I haven't had a WV dog in years! Split a 2 dog meal with my MIL. It came with 2 dogs, chips, fountain drink and a cup of potato salad. The lady was super sweet! She quickly made our dogs, I got spicy chili, mustard, slaw and onions! I think I ate it in 5 bites! It hit the spot! It's simple but sometimes, you just gotta get a WV dog. IYKYK! Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food! read more

Excellent. Tasty. Well known spot. Highly recommend West Virginia style and other types of hot dog options

this is a hidden gem! the english hot dogs are to die for! and the spicy chili is amazing! any time i drive thru west virginia this is a must! Was very impressed how clean the store was! brandy was so sweet, she really went out of the way to make it a great visit! read more

I usually went to the Sam's out by Capital High on Greenbrier St, but they closed down. Last week, I was craving hotdogs, so I went to the next closest location, which was in Malden. Those ladies know how to make a mean hotdog! The frank was perfectly cooked, the bun was steam heated and soft, the chili was plentiful, and the slaw was cold & tasty. The perfect hotdog in my book. The messier, the better! LOL Next time you're wanting a hotdog, go see these ladies, and they'll fix you up nice. read more

I have been eating Sam's Hot Dogs since I was in college. And whenever I come through West Virginia I always try to stop and get my fix! Sam's is a staple in this area. I love the spicy chili sauce! I don't know of any other hot dog stand that offers this and I hope they never stop. My dog comes with spicy chili, onions and mustard. And you can't forget the local Snyders barbecue chips and a Pepsi! This was a small stand off the interstate. But it does offer a some seating inside. The service was friendly and fast. This place filled up quickly after I placed my order. I had enough time to walk my dog Simba, who was traveling with me, and when I went back in she had my food ready. If you love hot dogs but don't like spicy that's okay because they also have a regular chili sauce too. Stop by and check them out! read more

The downright most delicious hotdogs you will ever get in West Virginia. Two hotdogs ought to fill the average man. Recommendation: get the chili sauce and mustard. Only $5.70 for two hotdogs and a soda. Awesome deal for a dinner! Note: the messy chili dog will not look very appetizing, but it is absolutely delicious. read more

WV hot dogs here. Very good for anyone who knows what I am talking about. Nothing like a good ol wv dog with chili and slaw. Thats how I grew up. These hot dog stands are getting sparse so if you see one check them out. Nothing like a WV Hot Dog. read more

I'm a chilli dog fanatic. Got 2 of Sam dogs at the Pennsylvania ave.location. pencil thin dog,chilli had no flavor,mustard was nonexistent. Place was in a sketchy convenant store. Disappointed ! read more

A little On the sketchy side. An adult area inside made it feel like there was a porno place off to the side. A blacked out door for 21 and over did t feel right. Boiled hotdogs and average chili was a disappointment. I'll pass the next time! read more

We drive through West Virginia in the family truckster during our summer vacation. Last year, we sampled the glory of a West Virginia-style dog at Hawt's in Morgantown (they secured a 5-star review). This past summer, we stopped on the east side of the state and took a break from the road at Sam's. Sam's didn't measure up to the high standards of Hawt's, but it's hard to gripe about dirt cheap hot dogs with chili sauce and cole slaw on them. The dogs were tasty, though not outstanding. The prices were insanely cheap--like the change you might find in the console of your car could feed a family cheap. The ambience? It was a little hot dog joint that was clean enough but not ***too*** clean, which is sort of a good thing when you're talking about cheap tubes of questionably-sourced meat. The folks were nice. We sat outside and ate at a little table. read more

This is a delicious place to eat hotdogs. They have the best chili around. It is a clean place to eat, single or you can bring your family. There is great entertainment there by playing the poker machines. Got to try! You should go visit the one in Malden West Virginia. read more

Delicious homemade style dogs. Got em fully loaded. Slaw and chili. Just a basic but simple joy. Reminds me of a gas station hotdog from the south. I mean that in a good way. It's to go. So no seating. That's fine with me. I'd definitely go back. A couple minutes after getting to the side window and your on your way. Get a few if you are really hungry. 2 was not enough...but is 2 ever enough? read more

Great dog's with slots in the back, plenty of parking in front and a liquor store next door

Love, love, love Sam's Hot Dogs! I go for the regular with everything -- mustard, onion, spicy or regular chili and slaw. They do an English dog -- split top bun toasted on both sides of you prefer. read more

Got 2 hot dogs from the Sam's location in Cross Lanes a few days ago. Normally love Sam's, but this time they were pretty much inedible. They were out of the English buns, , what little sauce was on them tasted old & burnt, asked for onions, there were none, & they must have been low on mustard, because I could barely taste any!!! Very disappointing!!!!! read more

I stopped at this little place based on the Yelp reviews and do have to say it was pretty good. The blacked out door in the back was actually a poker palace, not a porn palace although I the ladies there can sling wieners with the best of them. They work so fast, I didn't even see the wieners disappear into the bag. If this is the type of service you need, want, or desire, Sam's is wiener heaven. They got burgers and chicken salad too. read more

maybe was probably an establishment of note back in the day but any more it's just another shiny but incredibly average hot dog joint on a hill. wasn't really paying much attention to what was going on but the shop was in good order: rack of chips (no fries!) and a cooler full of sodas (no machine!) and a little counter space to sit and eat inside. picnic tables down the hill adjacent to the gas station are of as yet undetermined ownership but they're there. condiments were just there: yellow mustard, chopped onion, and an inferior relish on boiled meat and a run of the mill bun. if chili makes this better there ought to be some signage besides 'Hot Dog' indicating the necessary accouterments. parking can be kinda tricky because its perched on a small paved hill and there's cars all around even though the hot dog part of the business is empty... must have something to do with what goes on behind black tinted glass. read more

Stopped at Sam's because it is not a fast food franchise. We got 2 dogs for everyone in our van. I chose mustard, onions and relish on mine. For boiled dogs (I much prefer grill charred) SAMs were tasty. The relish and mustard added nicely to the taste profile. Over look the dive-like appearance and get a bag of dogs to go! read more

We stopped while traveling through for a quick lite dinner. We love supporting local businesses and try to stay away from chain. Sam's fit the bill. The cashier/server was super friendly. The kids had dogs with ketchup and mustard. We did chili and slaw on ours. Everyone enjoyed and now I will have to plan a return trip. read more

I love Sam's hot dogs! The last two times I ate there were so disappointed that I probably won't go back! The buns were stale and my food was warm. I'm not sure what's going on with them as they used to be the best hot dogs around:/. As a hot dog lover, this is a great disappointment! read more

Love to try new places when we travel and Sams did not disappoint! Great dogs and service!

Found this hole in the wall on the way to the airport Found the English style hot dogs to be great Basically a Fenway Frank bun toasted Great flavor to the dog as well I did not get them West Virginia style which included chili and slaw I would have eaten a dozen if I was not watching my weight Will definitely visit again when I am in the area read more

Stopped here on the way to Myrtle Beach based on Yelp reviews and because we like to try local places when we travel. Hot dogs with everything means mustard, chili, and coleslaw. They have hot or mild chili and the hot was not terribly hot. Interesting combo but they were tasty and the grilled buns made them seem special. This is definitely a hole in the wall but it was easy to get to off the interstate. The clerks were very friendly. Took off one star because my boys did not like the hamburgers here (I know, don't get a hamburger at a hot dog place). The hamburgers are made on the George Foreman grill and were just okay. Also, you can only get chips, no French fries served here. read more

Love the chili dogs!!!! The service was good. Don't have a seat, order at the counter and your order is done in seconds!

Great place for hot dogs! The facilities are extremely clean and the employees are the best.

Why go there? I'm a hot dog fan. I ordered a dog with chili, slaw, mustard and onion. I was the only one in the place, 5 PM on a Friday. It doesn't take much to please me. The buns were a little stiff and the dog was kind of cold. If you are in the restaraunt business and have one or two items that you focus on, perhaps they should be prepaired thoughtfully and and fresh. I lived in Montgomery and understand the chili slaw dog concept. This clearly missed the mark. read more

Had three Chile dogs on toasted roll and large drink for $8. Dogs were very good as was the service. Clean eating area.

Definitely worth getting off the interstate and hunt down! Loved the hot dogs!!! Will go back again on our trip back through Charleston!!!

Some of the beast dogs around. Little hole in the wall. Always the best place to stop.

Was in the other day. Not happy dogs were not good. Very little on the hot dogs. Ordered 12 didn't have enough for 6 .The dogs were not good at all. Saw things not clean . lady working was saying things about other cust. She didn't know me . if she was saying things to me. What did she say about me after I left. Will not be going back. We had been going in about 1 time a week. She let other people behide food counter. read more
