The Dog Cone - Longview

I got the chili and cheese tots and they were so soggy like the tots were made in the microwave. The chili was more like some kind of red sauce. The brisket on nachos tasted like chicken with liquid smoke on it.

It was ok ,the beans looked and taste like they were on the burner a lil too long;so flavor was saturated and mushy. German potato salad was interesting, the slaw was good, crunch, sweet and tangy. The brisket is where I felt like it was undercooked very chewy. The pulled pork were big chunks which was tasty. Y’all are on to something if you can work on the brisket. Flavor is there with the sauce as well

Ordered 2 Gyros. Pita was dry and broke in half on both. Meat was not fresh and very dry. Not even enough sauce to make it edible. Couple bites of each and they were in the trash

I 'm a bit torn in my review. This isn 't a gourmet hot dog stand, but it 's definitely an upgrade from the convenience store options. My reaction to trying their Southern Dog and tater tots is a 30 year flashback to a great high school lunch. The dog was decent not just a thin dog better than all chicken, certainly not all beef very salty. The bun was a bit flimsy but barely worked. The chili was canned and maybe doctored a smidge. The coleslaw was decent. The tots were good, but I 'd ask for extra crispy next time. The ladies inside were kind and helpful. I came for the low prices posted online, but found that the prices were since revised (so I posted an update). For the old prices, it 'd be a no brainer to make stop here again. For the new prices, it 's too easy to grab a burger elsewhere. If I return it 's to support small local businesses who make a decent lunch.

I am surprised I am not giving this place a 4 or 5. I have been here twice before and the food/service has been great. Today, s3rvice was great, but I didn't get exactly what I ordered. I received a medium shake when I ordered a large. As well as tots with my son's hot dog instead of the chips I asked for. I hope I didn't get charged for a large shake, since I didn't receive it.
