After all, how much can you really fit into a small hot dog bun? The clam roll, priced at $14.99, was served in a similarly small bun and had just five tiny clams in it. The order of onion rings for $7.29 was also disappointing; it was a small portion of overcooked, crumbly rings that weren’t even batter-dipped like we had hoped. To top it off, bottled water cost $1.99 each. It seems like the place makes a lot of money during the summer by taking advantage of tourists and visitors, which is likely why it doesn’t remain open in the winter.

The Jumbo Hummer Roll ($25.99) wasn’t really jumbo at all—how much can you really fit in a small hot dog roll? The Clam Roll ($14.99) was similarly underwhelming; it contained just five clam shells in another tiny roll. The order of onion rings ($7.29) was small and the batter was overcrowded, not the crispy crushed style we were hoping for. Also, the filled water cost $1.99 each. This place seems to make a lot of money from summer cyclists and visitors, which might explain why it doesn't stay open during the winter months.
