and a drink. I took one bite of the chicken Philly and it melted into my mouth. I like it when the bread is soft and not hard. The flavor was perfect with cheese, peppers, and mayonnaise. The combo comes with either tots or fries. I chose tots and got a very large portion. I also tried the watermelon lemonade, which was phenomenal. The portion was definitely big enough to last me two meals. I couldn't pass up the larger sandwich for the price. A smaller one comes on a hamburger bun. Italy took a few minutes to get my food ready, which was nice considering I had to get it to go. There are several tables set up inside where people can enjoy the meal inside. This restaurant is inside of an old warehouse or school building. I definitely wanna go back and try everything on the menu.

It's not a big space, so it's best for 1-3 people, maybe 4 max. Most of their business is takeout, which honestly makes sense because the food comes out fast and fresh. They do have limited seating inside, but don't expect a large dining area. You order right at the counter, no fuss, very old-school and straightforward, which I love. Food-wise, they've got you covered morning through lunch: Breakfast with those classic, tots or fries Comfort food classics Burgers, Phillies, and other lunch staples that hit the spot Everything is simple, satisfying, and exactly what you want when you're craving comfort food. One thing to note: parking can be tricky. There isn't much dedicated parking, so you may have to park at nearby establishments and walk over. It's a small inconvenience, but totally worth it once you get your food. If you're looking for a no-frills, local spot that focuses on good food rather than aesthetics, this place is it. Definitely one of those "if you know, you know" kind of spots.

They have burgers, hot dogs, subs, breakfast sandwiches, other sandwiches including a fish one, and some good wings. I've had the chicken before and it is quite nice, good crunchy exterior, tender and moist inside. On this visit I opted for a hot dog and the regular cheeseburger. The hot dog is a good one, nice amount of a good tasting chili, and they now use chopped white onions rather than those awful red ones. At $2.69 this is a nice value, the cost in most places here is $3 to $4! The cheeseburger is solid as well, though at $6.90 it is not the value that the hot dog is. But they do offer the Wake Burger for $1 more that comes with double the meat and cheese! The burgers, and chicken, are cooked to order so it will take a little time.
