4 /5 Larry Ballard: Sorry no pictures , I forgot my phone at home. I will update with photos next time I visit .
I kept it basic , with a chili dog fries and a Diet Coke . The price was fair and the service was next to immediate, and friendly .
The fries were a couple of degrees below lukewarm, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they are frozen Checker’s fries from Dollar General . May have been better if they were hot , but as it is they were uninspiring . Next time I’ll try them with some chili and cheese .
The Diet Coke was in a can , and about the same temperature as the fries . They did give me a cup of ice though .
This sounds less than stellar I know , but let us consider the chili dog . The chili dog was hot and the bun soft and fresh , sounds basic I know , but I can’t tell you how often I’m served stale or soggy buns at other establishments . The wiener is a red link , and with a nice crisp snap , not mushy . The chili is tasty , and plentiful enough to be satisfying yet not so much as to be messy . It has a great consistency that keeps it on the hot dog , not on the plate , all over your fingers or the front of your shirt .
The chili dog alone is enough to bring me back. You may think it seems like a simple thing , making a good chili dog . I assure you that it is not . There are far more bad chili dogs being served than good ones in eateries across the area … this is one of the good ones .
Dining is outdoors under a metal carport type shelter , and a busy road runs right past it providing ample opportunity to people watch . Just the right atmosphere to gobble down a good chili dog
Next time I’ll try the burger , and update with pictures .
Worth a visit .
EDIT: Went back today 9/11/2025 and ordered a chili-cheese burger , chili dog and fries .
I’m still not particularly enamored of fries , although they were hot and fresh , just not my jam . However , if you like a huge , tasty , homemade style burger this is the spot for you . Served piping hot and really meaty , this is a serious contender for the best burger in the area .
For me though the star of the show is still the chili dog , not fancy , not pretentious , just delicious - as a chili dog should be .
Check it out , y’all .
