I've been hearing this is the place to go for a hotdog for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the hotdog for some reason, but it did not disappoint. With my hotdog, I ordered the buffalo fries. Be prepared for a wait but that just means your food is going to come out hot and fresh! They give you the option to call it in if you are truly in the rush. The inside of the restaurant is small, but you can wait in your car or wait on the benches under the shelter. They will come find you and bring out your food. read more

This is exactly the kind of locally owned and operated spot I love to support by visiting regularly. This place is a bit off the beaten path, has seen much better days inside and out, but the broad menu and the hot dogs draw folks. Lise and Feras Alfares opened this spot in 2008, after operating a Mr. Softee truck for number of years in the neighborhood. The menu is centered on hot dogs and burgers, but is really broad, offering a large variety of deli sandwiches, hoagies, gyro, veggie options, quesadillas, nachos, flounder and shrimp plates, plenty of turkey choices, and several dozen toppings and condiments! I have tried hot dogs, burgers, sausages, nachos, and several deli sandwiches - there was nothing that I didn't like, but for me it all about the hot dogs. The ones here are almost at the level of PB's. read more

It was fine but nothing special. I went here after living in town a few years and hearing about it. Not sure what i expected but I had 2 chili dogs. They were ok but not anything special. read more

I love Hot Dog City. It's a great, charming, divey takeout restaurant with 5-star food and service. I love getting their veggie dogs with either a side salad or delicious fries. The veggie dogs are never mushy and always have great texture. The veggie chili is amazing, chocked with beans and fresh veggies and seasoned to perfection. They toast the bun, giving it the perfect texture to complement the dog. The slaw is also some of the best I've had, hands down. The salads are always super fresh, with large mounds of veggies on top. They're definitely a great value. But my most recent and favorite discovery is their fries. They're perfectly crispy, served piping hot, and topped with a delicious Middle Eastern seasoning blend that takes them to the next level. I can't even begin to describe them. Just order them. The best part is that the back of house staff are efficient and accurate and the front of the house staff are all warm, welcoming and efficient. Amazing service all around. read more

30 minute wait for a hotdog and fries is a bit extreme when it comes to your customer service. The lady said she was the only one preparing food, but it was a man working also. I usually do not get food from this spot so i wont be going back read more

I tired the veggie fries. I didn't know what to expect cause this was my first time here and my first time ever trying veggie fries. And let me let tell you something!! It will not be my last! I'm in love with the veggie fries! The order took some time, my husband also ordered the Philly cheesesteak which was freaking amazing. I must say it's the best I've tasted in Winston and I'm born and raised here. Trust me I will be back for my veggie fries!! Oh and that strawberry lemonade!!! read more

Met a friend for lunch who is a hot dog fanatic and we had to get hot dog city. They do have some of the hot dogs around and they load them down when you get it all the way. If it's not messy, I don't want it! You know the messier the dog the better it's about to be. read more

Yet another fantastic visit to hotdog city! My son, my daughter, and I were absolutely delighted with our meal choices. I opted for the Philly without lettuce or tomatoes, smothered in cheese sauce which I would rate a perfect 10 out of 10. My son decided on the chicken tenders and chili cheese fries; he mentioned that the tenders were different but still tasty. Meanwhile, my daughter indulged in a bacon cheeseburger and an ice cream topped with sprinkles - what a treat! The service was impeccable, with a very friendly staff earning a solid 10 out of 10. read more

The food is always good. I usually get the hotdogs and some tots. Service is also good...the speed it takes to get your order is acceptable especially if it's already a crowd there. They care about the food being good and being fresh for you.. they do have an outside eating area so it's convenient when you are ready to eat rite then and there. read more

I enjoyed my trip to Hot Dog City. It's a little different. I pulled in to the drive in and saw people sitting in their cars eating. This made me think that there is a car hop, but there isn't. You go inside to order. There are no seats anywhere. You order your food and then they bring it out to your car. It took a good fifteen minutes for the food to come out to me, but once it did it was very good. The fries were hot. I got what used to be called a Manhattan dog, but the guy at the counter wasn't familiar with that. Maybe he's new. It's got mustard and these bbq onion which are great. NO free refills. The menus I see on Yelp look pretty extensive and I would like to try some of the other sandwiches, but I'm not crazy about eating in my car. I'll probably be back. read more

Swung by hotdog city on Memorial day after a drive from Kernersville with myself, my husband and the two darling children. Saw some quick reviews and thought we would give it a try. This is a walk in and takeout location. So you sit in your car and you wait for them to bring the food out. We should've called ahead, but we weren't aware of that being option. my husband had the Philly cheesesteak. Oh, I had the best Ruben of my life and the small people ate a hotdog and something else. Everyone was ecstatic about how amazing the fries were and you get a lot of fries. I loved my sandwich. Did I mention it was the best Ruben of my life. Strange little location, great service, go there you'll be happy. read more

It's always a pleasure coming to this gem. Fantastic food and some of the nicest people in the triad.

Y'all may know by now, my favorite food is a hot dog. I'm always on the hunt for the best in the triad and Hot Dog City lived up to the hype. A true hidden gem slanging delicious hot dogs, Philly cheesesteaks, Rueben's , loaded fries, and other yummy dishes. We went with a few different hot dogs one of which had spicy mustard, charred onions, and BBQ sauce on it (The Manhattan), and their loaded Buffalo chicken cheese fries which were our favorite dish of the day! Already planning my trip back to try and fried okra and Rueben. The owners are such kind humans you'll want to support them. Trust me, this will be a new staple! read more

This may be the worst takeout we have ever had and we order out way too much. I don't write reviews but it's been 5 hours since we had lunch and I'm still mad. Our burgers tasted like school cafeteria boiled burgers with no seasoning and the cheese was congealed hard. All you could taste is mayonnaise and mustard. The chicken sandwich was ok. The hot dogs were sloppy. Chili cheese fries were soupy mess. Never again. read more

Hot dog city is one of the coolest hidden gem spots in Winston. The food was great and incredibly cheap. We tried the classic hot dogs all the way, and while messy, they were exactly what we were looking for. If you want a loaded up dog and some classic side choices, this is your place. It's in a pretty unsuspecting spot and the seating is limited, but the workers were kind and prompt. Will be returning for sure! read more

Definitely a hidden gem here in Winston-Salem! You have to travel a short distance outside the center of downtown to find Hot Dog City on the corner of Patterson and Glenn. There is parking right by the building. The ordering space inside is kind of cramped but there was some nice picnic benches out front where we waited on our food. Everything is made to order, so keep that in mind with wait times. No inside seating, so if the weather isn't cooperating, you'll want to take it to go. We were craving hot dogs and boy do they have options. Something worth noting - growing up in this area, I always recognized "all the way" on a hot dog as slaw, chili, onions and mustard. Theirs includes ketchup as well, and I am not a fan, so I'm glad I asked! They also asked if we wanted to add cheese to the all the way dogs which, we love the option to add cheese to anything! The hot dog has that classic toasted bun we all know and love! I will say, it is a good hot dog but not the best one I've ever had. The chili wasn't my favorite and it just overall didn't top some of the other hot dogs in the area for me. My friend ordered the Manhattan dog which had caramelized onions and a sauce which looked great. I definitely love the creativity! The winner of our visit was the loaded fries! We decided on the Buffalo chicken fries and wow. Packed to the brim with crispy fries, tons of chicken, ranch and Buffalo sauce. These fries hit just right! They also offered chili cheese and philly steak fry variations. Upon talking with the super kind lady working behind the counter, she said they're in the process of revamping their menu and would be adding more loaded fry options - YAY! I can't wait to come back and try more. Super affordable spot too. A gentleman leaving while we were eating said they had the best fried okra in the world, and another recommendation suggested the Reuben! Lots of options here, check it out! read more

Besides the location, Hot Dog City has the best hot dogs, smoked sausage dogs and food on this side of town. They have a really good vegan menu, they do not sell any pork. All orders are cooked to order but worth the wait. This is the place to go on your cheat day for hot dogs, wings, Philly cheesesteaks. read more

We've been here a few times and we've ordered some "hit or miss" items on their menu. What we like from hot dog city is of course their hot dogs, they do have some good chilli cheese fries,cheesesteaks, burgers, sandwiches; its pretty much your typical take out place. I would call your order in advance though, because they do take a little longer when you wait to order there, and each time we go, we get their delicious dessert like cheesecakes, ,sundaes, italianice, icecreams and my favorite the blueberry shortcake Despite the location and how run downed the building looks its still pretty good, it's like that saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" thats exactly what you'll think if you ever decide to try them out! read more

Y'all. If you are looking for quick, friendly service and well seasoned takeout, this is the place. I stopped in here after work and got two different hot dogs and the fish sandwich and all three were DELICIOUS! The topping selection is huge and the dogs themselves are a knockout. Not to mention the batter on the fish sandwich is perfectly crispy and flavorful. To top it all off, they had very reasonable prices that allow you to try a nice variety of their menu without breaking the bank! Absolutely will be picking up food from here again. read more

so you might want to bring some pencils and paper because the neighborhood is a little sketchy... but you walk in and a smiling guy takes your order and the cooks set to freshly preparing lunch. and less than ten minutes later your lunch special comes out! two dogs plus fries to go with the drink you got from inside :-)) dogs are tucked into lightly toasted buns topped with mustards, relishes, and fresh chopped onion... basic and basically good. fries are hot and well seasoned for my dining pleasure... no frills dining in your car or at a picnic table out front. but you get change back from a ten for a couple $1.50-drafts if there was, but there ain't, so tip generously and feel good about it... especially in times like this read more

Buuuuut.....idk what y'all did to that chili and coleslaw cuz my veggie hit dogs was SLAAAAAPPPINNN!!!! I inhaled both them thangs easily. Delicious!! The only thing I would have added was some dill relish. Damn those were some good hot dogs. read more

The food was so good! My wife visited with our kid to check out the Winston area and this place did not disappoint! The service was a bit slow but it was worth the wait! We are from Greensboro and were taking a family trip around Winston and came across this place. And let me say if this is the type of food Winston is know for, than I can't wait to explore more of the city! The environment was very friendly and complacent. There wasn't much disturbance around the area, considering we are from a loud city. The restaurants name should be more broad because of all the delicious items they have on the menu! I'm definitely coming back but bringing more of my family to check this place out! read more

As always, I come for the hotdogs(gotta order at least one all the way), and try something else off of their HUGE menu. Haven't had a bad item yet! read more

Hot Dog City was a blast! The service was amazing, the employees really made me feel at home. It's an amazing atmosphere, and it smells great. I'm addicted to Hot Dog City! For all of my fellow HDC lovers, I'd recommend the cheesy fries. read more

How this little place has been hiding from me for two decades I don't know. I tried when I found out and WONDERFUL . Describes this place best. I had the hotdog all the way and it was awesome. You could taste the flavor of everything!! To me if you can't taste what you're eating there is no point in eating it. They have regular, footlong and 1/4 pound hotdogs plus a decent variety of other sandwiches. Service is good but takeout only. The ambience is friendly but again takeout only. If you haven't tried Hotdog City on Liberty Street you really should ! Thanks again folks I'll be back ! read more

2 hot dogs, fried okra (or fries) and a drink was $5.01 total. Actually, the hot dogs surprised me. I thought they were pretty good. The chili was finely minced meat, with a slightly sweet taste. Okra was pre-made, but it was fresh from the fryer, and was a generous amount. Sanitary rating (you better believe I was looking for it!) was 96%. Lady that took my order wasn't that friendly. I have to say, I went in with a low expectation, but left satisfied with a decent meal. read more
