I don't know where to start.. the chili dogs are some of the best I've ever had. The hospitality was great. Even with a hot pot in front of us, they encourage us to try a coffee shop out in the park (Black Watch Cafe) just to further enjoy our visit to Scranton. We grabbed some pie to have later and it was great too.
Great coney dog … the chili is seasoned well and the dog is split in half and placed in a delicious bun. Not in the mood for a dog - the tuna salad is A+. Be sure toSave room for pie ;)
The service is top notch as well
Honestly shocked how something so simple can be so rich in flavor and delicious. Unlike anything I’ve had. Spectacular.
Have to stop here for a great lunch while walking through historic Scranton
Bronwynn, Connor, Pete...love you all! Great service. Sweet folks. Vibrant personalities. Food is delish. I am a total foodie and I was completely satisfied. I had to stop myself from ordering more and digging in my sister’s plate.
Bronwynn, I was supposed to come back with a chocolate cake for your birthday but I couldn’t and I was crushed. So happy belaaaaaated BDay and hope you enjoy the pic of a cake I wished for you.
Classic chili dog, simple, elegant, delicious, with an option for gravy, chili, or cheese on your fries. A Scranton institution..
Been a customer since I was a kid. They treat you like family and the food is simple, yet out of this world. You can't get it anywhere else. Every time I come home, I stop to eat and reminisce. I love this place. It's nostalgic.
Arguably the best Texas dogs in NEPA! I was astonished as to how affordable and filling this diner was, or as I like to say "cheep and cheerful".
I arrived at around 12:30 on a Sunday, and while there were a handful of people here, it did take a few minutes to be greeted and to have my order taken. I was not sure if they were short-staffed, or if it was just a "busy" day for them.
When the waitress finally came to take my order, she did apologize for the wait and explained it was a bit of a hectic day. I ordered 2 Texas dogs, fries and a Pepsi and she went and placed my order into the lone griller.
Everything here is made to order fresh, which is awesome, so I knew there would be a bit of a wait. It did seem to take longer than usual for a two hot-dogs with chilli, but I will again chalk it up to either being short-staffed, or just "busy".
When she finally brought my order over, there was only 1 dog and a basket of fries. I had to point out that I ordered 2 dogs and she said she would get right on that.
In this situation, one would think that they would make that a priority, instead of helping others who were seated and had placed orders after you, but unfortunately that was not the case. I don't even recall getting a "sorry" for the mistake. By the time the second dog arrived, I was pretty much done my meal and of course I had to wait an additional 10-15 minutes for my second dog.
The waitress was nice enough, the food itself was AMAZING but the overall "experience" was not what I would expect.
With all of this said, I would still give them another chance as we all have "off" days, and I hold no bitterness or resentment. The food was fantastic and the prices are unbeatable. I would just like to see them sort out their staffing issues and be sure to stay on top of orders.
Food is 5 out of 5 stars
Service itself is a 3 out of 5
Total review is 4.
