Years ago this place was excellent. So can not imagine why I was served the chili dog I got today. I’ll post a picture.
As the commercials used to say “Where’s the beef?” Look in the picture you see if you can see the meat in this so called chili. It’s is sad to see it being served and worse is people think it is right.

Great food and top quality experience. Staff is awesome. This is what a family owned restaurant was meant to be!

This is a staple in the Elwood city community and a favorite amongst residents. You could say it is the under hotdog shop on steroids in done right . If you are a fan of chili cheese, everything and some of the best french fries and wieners around then this is your place. Go in there and get loose. It fits Elwood city to the T. McCormick companies approved.

Better than the hotdog shop! More flavor, similar prices, arguably larger portions too. I tried their hotdogs, bacon burger, and fries. Super good! Excited to try more soon

Just had the best hot dog with chili and cheese. Owner Paul and staff were very nice and it was a pleasure talking to them. It was worth driving and look forward to going back.

A colleague told me about this gem. The food was fantastic. Definitely a great atmosphere. The service was amazing. I didn’t realize that it’s a cash only business and I thought I didn’t have any cash on me. The owner told me to just pay him next time!!! I was stunned and grateful. Fortunately I did have a couple dollars to pay for my order but the selfless act really made my day and restored my faith in the good people of the world. Thank you again for your kindness. I look forward to trying the burgers on my next visit. The chili cheese dogs were delicious!

If I could give 10 stars I would! Yummiest food (try the Joes special – you won’t be disappointed), cute ketchup drawings for the kids, super clean … and the nicest people! So happy we found them!

# Red Hot Restaurant – An Absolutely Amazing Experience!
I just had to share my incredible experience at Red Hot Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special.
Let me tell you about those hot dogs – they were hands down the **best I’ve ever had**. The quality was outstanding, and you can tell they put real care into every detail. But what really took it to the next level was their chili sauce. WOW! It had the perfect balance of heat and flavor that complemented the dogs perfectly without overwhelming them. I’m still thinking about that sauce!
What made the experience even better was the staff. The service was absolutely excellent – attentive, friendly, and you could tell they genuinely cared about making sure every customer had a great time. In a world where good service can be hard to find, Red Hot Restaurant really stands out.
Everything from the food quality to the atmosphere to the staff made this a memorable meal. I’ll definitely be back, and I’m already recommending it to friends and family. If you’re looking for fantastic hot dogs with amazing chili sauce and service that makes you feel valued as a customer, Red Hot Restaurant is the place to go!
Can’t wait for my next visit!

New Castle is the chili dog capital of the world but red hots easily holds their own against them and their prices are much better. Their chili was amazing

Best hot dog place around. I grew up around Ellwood and Red Hot has been a staple food group. You get the normal burgers, dogs, and fries – BUT the winner is the chili topping! This stuff is like liquid gold. Each batch is slightly different, so sometimes the surprise is how HOT it is (And that is a good thing). Now I live in Indy, but Red Hot is ALWAYS my first stop in town!!
