We walked a complete circle of the entire arena before we decided what we were going to eat & drink. Luckily, Sheboygan was super close to our seats. I was impressed by the high quality brats and hotdogs...not just cheap fast food stuff we were forced to buy in the old days. I didn't expect this at a large venue. It was a nice surprise. Also, they have a variety of beer flavors, including higher end IPA type beers in case you're sick of the usual Bud Light type of stuff. Of course, they have soda & water too. I made 4 or 5 trips for meat and beers for our small group. Despite being super damn busy, the people behind the counter were consistently fast, friendly, smiling, and joking around. No sour faces...no sarcasm...just straight up great customer service for everyone in line. Thanks for some great brats & beer and big smiles, Sheboygan! -Daddy Maxx Retro

I just bought a package of hot dogs from Walmart never trying it before…read more I am 75 years old and have tried just about every hotdog made but never have I had one as good. It is crisp when you bite into it and the flavor was outstanding. I just can't figure out why the only place selling this product is Walmart.

If you're looking for a divey spot with comfort food, Uncle Franky's is definitely worth a visit…read more Their menu features a variety of hot dogs, burgers, wings, tots, fries, and other classic favorites. On this visit, I ordered the tots, a Coney Island Chili Dog, and a Wall Street Dog. Everything hit the spot and came out quickly. This is a true hole-in-the-wall kind of place. Perfect for grabbing a fast bite, people-watching, chatting with the locals, and soaking in the neighborhood atmosphere. Places like this have a lot of character, and I'm always happy to support local gems that make the community unique.

Lots of options to pick from, but I went with the classic Chicago hot dog and fries. There was about a 10 minute wait which I didn't find bad at all. Food was served hot and it was good.

I like a plain simple hotdog and that's what I ordered. I was hoping for the poppyseed bun, but these were OK but the hotdog was the hit. It had that crunch and was perfect. Fries were great, but I took him to go and eating in the car is not the same. It has skin on it and they were fried perfectly only slightly over salted which next time I may say less salt as they were very good.

Our first meal on our most recent trip to Minnesota: The Nook, promised by some as the best Juicy…read moreLucys in the Twin Cities. We walked in for a pretty late dinner, slightly past 8PM and this place was still crowded. Ten minute wait for a table, the concierge said, but there were free seats at the bar either downstairs or up. We decided to walk down to the bowling alley (a fully functioning, retro alley might I add), and order at the bar. Nook Curds ($13.75) - It's a big basket of battered and fried cheese curds. There's bacon mixed in the batter, giving that smoky and salty, meaty element, and then drizzled honey for some very complementary sweetness. The batter is lightly crisp and the cheese curds inside are completely softened, to the point of being gooey and stretchy. Definitely no squeak here, but these were so delicious that I didn't particularly care. (5/5) Juicy Nookie Burger ($15.95) - Now that's a burger. Huge patty, completely filled with a large pocket of hot, melty, gooey, stretchy American cheese that gushes out while biting through the patty. It's decadent and rich, and that patty - charred so well, giving a robustly smoky charred flavor along with a strong natural beefiness, a result of the patty only being cooked until medium pink. Somehow even with so much cheese stuffed inside, it doesn't leak out at all. It's a pretty simple burger, with just that patty, three pickle rounds on the side, and a bun. The bun is buttered and barely toasted, just enough to give a hint of toastiness and hold up to the massive patty. It cradles the beef like a baby and sucks up all the patty juices and cheese. The burger comes with fresh homemade fries, fried heavily until dark brown, making them similar in both look and taste to my secret craving for Better Made Rainbow Chips, which has a heavily caramelized almost slightly burnt flavor. And yet somehow they aren't over fried in terms of texture. The outside isn't super crisp like commercial battered fries, instead the clear homemade nature leaves some softer areas interspersed with the crunch. The insides, of course, are still perfectly fluffy, and there are little crumbs spread out all along the bottom for an extra crunch. These fries are the height of deliciousness. (5/5) Yes, I've been missing this kind of fatty, unctuous, filling, greasy, rich food after moving away from the Midwest to Seattle. You simply can't get this kind of food anywhere in the PNW. What a great start to our week long trip! Note: The Nook charges a 3% credit card fee that's disclosed on the menu Bathrooms - Larger ones on the bottom floor, probably more upstairs Food: [5/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 5/5

This had been on our bucket list for a while - glad we finally went!…read more It was PACKED on a Friday night, with quite a wait for a table, but we decided to go play score-your-own bowling on the ancient lanes downstairs while we waited. If you don't wanna wait, you can sit at the bar downstairs - or even put an order in at the bar and eat at the lanes. We ended up getting seated in the basement, which I highly recommend! The food was classic - great wings, great fries, great ranch, and awesome Jucy Lucy burgers. The ambiance here is top notch, especially in the basement. Very solid bar food, and though service is stretched a bit thin still a great experience. Bring cash for a soft serve cone after!!

OMG, I think I'm IN LOVE…read more And this place is literally SO CLOSE to where we live now, I can walk there in just half an hour. (Probably good cuz you gotta work off the calories from those malts...) I actually saw this place advertised on a road sign for eateries to expect on the next exit. Usually those get covered in all the food chains like Taco Bell and junk, so my interest was piqued and I announced my enthusiasm to my hubbie that we try it. DELICIOUS. We arrived on a lovely sunny spring day, so we chose to dine outside on their patio area. The inside had a fun retro cafe aesthetic that I'm sure we'll enjoy during the cooler months at some point too. The staff was incredibly friendly and in a good mood, which added to my own happiness upon arrival. We were seated and given menus to study, and I do mean I had to thoroughly study it. Picking out what I wanted was TOUGH. Everything looked mouth-wateringly good, but I finally settled on the patty melt on the marbled rye with the waffle fries. Excellent choice, and it was so humongous of a portion that I ended up taking half home and reheating it in my air fryer another day. Love that! Hubbie and I shared a large chocolate malt, which they gave us two glasses to pour into. It was also delicious. All the prices seemed pretty reasonable, especially for nowadays the way the economy is. IYKYK. We're already planning the next time we'll be back! Yummy yummy in my tummy!

We got a beef hot dog for $4 and dressed it ourselves with mustard, ketchup, sour krout, relish, and onions. They also had chips and beverages for sale if needed. There was no line and he was parked at a corner so it was easy to park quick and pick one up. The stand itself was cute and well maintained. We paid cash and he was able to make change quickly. We would stop and buy again if we see the stand!

I just had their food earlier today. What I liked was how supportive they are of community events…read more Because you never know where they might be. Even though they are usually in Mears or Rice Parks, which are located in downtown St. Paul. I mean for a hotdog cart or stand, their menu is real simple. I mean I could get a hotdog, braut, or even a polish sausage. With accompanying chips and soda/water. Of course they never they seemed to be busy, with short spurts of people, so I never had to wait that long. I decided on a polish sausage, with some chips and soda to go with my meal. Now once I paid they were ready right there with my meal. Now of course having the toppings make my meal. Like sauerkraut, mustard and well maybe ketchup. Of course since I was hungry the food not only hit the spot, but I was able to devour my meal in one sitting. Now my sausage was thick and really juicy as well. Far better than any ones I have had for awhile. Of course if I happen to run across them, it would be so much fun to maybe try a braut.

I really like CrunCheese. Before coming here I had never tried a Korean hot dog, and now I have…read morebeen back quite a few times. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The service is just okay, and there is not much seating available, but since it is basically a corn dog style snack, it is easy to grab and eat while walking around. I usually get either the mozzarella or cheddar dog and load it up with toppings. One is usually filling enough unless you are really hungry. I still have not tried the dessert dog, which seems newer on the menu, but I definitely want to at some point. I would recommend giving this place a try if you have never had a Korean hot dog before.

This is a great place to pop into when you're walking around or otherwise on the move. They don't have much of an interior, so plan to have your order taken and hangout for a bit before picking it up, adding some sauce, and tasting the magic. As a potato enthusiast, I'm partial to their potato hotdog but have tried a few of their flavors. These things are so tasty. The corndog was due for a rebrand and this is it!

Our server was super nice and even gave us a discount for giving us the wrong food before we needed to mentioned it. I got the salted Carmel and brownie malt. They kinda lacked the brownie but was still good taste overall. Appetizer: Cheese curds were decent, not super strong flavor but not oily and decent portion. Side of onion rings were pretty good. Again not strong flavor but made well. Upcharge $2 (service didn't mention) Atmosphere: Kinda loud because it's a smaller restaurant and harder to hear the person across from you. Nice older classic decor and look. Been there since 1986. Unfortunately the entree food was not good... Disappointed on the California Burger. Had no flavor. The tomato was bland and soggy, the meat had no seasoning or flavor. The avocado was dull and tasteless, Only good part on it was the lettuce. My boyfriend order the turkey club but didn't get that, the server knew it was the wrong order but still brought it to us. My bf didn't want to say anything, and the server said he took something off the bill (which we thought meant took the sandwich off, but gave us $9 off the bill) Overall. It was a decent, the appetizer, and malts are nice. But I wouldn't go there for the entrees.
