The Dog Pound - Cave City

Great little hot dog is in an old gas station. The indoor kitchen is small, but they have cleverly built large outdoor tables over the old pump islands. The Jumbo dogs are jumbo and stacked with blows. There is a good selection of dogs along with some busts and sausages. Your chili is made at home and delicious. The Jumbo dogs are a challenge to eat without using a knife and fork. Luckily, they are provided. Waiting staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. Signage is missing something from the road, but it is worth looking for this place!

How many people we stopped after a Mammoth Cave Tour and stopped for a bite. So glad we did. We have a Chicago Dog, Yorkie Burp and a Big Jack Attack. I love a good hot dog and would evaluate this place one of the best. Place was clean, crew was friendly, and we really appreciate it. Plus has to eat outside in the shade. Would stop without hesitation again, wish it would be closer to me.

We went through the area on the way back to Lexington and died to get some food in our stomach, which was not a fast food chain. These hot dogs hit the spot! Just a classic American snack that meets the place! We have the Mac n-Käsehund, the pig dog and the son-in-law dog. Everybody was great! We'll be back if we're in the area.

My husband and I stayed here after our two-hour tour in the mammoth caves. The owner and the staff were all so friendly, welcoming, with fantastic service. We both ordered the Big Jack Attack and a Chili dog. Perfectly cooked and so filled! We loved it here. If we only lived closer to enjoy the good talks and food regularly. If we're back in the state, we'll be back.

A hidden gem, to be sure! If you find yourself in the Mammoth Cave area, skip the tourist trap bar food and head here. It's a no-frills little shack, but isn't that where you find the best food? There's a hot dog on the menu for everyone.
