I ordered the Fonz Italian Sausage layered with pastrami (seemed like lunch meat) and melted cheese on top. I think it was provolone. Served on a toasted bun. Filling and satisfying, good flavor. The hot fries was a regular order of fries served with an imbalanced sprinkle sort of dumped on the top layer of fries and not distributed all the way through, which had an extra cost of $2 for the sprinkle of spices, which was an annoying difference in price in my opinion. Solid options for beer and a few ciders. Full bar as well. TVs on the walls only showing sports. You get a table number, order at the counter, pay, and they bring it out to the table number. Casual spot. My immediate thoughts...this place is overpriced. My sausage dog, fries and cider came to $26, plus tax, so about $31 bucks. I repeat, $31 bucks. I honestly felt as though the place was price gauaging. A few other people at my table mentioned the prices and thought they were overpriced. Not much service received, just them bringing the order out. Food was yummy, but I'm not convinced about the value. I have had sausage dogs, hot dogs, fries and beer around the world and I feel this place was overpriced. I like the atmosphere because its a perfect place for casual dining and decent for groups.

We really love Catalyst Hot Dogs! A guy from Jersey makes the best Chicago Dogs in this area! Their…read morefood trucks don't often make it deep into Howard County, so we watch their weekly schedule on social media. This time, (Apr 2026), the "big" one of their two food trucks was among the dozen vendors invited to Food Truck Friday at the Elkridge Volunteer Fire Department. This larger Catalyst truck serves their full menu: dogs, smash burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, soft drinks, and more snacks, sides, and sweets. Their menu has ten dressed dogs, vegan dogs, and fourteen toppings for build-it-yourself requests. There are combos that save you a few dollars. Ok, usually, they have those soft beverages, but for this event, the VFD is the sole beverage-seller, at good prices, as a bit of a fundraiser. Of course, we get Catalyst's Chicago dog! Tyler always has poppyseed buns he makes from fresh-baked rolls! They make a perfect mix of toppings with genuine short bitey sport peppers, bright tangy relish and a pickle wedge, fresh dense juicy tomato chunks, bright chopped white onions, good old yellow mustard. Every bite is a delight. Find a Catalyst Hot Dog truck. Get one of the best dogs in the area! For those who wont get to Chi-town any time soon, dive into this Chicago dog. It's authentic! And while that's our go-to, we admit we're coming back to try other vendors at Food Truck Fridays at the Elkridge Volunteer Fire Department! But most of all, we're looking forward to Catalyst Hot Dog's brick-and-mortar opening in Burtonsville in the fall of 2026! Oh, and a pro tip: If the listed hot-dog event is at a smaller venue, call that venue ahead of time. Sometimes the events cancel or change dates without enough notice for Catalyst to post about it. Please don't ask how i learned this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got a premium beef dog with potatoes. They ask if you want sugar and the answer is yes. You have different options of what to top your dog with so I did ketchup, mustard, spicy, and mayo... almost everything (lol) The dog itself is a bit underwhelming but everything around it is perfection. I think next time I'll try a rice cake dog or a mozzarella dog for more novelty. My only wish is that the dog tasted more like a Kirkland hotdog from the food court! (Take notes, Oh K-Dog!) My friend got an egg toast and she loved it! They make the experience a little less messy with their packaging but she def still needed a fork and knife to finish it -- just a heads up for those that like to keep it clean while eating! Seating is abundant, but it does get crowded. Highly recommend Oh K-Dog if you're in the Ballston area :)

Who was Weenie Beenie and what is it like? We had no idea but we knew they were one of the first,…read moreif not the first, to serve the legendary half-smoke sausages only available in DC. The visit was unique, the story is unique and the food is unique! Let's do this! Established in 1950 or 1954 (reports vary but the sign on the building says 1954), Weenie Beenie was a modest hot dog stand serving hot dogs and beans. It was started by two brothers, Carl and Bill Staton. Bill happened to be an incredible and ultimately famous traveling pool player who went by the name... you guessed it... Weenie Beenie! He won 27k in Arkansas (which is a LOT of money in the 1950's) and used the money to finance the hot dog stand's growth! He appeared on television, played hustlers across the country, and backed other hustlers while living the pool and entrepreneur life. During the 50's, a period of entrenched segregation in Virginia, Weenie Beenie distinguished itself by hiring black employees on the same terms as whites when most white‑owned businesses would not hire blacks at all. This made Weenie Beenie a rare example of early workplace integration in Arlington and a meaningful employer within the historically Black Green Valley community. Its reputation for fairness became a very important part of its legacy, remembered along with the food and its very colorful founder. We popped over and found a 70+ year old walk-up stand with a colorful, diverse and engaging set of customers and friendly service. In faded letters on the front wall to the left are the 10 commandments! No breaking any divine rules at Weenie Beenie's! We all chatted and I learned the one guy comes every day! The old man in the suit was very polite and reserved. The younger Latin and black clientele were fun and engaging and we joked around quite a bit. Another older man was as 38-year veteran of the armed service! Thank you sir! I heard some stories... Of course, we ordered half-smokes! They are well-seasoned half-pork, half beef, smoked sausages that are truly incredible. Weenie Beenie's are unique and delicious! Life is good with a historic, unique, fun and respectful half smoke.

Sometime during…read morethe second inning, half of the group left to find something to snack on. 2-3 innings later, they each came back with a K-Dog which made my mouth water. Despite the inflated stadium pricing, I soon scurried off to find Ssong's Hotdog, which is located near Section 308. The line was sizable, so I waited about 15-20 minutes before it was my turn to place my order. Unfortunately, they were out of almost everything. The potato mozz sausage stick -- the one I drooled over -- would require a 30 minute wait, which I wasn't down for. MOZZ SAUSAGE STICK - 11.49 This was the only option they had left, which is half mozz and half beef sausage. It was pretty small -- four bites and it was gone. The top half was the mozzarella part, which was completely hollow with maybe a few cobweb strands of mozzarella, so it was mainly batter. Overall, incredibly disappointing K-Dog, and it was stale too! I don't know if I'll attend another baseball game, but if I do, I don't think I'll be back at this K-Dog stall.

They were having a Internet outage while I was there and instead of letting all their hot dogs go to waste, they gave them out for free, not only helping introduce newcomers to their amazing hot dogs, but also reducing food waste. I love business practices like that. I would've already supported them anyway since I seek them out. I also came back later when they were online and ordered a Boba while I was there. they were able to mix their two flavors together, making something even more delicious and new to me. I highly recommend the spicy potato mozzarella dog.

That makes it easy to scroll through options, pick what you want, and pay. The challenge was that it wasn't updated with which donut flavors were still available. The donut that I ordered via the kiosk was no longer available so the person behind the counter had to walk me through what was available so I could choose one of those. The food took a little longer than I thought it might but I was able to people watch in the bustling food court area. No matter which stall you order from, your number and restaurant is called out via an automated system. Once I got my potato corn dog, I was able to add whatever sauces I liked at the counter. They included mustard, sweet and spicy, supreme, spicy mayo, and one more that I think I'm forgetting. Overall the corndog was tasty. Super crispy on the outside and, as a sauce lover, the sauces were great. Very classic Korean corn dog and delicious. The mango donut was delicious too. So light with a wonderful flavor.

Everything was absolutely delicious, and I can't recommend this place enough -- especially knowing they're part of our local community. I've walked past this gem so many times without realizing what I was missing! It's tucked away in the Home Depot parking lot on Little River Turnpike, so don't sleep on it.
