Husband wanted to take me for the really good BBQ he had earlier this year, only to find out it was a hot dog place. He wanted a Coney dog so we still went. He thought his Coney and Chicago dog were okay. I wasn't impressed at all with the Coney dog and only ate 1 if the 2 I ordered, the chili tasted worse then most canned chili I've had. Onion rings were really great and the staff was nice. Only 3 tables were occupied. Owner need to just stick with BBQ instead of trying other items.

BEWARE. We were so excited to try this place and taste everything we kept seeing on social media. When we arrived, we were seated quickly but it took quite a while for our server to greet us and take our order. From what I could tell there were about 3 front of the house staff members working the whole restaurant. My husband and I ordered a few different menu items to share. The Coney dog was meh. As others said, it was not a foot long, just a small bun length hot dog. The Coney sauce had a weird sweet taste to it - maybe that’s normal, but I didn’t care for it. There was honey all over the condiment packages (yes, they had those to-go condiment packages like you get from fast food restaurants - so weird and wasteful). The onion rings were greasy and seemed packaged. Nothing looked like what we had been seeing them post on their Instagram page. But the real issue was with our buffalo chicken sandwich we tried next...they served us COMPLETELY RAW CHICKEN. My husband took a couple bites and spit it out and we realized it was not cooked. I cut the breading off the chicken and it was completely pink with a white film on it. I asked the server to please show the kitchen staff immediately. She did and came back and rudely said “well there’s not much we can do about it now, we will comp your food, hope you don’t get sick”. I was appalled at her lack of professionalism and concern for what just happened. It was the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. We were so disgusted by what they served us that we had to go throw up our food. Also, the arcade was a joke - no quarter machines, one skee ball was just broken, and the other one worked one time then took our quarter and didn’t work again. I was hoping our bad experience was due to being there during the first week but it sounds like they haven’t sorted out their issues quite yet. Disappointing. I definitely thought this place had so much potential.

Not a good experience. We went at 5pm after seeing a segment on TV that morning about the place. Now you would think that a place that knows they are on TV would be ready and prepared for a busy day, not so. They took their time seating us and the place was not busy at all. Once we were seated it took about 10 minutes before someone finally acknowledged us. It was the Bartender but we were not in the bar. He leaned over a 1/2 wall and said with a snarl, someone will be with you shortly. Finally he himself came to our table and asked for our order. We both wanted the Coney Dog since that is what they focused on when on TV that morning. What does he tell us? THEIR OUT OF CONEY SAUCE!!!! What a joke! He was very abrupt, not one smile from him, he simply said "you can have a Chicago Dog or a Bacon Dog". We were not happy at this point but we ordered. After we ate we ordered a dessert which took forever to get and when it did arrive at our table it was not what we ordered. We left and never looked back!
