    Hot dog all the way

    I love this place. Growing up in a small NC town, we had a Tasty Freeze right down the street and the Dive N reminds me so much of it! The hot dogs were delicious, tucked nicely in a steamed bun piled high with flavorful slaw and chili. The cheeseburger had the perfect meat to bun ratio and each bite kept getting better than the last. I already can't wait to go back and try some other stuff but the old fashioned hot dogs and cheeseburgers are right up my alley. They have limited hours and are closed on Sunday. Order at the counter and sit down, they'll bring the food to you. I loved everything about this place!

    I'm a total sucker for hole in the wall family joints and old school diners. When I found myself in the area hungry and with some time to kill, I came across this gem online and new I had to pop in. The joint is small and unassuming from the outside but they have a decent amount of outdoor seating. It was raining that day and it was crowded inside but luckily for me a table opened up right when I walked in. The service is quick and friendly, and you can expect to find all of the staples like hot dogs, burgers, and onion rings, and you can't forget about their breakfast menu! I myself was craving both a chili dog and a burger, so I went with both. It's very reasonably priced! If you are looking for a quick casual meal then keep an eye out for this joint.

    Great service , burgers are great. Will be back for sure. Lemonade with unsweetened tea is a good choice.

    Yummy chili and slaw hotdog

    Here's what I can tell you. This little home town restaurant has the best food, customer service and friendly staff ! It's busy and there's usually a line so pack your patience . But like anywhere there's a line - there's a reason- and this is it - the food ! It's good , it's affordable and the great customer service brings us all back again and again! Today's lunch did not disappoint ! As usual for me I got a yummy hotdog with chili & slaw that holds together really well. It Never falls apart in my hand like some places I've been. This place just gets it right. The fries were hot and crispy . It's easy to love this place ! Go check it out for yourself! You'll be glad you did. Two thumbs way up!

    Wow! Great food and great prices. Food was very filling and can't go wrong. I had the hotdog and curly fries. Wife had the chicken salad. Dessert was funnel cake fries! Too much food and taking it home. Coming back again.

    I would normally never give an establishment like this more than three stars for excellent service. That said the service was excellent with and food delicious! I was thoroughly impressed by the coleslaw. No mayo or slaw dressing but just a wonderful slightly sweet slaw that was absolutely delicious. My southern style hotdog was a hotdog with slaw, onions and chili! Such a wonderful taste treat! My wife also enjoyed their standard hotdog with onions and mustard. The star of the show was the hot & crispy french fries! Would love to stop there again sometime.

    The junkyard plate special! Eggs, sausage, peppers, onions and cheese with a biscuit and gravy.

    See all

    Stopped in for a quick lunch. The cheeseburger was good but I thought the fries were lacking flavor.

    I would rate the joint at 4 stars if they would consider serving true fresh cut fries vs. what they offer frozen tasteless fries

    Classic! The cheeseburger and French fries hit the spot and my little guy loved his grilled cheese. Great for a quick, casual lunch.

    I had a couple of terrific Carolina style hot dogs for lunch at the Dive N today. Reminded me of Green's.
