The ladies of Brunswick are really knocking it outta the park when it comes to customer service!
Background
A trusted friend recommended this spot, so I decided to give them a try while I was in town.
Exterior
They are located near FLETC in the same plaza with Sally's Cop Shop and Pizza Hut. There's lots of free parking.
Interior
The interior is pretty barebones but the space is neat and clean.
Customer Service
I arrived about 35 minutes to closing. As soon as I hit the threshold, I was greeted with a big smile and a cheerful, 'Welcome to Rockstar!' I apologized for stopping in so close to closing time and explained that I just wanted to check out the menu. The associate (who turned out to be Logan, the owner) told me that there would be no problem taking my order and that "I was the customer and they'd been waiting on me." I was so charmed by her warm and welcoming attitude.
Price / Value
Regular hot dogs are $4.50 and specialty dogs are $6.00. I got a combo (regular dog, fries and a drink) for $9.00, but wanted tap water so technically $8.00 (fries are $3.50) before tax. I think the items are priced well. For those they think the prices are steep, I say keep in mind, these aren't just regular ole hot dogs, these are pretty elevated hot dogs.
Food
They had a ton of hot dogs to choose from. Logan told me that they're getting new menus because they just added five new dogs - among them are a cheese dog and a low country dog topped with real crab meat! I can't eat shellfish, but I love the sound of it. Lol. I asked about the various dogs and discovered the Tina G and and Christine BG are so named because that's the way their namesakes, her cousin and Mom, respectively, take their dogs. One of the days I'm gonna have a menu item named after me at somebody's establishment!
I opted to go with a slaw dog with fries. Logan gave me a complimentary dog as well. I forgot to tell them no yellow mustard on the slaw dog.
The hot dog was DELICIOUS! They did everything right. The bun was steamed. The dog, itself, had a snappy exterior and the generous topping of scratch-made coleslaw was coarse, cold and tangy - the perfect accompaniment. The french fries (shoestring) were hot, crispy and dusted with the perfect amount of salt.
I had a chance to chat more while my dogs were being prepared and I discovered that in addition to hot dogs and Italian sausages, they have burgers and, as of today, they have chicken sandwiches. The description sounded heavenly (hand-breaded chicken breast filet, topped with lettuce, pickles and Tzatziki sauce). She also reminded me that they have breakfast (starting at 7:30am) and the menu includes homemade pancakes. I saw that another reviewer had mentioned various specials on Thursdays and she explained that each Thursday they have a special dish - like last week's was red beans and rice.
I also noticed that they have a vegan dog.
Overall
Both the food and the customer service were outstanding!
I will definitely try to stop back by to try some of their other offerings (the #11 Italian sounds tasty) before I leave town. Highly recommend! read more
