My friends and I were wrapping up a day at the beach when one of them suggested Hot Dogs and Ice Cream. On a beautiful summer day... we all thought it was a great idea! He knew about this place and we all stopped by.
My first impression from the outside was that it looked like an ice cream parlor. Families and couples in line to order from a window... people sitting on picnic benches eating ice cream... kids running around... the works
My second impression was that the ordering line did not make sense. From the door, the line went into the middle of the crowded room, turned 270 degrees, followed a counter, then turned 90 degrees to the register, and then the waiting area was at the other corner of the room. None of this is marked at all... and it seemed unnecessarily complicated for no reason. The room is divided up by these bar height counters? I did not understand why because you couldn't really eat at them, they were just in the way.
Anyway, one of the humorous moments from the day was when my friend was denied the "family" size fries... which he had assumed was the best size for our group of five. He was corrected to a "medium" fries... which turned out to be more than enough for the group :-P
The hot dogs were great and VERY big... #Murica all the way!
My three star rating was simply due to the ordering process being frustratingly inefficient and unclear for no-reason. Even when the line shortened up and one of my friends went back in for a ice-cream Sunday, he gave up because it was taking too long.
