Awesome hot dog joint. A flavor for everyone with tons of toppings. Quick and inexpensive. Great value and fast service!
If you like hots dogs, fries, and thr outdoors, the deck dining is the way to go. Love this place. Go there at least once every time we visit OBX.
Great hot dogs with lots of options. Definitely pay attention to the details on the menu so you get exactly what you want. Been coming here for years for the best hot dogs on the OBX. Note that in the summer parking can be limited and it gets packed!
Serving all beef hot dogs since 1975. They have a huge menu of custom hot dogs, extra large hot dogs, steak and cheese sub, chicken sandwich, fish sandwich, lots of sides and a kids menu. Portions are large, the food is good and the prices are affordable. Plenty of picnic tables outside. Lots of cool old signs. Really fun vibe.
Perfect spot for a great lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful. Huge selection of hotdogs and other sandwiches. The door came out quickly. Recommended stop!
This place really does it right. Simple, no-frills beach eats that are reasonably priced, fast, and super satisfying. All of the hot dogs that we tried were awesome- each with its own distinct toppings and flavors, and everything was fresh tasting. The nacho fries were awesome as well- loaded up with cheese, chili, sour cream, peppers, and pepper relish- they're sweet spicy creamy cheesy deliciousness in each bite. Lastly, the hush puppies were delicious! Simple southern goodness in every bite. It's worth noting that this place has a solid selection of craft beer that pairs well with the dogs! The atmosphere is awesome - sit on the upper deck if it's nice out! Service was top notch as well. It's a family owned and run place and you can tell they put a lot of love into what they do.
This is an excellent place to eat. Hot dogs and fries are delicious. I highly recommend this place if you ever in Kill Devil Hills. Many famous people have eaten here.
Always wanted to go, and I am glad I did. There is plenty of parking and only open for lunch. You place and pay for your food first, then they deliver to your table. They are fast and the food is really good. I ordered the Chicago Dog and added sourkraut, which was very messy but really good. Great atmosphere and staff is very friendly.
