These hot dogs are phenomenal. 5/5 stars.The buns are the base of all good hot dogs and these buns are out of this world- grilled on each side to just crisp and soft and warm in the middle. The hotdogs themselves are high quality grilled to order on the flat top. Even the specialty dog’s are $5 and under.

The Carolina slaw dog (mustard, chili, and coleslaw) and the Chicago style dog (sauerkraut, mustard, pickle relish) were what we had and they were both out of this world. Super fresh coleslaw, really good chili, and all put together into a fantastic $5 lunch. The fries are also really good.

Restaurant and restroom were immaculate even at peak lunch time and the owner is clearly a really nice person. Really appreciative of his staff and customers.

My fiance and I came here on a Thursday night. The summer hours clearly listed that the place was open until midnight or 1am. We got there about 10 minutes before 10pm and the two Russian girls working there said they were closing we couldn’t eat there but could order along with another elderly couple who came in and they said their hours were different on the window then when they were closing. We ordered food, I told them three times we didn’t want mustard or raw onions on our 2 Chicago dogs and they were covered in them. We also ordered a large order of fries that were disgusting. I was extremely disappointed for a $33 order in both the service and food. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because we had come there prior and it was good, but I don’t think we will be returning back there again.

The employee we talked to was really nice, he helped us decide on what to get by telling us what was most popular and how the hotdogs were made. I got the Carolina Slaw Dog and it was really good, it was basically a hot dog with cole slaw and chili on it, the water we had was free and the outside seating was really nice at night which was when we ate there. We will be going back to try more hot dogs while we’re here.

Hours sign on door said open at 11am. Came at 11:20 and the doors were locked. A gentleman came to the door and said they were still prepping and would open up in 5 minutes and had us wait outside. 10 minutes later we left. He could have let us come in and look at the menu while we waited. The pictures looked amazing and we were hoping to have a good lunch on our way out of town.

We had high hopes for this place, but unless they change some of their core recipes, and get people in there who know what they’re doing, they will not get the business that a good hot dog stand at the beach should get.

It’s a good concept, and one that would be popular with both beachgoers and late-night bar hoppers. But their so-called famous chili, is nothing more than finely ground cooked “meat”. No spice, no color, no discernible flavor. In fact I think it was the worst chili I ever ate. They would do better using canned Hormel chili.

They do serve Parks hot dogs, which are pretty good. And they do use good rolls that they toast. But their toppings leave much to be desired.

We also tried their baked beans, which were nothing more than poured out of a can and warmed up. Again, no flavor, no taste, bland and blech. We had to ask for ketchup and mustard to mix into the beans to make them palatable . Also tried the mac and cheese, which was so dry it tasted as if had been made three days before and left to sit out. Then they must have microwaved it and the oil separated: it had a half inch of yellow oil in the bottom of my cup. Double blech!

I ordered a Carolina dog , which tasted nothing like those I remember from four years living in North Carolina. The slaw was flavorless and the onions must have been smashed to Smithereens in a Cuisinart because they just blended in with the slaw. I like onions on my hot dogs because I like to taste them and have the sweet crunch of onion pieces. No crunch in these onions, just a wet mush of finely shredded particles of onions. Onion mush on top of slaw mush on top of meat mush.
The Times Square hot dog had sauerkraut that also, again tasted bland and right out of the can. No seasoning , no nothing.

The woman next to me ordered a South of the Border hot dog, which was completely obliterated by cold shredded cheese. She said she didn’t like it at all, and it bore no resemblance to anything South of the Border. In fact she scraped half of the cold shredded cheese off because she said it tasted like it had come from Walmart.

I didn’t hate this place and could have given only one star, because I want to like it, and I want a good place for good hot dogs here at the beach. The hotdogs themselves, solo, are good and the toasted rolls are the best thing about the place.

Oh yes, I wanted to have some lemonade and iced tea, but the tank was filled up but not running. Who knows how long it had been sitting there like that?

I know the place is new, but their printed menu is riddled with typos. Ever heard of spell check?

My observation sitting there at the counter, was that they need experienced management that is aware of the potential shortfalls and who has the ability to catch and rectify them. The two young men cooking the hot dogs were trying their best, but needed direction.

Hot dog Johnny, sorry to give you a harsh dose of reality, but get your buns busy, get decent management who can train and oversee the hard-working kids who are struggling to do their best. and rethink some of your recipes.
