“ Amazing throwback to the old American hotdog stand! Foot longs are easily 18"! Great nostalgia and ambiance. ”
“ First time stopping in, drove by it for years. I had a hot dog with everything, fresh cut fries, root beer, and a strawberry milkshake! Loved it all!!! The atmosphere inside was awesome, so many things to look at. Very clean and the staff was super friendly! They have a stage on the roof top where Lady Gaga and Rod Stewart played. They have a drive thru, sand volleyball area, outdoor seating with a fire pit. Also indoor seating. Definitely check it out. I met Joe the owner and he was super friendly. He mentioned he had 22 locations, I can see why. ”
“ Food is overpriced. I bought the BOGO free chicken sandwich, a free large fry voucher, and a cup of water. What I don't understand is why they have to charge tax on a free item when every other place doesn't do that. Also most places wouldn't even charge for a cup of tap water. Chicken sandwich $13 Cup of water 60¢ Theoretically I should only pay $13.60 plus tax, but my bill came out to be 17.69. that's a $5 difference! The food is good, but do something about your prices. Chicken sandwich is juicy, tender and well done. Fries are crispy and abundant. The funny thing is that the fries were my favorite part of the order. Freshly cut and just the right amount of salt. The atmosphere of the place is quite interesting and fun. It reminds me of those retro diners that you would find in the 70s-80s. It's very pro Trump. I'll probably come back just to try their shake specials on Monday. ”
“ Tiny place. Eclectic. Not much seating inside. It was very loud in there. Owner was there and friendly. Fries were delicious. Hot dogs were just okay. Shakes were good but a little pricey. Good variety on the menu. ”
