    Cheap and enjoyable road trip stop. There are other restaurants, statuesque dinos, and a mini golf course in Dr Doolittle's Plaza (?), but we came here for what seemed like the quickest option. It is also very, very cheap. You can eat inside or sit out on a bench. There are ordering windows inside and outside as well. We got a hot dog, cheeseburger, milkshake, ice cream, fried cauliflower, and a large curly fries for less than $25 (including tip). They had a variety of ice cream flavors. I got the banana cream pie which was very much exactly what it said on the label. I wish we'd had more time to spend here because I'd love to see what their other restaurants are like. There was plenty of parking around and we had no trouble even with a Uhaul and a car tow.

    Life sized dinosaurs

    This place is a GREAT stop off of I-80. The LIFE-SIZED dinosaurs set into the hills of PA are spectacular, not to mention old train cars, model trains, mini golf, coffee, and ice cream. But seriously: DINOSAURS!! Delicious iced latte (whole milk, coffee flavored (no syrup)). Smooth and delicious with no burnt or bitterness. So good I got a second one after checking out the dinosaurs and train cars. The depot building is beautiful and the bathroom was actually lovely. Friendly service. The only thing I would add would be a changing table and hooks for coats/bags in the bathroom. This is worth getting off I-80 to see. This is the about the Aegis coffee at Doolittle's Depot.

    Steak and cheese sandwich

    When visiting family in the area, we frequently stop here for a bite to eat. This is an all welcome type of place. Fun little things for the kids (and those of us who forget we are adults), photo ops, great casual atmosphere, and ICE CREAM! It's an order at the window and seat yourself type of place. Quick and friendly service with generous portions.

    Pizza burger

    Holy Mac and cheese bites at a little hole in the wall! I've always gotten off this exit to refill and sometimes spend the night at the holiday inn, but never have I ever made it to this little restaurant until yesterday. I tried the pizza burger and the Mac and cheese bites and those bites are some of the best Mac bites I've ever eaten in my whole entire life. Period.

    A true treat with plenty to see, eat & do. From authentic train dining rooms to mini golf, plan to spend an hour or so & bring a camera.

First of all the parking lot was jammed pack (which is normally a good sign food is delicious). I'm a sucker for foot longs and not someone claiming foot longs and instead it's just 2 hot dogs. No they legit have the footlongs. I also love chili sauce so when I have a new chili dog to try, imma try it! If you like a slight sweetness and a hint of cinnamon then this sauce is for you! It was a good sauce, not my favorite chili sauce but it was a yummy sauce. My husband loved it! There curly fries aren't like your normal curly fries they are fresh cut, so they are thinner for a crispier fry. I'm not a fan of fresh cut fries but I didn't realize it would be. All in all I would definitely recommend and definitely plan on going back. Believe or not it's actually a cheap place! I absolutely suggest you go!

I had been looking around the…read morearea for a place I had never been and one that offered something that I really wanted to eat. When I saw Altoona's Original Texas Hotdogs pop up I didn't have to think much more about it. Located in downtown Altoona, this place has the charm that you would expect to find in some bustling metropolis. However you have it here in Altoona, one of Pennsylvania's biggest cities but with a small town feel. I walked in and made my way to a booth, I was greeted on my way to my seat and told someone would be with me shortly. I sat down and looked at the menu on the table and made my decision fairly quickly. The employees in here are friendly and keep an eye on everything that is going on. Once they saw that I was done looking over the menu someone came to my table to take my order. After placing my order I felt very welcomed here. Every thing I asked for was followed by a "sure thing hun" or "you got it." Waiting for my food I looked around a bit to check this place out. There is the counter that you can order take out from or pay on your way out. Behind that is the grill and fryer where all the food is prepared. Off to the left of that is a counter top to sit at. There are booths along the one wall and some table tops between the booths and counter top. There is also a seating area to the rear of the building. After my look around the restaurant my food arrived. Two Texas Dogs and an order of Chili Cheese Fries. Medium drink to top it off. That came to a reasonable price under $10. The dogs were a bit onion heavy but palatable. I love a good chili and they definitely nailed that here. Not too greasy and the meat was really fine and you could eat this like a soup. Add some mustard and these things are ready to go. The fries were swimming in goodness. Fresh fried these are then topped with a generous portion of both chili and cheese sauce. You need to eat these with a fork unless you are alright with getting a bit messy. One thing you'll need to know here is that if you are getting food most of it comes on paper plates, unless you get a bowl of chili or a side that would soak through, everything is disposable here. Another thing to know, if you pay with a card you will be charged a fee.

Fortunately, I tip for service not for the food. It's not the waitresses fault that the food is awful. Last visit I just wanted something simple, not a lot of food. Ordered Nachos with beef. They beef turned out to be very thin chili sauce, thinner than canned Hormel from my childhood when Dad was struggling to keep us all feed. Terrible taste, about half of the Nachos chips are pieces. Today will be my last visit. Went for breakfast and had French Toast and bacon. Bacon was cooked perfectly. The French toast was served uncooked side up. Seriously, bread dipped in raw egg and didn't touch the grill. Not going back, this was the third strike and I do not believe in self-inflicted pain or salmonella poisoning. Just so this is a total negative review I will say that I've had the lamb and beef gyro, it is actually better than what the authentic Greek restaurant in Warren serves. At least THL uses real tzatziki sauce, instead of substituting ranch dressing that The Plaza uses. There are no good restaurants for 50 radius of Warren or Kane. Just eat at home.
