I'm a Chicago native living in Vegas for a while now and I get the usual cravings for Chicago food.
I was in the mood for hot dogs tonight so I decided to try Tasty Dogs for the first time.
I've read the other reviews here and I really wanted this place to be great, but unfortunately it didn't live up to them.
Although they had all the right ingredients, Vienna beef dogs, neon green relish, poppy seed buns, sport peppers, etc, the final dogs served to me were pretty sub par.
First- one of the buns had a stale end- like the end was hanging out of the package and dried up. How do you serve a customer a rock hard bun? Next they really skimp on the toppings, Two TINY slices of tomato (seriously looked like they sliced a cherry tomato as thin as possible. A pickle spear on the dog looked like it was shaved off the pickle with a vegetable peeler. Then just a bare minimum of the other toppings covered the dog.
I understand this stuff is mostly all shipped in from Chicago and it's expensive, but I'm paying a premium- the 2 dog special is $8.99 + tax!!! For that kind of money, give me a decent topped dog on a fresh bun! I felt pretty gypped.
The one good thing I can mention are the hand cut thin fries- very tasty.
I may go back and try the gyros and Italian beef and hope it gets made with a little more care. Maybe I just had an unusual bad experience.
