Stopped in between the holidays and this place hit exactly what I was looking for. Classic hot dogs done right -- toasted bun, solid chili, and that perfect snap when you bite in. Grabbed an apple pie and a cold Pepsi and ate outside on a sunny afternoon, could not have asked for better. What really stood out was the staff. I called ahead just to make sure they were open, and they were just as friendly on the phone as they were in person. You can tell they take pride in the little things and treat everyone like a regular. Heads up: cash only, so come prepared. Worth it. I will absolutely be back. read more

P.B.'s Takeout - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

I was craving a hotdog and clearly were so many others as this place was busy! A lot of the area seems to come here for a good classic hot dog and after having my first bite, I see why. The bun was so buttery and toasted, and the chili and cheese topped it off! There's limited indoor seating as well as outdoor, but don't let that stop you from trying this spot. They have a great rating and only accept cash so make sure you come prepared. I will definitely be back the next time I'm craving a hot dog. read more

I made a quick stop at the mall and needed a quick bite. I didn't want any mall food and found PB's takeout out on Yelp being close by. Fortunately I had cash on my as the reviews warned this was cash only. A little hole in the wall that can easily be missed so make sure your GPS is on. This is a small building with no tables or chairs inside. They do have some seating at a little counter, otherwise there's a few picnic tables outside. The burgers looked tempting but I went for the classic hotdog: mustard, onions, chili, and slaw. And the best was the buns were well toasted. I wish the chili had a little more seasoning but it was just plain hotdog chili. I'd definitely stop by here for a quick bite and have already recommended to friends. Quick, cheap, and good. read more

PBs will forever be one of my favorites! The buttered and grilled buns, the toasty hotdogs, and the incredible wings (they take 20 mins but are worth it) will always be my go to! Service is fast & kind! Small location and only takes cash! read more

A lot of people says that PB's Takeout has the best hot dogs in the city. I would put them in my top 5 but not the top. The hotdog is all beef and good. The chili and slaw are homemade is a plus. The buns are toasted but if you are getting it to go you never get the full benefit of that because it is wrapped in parchment paper and that makes the bread soggy. They are also cash only as well so keep that in mind. Great spot though and they are always busy but fast service as well. read more

This fast food hotdog place was mentioned in the April Our State Magazine on best 12 places in North Carolina. Winston-Salem was favored by the hot dog guy. Who has eaten dogs in 43 states over 12 years. So far he has visited 775 places. So back to my review I wanted to try it out. It is across the street from Food Lion on Stratford Road in W-S. IMO I was disappointed that to me it was just average. Dog with slaw, chili with fries on the side with Cheerwine on the rocks. Plus the soda was in a small paper container. Meal came to a tad over $10. So hey or hay everyone has their own opinion where how like their dog. Try it out. 3 1/2 stars overall read more

It's a little spot on Hawthorne that serves up some of the best hot dogs and burgers in town! The only down fall( for me) is that they only take cash, so if your a person whose like me who doesnt always carry cash on them, then You'll need to make an additional stop by an atm or bank, other than that they're delicious with all your favorite add ons to your bruger or hot dog, making every bite just right. While their hot dogs and burgers are the stars, they do offer other options too. Seating is limited-- small sit in area inside and a few picnic tables outside, so plan ahead, especially during the lunch rush. Parking is shared with neighboring businesses, but trust me, it's worth the effort, but again, Just don't forget to bring cash--If you're looking for a quick, satisfying lunch that hits the spot, PB Takeout is the place to be. read more

As a teacher on summer break, I have some free time during June and July. Last summer my husband and I somehow ended up on our very own "Tour de Frank" in Winston Salem and surrounding areas. The one hotdog that topped our list was PB's, therefore our kid-free date night last night was sitting at the counter/window of PB's chowing down on a delicious 2 Hot Dog Combo with crispy crinkle cut fries and a Diet Dr. Pepper. The hot dogs are so so good. As other reviews mentioned, they're not messy! I can't stand a hotdog that falls apart, drips on me, or I have to eat with a fork. This one holds up and is so tasty! Honestly, I also love the fries. They are frozen, and probably from the local food service distributor that many around here use, but dang if they aren't good. Hot and crispy, dunked in ketchup...you can't beat it! We sat inside this time and enjoyed thumbing through the "Our State" magazine article about a man's "hotdog tour"-his very own Tour de Frank. If you're in the area, give this place a try. It's worth it! read more

P.B.'s Takeout - 2 Hot Dog Special, Regular (which means all the way, no onions) - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

This establishment is like a relic of old school quick hamburger/hotdog joints. The interior is nice and clean - everyone behind the counter was super friendly and patient. Don't forget to bring cash! You can customize the cheeseburger (with mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion). I committed a cardinal sin and did not order a hot dog. I will do so next time - because I will for sure be back. The chili cheese fries were amazing - and hit the spot. Not too soggy, and just enough crispy to hold up the cheese and chili. Portion sizes were perfect too. Also - they were out of wings and tater tots, might be for a while it sounds like. read more

My last experience with this place was during the COVID-era, and as a I mentioned in my review, I felt I needed a more normal experience at a later date because things just seemed off (they were, in so many ways). Well thankfully, we are in the after-times now, and I was able to return to P.B.s for a proper evaluation, and now, I have to say it is one of my favorite hot dogs in the area. Two hot dogs all the way for me. They grill and butter the bun, which, is basically a prerequisite for me now if you're going to crack my top hot dogs list. The frank tasted different to me this time, they may have had supply issues during COVID and had to make a switch, this one had a much better flavor. I think their cole slaw is one of my favorites in the area, it's not heavy on mayo, keeps things from getting soggy and provides that slightly vinegary crisp. The chili, while not topping my list, is meaty and again, doesn't make a sloppy mess of things, i don't like a runny chili. I got fries this time, and they're the crinkle kind. I know people have opinions, they were well cooked, but nothing special. Which is fine. I'm here for hot dogs, full stop. You can now sit inside again if you want, but PB's is best enjoyed on a sunny day either outside at their picnic tables or in a nearby park. I'll return again and again for a top 5 Triad hot dog experience. read more

We were in the area and had seen many positive reviews for P.B's and decided to stop in for lunch. We had driven by before and knew how tiny it was. With just about 15 barstools and counters lining the interior walls there was a short line of customers waiting to place their orders at the counter. The menu is simple and consists of hotdogs, burgers, tots and wings. We inquired if their chili had beans and since it didn't my wife and I both decided to order a hotdog "all the way" with modifications. She ordered hers with no mustard and I ordered mine with no slaw. I also ordered tots with mine. Our total was less than $10. As others have said they are a cash only establishment. We waited a few minutes until our order number was called and went outside. We decided to have a seat at one of the two picnic tables. We both thought the hotdogs were okay but nothing special. However, they did hit the spot. If you are looking for fast, cheap, and easy, P.B's is a good choice. With chili, onions, slaw and mustard the "all the way" has the makings for a yummy lunch. This place has been an establishment in the Ardmore area for many years and certainly has a following. They are reasonably priced, provide quick service and are relatively easy in and out. They do not have a drive through but the time was just about the same. This is virtually no comparison to most sit down restaurants but it is however, a great place to grab a quick bite. My wife also inquired if their corndogs were hand dipped after spotting them on the menu but was told they were frozen. read more

I have heard about this Winston-Salem staple for most of my life, and I finally had the opportunity to try it. It did not disappoint. The traditional hot dog was great. It was exactly what I wanted and expected: a simple hot dog with fries and a drink. While my meal was good, there are some drawbacks to this establishment. One, the parking is fairly limited. Two, they have a minimal menu (basically only Hot dogs, hamburgers, wings, fries, and tater tots) and are cash only. I did not know this until I was at the counter, but thankfully, I had cash on hand. To boot, this meal was CHEAP--less than $9, which is a deal in this economy. I enjoyed my experience, but some customers may not like the drawbacks I mentioned above. read more

P.B.'s Takeout - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

PB's Takeout is my favorite (and the best) hot dog joint in Winston. I have tried most of the Yelp recommendations for hot dog joints and polled some locals, and PB's consistently comes up as #1. I come here once a week as a treat. The service is always fast and friendly. Everyone is a well-oiled machine, from the cashier to the person answering the phone to the line cooks. Everything flows. The ambiance is divey but clean and in line with some of the older lunch counter establishments in the area. I often sit at the outdoor tables or inside when I'm not in a rush, and I have always had a pleasant experience. I always order the two hot dog special, all the way with fries and a Diet Dr. Pepper, which only sets me back just under $12 with tax. It has NEVER disappointed me. Every dog topping is in perfect harmony and consistent every time. The crinkle-cut fries are always hot and plentiful, and I'm never left feeling too stuffed or still hungry. NOTE: They only accept cash and do not have an ATM. If you want a solid dog, great service and a great price come by for a delicious lunch or dinner. read more

This is a great little spot with awesome food. They have everyday combos to make it a little easier to order, look for the sign because it's easy to miss. The service is fast and friendly. You must get drink refills from the man at the counter. There a three picnic tables outside which is nice when the weather is right. Parking may be a little tricky, I ended up parking at Arthur's Cafe next door. read more

PB's is a local favorite for hot dogs, burgers, fries, and the like. The food is fresh off the grill which is definitely a high point. I got myself a bacon cheese burger with the works and although it was tasty, it was nothing special. They are known for their hot dogs and in hindsight, I should have tried that instead. You order at the counter and it comes out pretty quickly. You can choose to eat at the little bar/counter, but it can get cramped if they get busy. They also have a small outside seating area, which was perfect for a cool spring day. If you want something quick, basic, and tasty, PB's is the spot for you. If you are looking for something a little more adventurous, you might want to skip out on this place. read more

Got the hankerin' for some classic chili dogs! PB's is a Winston-Salem institution. Don't expect anything fancy, just some great dogs and fries. You will see folks from every economic strata here. You can eat indoors or outdoors at the picnic tables. Highly recommend for when you need great dogs! read more

P.B.'s Takeout - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

I've been to PB 's before and always got the burger . This time I wanted to try the hot dogs because I heard that's what they are famous for. I'm pretty simple and only like ketchup on my hot dogs. So I ordered two with ketchup and an order of fries. I must say these hot dogs were pretty amazing. Definitely the best hot dog I've had since moving to Winston-Salem. This restaurant is is in the Ardmore community with a bunch of really cool little shops, coffee shop, and neighborhood grocery store right nearby. The service is great as I think I got them only about 10 minutes after I ordered. If you're in the mood for a really good hot dog, definitely check this place out. read more

Still making a pretty good hot dog, these folks are. But the accoutrements are getting a bit skimpy. They are being more frugal with the slaw, chili, and chopped onions than I recall. Nor were there any fried pies for sale during my last visit. And I do wish the choice of beverages were more diverse. I have occasionally been known to buy a drink across the street at Food Lion rather than limit myself to a few Pepsi products. Actual score: somewhere between 3 and 3.5 stars. read more

Don't forget PB's is cash only! Normally I am always satisfied at PB's but for whatever reason the food was a bit of a miss this past time. The positives: the chili cheese tots are EVERYTHING. Negatives: the hot dog was a little... discolored. And had a funny taste. I normally love the burgers too, but this one seemed like it had been cooked just a little too long. Kind of dry. This is the only "meh" experience I've had here. Gonna have to try again soon to make sure this was a fluke, hence the higher rating. read more

P.B.'s Takeout - a hand holding a cheeseburger and french fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

See all

P.B.'s is a friendly, fast and casual neighborhood take out spot serving up old fashioned burgers and hot dogs since 1987. Inside, you'll find old fashioned bar seating lining the perimeter of the small interior. There are also a few picnic tables outside that offer additional covered seating. I tried a double cheeseburger for the first time recently and I am not making this up - the burger was stacked SO thick it was honestly hard to get my mouth open wide enough to take a bite! That just tells you how thick the burger patties are. I absolutely love their hot dogs because I grew up on this style of hot dog at the Tasty Freeze in my hometown not too far from here. The buttery buns wrap around the hot dog and toppings creating the perfect bite, every time. I love how P.B.'s is located in the heart of the Ardmore neighborhood which makes things so convenient to walk and grab lunch if you live in the area. I will never quit P.B.'s! read more

Top hot dog all the way & fries in WS! Easy in & out, easy parking. Picnic bench outdoor or counter inside seating.

I love a good hotdog! I especially love a good hole in the wall restaurant hotdog! This place definitely fit the bill! I got here right before closing, so hot dogs were the only thing available. No problem for me! That's what I came for! Hotdog was good, chili and slaw tasty as well! I definitely recommend stopping here for a good hotdog! It is cash only so make sure you bring cash. read more

P.B.'s Takeout - Double-double chili cheese burger with chili cheese fries. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

The place is pretty much an ancient dump. The lines can be stupid long but waiting inside isn't any nicer than waiting outside. There is very limited and totally inadequate seating inside. But with the line wrapping around you will be surrounded by butts. After a lengthy wait you get to order. They got one person taking orders and also handling money. Its very slow. After waiting in line for 30 minutes or so, you pay what amounts to a fair bit of money for fast food. And they hand you a receipt with a number on it. When your order is ready, they will call you. Because it's so crowded inside you wanna go outside to wait. So you were at the mercy of the weather and other people who are waiting for their food. The food itself is a bit disappointing. There's really nothing very special and I've had better almost every similar place I've been. There must be a dozen better places in Winston-Salem. I'd recommend pretty much any of them over this. read more

The hot dogs were piping hot temperature, plenty of toppings and lots of flavor. It may have been the best visit to PB's in my 25 years in Winston-Salem. Time to bump them up from my previous 3 star experience. Great job on the dogs today... especially that buttery, toasted bun! read more

P.B.'s Takeout - Two dog combo! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Service was fine, but the hot dogs were gray, buns steamed and soggy and chili on the fries greasy as if it were dumped from a can. It's been there forever, so people might suggest out of nostalgia. read more

Cute little spot to that can be easily overlooked. I've passed by several times with the intentions to give it a try but always forgot about it when it came time to consider options for dinner. I finally had a chance to eat here and was impressed! Excellent hot dogs, which is what they are known for. I love that the buns are toasted also!! It really makes a difference! Not only was the food good but it was very affordable. Make sure to bring cash though! One of the few places that still does cash only that I'm aware of. If you are looking for a restaurant that has traditional items like burgers, hot dogs and fries and aren't particular about seating arrangements or aesthetics, then this is the place to go. I hear they have good wings too which I plan to try next time around. There is a few picnic tables outside and a small dining area inside. Free refills, (they serve Pepsi products) but I always opt for sweet tea which is sweetened just right. Chili and slaw is made fresh daily, which is a must for your hot dog! Super friendly staff also! Take a step back in time and give Pb's takeout a try :) Also....Not open super late so it's probably best to eat here for lunch or early dinner. Closed on Sundays and Monday's as well. read more

This CASH ONLY business has some of the best Burgers in town. Thick hearty beef cooked on the flat grill that probably gives them that seasoned flavor of years of hot dogs & burgers being cooked on them. Make sure you get a side of their perfectly cooked fries, not too crunchy on outside and soft on inside. Only complaint I have is I need more fries! You would think their food would be overly greasy but it is not. You can get your items with what ever extras you want on them like pickles & onions. Free refills on your fountain drinks to wash it all down. The place is small with limited indoor seating and 3 picnic tables outside. Amble private parking so you have no excuse not to visit......just don't forget the cash! Staff is always courteous and friendly. read more
