I placed an order via the app to be picked up and taken back to our hotel room for the night. We ordered two Frisco Melts and a regular Onion Ring. The order of onion rings consisted of 5 rings of varying size. That was a bit disappointing...but I digress. When we arrived, there were a few vagrants at the door holding it open for patrons, surely in hopes that someone might tip them on their way out. We proceeded to the counter marked for take-out orders. We were, almost immediately, approached by a woman who directed us to the "new" take-out counter. She explained to us that the location of the area previously used for take-out orders caused congestion in the entryway. We sat near the correct take-out counter, quietly, and waited for the app to let us know when our order was ready for pick-up. Another woman, working that counter, diligently assisted multiple customers with their orders and then she addressed us after seeing that we'd been sitting there for a while. The app didn't say that the order was ready, but she checked and it was. I asked about the extra Frisco Sauce that we'd requested, and she assured us that it was there and gave us a strip of paper with a QR code for the drink fountain. The fountain area was somewhat of a mess, being that it is self-serve and people are messy. Someone approached us wanting to use our codes. Having already used them, we told her that we didn't know if they would still work. She proceeded to help herself, immediately after us, and was able to pour herself soda in drink cups that she'd already acquired. I don't know if that is theft of beverages, but we were not involved! The extra sauce that we paid for was, in fact, not present. We approached the takeout counter and requested them. With sauce acquired, we braved the doorway and kept our heads down as we exited, so not to be accosted by the people acting as unofficial doormen and made our way back to our room across the street. The food was hot, fresh and delicious.

Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum! (This should be my whole review. lol)…read more Nothing fancy about this place. Just a small mom and pop dive that serves hot dogs, but the food is great. I ordered a charred jumbo Belushi (1/4lb beef Vienna hotdog, beef chili, shredded cheddar cheese - I held the onions) and a side of cheese fries. This is probably the best hot dog in town, and the chili on the fries was amazing. The chili by itself would be a good meal, but that's not an option on the menu. They might have the best fries in town as well; they're hand-cut. I enjoyed the cheese sauce on the fries too. For the future though, I will order a regular Belushi instead of a jumbo. It tastes amazing, but the jumbo just has a regular sized bun so the bun isn't big enough to hold the hot dog and all of the toppings. I was messy eating the jumbo Belushi because the bun couldn't hold everything. Having said that, the jumbo Belushi was darn good!! The staff was great too. They're kind, they brought the food out quickly, and they keep the restaurant clean. The person behind the counter recommended the Jordan (Vienna beef hotdog, beef bacon, grilled onions, sport peppers, mayo, mustard) and onion rings. It's hard to imagine a restaurant having something better on the menu than what I ate though.

We haven't stopped by for burgers or patty melts recently, but we drove over there specifically to get ice cream a couple of weeks ago. Their fruity pebble shake is unreal. I have gotten it every time I've gone, except for the one time I strayed and ordered a regular chocolate shake (also good, but doesn't beat the fruity pebbles!). Flamin' Chicken & Shakes was another concept of theirs that they had on 38th street and we used to go there before they closed. They had the same dessert menu and I, of course, ordered the fruity pebbles shake each time we went. We haven't stopped in at Flamin' Chicken & Breakfast since they've opened, so I'm unsure if they have the same dessert menu (but maybe not since they are breakfast oriented). I definitely recommend eating here, but if you've already had dinner and want a sweet treat, then they are a great spot for ice cream!

Also, I love spicy food but I strongly discourage getting the "hot peppers" on the sandwich when it's made. They come in an oil or something and because capsaicin (the molecule that you taste as "hot") is water soluble, it hits you so hard and makes the sandwich WAY too spicy. Instead you should get them on the side and put one on each of the bites you want, as you eat the sandwich. You'll thank me later. Also, don't go to this location between noon and 1. They are just way too busy

Why have a huge sign that says "half off milkshakes on Saturdays and Sundays" and decor center around sandwiches and milkshakes ("order your shake now!"

Highly recommend.
