| - Probably the most reasonable lunch deal in the Green Street area. Everything is served in those red plastic baskets, which probably tells you enough about this place. As a student, I eat lunch at Wonderdogs when I'm in a rush because: (1) the store's less than 5 minutes from the Quad, (2) the food's always made super fast and super hot, and (3) hot dogs are cheap.
The menu has items other that hot dogs, but I've been always stuck faithfully to the dog deal of the day. My friend claims that gyros here are the best (even better than Zorba's). While there are many options in terms of bread-and-meat entrees, the best part of any meal are the fries, which are never slimy and soggy. I can barely handle the pickled hot peppers, but I still get them every time. Honestly, there's not much here that can go wrong (as far as I can tell, everything's made by grill or deep-fryer), so you're guaranteed a satisfying lunch, though it won't necessarily be the best meal of your life.
I'm always amused by the cast of characters who work at Wonderdogs. The owner (an old, slouchy guy) isn't entirely concerned with the customer service part of business. He mutters when taking your order, and I say "yes" to all of his questions because I can't make out most of his words. Still, I find his grumpiness endearing; I envision him as the kind of guy who'd run a shop in a larger, filthier city. The owner is usually accompanied by 2 other guys, who seem to be there more for company than employment. One stands by the grill and the other by the register, but they're rarely involved in any tasks that could be considered work.
