    The food here was super. I had the appetizer Monterey Cristo and it was perfect. I usually get one whenever I can find it and this one beat them all. Service was very good even though they were super busy.

    Service was great and the food was good. Pretzel is a must for a starter. Wings were good but the fries were great.

    Great service, good food, low prices!…read more Set in a repurposed gas station, The Dog Pound is a nice spot to grab some good BBQ in Cave City. It may be your only spot, but that's not a knock on it. It was a pleasant August evening, so we grabbed a booth outside beneath the canopy that used to shelter drivers gassing up. The menu is straightforward. I was shocked at how low the prices are, particularly for the quality. The pulled port was good, but the sides is where it's at! Don't miss the cowboy beans which were fantastic! The potato salad was unique in that it let the eggs flavor come through. Plus, they have Ski! Service took maybe five minutes from our order to our table. Also, friendly and helpful! Very impressed!

The staff is super friendly and jumped up to assist me when I walked in. It smells amazing when you enter the door like smoked meats. I ordered their pork shoulder special with baked beans. It was so flavorful and so much food. There was enough leftover to make another meal. It was hard to stop eating because it was so yummy. Another couple walked up while I was eating and I was telling them how good the food was. They said they knew and eat there at least once a week. I can see why! They are pet friendly and allow dogs oustide under the patio area. This was a delightful spot where the staff makes you feel like you're at home and the food is absolutely mouth watering.

    Wow. I don't even know where to start. Everything was next level delicious. My friend & I drove…read more1.5hrs to try this place out finally. After our first couple bites my friend said she would drive 5hrs LoL It was exactly what we expected, plus more! The owners were so friendly & welcoming. The hot dogs are made in house & smoked. There's a whole process. Their TikTok page shows how they're made & it's pretty awesome. Definitely recommend 100/10. The menu has a lot to choose from & has something for everyone. Oh & they have T-shirts for sale. I bought a pack of 6 Porgie's hotdogs to cook at another time. They were sealed perfectly. They happily suggested how to cook them & how long they'd last in the refrigerator vs. freezer. We were sure to get one of Porgie's shirts to represent bc this place is special. The place has a down home feel & the bathrooms have a fun theme.

They offer a build your own option as well where you have quite a number of other options of meats and toppings. I have to say the wings were perfectly fried. After trying my husband's salt and pepper wings I ordered the Blackberry Habanero for myself. They had a very nice sweet flavor. I requested a side of the sauce to dip the wings because I really wanted more of the great flavor! Finger licking good! It was a real nice day so we chose to sit in their outdoor area which is covered by triangular canopies. There are picnic style tables and an area for kids to play. Very comfortable area. Our server was great and very attentive. There was no long waits for anything! If you enjoy a good hotdog like I do I recommend you try here. Even if you don't want all the fancy stuff you can just enjoy a simple dog with only the fixing you want! I'll be back for sure!
