This place knows how to make a good hot dog. The dogs are tasty, the toppings are fresh, and the…read morefries definitely deserve some attention too. That said, it's one of those places where you leave happy... but also wondering how a couple of hot dogs somehow turned into a meal that cost more than you expected. It's not a deal-breaker, just enough to make your wallet quietly sigh. Still, there's something about a really good hot dog that keeps calling you back. Maybe it's nostalgia. Maybe it's the smell of grilled onions. Maybe it's because I keep convincing myself, "This time I'll only order one." Spoiler: I never do. Overall, it's a fun local spot with good food and a laid-back vibe. Not perfect, but definitely worth a stop when the hot dog craving hits.

We ordered the 2 dogs and fries for 8$ and as always- the Chicago Dog does not disappoint. We added funnel cakes for dessert but I wouldn't do that again- so, so greasy. We also tried the Greek salad wrap with chicken and I wouldn't order that again- feta, lettuce, olives and chicken w Greek dressing.

Most people get the hot dogs obviously. There's also lots of other grilled classics like burgers and that kind of stuff. Coming here the first time, know that it's pretty far away from the other popular places in town in the middle of nowhere almost. It's almost surrounded by nothing, but there's a few things around obviously. This is kind of close to the Snap-On plant. Look for that when coming here. The menu is mostly hot dogs but there's lots more to get though. It's $5 to get a veggie dog. With a combo it's $11 and includes a drink and fries. Cool. This is a way to get a lot for not a lot. Get some hot dogs and more from this classic drive in. It's on State Route 176 at Valley View Road. There's plenty for mystery meat eaters and vegetarians.

We have eaten at Dave's a few times. Food is tasty (my hubby always orders the chicken and I order…read morethe not-chicken). The not-chicken (cauliflower) is really good, especially at a hot spice level. Employees are usually very friendly and the place is always clean (sometimes it's a little sticky by the pop machine, but that is to be expected). My only complaint is that they need to crank the a/c in the summer because it gets very hot in there. Eating hot wings in a sauna is crazy.

I was super excited for this place as I have been wanting to try it for years, but I discovered…read morethat "hot dog is hot dog" and I wasn't impressed. I chose Famous Meal 2 with the Chicago dogs and onion rings; my husband ordered Famous Meal 1 with the beef sandwich + au jus and fries + cheese sauce. The highlights for me were the onion rings and the snap of the actual hot dogs. The toppings were good; now I know what a Chicago dog is (Tomato! Neon green relish! A pickle! Peppers! Mustard! Raw onion!) and I can move on with life. I took one bite of the sandwich and knew I ordered wrong. The meat was sliced thin and piled high. Curiously, every order is bagged up, whether you dine in or not. It is cute how they have rhymes when they call out orders (Number 388! No more wait! 389! Time to dine! etc). Overall, I was happy to try the hot dog and I would definitely return for something else. Pros: - friendly - lots of parking - open kitchen - fun decor and ambience Cons: - hot dogs are "just okay"

I ordered a southwest chicken sandwich that was on the spicier side but the chicken wasn't exactly the best quality, it was chewy, had a lot of rubbery pieces. Their apple cookie was absolutely delicious as a sweet treat. Overall it was an ok lunch, I'm not sure I'd return for a sandwich even though the flavour was delicious, the meat was a little suspicious!

I liked the choices and the portions but my one complaint is the very thick sub roll. There is certainly way more bread than needed as it took over the flavor of the wonderful meats, cheeses and toppings. I ended up taking the top half of bread off and ate the rest. It improved the sub flavor tremendously. It's a four star sub on a two star sub roll so three stars all day.
