The Wife" ordered the Sausage dog with mustard and raw onions and she throughly enjoyed it.

I live in St Pete Beach, FL but my daughter and hubby have a second house up here (HVL) just around the corner from Hot Dog World, so it will be a regular stop each future trip up.

There was one guy ahead of us that ordered a single hot dog, he got his food fairly fast. A lady came in way after us and she got her food fairly fast as well. By the time we got our food we were the only ones in the place. Will not be coming back. We just happened to be in Hickory and wanted to try a local hotdog joint. Unless you've got plenty of time to kill, keep driving. When we got our food, the lady apologized for the wait and said she wasn't the regular cook. Hotdog was decent, the brisket was gross. Definitely was what we heard the microwave "ding" for. Won't be back.

They have so many options for food that are normally not available for people with allergies. I couldn't decide on one thing so I ordered several things. For starters, the chicken sandwich was huge. It was perfectly fried and very crispy. The bun held together and didn't fall apart. If you are gluten free, you know this is hard to find. I would say I only ate about 1/3 of the sandwich, it was so large. I also ordered the fried okra which were very crispy and the coating was light and flavorful. It's one on my favorite things to order here and a can't miss if you love fried okra. The next favorite was hush puppies. They reminded me of the hush puppies I used to eat growing up and have missed dearly. The prefect combination of sweet and crunchy. And i couldn't leave without trying the fried pickles. The owner, Lisa, and I were speaking about all the options and I told her how much I love having all these options. She included a small side of spicy pickles for me to try and they were even better than the regular. Not overly spicy and a great combination with breading and ranch dressing. I can't wait to return to try the fried jalapeños and the brisket. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are amazing. I ordered all of the food (6 different things) and a drink for $26. It was way more than I could eat but I wanted to try it all. The atmosphere is casual and the booths are cafeteria style for a very comfortable, southern experience.

If you slow your roll down some, this is one of the best fast-food restaurants in the area. We don't usually order anything remarkable; typically a hotdog or grilled cheese combo, a soup, fries. But they never get our orders wrong, and the food is always fresh and presentable enough. Not greasy nor gross either. The staff is very courteous; politeness of the best kind. They come to work with a smile on their face and provide great customer service. As I've said before in a review or two elsewhere: you would think that's not much to ask for. It is extremely refreshing to come sit down here and eat with family after a long day and be greeted by someone who is ready to meet your needs without a sigh or whisper of rudeness. Would certainly come again, as we often do.

I wanted to pop in here for 2 reasons #1, I like their hot dogs, and #2, I wanted to take a closer look at the Wiener that Dairi-o uses. We got a 2 hot dog combo, and both dogs were with kraut and mustard. We each grab a dog, I passed on the FF (hate these crinkled boards of non--flavor). This is a very good kraut dog, loaded, really loaded with zesty sauerkraut. The wiener seems about average, probably around 1.6 ounces. Dairi-o's weiner is 100% beef in a natural casing, providing a snap when bitten, and is made to their specifications, they do not purchase a national brand. Like the other newer locations, this is a bright, clean spot up-fitted in retro diner style - open and spacey,plenty of sunlight from the numerous windows. The lot and the drive thru are easily entered, and the lot is spacious.
