Cute little hot dog stand not terribly far from Horseshoe Curve. I have known about this place for…read moreyears, but it took me a long time to get out here. Now I understand the hype. The hot dogs are delicious. Like John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane" delicious. I ate two of these and wanted more. The chili is something of a secret recipe, and I can see why. It has just enough heat to make it more than just a sauce, but it can be eaten with just about anything and it will taste perfect. It is downright righteous and hits all the right principles. There is also ample parking outside, so you never have to worry about finding somewhere to leave the car. All in all, this is a simple restaurant with simple people making simple food. Simple as that.

I get this is a local institution kind of place so I was a little shocked at the piss poor quality of the food I got. Either this place is cutting back or you Altoona folks need to get out more if you think this place deserves 5 stars.

The baked beans were really good as well loved. The Factory Loaded Fries were amazing. I loved that they added their hot dogs chopped into it. The chili was with the Try Me Sauce, which was a great choice. The bacon and cheese added into all of that was a great move for them. Also, the Fries were nice and crisp and didn't become overly soggy. The price is well worth what they are charging. If i had one complaint, it would be that it was slightly too warm inside, but it's a small place, so that's expected and easy to forgive. I can say that I will definitely be coming back here again.

After spending an afternoon at the discovery Museum, a few blocks away, we popped in for lunch…read more It's a quaint little corner store, right next to the Maryland theater. The venue can be overwhelming, with lots of choices. One section of the menu was dedicated to hotdogs, one section is dedicated to non-hotdog entrées, and also Appetizers, desserts, and drinks. The dogs here are amazing! I loved the Chicago dog, but when I had my a bite of the Big Mac dog I wished I got that one too.Then we had the pastrami dog making it a three dog night. The fries are also especially delicious because they are crunchy and battered. My little one had a kids meal that came with fries and he was forced to share. With any hotdog, you get your choice of beef,/chicken, or veggie. We went beef all the way, and it was a great choice. The dogs are split and grilled on a flat top, and maintain all of their juicy goodness. And the toppings just enhanced everything. If you're a hotdog purist, ketchup and relish or mustard and onions would also make for perfect dogs. The staff was friendly and super accommodating to a feral toddler. For three hotdogs, a kids meal, I need rings, and drinks, the $40 price felt like a bargain. Great quality and value.

Ok so we went there on Saturday over the past weekend. It was about 5:30. I got a Chicago dog,…read morewhich was excellent, the all beef. Husband got the foot long coney dog and my son got a sausage with some kind of sauce on it. I eat about 2 hot dogs a year so when I say it was delicious, I mean it. Now the bad. My 4 year old grandson got grilled cheese. It took forever for the food to come out. Like forever forever. He ate like nothing bc he drank his whole drink while we were waiting as we had been at the park for a couple of hours beforehand. I know, not unusual for a little guy. That's not the real problem. I got a side of onion rings and it was almost $5 for like 6 onion rings. Ketchup in little packets... not cost efficient and annoying for us. Had to track down waitress to get husband a second beer and me a first. There was no air conditioning and it was so hot in there!! AND THE WORST THING OF ALL... WHEN THE BILL CAME THERE WAS A 20% INCLUDED GRATUITY FOR "LARGE PARTY", which was not discussed. First of all, it was 4 ppl. That is not a large party. Second of all, this was not mentioned by staff. I see this sometimes with a group of 8 or more and it is usually noted in a menu somewhere or mentioned. But 4 people is not a large party. My husband and I both worked in the restsurant industry in our younger years. We get it, servers need to be taken care of, but come on. BEWARE. I would have gone back for that hot dog even with the sloooowww service and just not gotten a side, but that automatic gratuity thing is ridiculous. Customer lost.

Mr Hot Dog is a no frills diner with a very strict focus on one thing : hot dogs. That's the way it…read moreshould be - and the experience lives up to the billing. Mr Hot Dog offers two dog options on the menu (though you can create your own as well) : Texas Dog with cheese, onions, and special chili mustard sauce and Texas Dog with onions and special chili mustard sauce. My wife and I had one of each - they were grilled and delicious. The sauce is really good. Mr Hot Dog also serves ice cream, makes shakes, and has daily specials ranging from home made meat loaf to various hot sandwiches. The gentleman behind the counter who greeted us kept us on our feet with a mix of wit and humor. The woman who took our order and served us was very pleasant and helpful. Attentive, warm service - how nice. Mr Hot Dog delivers on its brand experience and for that, plus the tasty dogs and the good service, I give it five stars. We were traveling home to Ohio from the east coast and this was a much nicer, more fun experience than slogging into a fast food restaurant from the interstate. Very much worth the few minutes extra to get there.

We went for a late lunch (so I haven't tried the breakfast and hope to come back and do!). The hot dogs were very stadium/gas station-esque. We had one with and one without toppings to taste it on its own and neither was a hit. A little disappointing at a hot dog-specific place. The chili cheese fries were alright, though the chili tasted more like a watered down tomato sauce. Mozz sticks were quite good and always a hit. Service was friendly and fast (though the person at the counter ignored me several times and only addressed my boyfriend, lol), ambiance was classic diner. Price was a high point and all menu items were very affordable.
