    Can't say I remember what we got here, but it was great.
    Grace H.

    One of the best hotdogs i've found around here and the price is always right. Usually a friendly environment and always reminds me that i'm in a small town with a lot of history. It's nice to stop in and sit down, the servers are so friendly; or even just grabbing a quick bite to-go has been worth it.

    The food here was good. Definitely great if you're in the mood for a hot dog. But it is nothing life changing. The service was good and the ambiance was very cute. Especially for Halloween

    Cryin' Johnnies Food Truck was parked outside of Liquidity Aleworks. We wanted snacks to go with our beer flights. They sold 15 kinds of hot dogs and 2 kinds of nachos. Everything was under $10. We had a Chicago Dog and a Sloppy Dog. They were ready shortly after the order was placed. The Chicago Dog reminded my date of home. The Sloppy Dog reminded me of Atlanta's The Varsity Chili Cheese Dog!

    Deserving three and a half stars, this turned out to be a pretty good lunch stop. If you are on a budget, this is an excellent place to come for inexpensive tasty food at barebones prices. It's an easy on/off from I-70 over to Main Street and there is a convenient parking lot just before the restaurant. I started with a cup of their crab soup. It's obviously homemade. It's not cream based. And you can smell the crab. It's chock full of veggies and bits of shredded crab. A cup is only $3.99 and it's a perfect starter. Since most everyone was enjoying a hot dog or a burger, we decided that's what we'd order. They also have a daily special lunch menu for Tuesday- Friday that includes a drink and fries for $6.99. You can substitute onion rings for a couple dollars more. I just got the naked dog. And asked for it to be grilled. It's pretty basic -- just a dog in a bun. I added my onion mustard and ketchup. For under $3 this can't be beat. My husband got a foot long, grilled, Chicago dog. It was huge and topped with a bunch of stuff including the requisite neon green relish. Heartburn city for me, but heaven for him. The gals at the table behind us were oohing over their cheesy crab dip served with pretzel bread. They do have some healthier options -- salads etc. So if you're passing by, this might be the place to stop. Keep in mind that every thing is cooked to order so no fast food here..

    Ok. I started my culinary road trip with Cryin' Johnnies and I wasn't disappointed. I got the Southern Dog and it was spot on!! Chili was good and the slaw had a hint of sweetness too. The fries are homemade and awesome. Really enjoyed this place. Next Hillbilly Hot Dogs in Lesage, WV

    Grilled chicken Sandwich & small fries.

    If you are craving some traditional American food such as burgers, fries and hot dogs this is a great local spot to order from. The fries are amazing! I was trying to eat on the healthier side so I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with mayo, grilled onions, pickle, lettuce and tomato. My sandwich was pretty good and I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. The kids meal however was a pizza on a flour tortilla. That pizza was the most disappointing thing I have ever seen in my life. It looked and tasted like something that you make at home when you are out of groceries and need to cook something up real quick. If you get a kids meal, I recommend to get anything except the pizza. Other than that the prices are fair and the other food was delicious! A family member purchased the gyro and it was delicious too. I do recommend this restaurant so you should give it a shot, especially if you do not live around the area and are driving into town! The indoor decor was spectacular and gives a great local restaurant aesthetic for photos!

    Good place to get American style food with an extra flair. They're known for their different hotdogs with various special toppings, as well as hamburgers. I tried the cheese stake sandwich and really enjoyed it. The prime rib meat was not chewy or stringy and they added a nice amount of melted cheese and mayo to make it juicy. The pack of fries is large enough to share with 3 people, especially since the hot dogs and sandwiches are filling by themselves. We ordered our meals to go and sat there as we waited for them to prepare our food. They were very friendly and made our meals pretty quickly, despite it being lunch hour and having customers dining in.

    We went here strictly based on the yelp reviews and were not disappointed. We were kindly greeted and took our meals to go. We ordered: -The Crabby Dog - DELICIOUS crab dip! -The Chicago Dog -Western Cheeseburger -Tater Tots (it was Tater Tots Thursday so we had to!) -Fried Macaroni and Cheese - yummy AND homemade! Everything was great!

    This is a really good hot dog place. However, only go when there is adult supervision behind the counter.

On our last stop, we tried the Cinnamon Roll Cupcake, the S'mores Cupcake and the Kitchen Sink Cupcake. All were amazing, especially the loaded Kitchen Sink variety. Their prices are fair ($3 - $4 per cupcake) and the people attending the store have been pleasant on each of our stops. There is no place to sit and I did not see that they offered hot beverages. So it is strictly a place to pick up your treats and go. The location is a little tricky. The only reason we found it the first time we stopped was due to the fact that we were moving between Chick-fil-A and Starbucks. Otherwise, it's tucked away a little bit and not easy to notice on a casual stop when visiting the establishments that comprise the major attractions at this exit (fast food and gas). But it's worth the stop if you know it's there.

    The cupcakes from the bakery are absolutely fantastic! Moist, well portioned, clever designs, and…read morebeautiful colors. If you go in their shop any given day you are sure to find delightful treats. For special occasions, they can't be beat. They made sure to ask questions for the birthday cupcake order that I placed that I had not even considered when I initially made the inquiry. Cupcakes were made exactly as requested and promptly provided at the designated time in quality containers that kept them intact during transit with no concerns of tipping or smooshing. We will absolutely be ordering here for any other upcoming special occasion.

I've tried the cinnamon roll (5$), ganache brownie (5$), chocolate chip cookie (1.50$), bunny trail brownie (carrot cheesecake layered brownie) (5$), and carrot cake whoopie (5.25$). The cinnamon roll was easily my favorite item. The cinnamon roll was pretty good with a good amount of icing and it's even better warmed up. The ganache brownie was the best brownie I had and warming it up is how it should always be eaten. The chocolate chip cookie is good but it needs to be warmed up to achieve the best taste. The bunny trail brownie (carrot cheesecake brownie) was very creative but it was just alright. The carrot cake whoopie was okay but it didn't really have the carrot cake flavor I was expecting, it tasted more like a spice cake which wasn't for me and I wouldn't get it again. All in all, i would definitely return and recommend the buzz.

Any regular here should be hooked to the stratas, although other seasonal breakfast platters will always satisfy. I have only been there for lunch once, but I regularly go for breakfast or brunch in the way to an appointment I make most months. So I can only say that the lunch menu also does not disappoint even if I can't call out a favorite. I have also enjoyed the pastries, and they are outstanding as well. And since the offerings change every month, one can never be bored. I always get great service, and all the people working there seem to really enjoy being there. The decor makes for a fun time too.
