Chicago dog
Y-Danair N.

Fantastic! Parking is easy and staff were super nice and helpful. The hot dogs were great but honestly the fries were my favorite part (glad we ordered the large order). Extremely crispy and seasoned well. Food came out hot and ready in the blink of an eye. Def a place to grab a hot dog/fries for a quick stop if you're craving it! I ordered the chili dog and the chili was super classic. I would've smothered it in cheese and diced onions but we had to do some shopping after and I didn't want to subject any public toilets to me post-cheese.

Best Hotdogs in Charleston

I usually drive 45 minutes to get hotdogs from here! They honestly have the best hotdogs in Charleston! Great stop if you're on your way to Sullivans Island or IOP for drinks.

Chicago dog! The sport peppers are where it's at.

My co-worker brought in this amazing-looking egg salad sandwich for lunch and when I asked where it came from she said, "Skoogie's". I needed that sandwich, and headed there immediately after work, as they are only open 11-4. From the outside you get a beachside shake shack kinda vibe, and inside is all Chicago'ed out. I grew up watching WGN from Chicago, so I know the Empire Carpet phone number LOL There are a few tables as you enter and counter seating looking out the front window. The TV was loud as hell, with 2 old guys eating and watching it. Seems legit. The counter guy and the girl making the sandwiches were friendly and welcoming. I told them it was my first time and the guy pointed at the menu taped to the counter. I told him about the joyous egg salad and think he must have remembered the one he sold earlier because he smiled. I also ordered a Homewrecker with chili and onions, a dog with chili, cheese, and onions, and then pointed at the Chicago dog picture and said, "And one just like the picture! And a corndog." Before I could finish my Minute Maid lemonade, the nice girl handed me my bag with a smile. I can already tell I'll be back! Got the food home and bit into my pillowy, creamy egg salad sandwich. Bread so soft, flavor so mild, this is comfort food for sure. The corndog was a corndog. I think it was all-beef. You can't mess up a corndog. Later, my Chicago dog beckoned, and it was amazing! The pickle is mild, the sport peppers zingy, the tomato balancing it all out. Oh man, I need another one. Hubby's dogs were met with rave reviews, the sausage one firm and meaty and the beef dog just perfect. Chili was great, just the right amount of onion. He loves to eat the tubular meats, so we will definitely return.

Wow., what a hidden gem in MT-Pleasant! Tucked away behind Dunkin is this legendary Chicago style hot dog shop that not only has some of the best tasting dogs around the Charleston area. And some amazing friendly knowledgeable workers that some have been working here for over twenty years! This joint is very casual with some vintage Americana charm on the outside and the interior too. You can pretty much order your hotdog whichever way you tell them to make and with your choice of the small or larger size dogs....Side note: there is other food options on this simple menu and the hours are not friendly for you late night types but good for lunch and early afternoon only. Overall. It's my new goto fix for a quick yummy afternoon dog...kinda reminded me of some of the Midwest hole in the wall shops in Illinois/Indiana:)

Friendly cook!

When you are craving a big messy hotdog, you won't be disappointed! Fries are McDonalds style and hot and fresh! Yum!

In my 20s, skoogies was in a strip mall and we'd stop to get a hotdog and beer on the way home from the beach. In my 30s, I brought my husband here and later Skoogies closed and eventually reopened in an old McDonald's restaurant. It used to take the whole building. Now in my 50s I ventured back to Skoogies and brought my mom, who has never been. Skoogies still has its divey vibe and instead of taking the whole building, it's in the very back where I would imagine the McDonald's kitchen would have been. Everything has a sticky, greasy feel, but that's Skoogies. I ordered a classic Chicago dog and a coke (they no longer sell beer), and my mom got a chili dog and coke. We split some fries. Everything tasted great. Not exactly what I remembered but it hit the spot. I'm pretty sure there is a different owner but I'm not certain. The vibe is different but it's still Skoogies.

Hot dog with mustard, chili, slaw and onion!

This is one of our favorite lunch spots! The Italian beef, hot dogs and corn dogs are the best around!

People were cool and definitely nice. Hot dogs were terrific (chili cheese dog). Definitely the right place to go for a hot dog.

Cannot beat these dogs. Try the chili cheese dog with seasoned fries. You won't leave disappointed.

Their glory days were 20 years ago. The quality has suffered and it is just not what it once was!

First time here, and sat at one of the long (picnic style) wood tables on what they call is a patio…read morebut is much more like a wood deck. They have an inside bar with lots of activity and TVs. Inside the men's bathroom had two urinals and two basins. Also there is an outside bar with three TVs, one behind the bar and two in the covered entertainer's area. We sat outside so we walked to that outside bar with the friendly, efficient, effective server. We also ordered food, the Butcher's Burger and a set of single ribs with your choice of sauces. Unfortunately the ribs were overcooked and thus tough to bite off and then bit chewy. The burger was quite good, with cheese and sliced pork belly to upgrade any usual burger, but this meat was thick and also had slight bit of tomato jam. Other than the underwhelming, overdone preparation of the ribs, it was a good time for all as people came and went. IMPORTANTLY, on this date, they were selling cooked oysters in small groups ALL YOU CAN EAT (when's the last time you heard that?) for $30. The profit on the oysters is going to a Down's Syndrome support group. Excellent!

CAUTION: MAJOR OHIO STATE BAR! (Which is great for me hehe!)…read more This place is truly great! They have a huge draft selection. The jumbo pretzel? Best I've ever had! Great hotdogs, yummy sweet potato fries, delicious burgers- don't sleep on the pork belly BLT sliders! Everything I've ever eaten here has been great! I've only ever been on a game day, so I'm not sure if the flow is the same. But you order your beer/drinks and/or food at the bar or counter. Then they give you a number to head to your table. I look forward to many more good experiences here!
