Took a long time to finally stop out here. Jack's is a small and quaint restaurant on Hwy 17 in Mt. P. It's a standalone location with plenty of parking. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. I ordered a couple of specialty hot dogs and they were good but nothing was too memorable. I wanted to try the craft sodas but they were out. I may visit again to try something else but it's no Perfectly Franks. I wish they'd expand on the menu but I can see why they haven't. read more

Jack's Cosmic Dogs - Blue Galactic - Hot Dogs Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Super fun place! If you're craving a hot dog and ice cream after the beach, then you should stop here! My husband and I were at IOP for the day and wanted a quick snack after so we stopped here. The decor is super fun, they have some outdoor seating and fun lights outside. Inside is funky as well. I got a build your own hot dog and fry combo...hot dog is delicious , also for cheese sauce and ketchup on top. The fries could be bettee, mine were slightly too crunchy a bit over cooked. My husband said his were good and he also got the blue cheese and slaw dog. Food came out quick, service was friendly, and prices are good. Great place for kids. Will be back for sure. read more

PLEASE stop here if you're traveling and want to experience some fantastic hotdogs and fast, friendly service! We were recommended Jack's Cosmic Dogs by a friend and it did not disappoint. Upon walking in, we were warmly greeted by several employees and promptly helped. The young man at the counter was very sweet and friendly. While we waited for our food (which wasn't very long at all), we looked around at the thematic decor and were appreciating the retro vibes - from the art to the gum-ball machines to the tables & chairs, the restaurant is well put together and is certainly fun to look at. We ordered the Blue Galactic, the Atomic, the Big Bang Fries, and draft root beer. The hot dogs were delicious and were on sturdy buns that were perfect for the mountain of toppings! The blue cheese coleslaw is something new & different and was very enjoyable. The Atomic was nicely balanced between the mild chili and the spicy mustard. The fries were well-done shoestring fries that held up well to the generous portions of chili, cheese, bacon, and jalapeños. We added Texas Pete hot sauce to the fries from the condiment bar. The root beer tasted great and it was fun that it was draft! Overall, a great spot to visit if you're in the area. We drove about 15 minutes and it was well worth it. We got the impression it is a family run restaurant, which we love to support. read more

Unique dog, definitely recommend the Blue Galactic. Good inexpensive meal, fast service and beer on tap or in bottles. The blue cheese slaw is a unique change from the usual chili dog with slaw. read more

Who does t love a roadside hotdog stand? Right. This one is a step up for sure. From the eclectic divey decor. To the hotdog menu- stuffed full with delicious condiments. You can also build your own. Indoor and outdoor seating. Super fast service!! You will leave full from one hotdog. Not the place to order a plain hotdog. The fillings are way too good to pass. read more

Was really excited to come here because it seemed like a cool spot. But it ended up being a very underwhelming experience. They were out of soft serve chocolate ice cream so I couldn't get the swirl that I was looking forward to. We tried to order Oreo ice cream here because we saw that they had something called "orbital Oreo" but what they had was just Oreo cookie crumble, not like with the cream or anything. The decor was fun and cool, felt like we went back in time like the 90's. But the staff just seemed like they did not want to be there, I would've expected the vibe to be more vibrant but the energy was just very low. It wasn't the cleanest and most organized place so I don't think I'll be back. read more

The food was fresh and really really good! As a pregnant lady, I thought the food was phenomenal specifically the hotdog the fries, milkshakes, and lemonades were amazing as well! The kids corn dogs though.... I would sell my kidney for it the service was amazing! The workers were so kind and helpful! He helped my husband bring all the bags to the car because I was waiting with our kids in the car! The ambiance was pretty chill and lay back. Such a cozy place and fun!! read more

Hot dogs were cold and undercooked. Fries were also cold. Threw both of them in the trash when I arrived home.

Went to go there on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch and it was closed. Listed as open on Yelp. In the past, it's been a fun place to go so I'm hoping they're not closed down for good. read more

We arrived about 15 minutes before closing and pulled into the parking lot. As we were parking, an employee walked out, made direct eye contact with us, turned the sign to "Closed," went back inside, shut the door, and locked it before we could even get out of the car. This wasn't a misunderstanding. He clearly saw us. We had just taken our dog, Carver, to the beach after telling our kids that he has cancer. We planned to grab hot dogs for our family and one for him. The way this was handled was unnecessarily dismissive and upsetting for our entire family. I understand closing policies. I do not understand intentionally shutting down in front of customers who arrived before closing instead of communicating directly. Their closing hours are already in the middle of dinner time (6:00p), but this is the second time we've tried to stop in and they closed before their published hours. This time just felt exceptionally distasteful. We won't be returning, and I won't recommend this business to others. read more

Nostalgic, affordable place to bring kids. All and all food was good, coleslaw was fresh, but fries and chili weren't seasoned very well and also seemed a little old. Had a fun family night though and kids loved that you get an ice cream token with a meal! read more

Came on a Tuesday for lunch. Very cool decor with Family Guy on the tv. Service was excellent and fast. We had the blue galactic and a brat with sauerkraut and they were good but not earth shattering. French fries were fantastic! Crispy and golden! RC colas in the bottle were great. We'll be back for sure thanks! read more

I'll start this off by saying I've been craving jacks for awhile. Show up today, employee smoking Out front . Not open at this time so didn't think much of it. We waited in the car with our 2 year old. Got out at 11 in the freezing cold and they wouldn't open the door. Saw 2 people walking around, we knocked, no acknowledgment. We even called and they wouldn't answer the phone. Also 3 cars waiting outside with us. Might wanna get some new employees that actually care to open on time. Careless, I'll take the sacrifice and no longer attempt to go. read more

Paid $6.50 for a small root beer float that was all ice cream and a tiny splash of root beer. About half way through I waited in a long line to ask how much it would cost to top it off with a little more root beer and was told I'd have to buy a whole cup of root beer at $4... Cashier was unsympathetic that the first one was disappointing and I didn't want to pay $10 total for a decent root beer float. Fries were a bit tough too. read more

Good place to get a dog and fries. They've made some changes inside so there is more seating. Parking is pretty good but this is the first time we had to wait for a long time for our order. Disappointed no more vinegar for the fries but they are still good. read more

Jacks has a fun retro atmosphere. The counter help was friendly and helpful. Dogs served on soft toasted buns were delicious. The Vegeroid with dill relish and homemade spicy mustard exceeded my expectations, and the Atomic Dog with chili, spicy mustard, and onions wasn't very spicy. Lost a point because the place could use a good cleaning. read more

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Mount Pleasant, but I would not personally be a regular. The menu was creative, especially for hot dogs, with combinations such as blue cheese coleslaw and home made mustards. Despite this, the service was slow and prices were not as cheap as you would expect for the amount you get. Overall, the food was good and atmosphere cute especially if you are into the retro theme (they even had arcade games). read more

Went in at 7:30pm 4/25/25. After placing my order I was told by the young female and young male working that they didn't have any fries bc they were going to be doing something to the fryers later. I got my HD and drink and I told the young man I would need to order another HD (for my elderly mom) before I left and before closing. I went up there to order my mom's HD at 7:40pm and the girl told me they weren't serving anymore food for the evening!!! I explained that I had let the guy know I needed another HD. I was pissed. It was obvious that they just wanted to get out of there. Although the HD was good, service and attitudes were far from it. Will not be returning read more

Decent menu. Unique offerings but nothing to go out of way for. Took out of town visitors hearing it was the place to go......Meh! read more

Retro themed diner! Cheap dogs and lots of ways to order your dog. The chili dog really hit the spot and was devoured in seconds. Try the Jack's Cosmic Dog with the sweet potato mustard. Fries were hot and fresh. Order at the counter, wait for your meal and when its ready pay at the counter. A little odd but I guess it works for them. Could also buy tokens to play some of the arcade games. Wish I saved room for ice cream too. All was decently priced! read more

Really wanted to love this place, and it was underwhelming. Entering the place, the door looked like it could use a wipe down and update. The decor was kind of kitschy and cool, and I enjoyed that part of the experience. I walked up to the counter and a young man and young lady who had been sitting got up and he went and stood in front of the counter, not saying anything. I finally realized her worked there and wasn't getting up to get in line. So he was on my side of the counter and had this little iPad that he took the order on which was kind of strange as there was another girl on the other side of the counter but anyway they were both pleasant enough. I ordered the blue Galactic dog which they told me the blue cheese coleslaw was their specialty. It does not belong in a hotdog. It had way too much dressing and was soggy. Blue cheese was all you could taste in it. The dog also had chili, which was ok, cheese which tasted like the cheese from the 7-11 hot dog bar, and a mustard the girl described as a sweet potato mustard. I think I got a hint of a taste of it, but not sure with the chili and blue cheese drowning it out. The hot dog had a nice bite with the casing. The bun was just ok, perhaps toasting it would help. The fries were forgettable-tiny portion for the price, of which some were burnt, all were soggy, and it looked like I got the very bottom of the fry bag-tiny, broken up pieces of fry. The strawberry shake was easily the best part of the meal. Fries appear to be the only side choice, which was disappointing. The condiment station had a lot of bottles that were mostly empty, and there wasn't much variety there. There were pumps behind the bottles but they didn't seem to be working. I did go into the bathroom to wash my hands, and there was hair in the sink. To be fair, there was a lady walking around cleaning while I was there. There was only one group of 3 people there the entire time I was in there, which was about 1 pm on a Friday. Be warned-the location is extremely difficult to get in and out of! read more

I'll admit I'm a hot dog snob and hard to please. My idea of a great dog is a hot (temp) hot dog on a soft warm bun with yellow mustard and pickle spear. Not half a vinegar soaked pickle, a real DILL pickle. The hot dog skin should have a snap to it when you bite into it. Jacks dogs do not. The dogs are soft and mushy, the buns are dry. I had the Cosmic Dog and the chili was from a can 100%, not good. The onions had zero flavor. The regular order of fries, while good, were an extremely small portion. But fries were best part of meal. I know they are under new ownership and things have changed since Jack sold it. Back in the day this place rocked. Not so much now. read more

We are from out of town. This is the best hot dog ever. I love the blue cheese coleslaw, the chili is phenomenal and the basket fries with all the toppings is delish! Highly recommend read more

Honestly, wasn't a fan... I have always heard everyone talk highly of it and I just... Don't understand? When you walk in, it seems small but there is a wall blocking you from seeing an additional seating area. You begin by ordering at the counter, get your cups and wait for your food. You pay when the food is picked up. The shop is crowded with decorations and other various things and seems a bit dirty. It also has wasn't very bright in there. The food was so boring. I was expecting some spectacular hot dog, but it was a small, not very hot (barely warm) hot dog. The bun was also very cheap tasting and feeling in the way it fell apart. The chili didn't really have any flavor, the cheese sauce was only warm, the corndog was a bit greasy and the fries were terrible. They were soaked in grease and basically chips because they were way overcooked and crunchy/hard. Barely any soft ones in the bunch. The kids meal was okay- only $5. Hot dog, juice(Capri Sun), mini moon pie and fruit. They gave her Jello instead of fruit, though. I wish they would have told me that before I ordered though. For what we paid, it wasn't worth it. Not worth the money or drive way over there. The staff were all very polite and helpful, so they earn a star on their own. read more

I wanted to love this place because it's so close to us, but this didn't do it for me. The hot dog was was fine, fries were good and we didn't have a milkshake. But for two dogs and fries it was almost $30 without tip which seems like a lot for hot dogs??? Wasn't worth it IMO and the onion slaw ruined it for me. Will try again one day to see if we ordered wrong! read more

The service was good, the food was amazing in my opinion. The astro dog was my favorite. The chili was amazing and the hot dog itself was cooked good. The ambiance on the other hand was not great. It kind of stinked inside, and the metal seats felt dirty. read more

This is a place you go for the decor, not the food. First, their menu says "Dill Relish", and it is absolutely NOT dill relish. The hotdog was a mid tier hotdog. You could get a comparable hotdog at Costco for a lot cheaper, or even make your own hotdog in your microwave. The decor is neat, though. Overall, very disappointing. read more

Food is mid at best and very expensive, customer service is a disgrace. Arrived at 7:20, on a Tuesday close at 8PM was told we could not eat inside because they were cleaning up and getting ready to close,had to eat outside. Outside furniture is rusty and dirty. Girl making our milkshakes was vaping, not sure how that is allowed around food. Place is dirty and employees seem to not care about it. Don't go, buy a pack of hot dogs and buns and grill them yourself. read more

Immediately rushing to write a review because I want this Jack's location to stay open indefinitely. My friend knows I'm visiting Charleston this weekend, and he texted me, "How was Jack's?" knowing damn good and well I go every time I visit (sadly, though, I won't make it this trip). We were having several different conversations via text, and he confused me, making me think Jack's permanently closed (it didn't; he was talking about another place). I felt a wave of panic rush over me, and I ran outside of the store I was in and immediately called Jack's Cosmic Dogs to double check. All is well. Phew. Anyway, I don't really eat hot dogs because, quite frankly (no pun intended), I don't really like them all that much. They freak me out. Sometimes I do get cravings. Anyway, I DO eat hotdogs from Jack's. My favorite is the Blue Galatic Dog, which has the chili, bleu cheese coleslaw, and sweet potato mustard. The hotdog's are all beef Boar's Head brand. One hot dog is not enough (just because it's so good) and two will make you sick from being too full. I always order two. Ha. Fries are good, skinny and crispy. Make sure you add the homemade star dust seasoning to it. The same people have been working there for years. They are awesome. It makes me feel at home with a sense of comfort and peace to see the place is still the same, even if it is months between my visits. Love it here. Something I find ironic is I was turned on to this place years ago while in college at CofC by a vegetarian friend who loved their tofu dogs, grilled carrot "hotdogs," and veggie/black bean burgers. read more
