| - I was excited to try this place but a little bit wary based on some middling reviews. I think anyone who gave a negative review was just ornery or didn't understand how Square works. (See the person who complained that the restaurant somehow "stole" their email address...) I love hotdogs and have been searching Pittsburgh for the best hotdog spot for a while. I have been disappointed with the cleanliness, quality, consistency, and originality of every other place I've been to, including perennial favorites like Weiner World and that 24 hour place in Oakland. This place, however, was great from start to finish. It was clean. There's a great view. There was indoor seating. Even the bathroom was clean. The service was incredible. The staff was very attentive and patient. They came over to ask us how things were after we had gotten our meal. And before that when we were ordering we kept screwing up and changing our order and the young man behind the counter was incredibly patient and understanding about it. I got a "build my own" hot dog with relish, ketchup, and grilled onions. My husband got the Carolina. We both got combos. I've seen some people complain about the price, but I have no idea how you could complain about getting fries with any topping, a loaded hotdog, and a bottled artisan soda for 8. No, it might not be rock-bottom cheap, but it is definitely not overpriced. And the quality is excellent. As for the hotdogs themselves, I absolutely loved mine. Thick, flavorful, juicy. Nicely cooked. The bun was moist and fresh. The grilled onions were fresh and delicious. And the relish appeared to have been homemade. It was excellent. My husband also really liked his hotdog. The fries were fine. They weren't the best in town as claimed. But it's more of a preference thing. These were crusty on the outside and had been fried for a little longer than I might've liked. But it was clearly intentional--just a style that some people really like. They had lots of flavor. I just prefer fries that don't have that thick crispy exterior. It tends to retain grease. Of course, that didn't stop my husband or me from eating most of our fries. We finished the meal with some soft serve ice cream cones. The ice cream was good, much better quality then a lot, but certainly not the best I've had. But definitely up there. The small was very generously sized. And once again, the staff were quick and attentive. I would absolutely go back here, and I would recommend it for any hot dog connoisseurs or anyone who wants a fun casual spot with a great retro vibe. The decor was really quite fun. Even though it was raining, we went outside after afterward to enjoy the epic view of the Allegheny River, and the dam. A very nice spot indeed.
