Hot Dog World - Lamb gyro. Maybe best kept secret on the menu. Usually take mine w/o L&T, add olives. So good. - Fast Food Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

Hotdog world is 10 out of 10. The slaw dog was incredible chilies amazing. The slaws amazing and the buns are toasted. My kids loved it. We also tried. The cheeseburger tasted like a cheeseburger you would grill in your backyard. The milkshake was recommended and was delicious thick and creamy. And the price for everything was so extremely affordable, especially for the current climate. I feel like I found an old school hidden gem!! The young lady at the front counter was super kind very helpful in somebody even came from the back and gave my kids to bouncy balls. I love the environment. It feels like a 1950s drive-in very Americana. read more

I have been going to hotdog world for years this is the first time I was disappointed. Did not get slaw on my hotdog my wife's burger was raw. I think I will give them 1 more try read more

I love a local fast food joint, and Hot Dog World was no exception. Be warned it can get busy. Very busy. Parking might be an issue depending on when you decide to go. On my last visit I was both floored and impressed by how many people were looking for a local hotdog. The service is friendly and fast. The atmosphere is no frills and rustic. And the food is solid. I must confess, it wasn't my favorite hotdog of all time. But that's OK. I still, very much so, enjoyed my visit. And I will return again when given a chance. read more

Hot Dog World - Fast Food Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

We've been coming to Hot Dog World for years. We live about an hour and 45 minutes from Hendersonville, so it's not an everyday visit, but every now and then it makes for a fun road trip--grab a couple of hot dogs, enjoy the mountains for the day, and head home happy. The gentleman who runs the place is Greek, and while they do have some Greek menu items, we've actually never tried them. I've stuck to the traditional American fare, and we've never been disappointed. I apologize for not taking better pictures of the individual items, but on this trip we had the classic hot dog--plain with a grilled buttered bun. We also had their regular hot dog topped with chili, onions, and mustard, plus a couple of slaw dogs that add slaw to the basic version. The grilled ham and cheese sandwich is always a winner, the onion rings are super crisp and never disappoint, and if you're craving something sweet, they've got those little fried apple pies that are super nostalgic--just like the ones McDonald's used to have when we were kids. It's not fancy, it's not fine dining, and that's exactly the point. Adjust your expectations, don't overthink it, and just embrace the nostalgia. Enjoy a freaking hot dog every now and then--it's not gonna kill you! The line may seem long, but if moves fast and your food will arrive hot and fresh! To those about to nosh, I'm jealous--and I absolutely salute you! read more

Hot Dog World - House Special Hot Dog. Stole some of my mom's onion rings - Fast Food Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

Had a great first experience at Hot Dog World. I've been trying to go for a long time now but whenever in the area it seems like it's always Sunday (when they're closed). Stopped in on the way from ATL to Asheville and so glad I did. They have a huge menu filled with plenty of options. Sammy's and hot dogs. We got a jumbo chili slaw and a regular slaw dog meal. There was a long line when we were there but decided to be patient and wait in it. The line moved super quick and we received our food maybe 5-10 mins after we ordered. Everything was very well priced too. The hot dogs were delicious! I would say for the price they are totally worth it. And the French fries were cooked perfectly. read more

The service here is very good. There is always a line at the counter and the staff moves people along. Food ----- The hotdogs appeared to be a lot smaller than in the past. Our hotdogs arrived....just warm. The vegetable broth soup was served hot. it had ample veggies, but was extremely salty. The French fries were short and were very good. The onion rings were excellent. *Hotdogs should always arrive, "hot". The roll should be hot along with the sauerkraut. we probably will not return. read more

We have been going there for years until we noticed he was buying cheaper brands of hot dogs, lettuce, chicken among other things. I loved their chef salad with grilled chicken, months ago I noticed that most of chicken was tuff and chewy in salad and some of lettuce was rubbery and tough to chew ! Wife noticed that her favorite hot dog was smaller and not as favorable before ( not Nathan) anymore. After years of loving that place we never eat their anymore, tasteless food and higher prices. read more

Great spot! Wife took me here for my birthday and I had a next level 1/4lb footlong with chili, slaw, onions, mustard and cheese. Fries, rings, fountain pops, soft serve and chocolate malts were next level too. Great spot for families, great spot to eat outside, kind people behind the counter and reasonable prices! 5 stars. I love hot dogs, loved hot dog world. read more

I've been wanting to stop by here and give this place a try, and I got my opportunity on 12/9/23. Stopped by here for lunch with friends and it was absolutely wonderful. This location was some form of drive in "back in the day". Many of the original fixtures are still in place and in use. I ordered a sausage hot dog and an all beef hot dog with fried and a Sprite. Absolutely delicious food!! The ambiance really had a 50's theme to it. We were greeted by friendly staff when we walked in and said we had never been there before so they explained everything to us. We sat with used to be the original dining room that has been converted with roll up type garage doors that open in the warmer months. Can't wait to go back and sit when these doors are open. We'll definitely be back for a return trip. read more

Not impressed tiny tasteless hot dogs at a premium hot dog price,I used to go there regularly for lunch years ago the hot dogs were so much better then but still small.This place is really popular in town and I honestly don't know way,the food could be way better.I realize the cost of food has skyrocketed,but at the prices their charging they could afford better quality food and still make a descent profit.This place has been in town for many years but it gone downhill read more

A Perfect Post-Camping Pit Stop! On our way back home from a camping trip, we decided to stop by Hot Dog World in Hendersonville, and it was the perfect decision! After days of campfire meals, this place really hit the spot. We ordered their classic hot dogs, a hamburger, and a shake, and everything was delicious. The hot dogs had the right snap in every bite. The variety of toppings allowed us to customize them just the way we liked, and they didn't disappoint, definitely not your average fast-food fare. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable, making this a great value for the quality of food. The service was quick and friendly, and the casual, no-frills atmosphere made it easy to relax after our trip. If you're in Hendersonville or just passing through like we were, Hot Dog World is definitely worth a stop! read more

I wanted to LOVE this place, but it was ok. My Grilled Ruben was made with lunch meat otherwise not bad. My mother liked her chili dog but expected it to be a bit larger. The fries were standard but really good. Hot, crispy, not greasy. My daughter had a garden salad, & was the most appealing, leaving me with food envy. Not a bad place. Prices were VERY reasonable. We were all served with drinks for $20-25, with tip. read more

The food is great. Burgers, hotdogs, chili and sandwiches. All very fairly priced and ample portions. This is a classic place in downtown Hendersonville that if you like hotdogs, you need to visit this place. The dining room has rolled top garage doors. And in the summer there is outdoor seating. You order in a line and they give you a number and you take a seat. They bring it to you. This is a place that once you come here you will be back. read more

We heard from locals at this place was super good, so we decided to try it out. My husband is a hot dog aficionado, so he had to try it. That hotdog was really good, very beefy and juicy. They actually have other things that are really good like their chicken and rice soup. They have burgers, gyros, and grilled cheese, too. The service was excellent and with a a smile. I thought it was very nice that the person behind the counter greeted a gentleman who had a veteran's hat on thanking him for his service. Very busy but fast service. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has sort of the garage/large sliding door feel to it. Next time I'll try the grilled cheese with an orange soda. read more

Cheap and good dogs. The tater tots were the highlight for me. The corn dog needed a bit more crunch to it. The little ones liked the chicken nuggets. They were similar to the ones from Wendy's. My oldest had a burger and she really enjoyed it. A family of 5 ate for $30. Can't beat the price! read more

Hot Dog World - Outside - Fast Food Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

This is one of my go-to spots for a quick bite. The staff has always been friendly, the menu is easy to read, and the jumbo hot dog with chili, mustard and slaw is my favorite! So good but definitely messy. Inside seating is a little loud if you're sensory sensitive. Outside seating is comfortable in the cooler months but obviously, expect flies in the summer. read more

I loved the size of those hotdogs because I could eat one in 2 or 3 bits. They have a great variety and I tried most of them with my family. The shakes are too! They have excellent customer service and I love their work system because it's all about providing quality dogs. I love the old walk-up line feeling and I'm going back tomorrow-don't judge me. read more

We went on vacation to Hendersonville and I posted on my local foodie fb group where to go eat and this was suggested by a few peeps! It was about a 10 minute walk just barely out of the quaint little shopping district where all the other restaurants are. It was a Thursday night and they were pretty busy! It's a go to the counter and order, they yell back to the cook, you pay, they hand you number and you sit and wait for your food type of place. It definitely wasn't the cleanest of places but the hot dogs were delicious!!! My husband ate his footlong before I could snap a picture, but pictured is the slaw dog -which has chili, mustard, onions and slaw, his foot long was the same but longer! I'd def get that the next time!! and then we also split the smoked sausage dog -mustard, grilled pepper and onions. And don't get me wrong it was good but I just preferred the hot dogs! The gentleman in front of us couldn't believe it was our first time eating there but I did explain we were tourists lol. He said it was owned by a Greek family and to definitely try the smash burgers the next time we get a chance. I wish my belly could've handled it this trip but definitely the next for sure! read more

Went to Dupont State Park to camp for the weekend and on the way back we decided to stop by hotdog world to grab something for the road. This location is situated in an old sonic location and has that classic drive in vibe. Evidently there was a festival happening in downtown propers so traffic was pretty packed the day we visited, but we were still able to find parking adjacent to the location. This restaurant serves burgers, hotdogs and the requisite sides like onion rings, fries and shakes. We ordered two hotdogs, one Carolina style one all American style and we ordered the single and double cheeseburger. We also ordered the onion rings and I tried the banana shake. Everything was great! The hotdogs were fresh and the Carolina style version had really good coleslaw and chili. Both burgers were really good as well but the patties are a bit thin so I would compare them more to a McDonald's cheeseburger, but they were flavorful, the bun was fresh and all of the ingredients were fresh. The banana shake was really good and the best thing I like about this place is everything is super affordable. Burgers were less than seven dollars hotdogs less than five dollars and sides less than five dollars. I would definitely check out this place the next time we're up in the Henderson area. read more

The place was buzzing with customers. Parking lot packed on a Monday evening. Amazed that the prices were very good. I wanted to try several things from the menu so I convinced my husband to split everything with me. I ordered the hot dog with Kraut and mustard. Came wrapped neatly in wax paper. It was fabulous. My husband ordered a chili dog and a cheeseburger deluxe with fries and a drink. His hot dog was also very good. The burger was delicious and so were the fries, crispy and cooked to perfection. The staff smiled and were very helpful. We had the choice of eating in a dining room setting with booths or in a "outdoorsy" setting at tables. The place was clean and the decor went along with the name "Hot Dog World ". My husband really loved the place and the food and so did I. read more

We eat here often. Great cheeseburgers and hot dogs. The chili is seasoned well, the slaw isn't too "soupy," and the fries and onion rings are crispy and tasty. Reasonably priced too, and large portions. There's a reason this place is always busy! Some reviews mention this being a cash only place -- that may have been true in the past, but they do take cards now. read more

I have been going to Hot Dog World from the time it opened. It was so much better when Steve owned it. When I turned 65 and felt too full if I ate a regular size meal, I started ordering kid meals. (I can get them at ALL fast food and some nicer restaurants, as well as senior meals, some places.) One day, I started to order a kid meal and was asked who would be eating it, and was told they charged more if an adult would be eating it. I said it was for a child, and got it to go. Another time, I wanted to upsize the drink and was told I had to pay for an entire extra drink. If I wanted to use a Scout Camp Card (before they stopped supporting the Scouts), they said I couldn't use it for a kid meal (even though it did not say that). Today, I was told they now charged extra for slaw on kid meals. About an hour after I ate today, I became very ill, so now I wonder about that. read more
