The hot dogs were nothing special—average in size and the chili sauce was quite forgettable.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed.

The prices are very reasonable, and their milkshakes are exceptional. The fries, served with the skin on, are absolutely delicious, and don't miss out on trying a hotdog! They also serve breakfast, with everything made fresh right in front of you.
