Take a look at the positive reviews and you'll probably understand what I'm talking about. As for the rave reviews about "cleanliness", I should hope it's clean, it's only been open for 2 days!
Like a few others, we've been anxiously waiting for this to open for some time. I frequent Lowe's and the idea of having a hot dog / burger place right next door is cool and convenient. We went today, and sadly, we were pretty disappointed. We went on day two of their "grand opening" only to find they ran out of hamburgers, really!! Look, when your only two major products are hot dogs and hamburgers, you shouldn't run out of either, especially when you've been open for less than 48 hours.
I decided to go with the Mac and Cheese dog on a pretzel bun. The hot dog itself was OK, but nowhere near worth the $6+ I paid for it. One problem was the Mac and Cheese, it was completely flavorless. The macaroni was actually white, which would be OK if you used a white cheese, but that wasn't the case. It was white because of the plain macaroni itself, it had no flavor at all. The pretzel bun was was too dense and doughy, I'v had better at Sonic.
Most disappointing was the price. For a family of 4 we spent over $30.00 and that was for two plain non-specialty dogs, one specialty dog, a kids meal, an order of fries, and onion rings. Fries are a la cart and cost $2.00. I've seen more fries in a kids happy meal. I thought maybe I ordered a small, then realized it's just one price and you don't get much. I don't mind spending the money, but make it worth our while in both flavor and portion size.
The onion rings weren't bad, but again, overpriced.
I would love to support my local businesses and I'm not writing this because I want to bash them. I am writing this because I want the owners to succeed by using customers comments as a means to improve. Right now, you don't get what you feel you pay for, and that will keep customers away.
Until they improve, my advice is to head down the street to Costco and get an awesome dog and a soda for $1.50, so much better than this place. Really sad and very disappointing.
