I'm a hot dog guy and i like checking out new (to me) spots. This is the location in Elon. It was bright and very clean and the staff snd waitress were very nice, friendly, and helpful. I ordered the two dogs and fries combo. The fried we great, the dog OK, the chili however was very thick and seemed like something right iut of Hormel can. Several truckers stopped there and ordered the daily special which was BBQ Chicken with sides etc. It looked really good and they were certainly enjoying it. This is the "no sign" protocol. You order take out at the counter but if eating in you grab a table and wait for a staff member to take your order. I'd definitely go back for lunch to try something else but not for the hot dogs. read more

Skid's II - Hot Dogs Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

We ordered 2 combos with block cheese baskets. I haven't ate here in a long time but we got it to go. There were no cheese in any of the combos and the tator tots were cold and not fresh. So glad one of us got fries. I called up there just to let them know I wasn't coming back and I didn't want anything for free. As soon as they answered he was trying to ask me about order and I could hear some arguing in background . But the hot dogs were delicious the chilli was delicious just missing the cheese. read more

It was pretty confusing. I went up the counter and told them I was dining in and wanted to see the menu. There's one old one taped to the pay table. Several minutes later I'm told to take a seat and someone would take my order. Several minutes pass and I see all sorts of people passing by. None said a word to me. Then a lady asks if I'm waiting to pick up and I told her I was dining in. The menu itself is pretty basic. I def misread some things. I told her I wanted a cheese steak and she said they have cheese steak hoagies. I also ordered a plain burger. Can't expect much for $2.35 so I was going with the flow to see if the specialty burgers would be worth ordering. The food came and I was not impressed. I got a very tiny burger and a pretty basic store-bought bun. The cheese steak was a smash burger with American cheese. It was not a classic cheesesteak but a steakish burger with cheese. It came with a plate full of fries. Everything came out pretty lukewarm and without any type of seasoning so I doused my food in catch-up and hot sauce. I was starving this point, so I ate when I could and pretty much left the buns. The tea was super strong. I would go for a soda next time. I got unsweetened, so it seemed more like an afterthought drink than something freshly prepared. I was not expecting a lot based on the prices, but it's not anywhere I would go again. Service was pretty much not there. The server spent more time with other customers. I did not even get as much as a smile from her. It was hard to distinguish, who was working and who was a customer because everyone was walking back-and-forth. The man at the register seemed friendly enough. Not once was I asked how the meal was. I don't think I would go back. There was nothing special about the food or ambiance. Had the service been good then I might have tried again. The place wasn't exactly clean but it wasn't terrible. People were standing are around and could have tied it up in between customers instead of playing on their phones. The ice machine had a big sign on it that said keep closed, but it was open right by a door. You can see the ice melting. Not a place for me. The search for a good cheesesteak and burger continues read more

Visited Skid's during COVID time so I placed an order curbside and took lunch to go. The woman who took my order was friendly and the food was ready quickly. The menu is large but I knew what I was there for. I ordered a hot dog with chili, slaw, and mustard and an order of tater tots. The hot dog was good the chili was a little sweet which I liked. The tater tots were great. Very crispy. All in all, very good. I look forward to returning. It's an easy visit off the highway for those passing through Burlington on 40. read more

We received a gift certificate from skids 2 - the sign at this restaurant says skids 2 but they would not honor the certificate boo!

This place has been around forever, it seems, started by the Skidmore Family back in the 50's, I guess. Nothing fancy here, just a Hot Dog/Hamburger joint with a few plates, a variety of sandwiches, salads, and even Spaghetti. The interior is worn and tired looking, but the place is clean. I'd stick to the sandwiches - they are generally good, generally a nice value. The Cheeseburger ($2.20) is a very good cafe style burger, meaning it is smaller than some burger. The taste of the one here is nice. The Hot Dog is really, really good here, and a real bargin at $1.69. This is a classic Southern Chili Dog, with a red weiner, great tasting chili, and a gooey bun. The Chopped BBQ Sandwich ($3.50) is nice, though definitely not cooked in house. It probably is Hursey BBQ's commercial product - ironic, since Hursey's Restaurant is right across th street, literally. The Fish Sandwich ($2.99) is not a memorable taste of the ocean,and I'd pass. Most of their sandwches are offered in a basket, which simply adds FFs. I'd pass on those as well, they are pretty bad. The single Hot Dog Basket goes for $2.69, which means you're paying a $1 for some really bad fries. The Grilled Cheese ($1.95) is good, but then again, it is hard to screw that sandwich up. We'll stop in again. read more

Love Skids for many years . Can t beat the service, food and prices . Alwaysstuck with ordering the hamburger baskets but I've been craving hot dogs lately so I looked at the reviews and now I'm planning on heading back this weekend to get me some hot dogs and try that can't wait read more

If you don't like there food something is wrong with your taste buds . read more

2 dog All the Way (ATW) basket today which is all I come here for. The dogs are red and and the toppings are appropriate and as expected. They are portioned just right not to make a mess. The bun is very softy (steamed) and the slaw has a little sweetness to it that goes well with the bite of the onions. The Pepsi is served on the crumbled style ice which is best to me over cubes (wow, I reviewed on ice ) in styrofoam cups :( I am a fan of crinkle cut fries since my parents raised me in a bowling alley. But I have to say that these fries are pretty crappy; meaty, yes as they should be, but mushy as they should not be. I load them with ketchup to ease the pain. I think it's $6 well spent. The decor is dated, in this case that's cool. Some music instead of the 19" tv filling my ear with talk shows would be much better. This is a place that I like even with its shortcomings. I will always come back. read more

A great "mom and pop" establishment that has been around for over 30 years. This place has a great local community environment, it keeps things simple and runs like a finely tuned engine. The staff works together like family and the customers that I observed, seemed to really appreciate that. The menu is outstanding and reflects prices from the "80's". The food is made with quality, care and precision, who could ask for more... read more

Great family owned restaurant known em for years. Love the grilled chicken basket and great lemonade!

Up from Florida visiting family and hadn't eaten at Skid's since I live here decades ago. Still a good selection and comfortable atmosphere. Service was exceptional and between us had several dishes and was great all the way around. Gyro was top shelf. Would highly recommend stopping by whenever you're nearby and enjoy some Greek leaning home style eating. read more

I would give them zero stars if possible. I would not recommend eating here. Sat down for about 20 minutes and waited to be served on...never once got acknowledged. Another family comes in and as soon as they sat down a server went and took their order. read more

Food is always good. Owner is super nice. We try to go there as much as we can, the wait staff is super friendly and the food is always served prompt and delicious. This place has been here for ever and I remember that a US President was in town in the 90s and ate here so if the secret service declared it a good place to go, then it indeed is. read more

I usually enjoy recieving decent service and mostly accurate call-in orders from Skids on North Church st. I was closer to the South Church st. location this time and did not get nearly the same quality service. My food was warm (not hot) and the order was only half correct. I'm sure they'll do better in the future but for now my review stands. read more

Only been here once but for under 6$ I got a BBQ sandwich , loaded w yummy NC chopped BBQ, standard crinkle cut fries (hot and crispy) and slaw on the side (fresh and tasty). Eat in or take out, old style greasy diner, but service was extremely fast and efficient and food was great. Just wish they had put a little container of NC BBQ sauce in my bag as the BBQ needed a little. read more

Nasty! I've given them a few chances but everytime I eat here I get sick and so does my family.... Yuck!!!

I have lived in Burlington almost my whole life. That place by far has the best hot dogs in Alamance county. I recommend it to anyone who want good old fashion American food. One of my favorite place to eat in Burlington. If you are paying for 2 people, your bill will never be over $20. read more

Great food and service. We go to Skid's for the hamburgers, they make everything fresh to order. Never do you have to worry about getting anything cold. Love this place.... read more

I eat here regularly and the staff don't even have to take my order. The place is regularly packed at lunch. I've not had anything bad, but I am happiest with the basics. Portions are generous. Service is attentive. Great place for kids. Get the hot fudge sundae to finish up. read more

If you want simple, down to earth, no drama, grill food- this is the place to go!!! The BEST onion rings I've ever had!!

LOVE this place I had a gyro that was very tasty. The waitress was very nice and kind. I think she was the best part. My family and I stopped for lunch. The kids had nothing but good things to say. My husband had only on complaint about the all the way hotdogs, they were a liltle salty. He also had the chuck wagon which was very flavorful. Prices weren't bad at all either. Will definitely return. read more

Staff is always friendly and helpful. Can't go wrong with the basics like hotdogs and cheeseburgers. Fries are nothing special but I would recommend getting tator tots instead. Ranch is great and sweet tea is perfect. The building isn't a ritz carlton but it's serves its purpose as a fast food grease provider! read more

One of the best restaurants in Burlington, period. It's nothing fancy, just a classic hotdog and burger joint, although they have much more to offer. Honestly, they have the best milkshakes in town. Last time I went, I got a small pizza, mozzarella sticks, and fries for $9; you can't beat that deal. Quality food, friendly service, low prices, and an old-school feel is what puts this restaurant at the top of the food chain. There's a reason Skids II has regulars. read more
