| - Had always seen this place while traveling the east valley for work and decided to finally give it a go. It was about 230pm on a Friday afternoon.
Ordered myself a chili cheese dog. The hot dog was great, Vienna Beef does give it a superior flavor and texture, bonus that it was in a natural casing. However, that's about where the good experienced ended. Everything that surrounded the hot dog quickly took away from the excitement and enjoyment of my lunch. The chili was kind of flavorless and a little thin, which is why, I think, they drowned it in cheese. I'm all about a messy dog... but it was all over the place, so much so, I had to eat it with a knife and fork. (it's a hot dog, not a stew)
But after eating the dog and then tackling the bun, I figured why they were so liberal with their cheese and thin chili, the bottom of the bun was hard. I know I came in after the lunch rush, but a hard bun? Really? That's the cheapest part of the package other than condiments, easy to toss without taking it on the chin. Either they don't care or someone left the bag open after lunch and I got the tail end of the bag. Not unforgiveable, but when you add it all up, it was disappointing.
I wouldn't not recommend it, but it's not a place I'd drive out of the way for. But location wise, I don't think they intend on catering to the hot dog enthusiast as much as the kids from Red Mountain HS down the road.
Service was good, the place is what you expect from a strip restaurant and its clean.
