    Good dogs I stopped in for a late lunch today. The place looks old but it also has character. In the room where you order and get your food they have old photos, and the dining room is a colorful place with wrought iron chairs and a small TV in the back. For lunch I ordered their Original Hot Diggity Dog (A Coney Island style chili dog) and a cheese dog. I liked them both. The Coney Island dog was authentic. Everything was ready so it only took a minute after I ordered before my dogs were assembled and I had my food. This is a comfortable laid back place. There was only one other customer when I was there today but they were engaged in a friendly conversation. On my only other visit a few years ago I remember the same thing happening, only with more customers. On my last visit I also had a very good burger, so I did want to mention Hot Diggity Dog offers more than just dogs. This is a family owed restaurant that has been around for decades. It is always good to support local establishments. I should visit more often.

    Hot Diggity Dog has been around since 1970. I crave these cheesesteaks all the time so am always happy to get a chance to hit it up when I'm in town. The Hot Diggity Dogs (chili dogs) are the only ones my family will eat! Fantastic old school service and family owned so you will always be treated well. Awesome French fries as well that give me some sort of childhood memory flashback.

    Hot Diggity Dog can be summed up in one word, "meh". Not bad, but nothing to write home about either.

    Have been going there for about 20 years. It was so good way back. It's not that good any more. Their time has passed for sure!

Immediately seated and had a great waitress. Alex took care of us and she gets 5 stars!! My humans ordered a wide range of food. American standard Cheeseburger, Grilled Chicken sandwich, Honey Chipotle Chicken Bowl, and a crispy chicken sandwich. I of course got the American cheeseburger and green beans. (no salt, no seasoning). My humans all loved the food and a good portion for the price. Everyone tried the Chipotle Bowl and some said we are getting that next time!!! Music to my ears-that meant we would be coming back here!!!! Alex made some special tea's (papaya and pineapple flavored). That seemed above and beyond the normal drinks and the humans kept saying how delicious it was. The decor in the place is pretty cool. All Ford themed and some cool cars and car things. . The bathrooms are a must see (even if you don't have to go). This was a little experience to go with my meal. Back to Alex.... brought me a bowl of ice water, kept checking on my humans and kept them filled up with drinks and made sure the meals were perfect. This was definitely a good stop and highly recommend it!!!

The food was excellent & super fresh! We especially liked the salads and bowls which are new to the menu. Also, the manager went out of her way to get my wallet back to me after forgetting it on the table. Going the extra mile meant a whole lot & saved me a 3 hour round trip. Thank you for being awesome!

Once our large group was seated, there were fans around us, so the bugs went away. I am from California, so I am not used to good service lol, so I was pleasantly surprised with all the "Yes ma'am," "Thank you, ma'am," etc. The server was nice and a total trooper with the number of people he had to keep track of because we all had separate checks. He did an amazing job, and we were extremely grateful. I tried their Housemade Crab Dip, and it was delicious. It was a great portion, really creamy, and well seasoned. For my meal, I had the Admiral's Platter. Everything was delicious, not too oily, and I loved the dipping sauces that came with it. Overall, it was a great experience with great service. If I'm ever back in Sarasota, I would love to come back.

No issues at all with the service. The two stars are for the food... I ordered the Firecracker Wrap with deep fried chicken, my partner ordered the hot dog and shrimp appetizer. My chicken was bland and mushy inside of the wrap, the side of coleslaw it came with was a 3 bite portion. My partner's hot dog was also bland, absolutely not worth the price. If quality and flavor matter to you, I would 100% skip this spot.
