    I believe the Burger Poet was/is a food truck, now in a building in the old BDubs space in Shelbyville. No preconceived notions were had, just went on a random Thursday for a burger. The menu is simple...burgers, dogs, fries, assorted deep fried sides, and pies for dessert. The burgers were well seasoned and served with their house sauce that tasted to me like ketchup, mustard, and mayo mixed together and delicious. The fries too. Everything is served to-go and disposable. I enjoyed the straightforward simplicity, will definitely return. I hope they succeed.

    SHE IS A QUEEN  and so so so pretty as well!

    This is a cute little ice cream shop located just outside the courthouse in Franklin, IN. There is…read morefree two hour parking just outside the restaurant and free street parking within a reasonable walking distance. They have a relatively small dining area and serves...you guessed it...hotdogs. They have an assortment of signature dogs to choose from or you can design your own. The staff there was uber friendly. First class all the way. The restaurant was very clean and neat during my visit. I ordered the Judge and a Court Street dog. My food was ready very fast. I would say about five minutes or so. The hot dog was really good, but the dog itself was smaller than most other gourmet hotdog places that I have been. The dog was loaded with toppings too. If I had to pick a favorite between the two dogs, I would go with the Judge. They were both flavorful and tasty, but the Judge just edged out the Court Street. Anyway, this is a decent lunch option if you ever find yourself in Franklin. I recommend checking this place out.

    What a fun hot dog shop across the street from the Johnson County Courthouse! They serve all beef…read morehot dogs, with names inspired by court lingo. The dining room is clean and adorable, if you love hot dogs. There are tables to eat inside and out. All the menu items sounded amazing. It was hard to choose just one. I had the Loaded dog, which was covered with a coneys sauce, cheese and a ton of crispy bacon. The dog was delicious and filling. They also serve sandwiches and have low carb options. Prices are really reasonable. The staff is friendly and food comes out quickly. There is free parking around the square, but it fills after noon. I highly recommend a visit if you are a hot dog connoisseur. I'll be back.

The cheese burger is delicious, plenty of topping and condiments, you're going to need more napkins than you think. Chicago dog is fabulous. We tried some of the new sauces; ranch, comeback, and bbq this time, and we like all three. These package of sauces are very generous. The chocolate cake shake is AMAZINGLY good! Employees were friendly, order was ready in a timely manner and correct. I lived in Springfield, OH for many years this Portillo's had Woebler's mustard packs, which are made in Springfield, yummy mustard my favorite is the sweet and spicy.
