They have polish sausage and veggie dog. All the hot sauce are non-vegan, but there are fruit sauces and mustards. Potato chips and lemonade round it out. I got the veggie dog with mango sauce and Hawaiian mustard. It was a great combination of flavors. Very messy though. All the sauces drip everywhere.

First of all, it was somewhat hard to find. Then there was a really long line to order on a Tuesday afternoon, waiting maybe 15 mins in line. None of the sauces are vegan, so I had to just get it with a mango topping. I assumed being in Hawaii that they would use real fruit. This is not the case. The mango topping was some fake-tasting high-fructose corn syrup mango-flavored gooey stuff that I was a bit disgusted to be eating. The veggie dog itself was mediocre, not heated all the way through, and I would be really surprised if it were local or organic. The bun was just bleh—it’s a standard white bread hot dog bun—not a healthy option at all. I was a bit grossed out after eating this that I had to stop at the Kauai Juice Co on the way out. I should have gone there first.

She should be in the back working and kept away from customers. I wasn't the only one She was rude to. Several other customers walked in after me andshe gave bad service to and was very rude. They closed the store early and seemed like they just wanted to finish up and gohome. There was plenty of dogs left to sell. Owner should retrain this girl on customer service.

Delish hot dog. Spicy is not spicy but great flavor. Hot is HOT wish there was a heat level in between. Otherwise would eat this all the time! read more Delish hot dog. Spicy is not spicy but great flavor. Hot is HOT wish there was a heat level in between. Otherwise would eat this all the time!
