All the hotdogs on the menu are $8 each except the French Dip $9 and the Carolina $10. When making it a combo (add FF and a drink) add $7 more. My total was $23 for 2 hotdogs, a drink and a FF. The NYC had onions and sauerkraut, the Local had blended queso w/ground beef. The Philly has peppers, onions and provolone, and the Chicago had veggies. All the dogs tasted good cuz they're Nathan's, the bread used was fresh, FF were tasty, the wieners could be hotter (temperature wise) upon serving. And there could be more ground beef in the queso on the Local dog. The sodas have the good ice...soft airy crunchy. The menu offers other items, chicken tenders, sliders, grilled cheese, frito pie, salads, deviled eggs, fried cheese curds, fried pickles, etc They have several beer choices, frose', wine and frozen margaritas (made with wine) Connected to restaurant is their snow cone place.

What a gloomy day that wanted to be rainy but couldn't quite make the cut. What to do to bring…read morespirits up and sunshine (mental anyway) in? We decided on a trip to Local Dogs. I'm sort of embarrassed to admit we hadn't been. We watched Ashley and Michael Cordray transform a vintage filling station into a restaurant on Restoring Galveston and thought that they did an excellent job of it. But a hot dog, kid/family restaurant? Not really our vibe, or so I thought. Then I looked at the menu, read some reviews, and considered the importance of supporting local and trying something new. I mean, why not? Azar (my niece), Dan (my partner in dine), and I agreed on a dog day afternoon. Overall, we all agreed it was a good call. Azar: the Philly, fried okra, and a dirty Dr Pepper Dan: the Chicago with a veggie dog, fries, and a cherry Pepsi Yours truly: an NYC with a veggie dog, cheese curds, and Freakshow chardonnay in a very attractive can The verdict? Across the board, very positive. The only, and I mean the only, thing that was a bit of a miss was the veggie dog, and honestly I was not surprised. Veggie is not easy to pull off. Dan and I do not eat mammal so we were delighted that Local Dogs offered this option. We have had a lot of luck with Impossible meats. I don't know what this one was. It was okay, but texturally and flavor wise, it was a little off. Certainly edible, but not quite there. Everything else hit the spot. High notes: the okra! After a very light dusting of salt, it became the star of the show. So good! The fries were everything fries should aspire to be. Not hard, not soggy, but just right. Azar's dirty Dr Pepper had her smiling. The takeaway? We will definitely be back, rain or shine. The layout is inviting and comfortable, and the service was friendly. I think local, and visiting dogs, would really enjoy the patio area, too. Kudos to the Cordrays!

Cruising in a golf cart on the main strip by the beach? Sure!…read more Never did it before so let's goooo! The staff was friendly and it was easy to reserve. Got 2 hours for 80$ which was a deal compared to the other rental places around. We rented out a 6 seater which was perfect for the fam bam. The max speed was 35mph so there were a few streets that was off limits due to minimum speed of 40mph or above, a map was provided to show the restrictions. A lot of Galveston Island could still be occupied with the golf cart. We stayed mostly on Seawall (street by the ocean) as it was the most scenic route to us. Must drive on the right side as that is the slow lane. Our cart had a newly placed speaker that had bluetooth capability and we really enjoyed bumping our tunes. The whole family enjoyed the ride and definitely marks a memory for a different experience. When we returned the cart, we wanted to purchase a funnel cake but they said the kitchen was closed. A worker came out and offered us an order of deep fried Oreos (6 came in an order) for free since someone didn't pick it up, and they were delicious! Thanks for the great service! Will keep this spot in mind if we return!

It was one of my favorite places for my parents to take me. Today, it's Tikiman that has inherited the space, and their shaved ice is also quite delicious. It's hard to say which is better because as a kid, my taste was far from refined. But in my memory, those snow cones were the greatest gift on Earth. Tikiman was very good, but did not live up to my impossible, nostalgia memory. I ordered a snow cone with wild cherry, coconut and mango. The menu is huge, so I'm not sure if I remember any of their options containing ice cream. If they do, that's what I'd get next time. If they don't, when not?

Now, this has to be one of the softest shaved ice, I have ever had! It definitely hits different on these hot summer days plus the flavors can't be beat! They have some of the best combinations of flavors with your choice of whip cream and added sprinkles. And how they are presented is so cute! Each snow cone is given in a cute soft flower appearing cup with a unique butterfly with it and a cool spoon that changes colors when the spoon hits the ice. Best summer treat by far! Can't wait for them to come back.

So this summer, I made sure to visit right before the buzzer: we went on the very last day they were open. But they were definitely not just winding down for their last few hours - it was like a party here. When I first walked up, I was told by a very enthusiastic, and very out of breath girl, that I could play against one of the staff members in a game of pickleball or connect 4 and win a free snow cone. I had my son with me and couldn't really lose sight of him while involved in a competitive pickleball game, so they suggested connect 4. They even gave my son something to color while I played. Well, I blew the game and lost. But they still gave me a free shaved ice anyway. And by the way, it was awesome. I will definitely not be waiting until the last day of summer to visit next year. They have approximately 487 flavor options and they use blue bell ice cream if you so choose to add that. We sat at a picnic table and went to town on our deliciousness as we watched people playing games, listening to music and living their best summer lives. I now understand why the reviews are so great here and am looking forward to May already!
