This place was simply stunning. It was like stepping into my grandparents basement and being fed delicious, delicious hotdogs . Free tootsie rolls with your check ????????

Christina Humphries

Their hotdogs with chili and mustard are amazing! We had a square of baklava and it was the absolute best baklava I've ever had, I have never had a piece of baklava so full of flavor until just now.

Todd Williams

This hole in the wall has the best hot dogs in town , order them 'burnt' and George will deliver you up crispy perfection. Great chili . Save a little room for pound cake . A Raleigh landmark . A+

I've seen this place on various lists of must try places to eat in Raleigh. Went by today with excitement. Got a hotdog all the way. It was ok but nothing to write home about. May try it again.

Awesome hot dogs ! All the way style gets you mustard , onions and homemade chili that is perfect for these dogs! Can't just eat one!

Vincent Lancaster

Discovered the joint on Foursquare. Love hot dogs ...excited to try these. It's after 11am and it's not open yet! Called and no one answers.

Amber Treat

Being new I just got 1 dog with everything... go ahead and just get 2. Great dog in a great hometown atmosphere.

Owner George Poniros still follows his grandma's advice: "Never put ketchup in there. We spend too much time making delicious chili for people to ruin it." Read more

Order a large coke . You get 20 oz for just 50 cents more than the cute 8 oz bottles. Although drinking from the glass is kinda cool. . . .

Follow in Adam’s footsteps and attempt to beat The Roast Grill’s Hot Dogger Challenge record. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.

Don't be in a hurry & don't ask questions. 1 guy serving 15 at a time... Just say, "give me 2 dogs and a diet (or Coke )" and say "yes" when he offers toppings. And the more burnt the dog, the better.

Emma

The hot dogs !! I don't like hot dogs but I love the hot dogs here!!

ᴡ Rodriguez

Try the pound cake after you get some dogs- all butter, homemade , really good.

Charles Mangin

If you like your dogs crispy on the outside, order them well done. George keeps some on the grill extra time just for that purpose.

Meredith m

Thei hot dogs were awesome!! No wonder they were featured on TV . It's a hole in the wall , but don't let that fool you. Truly good.

Glenn Girtman

Dogs, dogs, dogs. Don't ask for ketchup

Not many places left that feel and are authentic . This is one of them. 2 dogs all the way and a soda .

Donna R

Hot Dog ! Best in the Universe !

Colin Woodall

If you are getting a "to go" order, call in first. I'm sure George will appreciate it.

Kendall T

Very cute , very old school.
