Servers in the joint looked so tired but were nice. The hotdog itself was meh even with chili and cheese and there wasn't any tables to sit at to eat at so we went to sit at the boardwalk. Overall I personally wouldn't be back unless I needed a fast cheap option. Curve your expectations with this one.

I've always been partial to Sabrett's - that's what I ate growing up in NYC. $5 will get you a pair of hotdogs with any and all toppings. $7 will get you that plus chips and a drink. Let me say - if you've never had Sabrett's cooked onions, they are awesome. Just Google them and you'll see how many fans there are out there - many have tried to clone the recipe, a well guarded secret, but few have succeeded. So needless to say, I was happy to find these guys outside of Waterline Brewing. The dogs were good and really hit the spot - only wish they were a bit more generous with the toppings. At one point he had these miniature tongs neatly placing microscopic amounts of sauerkraut. Come on man, don't be shy, get the big tongs out!!! Lol!

It was fun just hanging out in the car and the nostalgic vibe. Since it's a burger house, we ordered burgers, fries, a vanilla milkshake and a bottled soda. It was around $21. It is cash only! The burger was just okay and could've used a bit more flavor. The fries were good and my son loved the milkshake. Next time I might try a hot dog since that seems like another popular item. Overall, the food isn't amazing, but the experience and nostalgic atmosphere made it worth the visit.

A little bit of a backstory - every month or two I crave a good chili, slaw, and ketchup hotdog (I know, not quite Carolina style) - and I'm determined to find one as good as the place in my hometown in Charleston. So far, I've never been close. Until today. And I've been on this mission for about 10 years. After hearing from a bunch of Wilmington locals that this is the place I should try, I was finally able to go today. They are open I believe from 10 to 4 Monday through Saturday. Cash only. You drive up to a parking spot. Park. Roll down your window. And wait for the people to come take your order. I believe I came at one of the busiest times ever - I think every single parking spot was full. But the lady saw that I pulled in and she was over to take my order as soon as reasonably possible. I only had a $20 bill so I was worried about how much I could order. Oh my gosh! What a silly concern. I was able to get two hotdogs the way I like it with chili, slaw, and ketchup, I also ordered a plain hotdog for my dog, and she rang it up just as a wiener that has no bun. Perfect. She told me that I would still have money left over with my $20 bill to get fries and even a drink. I ordered a Diet Coke and I was surprised that it came out in a beautiful wonderful bottle! Delicious! And the fries are crinkle cut fries! You won't even believe me when I tell you that that entire order was $11.75. I was amazed! It probably took about 10 minutes to receive my food. But it's a nice day and I was just chilling in the car until it was ready. Not a bad weight when we have our phones, music on the radio, and especially if you were in the car with some friends or family members like many people were today. I've already eaten one hotdog and it is absolutely delicious. The slaw is finely chopped and sweet. It adds such a nice touch to the hot dog. And the chili is actually on point. Also finely ground. The hotdogs are that bright red style that is common around eastern North Carolina. I know that is some people's preference, but I will say that the look has always scared me and I've actually stayed away from a lot of places that serve the style of hot dog. Well, that was foolish. This thing was so good. Probably the best hotdog so far that I have had in the state of North Carolina, and believe me, I have tried hotdogs across the state and surrounding ones. So happy I found you, Merrits burger house! I will definitely be back! And thank you to my amazing waitress today.
