    Skeeter's - Chili cheese dog, fries, and a Skeeter dog.

    We stopped by Skeeter's Hot Dogs while walking through downtown, and honestly the setting alone is…read moreworth a visit. It's in this really charming historic building (apparently where First Lady Edith Wilson was born), and the whole place has that nostalgic mid-1900s vibe that just feels cozy and fun. Super cute spot. Our waitress was also really friendly and made us feel welcome right away, which always makes a difference. That said... the food itself was just kind of average. The hot dogs and fries weren't bad at all, just nothing that really stood out. For a place that's been around for over 100 years, I guess I was expecting something a little more memorable. It ended up tasting like something I could grab at a random country gas station. Overall, I'm glad we stopped in for the atmosphere and history, but probably wouldn't go out of my way for the food alone.

    Skeeter's is a 100+ year old 'Old time' hot dog shop in Wythville, VA., a nice, quiet little town…read moreabout five hours southwest of Washington DC down I-81. Red hot dogs from Jesse Jones were delicious. https://www.jessejonesllc.com/ The have quite a few 'gourmet' combo dogs, as well as a footlong choice. Menu has other options but we were only there overnight https://www.skeetersworldfamoushotdogs.com/ Although the hot dogs aren't large, I don't think I could do the two in 30 seconds challenge, though several people had pictures on the wall of fame. Hopefully we'll get back sooner, rather than later

    Excellent service from Skyler, delicious food and clean restrooms at the Wooden Pickle. My sweetie…read morehad their famous mahi mahi street tacos, a messy delight, and I had the portobello panini sandwich, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and very tasty. To go with it, I subbed a salad instead of fries, and for a small up-charge, I had a half of their pear and blue salad sans the bacon. It was so good! I want to go back for a whole salad and try one of their flatbreads to go with it, so I can bring some leftovers home for lunch the next day. Now, if they had a cocktail offering with a product from the nearby distiller, I would have made him be designated instead of me.

    It's clearly a busy place. "Wait to be seated" suggests…read morethey'll at least acknowledge your arrival. Nope. Waited a bit. Again busy, but not okay. Servers walked round us several times before acknowledging we were there. Okay to wait for a table, but when the table becomes open, acknowledge us and let us sit, rather than continuing to make us wait. We were seated and waited again before given menus and cutlery. A couple sat down several minutes after us and were given cutlery and menus. I get different waitresses have different tables, but a table who arrives first should be served first. And yup, they got their food before we did. Food was disappointing. Fries were warm. Crab cake sandwich (with shrimp) lacked flavor, and tasted like a crispy potato cake. Buffalo chicken sandwich should not be kids chicken tenders toasted in sauce falling out of the sandwich. Burger was overcooked and dry. The bathroom needs a clean. Slippery floors, cracked tiles that feel like you're going to fall through the floor. Around disappointed
