After just returning from Chicago. Been craving a Chicago dog. Decided to try this place. Well of course I wasn't going to expect it to be anything as Portillo's but my gosh they could've had a bigger dog and sport peppers as they say in their description not two tiny sad jalapeño slices. The fries could have been better if it had been crispier. But "Chicago dog" definitely not worth the $5.00. We were also charged $7.00 more, somehow... Not sure if prices gone up and not noted on their menu. But my boys enjoyed their Philly Cheese steak sandwiches.

This spot was the first restaurant I have ever eaten in Florida and it hit the spot right on! Super friendly staff!!

Waited 20 minutes for a bratwurst and fries. Fries were old, overcooked, and overseasoned. Some were cold and some were hot, which means I got old fries with new. I asked for relish and got less than a regular packet holds. Seems like they cook one (1) order at a time. Ridiculous and ill never be back or recommend anyone to go there. Asked everyone but me how the food was...

"Chicken bits" more like chicken nuggets

Ordered "chicken bites" asked if they where chicken nuggets lady said no that they are bigger n fatter then chicken nuggets... I disagree these Are chicken nuggets no different then going and buying chicken nuggets from Winn-Dixie frozen and they did nothing to try to satisfy me as a customer but to recommend me to come back and buy something different

This place is really good and definitely a place to visit if you are in the area. It's small and friendly and they don't only serve wonderful hotdogs! The fries are perfectly fried and the sausages super flavorful. I had the fried fish sandwich which was falling over the sides of the bun it was served on! Recommend!

The man that owns the place, Bob, is so nice. I would have came back just for the amazing customer service I got. I'm from South Jersey, I got a hotdog with kraut and mustard and it made me feel like I was back at home on the beach. The fries were really good too, fresh. Will for sure come back and try something else off the menu.

Very nice people. Lets talk about the Hot Dogs. Yes they serve an American iconic dog but I can make this at home. I would love to see some original toppings to make this place unique and really secure their place on the map. What I'm talking about is what I've seen work around the world; crushed chips, olives, different cheeses, mushrooms, peppers. Real unique flavorful items that can be easily refrigerated and not create a huge over head but make these hot dogs truly customized. I'm thinking a toppings board next to the menu with 30 or so random toppings that would make this place original within a country franchises...Just saying. read more

I eat here every now and again. The owner is a Steelers fan and a patriot. The restaurant is decorated with patriotic flags and Steeler stuff. I usually get a few chili dogs but they have burgers as well. If you go with the chili dogs ask for extra chili otherwise it will hurt your eyes looking for the chili. I'll eat here again and recommend that you do also. read more

Let me start this review by saying I truly believe that small local independent business are the backbone of any community and I always support them first when possible. With that being said, I had one of the worst, if not the worst customer service experiences ever. My family and I went to dinner around 630 and ordered dinner. Shortly after ordering the cook came to the counter to have a conversation with another customer about how she was upset with all the "strangers" that were coming in lately and how she wishes it was only the "regulars" and how terrible it was that it was still early for these "strangers" to be here. We have just moved here last week and we were excited to find a spot to become regulars but instantly felt very uncomfortable by her comments. Her next comments were about the food my boyfriend had ordered (a Philly cheese steak) and how she hates to make them and wishes they would be taken off the menu. That's just what you want to hear about the food you're about to eat! Five minutes into eating the women then makes a loud announcement to shut the drive thru and stop answering the phones. By this point I couldn't even tell you how good the food was or wasn't because I was so upset. When she announced she was locking the door (at 650) we had decided we had enough of being made to feel so unwelcome that we threw all our food away and left. I would never come back or recommend this place to anyone and it seems likes that's exactly the way they want it to be. What a shame! read more

Unfortunately this time I can not help support a local business who does not have time for their customers.

Look, Crestview. There is a large difference between food with love and pride put into it, and a flash frozen unseasoned excuse for food that McDonald's or Wendy's can provide. This place is home-grown, respectful, family owned and operated, and absolutely delicious. The craft and effort they put into your food is completely out of this world. I love everything on the menu, and would definitely come back every week for another one of those sweet Bacon Cheeseburgers with a side of those unbeatable seasoned fries. 10/10 love this place.

This is a great little hidden gem in Crestview. Bob the owner is a really nice and personable guy, and always makes it his business to ask and remember your name and you can just see the pride he takes in this place. His fries (as he justly boasts) are home made from fresh potatoes and fried on the spot. You will have dreams about these fries. But don't sell the dogs and burgers short.
