| - I hadn't eaten here in a year or so, but doggonit, the Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives piece (and a buy one get one free coupon) stoked my interest. The dining area is attractive and nostalgic, and includes a great little bar set off separate from the eating area. Sanitation rating was 97 and service was friendly and fast. Customers order at the counter and food is delivered to your table.
I went with a Triple D Combo for $12.95 before coupon. It consists of a Chili Cheese Coney Dog (with chili, onions and shredded cheese), the house-made Kasekreiner (Austrian beef and pork sausage stuffed with Emmentaler cheese topped with kraut, diced pickle red onion and house-made horseradish), both on delicious buns, that were more than just an afterthought. Both dogs were tasty but the sausage was especially so.
The Soon-To-Be-Famous Onion Rings are aptly named and deserve their own paragraph. They are light, sweet, thinly sliced and melt in your mouth. Of course, they are also a bit greasy but hey, I'm at a hot dog joint! I didn't come here to lower my cholesterol and blood pressure. I knew what I was getting into. For the record, they do sell chicken sandwiches and tenders.
I also like the pickle station, and found little to complain about, even the fountain drinks had a good mix. It's not a Gotta Try in my book, but it is pretty doggone good.
