Fabulous food . Quaint little shop friendly staff! Try the specials! The offer every Saturday for veterans get combo meal for the price of the hotdog!! They have homemade special hot sauce … it is fire!!!

Holy Cow I did not expect it to be this good! I'm not big hot dog fan. I like them well enough, but if I'm doing dogs, I'm usually doing it at home, and it's usually gonna be brats. After several friends insisting I check this place out, I finally decided to give it a shot. First, it's not just hot dogs. It's mostly hot dogs and some brats, but their special is known to deviate. Also, there sides are bangin, but more about that later. The first time I went here, the special was a Taco Grilled Cheese. Yeah, I know, SOUNDS AWESOME! Well guess what, IT IS! It's Taco meat, with red peppers and onions, in a texas toast grilled cheese, with 4 cheeses mind you. Topped off with a beef filled pepper. I went back the next day, and finally tried a dog. Got what's called the "Marion Dog" (pictured), which is your typical Carolina style hot dog. Chili, slaw, onions. I usually add cheddar cheese as well. I was impressed. I didn't expect a hot dog to taste that good. They have enough variety to please everyone, including vegans. Now back to the sides. You might've noticed the mac & cheese in my picture. Yeah, this is the good stuff. So many places have "Mac & Cheese", but those places really just have "Mac, in cheese soup," even the fancier, pricier places. HERE, it's MAC & CHEESE buddy! This is how Mac & Cheese is supposed to be. If you like Mac & Cheese, come here and get you some! Lastly, the environment. This isn't a large place, but there are some table outside. I love the cozy atmosphere. They've done a great job with the place. It's not "wacky" like many hot dog places try to be. It's actually got a bit of a "down-home" feel, and I love it. If you're ever in Marion, NC . . . do yourself a favor and stop here!
