Had to try their classic hot dog with the chili! Staff was super friendly and offered to pour chili on the dog until I said “when” and it was delicious! I’ll have the give the other ones a try in the future

My best friend and I were cruising past a bunch of great options, and I'm not really sure what made us stop here, but we are very happy we did! AMAZING! we had to buy a second round because it was so good! Definitely recommend stopping by and trying more than one menu option! You will be happy you did!Vegetarian options: The Weenie (Veggie):Wheat protein, bell peppers, fennel, eggplant and fresh garlic.

Horrible service from the gentleman taking orders. I had gotten in and he was checking in an order that was just received and the delivery driver had already left,meanwhile he had about 5 people waiting to put in orders. The order isn't going anywhere so why are you making customers wait while you have a line. He was very blunt and not really caring about the customers waiting. Also he had a conversation with the people behind me about eating a hot dog like lady and the tramp and had the audacity to ask them which one is the tramp. No clue why this person is working here with that mentality towards paying customers. Will not be coming here while he's manning the grill. This was May 18th around 1:30pm.
