| - I've been here twice, and both times, I just don't get what the fuss is about. Maybe it's just a matter of preference when it comes to certain things about hot dogs, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the Coney dog served here. To be fair, I've never had one before anywhere else, so I can't compare to other establishments. The cashier was very friendly and she even read my name off my work badge somehow and called me by name the rest of the time I was there. I think that's a really nice touch. The owner too, he's such a super cool guy and I really want to like the food because of it. I got a Coney dog with french fries that I added the option of putting Frank's Red Hot all over them. I saw the new menu item, the big-mackinaw and had to try it also.
The dog - the onions had a really off putting smell to them. I don't know if they were old, or if it was the way that they interacted with the chili, but every time I brought the dog to my mouth, I was grossed out by the terrible smell of the onions. It almost had that B.O. smell of old onions. The snap of the dog, I love a snap, but this was REALLY snappy, kind of felt strange to me. This chili is OK, I would add more mustard personally
The burger - huge! Cooked to perfection, melty cheese, and then....the onions! Nooooooo! There were so many onions on this burger, it completely destroyed my palate. All I could taste was onion. While I was in line, I was listening to each person's order, and it seemed like they were all ordering with no onions. I remember thinking, if you come to a place, order it the way they make it, they know what they're doing. By the end of my meal, I realized why. Maybe it's not why THEY ordered with no onions, but I certainly would order with no onion next time.
The weird smelly onions on the dog, and the way too abundant amount of onions on my burger were enough to wonder what the hype is. If you love onions, come here. If you don't, order without onions.
The burger and the personality of the owner and cashier were enough for me to some day want to go back and order with no onions.
