We love this dinner! Great food and service. We only wish they were open later! Today we had blt with fries, corned beef hash with scrambled eggs rye toast, and eggs and bacon! No need to request crispy bacon or fries! The cook knows how to cook!
Just passing through town, googled where to eat, great find!
This is one of my favorite little places! It hasn't changed much at all.over the years, but that is what makes it so perfect. Their menu is very basic, and exactly what you would expect from a hot dog joint. Their hot dogs are great, the sauce is great, onion rings are epic. And the Red Wings decor is an added bonus. The staff here is also very friendly! This place is small and when busy it can be a tight squeeze, but that just adds to the experience! If you are looking for a good Coney Dog, it's a great pick!
So glad we stopped here!!! Hesitated just a second because it looked a bit run down on the outside, but I’m so happy we came in. Had a wonderful breakfast! Service was great and the food was wonderful! I watched the one cook as he prepared each meal to order No mass production. Everything was fresh and delicious!
Great breakfast in a small town. Friend service at a decent pace. French toast was good but slightly too eggy. Best breakfast we’ve had in town!
Great Coney dogs! The service is really good. Not a fancy place but it's really good. They also have a breakfast menu. You can get hotdogs at breakfast time if you'd like. Check out this great little place!
Always get great food. We love the smaller mom and pop shops they have the freshest food. Every time we get anywhere near them, we take the extra time to have food there. Just awesome.
Fabulous breakfast!!! The thick cut bacon is the best bacon that I have ever eaten! Eggs cooked perfectly! Huge portions!!! The building was a little hard to find and the outside sign is faded but don’t let that stop you! This is a hidden gem!!!
