The hot dog was good. The quality was decent and it was a pretty big dog. I'm not always a fan of cased hot dogs, but I got over that just fine. The bun was a mix of standard but a little better (Dormont Dogs still beats most hot dog places on this). My only issue with the hot dogs is that there weren't all that many options and they were expensive. Now, I appreciate a simplistic menu approach, and actually prefer it, but what I didn't like is that there wasn't a lot of "traditional" approaches. I enjoyed the Devil Dog (although I could have done without chips on top), but I also would have loved to gotten a second hot dog that was just plain with my own condiments. Nothing really beats the classic approach.
The price points were OK, but my total for the meal was $12, and I had a hot dog, fries and a drink. I could pay that much at a nicer cafe for more food, but overall I was pleased. The fries in duck fat were amazing, and I think one of the best fries I've ever had. The best part was that they didn't do much else to the potato, but let the duck fat speak for itself.
The shop is cute, but it's definitely in a slightly odd spot. I enjoy the class-meets-new design and think it fits the bill. I will definitely be back!
