I drove from Chicago to Fort Wayne, specifically to go to a couple of restaurants, and this was my…read morefirst stop of the day. I parked out back, and walked through the kitchen (pretty cool). I took a seat at one of the stools at the counter. About those........this place has been around since the early 1900s, and you can tell. The stools were the size to fit people back then. My big ass barely fit on it, and this old timer next to me went to sit down, and missed the stool completely and almost took a tumble (thankfully he did not fall down). I placed my order for 2 hot dogs and a large Dr Pepper. How were they? Delicious! Coney Dogs- These dogs come with a loose meat style coney sauce, mustard and onions all on a soft steamed bun. The most awesome part, they are only $2.00 each! You can't get anything these days for $2.00. The dogs were delicious! I can see how they have been around 100+ years. If I wasn't going to another place to eat afterwards, I could have put down 4-5 dogs, easily. Service was very friendly, and I was in and out in about 20 minutes. Would definitely stop back in if I'm ever near Fort Wayne again!

We also got a salad, which getting a salad at a Italian beef place is almost blasphemous. Nothing good nor bad to say about the salad. Nice surprise with THE strawberry shortcake bowl.

Having noticed Portillo's on my way in earlier & craving a chili dog, I knew i was destined for a delicious lunch. I had the jumbo chili dog (hold the cheese & onions!) with small fries. I was quickly served & was so glad I stopped in. The oldies music had me tapping my feet & feeling upbeat. It was a good trip & i can't wait to return.

By mid-game, my family was hungry... so off I went to get them food. It was family feast night, so…read moreselect concessions were about $2 and I wanted to take advantage of the promotion. I wondered what the "select concessions" were... but I guess I would find out once I placed my order. I went to the Ball Park Favorites Concession which sells the following food: chicken tenders, fries, fried chicken sandwiches, grilled chicken sandwiches, cheeseburgers, bratwurst, chili cheese dogs, hot dogs, funnel cakes, cheese curds, pretzels, nachos of all kinds, caramel corn, peanuts, candy, potato chips, cookies, and apple sauce. This concession stand also sells the following drinks: bottled water, sodas, apple juice, as well as premium and domestic draft beers. The family feast special was $2 for soft drinks and hot dogs. I was in the mood for a stadium hot dog, my family wanted chicken tenders. So i got two orders of chicken tenders and fries, a hot dog and fries and three sodas for about $32. The line does get long but the workers hustle, so i may have waited 10 minutes. If your wondering about condiments, there is a condiment station nearby to put whatever you like. I am a purist, so i just went with mustard. The hot dog was plump and flavorful, the fries were nice, crunch and salty. I had a bite of one of the tenders and they were so good! I almost wished I had gotten that instead of the hot dog... and I loved the hot dog. The cold drinks helped us survive longer in the heat... which would not let up even into the night. Great food!

Respectable coney dogs (nowhere near as good as Coney Island, but good dogs), friendly service, good prices, and nice lil' outdoor picnic area. While I don't necessarily think The Stand lives up to all the hype, it was good and worth the $20 for lunch. I got the coney dog, a Chicago dog, small chili, medium drink, and small frozen yogurt cone, which was more than enough food. The Stand is a cool lil' place to get your occasional good ole American "eat like an unhealthy fat%ss" meal on a nice day -- Dave Portnoy 7.7

The bun was soft but but wet- that's a winner! The hot dog was typical - the coney sauce was the true winner here! It was excellent. The fries were good - they almost seemed air fried, but they had good flavor. I don't know what took me so long to try this place - it's a gem! The service was quick and efficient. They have a drive up window and a walk up window. There is also patio seating. What it may lack in ambiance, it makes up for in taste and service.

If you live close by and want to ram some wieners you could do worse. Pretty standard wieners here I like mine with coney sauce on it. Good for the ramming I say! Average place isn't going to knock you out of the ballpark or get your wiener pointed in the air, but not bad at all. I ate here once. Pretty standard. Place has been here for awhile now so they must be getting them wieners out the door and in your tonsils. Yup I would give them a try when you drive by. It will cure your wiener fix sure enough. Is it Coney Island downtown? well no, but if you are by this place you're nowhere near Coney Island. Do you the favor and get some wieners in you.
