Went here for lunch and I can't get the smile off of my face.
They have 8 different dogs ranging from $4-9. Standard and Duck Fat fries for $3/5 respectively, and a soda fountain. You can read all about the menu on their website.
I had the ever popular Chili Cheese Dog to start. While not the prettiest thing to look at, it came together so well... smoked brisket chili, cheese curds on a toasted bun. About the hot dog itself, it is perfect. The casing has a nice snap to it, and the meat is super juicy and flavorful. I also feel less squeamish about eating a dog made to Kevin Sousa's specifications.
The fries were excellent. They have a ton of friers and some elaborate system of re-frying and resting the fries, resulting in a generous portion of crispy fries that range a bit in color... making everybody happy.
I then went back for the Devil Dog... egg salad, tobasco, potato chips and scallions... this time on the vegan smart dog. I've never had a smart dog before, but I was very pleasantly surprised with the natural texture and how juicy the darn thing was. It really was just a conduit for the toppings, anyhow. For vegans and vegetarians, I noticed they have a separate flat top for the smart dogs and veggie chili. I also meant to ask if the Kimchi was vegetarian or not but forgot.
The space is pretty cool, too. A high ceiling, high window diner feel. Just unfortunate that you have to stare at the business end of Target.
Service was excellent. Orders were well expedited and there are two ordering lines.
Clientele at lunch today were all drivers, but I'm guessing during the warmer months they won't have trouble convincing people to walk or ride their bike.
4 stars overall. I would give it 5 but something just seems missing. Not sure what it is. If I don't figure it out I'll give it 5 stars in an update review.
