Absolutely fantastic stop after a three hour drive!…read more Clean. Air-conditioned (thankfully because it's 100°). Friendly staff. I got Mel's special which had mustard, relish, peppers, and pickles on it. Everything seemed authentic to Chicago style hot dogs. Fries. The fries. Just... this is the way fries should be. Eff that coating that other restaurants put on their fries to make it more crunchy - these fries are the real deal. I also got cookies, because why not. The staff said that they cooked them daily and they tasted like cookies, so . 5.0/5.0 - as long as I don't get diarrhea in 3 hours, this'll be a regular stop during Tampa concerts going forward.

There is a large menu including burgers, onion rings, pasta, salads and more. The chocolate cake shake is a must.

In fact a great combo would be to to pair it up with a nice hot order of NOLA style beignets to go with that cold ice cream.

Great place to get some top quality casual food choices (I realize that's an oxymoron). We came…read morehere with 3 adults and 3 kids to get a good kid friendly lunch. One of the really interesting things about Daddy Dawg's is that they offer several premium brands of hotdogs to choose from (at slightly different prices). This includes Nathan's, Sabrett & Vienna as well as a couple of others. As usual, I had to try several things on the menu. I had the 6" Chicago beef with mild giardiniera (slightly disappointing that they don't offer a hot giardiniera), a Nathan's hotdog with chili & cheese, and a Nathan's hotdog with sauerkraut and mustard. I really liked the flavor of the chili and I was happy that they sauerkraut was hot. Some of the other choices were a foot long hotdog with bacon and cheese, a double cheeseburger and chicken nuggets for 2 of the kids. The French fries seemed just ok, not as good as the other things. As you can see on the menu, they offer a number of other options too. They have hand scooped ice cream as well as several famous ice cream bars from my childhood. All in all, a fun experience and everyone seemed happy with their lunch. The servers were efficient, the food came out fairly quickly and one of our servers was incredibly friendly and helpful. I think the 4 yr old boy in our group had a crush on her. The atmosphere / decor is just ok but it doesn't really detract from the experience. I would definitely come back again.

We try to visit a Coney Island Hot Dog joint each time we're in the Central FL area. Originally…read morediscovering the one in Zephyrhills, we've also been to ones in Brooksville and now this one in Largo. Upon arriving, the interior was very clean and neat. It had the vintage memorabilia on the walls that most of the locations still have. We were greeted by a nice waitress. It's always impressive when we get thanked for coming in and she did just that. I ordered the Norm's Bigg Dog because I'm a huge fan of loose meat. This foot-long hot dog had a pile of loose meat, cheese, and it was topped with coleslaw and several onion rings. Everything was prepared great and the bun was also delicious. My husband is a fan of the Coney sauce with cheese so he got a dog with that on it and it did not disappoint. We also had a small corn dog, which was fried perfectly. Love this place and if you like hotdogs, we're confident you will too.

I still love Portillo's. We were close by at Bass Pro Shops and wanted a milkshake. I remembered…read morethey had great ones here, and also that they put a free sandwich coupon on my acct. I came in and used their kiosk and scanned the Portillos's card which is on my phone. It's so easy and never used it before. I was able to get a regular Italian beef sandwich for free, & order a large strawberry shake. Both were soooo good. I waited at the next counter to get my food. Everyone was so nice and while I hung out there, at least three to four people asked if I needed anything. They didn't ignore me at all. Just smiled and asked if there was anything they could do to assist. That was def excellent customer service. I brought my Italian beef sandwich to the Xmas parade in Sarasota at UTC mall and I thought it was funny that at least 3 different people asked where I got the Portillo's from and if there was one in the area. I just said nope it's from Brandon. So cool to see that just a simple Portillo's bag could spark people's attention. It's so good! Can't wait for the one by Tampa Outlet mall to open. That would be closer for me.

This was not the best dining experience ... but because we were looking for a hot dog we discovered…read morethe Krate -- an amazing venue where they are located. We came inside the small restaurant and perused the menu on the wall. There's only a small counter inside so plan to find a table and eat outside. I ordered their New York dog as a foot long and left off the onion sauce. So basically a longer steamed hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut. Unfortunately, the hot dog was not hot (temperature wise) enough. As I was already seated outside and had returned the french fries -- they were lukewarm-- to be cooked more and to be heated, I wasn't about to go back a third time. I didn't care for their fries as they are the coated type -- not my favorite -- but at least they were hot and fresher the second time around. My husband had their Chicago dog -- which only comes in a regular size (6") version. It had all the toppings on it, but he thought it was just okay, as well. With so much competition in the area, they will need to step up their game. The positives are that the prices were reasonable and that they give a military discount to veterans.
