| - I have been wanting to go to this place for a while. Unfortunately, the establishment and food was just "meh". My first issue was the restaurant itself. My party and I walked in and observed unswept floors and a smell that reeked of dirty dishwater. The kicker was that the restaurant was virtually empty! Why?! Definitely not what I expected for a Saturday evening. An employee eventually came to sweep up the food particles and trash, but the odor was still present. I thought a food establishment was suppose to smell like ..ummm, I don't know...FOOD!...*sigh*.... I should have hit an "about-face" due to those things alone. However, my hot dog hungry teenage son convince my partner and I on giving this place a try. We halfway mozied our bodies to the front counter and was greeted by a rather friendly cashier. I settled on the Seasonal Sausage with an order of fries and their TRU ADE "Orangeade".... well, I really didn't have much of a choice because their fountain drink machine was out. My only other options were bottled sodas, Lemonade, or beer....*ugh*... While waiting on our food, I took a swig of the famous "Orangeade"...I looked back at my cup. Not in astonishment, but feeling hella ripped off! * insert my WTF face here*...That ish tasted like water-down Kool-Aide minus the sugar! The only thing that made it "orange" was the color and the bits of pulp flying around in it! Oranges sacrifice themselves for this?! So disrespectful....Anywoo, our food came out within 5 minutes and once again the presentation was just "meh". I was expecting "Hot Dawg Heaven". But, my meal was stuck in hot dog purgatory....a dawg that was waiting to redeem itself... The chicken sausage was very pale. I know, I know...it's chicken...but, I was at least expecting some grill marks or a little char on the skin...*super sigh*...the caramelized onions on it was good, though...and the rosemary mustard let me know that it was trying to impress me...moving on to the fries...they were "room temperature" warm and a little too hard for my taste...my son polished my fries off, along with his fries and two hot dogs! However, a 15 year boy doesn't require much, especially when he's not spending his money...Overall, I would recommend this establishment ONLY if you are in the area and hankering for a hot dog or you're a 15 year old spending your parent's money.
