| - I'm a bit biased for this one: I haven't been a fan of hot dogs since I saw Ralph Nader speak as a teenager [sorry, Paulius]. That said, I like what they do.
A lot already has been said about the place. I've been here three times. The crowd is a mix of hipsters, old folks, regular, suburban families, and white blue-collar workers.
The service: Last Friday, the service was good, considered the seating was 90% capacity. The workers were like drone bees and they never stopped working while I was there. I applaud them for that, though I wondered once or twice if they could have had another one behind the bar.
One time on a friday during their happy hour [4-7 pm, $1 off domestics], they had country (old stuff like Hank Williams) playing in background instead of polka.
The food: On one visit they gave my order without the correct toppings, but returned with a correct one within 2 minutes. I didn't read the reviews before coming here, but note that the vegetarian dog is sausage-like in its texture and taste which I didn't care for. The tots don't taste oily.
There's great beer selection, over 20 micros (probably about 10 on draft) and over 10 domestics [even Ballantine, I've only seen it here and at Prosperity] as mentioned. The prices, beer wise, are average for the Cleveland area.
Note, it can be difficult to hold a conversation if there's live music playing.
[review #100. Duffman says oh yeah!]
