He has ALL the toppings and gives you choices but will happily give you his own creation if requested. Unimposing, under-advertised (we were literally like, is this it?) But absolutely NOT overrated. We smashed these dogs, with all the toppings expertly provided, and required all the napkins. We left 100% satisfied and probably with a little mustard on our chins. Plus Sami is the nicest man ever!

The worker kindly let me! Churros are my soft spot for desserts! These were crunchy but also had a very creamy, smooth center.

I've tried all three standard (steamed) dumpling flavors: the pork and cabbage, beef and onion, and cabbage and carrots, and really like all three. My personal favorite is the cabbage and carrot because it feels lighter and generally more fresh because of all of the vegetables (and I like to imagine I'm somewhat healthy). However, I don't think you can go wrong any of them. They're cooked and stuffed perfectly - just the right amount of filling - and topped with a sort of sweet sauce (maybe made with teriyaki and soy sauce, but I still haven't nailed down what all is in it). The prices are good and the service has always been great. Definitely try this place if you're looking for just generally good dumplings, or if you've never had them before and want a solid place to try them.

Who was Weenie Beenie and what is it like? We had no idea but we knew they were one of the first,…read moreif not the first, to serve the legendary half-smoke sausages only available in DC. The visit was unique, the story is unique and the food is unique! Let's do this! Established in 1950 or 1954 (reports vary but the sign on the building says 1954), Weenie Beenie was a modest hot dog stand serving hot dogs and beans. It was started by two brothers, Carl and Bill Staton. Bill happened to be an incredible and ultimately famous traveling pool player who went by the name... you guessed it... Weenie Beenie! He won 27k in Arkansas (which is a LOT of money in the 1950's) and used the money to finance the hot dog stand's growth! He appeared on television, played hustlers across the country, and backed other hustlers while living the pool and entrepreneur life. During the 50's, a period of entrenched segregation in Virginia, Weenie Beenie distinguished itself by hiring black employees on the same terms as whites when most white‑owned businesses would not hire blacks at all. This made Weenie Beenie a rare example of early workplace integration in Arlington and a meaningful employer within the historically Black Green Valley community. Its reputation for fairness became a very important part of its legacy, remembered along with the food and its very colorful founder. We popped over and found a 70+ year old walk-up stand with a colorful, diverse and engaging set of customers and friendly service. In faded letters on the front wall to the left are the 10 commandments! No breaking any divine rules at Weenie Beenie's! We all chatted and I learned the one guy comes every day! The old man in the suit was very polite and reserved. The younger Latin and black clientele were fun and engaging and we joked around quite a bit. Another older man was as 38-year veteran of the armed service! Thank you sir! I heard some stories... Of course, we ordered half-smokes! They are well-seasoned half-pork, half beef, smoked sausages that are truly incredible. Weenie Beenie's are unique and delicious! Life is good with a historic, unique, fun and respectful half smoke.

A hidden gem in the parking lot of Home Depot…read more If you want to try something different and very fresh for a food truck type of atmosphere, this is it. The menu is not your typical hot dog stand as you can get burgers, cheesesteaks, and a variety of sides and other items. Depending on when you stop by, there could be a line and the food is made fresh, so the wait might be longer than expected. However, the food is really good. I plan to stop by again soon to try other menu items.

We ordered two burgers -- the classic smash burger (lettuce, tomato, mayo, and cheese) and the BBQ bacon burger (grilled onions, bacon, and BBQ sauce) -- along with their famous cheesesteak combo.

Everything was absolutely delicious, and I can't recommend this place enough -- especially knowing they're part of our local community. I've walked past this gem so many times without realizing what I was missing! It's tucked away in the Home Depot parking lot on Little River Turnpike, so don't sleep on it. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the entire menu.
