| - Hot diggity dog this place rocks! Came here today (like literally just now. That's how excited I am to write this review) for the first time ever. I drive by all the time but have never stopped. Today, however, was the day. And my lucky day it was!
I ordered a Vienna dog with just ketchup, mustard and onions. Adventurous, I know. The cool dude working there asked if I wanted fries and I declined but he kindly said, "Eh, I'm going to throw some in anyway." While my waistline may not appreciate that, my taste buds sure as hell did! How is it that the smallest mom and pop rinky dink (no offense, Hot Dog Heaven) places have the best freaking french fries?!?! They were good. Thicker than shoestring but thinner than a steak fry. Cooked perfectly - warm and soft potato on the inside and yet cooked enough so that there was just the slightest crunch on the outside. (Am I a fry connoisseur or what? Fatty, fatty two by four...). No joke - even if the dog sucked, the fries would have made everything right.
The hot dog was great. Generous portion of condiments and the dog itself was good - you can't go wrong with a Vienna. The only issue I had with it was that the top of the bun got super soggy by the time I was down to the end of it (which i couldn't even finish, by the way, on account of the french fry scarf down that took place prior to even taking a bite of the dog). Had it not been for that (and maybe I'm being too nitpicky about it) this would have been a solid 5 star joint.
Note that there isn't any inside seating here (at least not that I saw). It's a small shack (for lack of a better word) that only has a walk-up window. There are a few tables out front that you can sit and eat at but they fill up quickly. Word to the wise - this place gets packed busy around lunchtime so get here early (or late) to avoid the rush. Oh! And check the mirror afterwards - those pesky little poppy seeds lodged in your teeth are NOT cute.
