My three stars, as of March 2024, is a gift. Fact is, Hot Dog Express isn't what it used to be…read more Read my reviews, and you will quickly learn how picky I am. I'm also fair. I previously complained that this joint didn't take plastic (that has since changed); I've complained that after three cars deep in the drive-thru, one is at risk of being rear-ended on the busy road. I have never given a bad mark to the food -- until now. Indeed, the prices here are higher than the world's most famous hamburger chain, which is located a couple blocks east. Yet, the dogs here are salty (non-beef) wursts that are packed in cheap buns. When a joint offers such cheap fare on the $1.99 specials menu on a Saturday (mustard or ketchup dogs), I feel a bit taken. The chili, on my recent visit, was not the same as I remember. Though they might be using the same recipe they bought from the former owners, it tasted sweeter. The kraut was the same. The Polish dog was nothing like it used to be (and not in a good way). It is truly my wish that Hot Dog Express continues to thrive. However, after a recent visit, I've decided to get my hot dog fix elsewhere.

Very disappointed. Ordered a chili cheese hot dog with…read moremustard. No mustard and the unmelted cheese was like one of the square pieces for a sandwich. I may have gotten half a teaspoon of chili. The fries were like a brick.

My coworker got a cheeseburger, hot dog and fries. He always gets his beef cooked to well done (it's a culinary travesty!). I said that the patty was dry and overcooked...and he agreed.

And then there was a picture of a skull lol. It's very spacious inside. Parking is like downtown parking, we parked in the street. My husband's parallel parking skills could've been better. He's too used to his back up camera. You wait in line and order. The taste of everything was solid. It's fresh. The Cajun dog is made with alligator and pork meat. Texture was good. It's messy so eat it with the fork and knife they gave you, which is my mistake. Everything just tastes better when you eat a hot dog without utensils. The paddie melt is also good as well. The rosemary garlic fries had good flavor and same with the onion rings. They happened to just bring us out the loaded onion rings so we were pleasantly surprised. Service is friendly. Very nice place. The portions were actually loaded because normally I wouldn't think I'd be full from the food but it was really filling. I give it a four out of five because it didn't blow me away. But very solid. Definitely give it a try!

Offerings include a good variety of specialty fries and hot dogs. I had the Chicago Dog and…read moreBuffalo Ranch Fries. I paid up for the refillable bucket given you could pay $15 but advertises refills from $6-$8 ($6 for regular fries, $8 for specialty). I enjoyed the dog and fries and looked forward to my next visit at Canton the following month. I requested a refill for the Buffalo Ranch Fries and was refused, being told the bucket could only be used for refills on the regular fries, the Cajun snd and the Parmesan garlic, not the Buffalo, not the bacon cheese fries, etc. I asked why and was given an unlikely reasoning that it could meant the bucket, despite the bucket seems fine to handle the initial order. What is more, I pointed out that they do not advertise anywhere that the refills on buckets for specialty fries do not include all varieties of the specialty fries do that people wanting those excluded refill varieties know to simply pay fir a traditional order and not up-pay for the benefit of s refillable bucket for which they cannot receive the benefit on the same kind of fries. I do think if you avoid the refill bucket you will enjoy the food, which I'd rate a solid 4. Buy until they start to advertise truthfully, I rate a three based on a reduction for customer experience.
