| - Found out about this place a few weeks ago and my girlfriend (who has family from Buffalo) and I were itching to try it.
Starting off with the negatives:
- Stopped by on a whim because we realized it was near by and had our dog with us so I pulled up the website on my phone and the menu was impossible to read. No problem, I went to go get a to go menu from inside (since they boast about taking it to go). Was told that they didn't have any due to them being reprinted... ooookay, so i take a picture of the menu with my phone so that we can order.
- We are guessing the reason that the menus are being reprinted is because the prices are being raised (I posted a picture of the menu that I took and check out the website, in some cases a $1.50 increase on some items!)
- The food took about 15 minutes from when I ordered it to when i was able to walk out the door with my to go order which for an order of 2 hot dogs, and two orders of 8 wings (one mild, one honey bbq) seemed a little excessive but some of the frustration may have been to all the back and forth I had to do just to order.
- When the food was ready, they didn't seem to have much of a system of getting it to people or having the people get it, even though they issue numbers when you order.
- Almost $12 a piece for a hot dog and 8 wings (no side, no drink) seems a little on the high side especially when one of the wings I got looked like it wouldn't even make the cut on a 25 cent wing night at your local bar.
Okay, now for the good:
- All that being said, the wings were really good, they aren't drowned in sauce, and they are nice and crunchy and overall very tasty.
- Hot dog was a quality dog, worth the $2.60, had a good taste to it with the charbroiled taste.
- I can see how if you were from Buffalo, that the inside of the shop would be pretty nostalgic, big mural of Buffalo, tv's in the corners with sports on, and the smell of good food cooking.
Overall for where we live, I don't know that we would make the drive all the way there just for hot dogs but we will certainly have added it to our list of place for when we are in the area.
