I had heard about this joint on the radio about new successful restaurants so when I was in the area I was excited to try it out.
The dog of the day was "Shred, Hot, and Bleu". Right up my alley! I asked about the dog size and the nice lass behind the counter said average size. She was right and I was a little disappointed.
I figured one dog wasn't enough for a lunch, and at $3.99 I wasn't going to spend $8 on 2 hot dogs of average size (there was a 2 dog meal but it didn't seem like a value) I was certainly ready to be wrong! I got the onion rings as part of the combo (which was a good deal).
I was quite disappointed with the dog, flavor and bun. There was supposed to be a hot sauce component but I never tasted it (I saw a tiny bit of a reddish sauce). The slaw was good and the Bleu cheese was just the right strength. The dog itself was small and not hot (temp), the bun was 2nd rate (maybe a bit too humid? It didn't taste fresh).
Onion rings were hot and delicious. Very light batter. Little crumbly made it tougher to eat with a nice shirt on but worth the effort.
If the dogs themselves were better (a lot larger and hot) and they get the balance of toppings right then they may have a $4 hot dog but as it is now, I would pay $2.00-$2.50 for one.
So I came back about a year later and got a Sonoran w/rings (free rings thanks to Yelp coupon!). The bun was much better this time, but the rings were greasy. Dog itself (good beef taste) was really good (& messy!). Pickle bar was cool but no plates to put the stuff on!
Verdict: still overpriced for hot dogs but good for a change of pace.
