    Lunch at Larry's Dawg House
    Brent W.

    First time eating at Larry's Dawg House. Grabbing a quick lunch during my field time in Athens. This is a quaint little spot located near the hospital. It has a large dining room and simple menu of hot dawgs and burgers mostly. I order the cheeseburger since it was recommended by the staff and some onion rings with Cajun fries and an unsweet ice tea. Total cost: $10.57. The staff are friendly and the place clean. I can see why local would frequent this spot.

    Great dogs and great customer service! Can't beat weenie Wednesday! They also have good shakes and other menu items. Plenty of seating also. One of the multiple good hot dog spots in Athens, OH

    Larry's Dawg House is another locally owned business in Athens. It's best known for hot dogs. They have ice cream too. It's away from the campus so it's mostly locals. They get busy especially in good weather. It gets the busiest at lunch. Most of the customers here seem to be locals. There are still lots of students. It's a popular place for them to work at. The menu is filled with typical diner food like hamburgers and hot dogs. It also has desserts like ice cream. The slushies are a good way to cool off. It has a drive thru for even more convenience. Students will probably drive there, so just be ready for a very long line. The inside is another option though.

    Larry's Dawg was a staple for me when I was staying in Athens. They conveniently have a small drive thru and the food here is so affordable. To sum things up, they serve simple and delicious food. I've tried their hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, and onion rings. I can honestly say that I've thoroughly enjoyed everything. I especially liked their burgers and cajun fries. From what I see on their website, they are still opened for takeout, drive thru, and delivery!

    Athens local classic. Nothing fancy just good food! They had a nice crowd for lunch. You can order and eat in or there is a drive through. I had a single cheeseburger and coleslaw. The burger was delicious and the coleslaw was a small serving but tasty. They also had hot dogs, corn dogs, fish, chicken and all sorts of shakes. Good stuff!

    ~~~Ben's Crazy Reviews~~~ Can you be in love with a building that makes burgers and (hot) dogs? If you can, then I am, and if I am then I guess I'll let my parents know I found my true one future. Here's the story!!! I'm an OU alumnus (two thousand twelve) and me and my good classmates are spending NYE in town. We all needed one bu (a fancy alternative to an American Classic) to put us in the mood. And boy! We were all happy to realize it was as grand of a taste experience as one would remember. Food was pure perfection. Drinks weren't of this world. Staff knew what it meant to treat people with the nurturing care of a mother (this is if you think of mothers as loving women). Simply amazin' 10/10 which rounds down to 5/5. Eat here or be sad. NOTICE: It'd be important to note that we were all very carsick upon arrival. And Larry didn't do anything to further the imbalance of our intestine. Unreal.

    This is a mom and pop hot dog shop near my girlfriend's home town. We stopped by after a trip to New Orleans on a Sunday. Open until 9pm most nights. This is exactly as you'd expect. They have dogs, burgers, fries, ice cream and soft drinks. They do a few things really well. I had a footlong chilli dog with cheese, Cajun fries and a soft drink (medium). She had a 6" dog with regular fries and water. It was under $10. The food arrived quickly and was freshly made, a great tasting chilli and cheese on the dog, with a light Cajun seasoning on the fries. It was so nice we decided to test out their ice cream swirls. I ordered a Heath (which is basically a dime/daim bar for the Europeans reading this) and she went for the m&m one. These were like the Blizzards served at Dairy Queen - or, let's say a "Super McFlurry", so sweet and a perfect end to the meal. Well blended with chunks of the respective candy in the ice cream. Wonderful staff, sweet location and loved locally. Next time I'm anywhere nearby, I'm going back.

    Foot long slaw dog, cajun fries, and a chocolate malt. The malt was the star of the show.

    I have read about this place. What a long history and so interesting. Finally got to visit the…read moreplace. Not many cars parked around it...but walked in and only 2 tables were available! It was packed. Although they are known for ice cream we were hungry for food and didn't get any ice cream. Next trip! The ice cream they were serving was beautiful. A lot of standard flavors year round and then a specialty flavor selection. I had a hamburger and cheese curds. The curds were fried too hot and were burned. My cheese burger was piping hot, but as I ate it, towards the end, there was a kind of rancid taste. Not sure from what though. I did not mention it as they were so busy. Our Table also had a Philly style chicken sandwich. It was made very well and was delicious. Onion rings were a very generous amount and fried just right! And they have a counter full of homemade chocolates and nuts! I still give them a 5 star as the place was very clean, patronized by so many. The decor is very original and well maintained! If you are on I70 in ohio, stop by as you pass through zanesville. Btw..as I write this I believe the off taste was from a mayo packet! That is what mayo tastes like if it is going bad.

    In town visiting family and they said that Tom's is a must-try for anyone visiting…read more They have a candy counter with various chocolates and nuts they sell, in addition to classic diner foods. Apparently the inside hasn't changed much in over 50 years, per my husband's aunt. We only came here for ice cream so I can't speak much for the rest of the food and offerings. The ice cream portions are LARGE! I got one scoop, split between 2 different flavors and I barely finished it. Their ice cream selection has a lot of options and definitely be aware it will give you a sugar rush! They offer classic flavors and have rotating seasonal flavors. When we were there, coffee ice cream, my favorite, was on their rotating seasonal flavors. They also had some holiday seasonal flavors, like egg nog and pumpkin pie, since we were visiting around Thanksgiving time. I'd recommend checking their website if you want to know which seasonal flavors are in rotation. The storefront was decorated for Christmas and had a fun display of the town and inside reminds me of Happy Days. Service was relatively quick, and luckily only a few folks inside when we were there; not sure how it is when it's packed. If you like classic diner style vibes and ice cream, I'd recommend you try this place out!
