I'd take this place over Happy Dog any day. I walked in hella late, about 15 minutes before their closing time and they were incredibly friendly and still down to serve me hot dogs. Did the $5 deal. They weren't what I was expecting - the dogs themselves are small and I easily put down three of 'em and was wanting three more. Coming from Texas, the chili was unlike any I had ever had before and was somewhat watery but still a nice consistency and with incredible flavor. The decor rules. One of those places that looks like they never updated it which is a fantastic thing for a restaurant with such a simple food and menu. It felt home-y. Happy Dog is cool, but this trumps it by far for it's simplicity, vibe, and flavor that hasn't changed in 80 years.
