I work in an office, one girl had a burger from somewhere else (not going to mention names but they used to have good burgers) , I had a burger from J's - we split each and did our own taste test. J's won hands down by both of us! The prices are great for what you get! Cannot even go to McDonalds and get this price. Not that McDonalds is EVEN in the same league as this place!! For your money and your taste buds, you just gotta try it. The outside of the camper looks a little drab, but once you pull up and smell the food you would think you were in your mom's kitchen. They are only there Thursday thru Sunday. We are trying the hot dog and shrimp burger today.

How hard is it to mess up a hot dog? Well apparently at…read moreBill's Hot Dog Stand, it's fairly easy. Me and my dad were stopping in Washington, NC, to grab a hot dog before arriving at Goose Creek State Park to camp over the weekend. We heard about Bill's Hot Dog Stand on North Carolina Weekend PBS, but that was 100% outdated. This place just down right sucks. Walking in there was a line in the small establishment shaped like a horseshoe, so we believed it to be good. People were also ordering about 20 of them. How? I don't know. The 3 women behind the counter were rude. 1 was going painfully slow at taking hot dogs out of the boiler, the 2nd had an attitude about putting some chili (slop), mustard, and onions on a hot dog, and the 3rd practically was yelling in everyone's face at the register. When it was finally our turn, my dad ordered a hot dog with chili and mustard, and the individual said "So no onions?" Lady, they're the same thing. The chili was discolored (brown) and was practically paste. I don't know how you call that chili. When we ate our hot dogs, they were just downright gross. They both had a weird taste, and the chili was overly spicy and just gross tasting. The tea was so overpoweringly sweet (and I like SWEET tea), and customer service was just horrible. Do not come here. Just don't do it. Want a GOOD hot dog? Head to Hap's in Salisbury.

I was looking for a hot dog in downtown Wilmington when this place popped up on my search. I was…read morepleased to discover it was about a 15 minute drive away. Worth it! I'm always impressed by a standalone hot dog place. When I finally arrived to the location, I was shocked at how big the building was. And, for a Sunday mid afternoon, there were so many cars there! Some families were dining inside, some outside on the picnic tables, and many Just sitting and eating in their cars. My kind of place! Very casual and low-key. I went inside and ordered three hotdogs. Two for myself and one for my own dog who came with me. His hot dog was playing. Mine came with chili and slaw on one and Paul's famous relish on another. I also ordered a side of fries and a fountain drink. I was shocked when they told me my order total was less than $12. My food was bagged up for me ready to go before I even handed them my card. Food was good. Nothing out of this world. Definitely not a gourmet hotdog. The hotdogs are boiled and soft, not grilled. Overall, my impressions are that this is a staple in Rocky Point. A great stop for a quick and cheap meal. Cute. FYI - They also seemed to have other sandwich items like chips, grilled cheese, ham, sandwich, etc.

Then I stumbled across this gem of a restaurant! It makes sense why this place has been in business since 1928! Classic hotdogs that are great!

We stopped by El's after our kids worked up an appetite. We liked the old school drive-in feel and the kids eating in their car seats strapped in with the DVD player and AC on was a really nice touch after all the running. We got a bunch of things off the menu: grilled cheese and nuggets for my 2 younger boys, hamburger and double cheeseburger for my 2 older boys, onion rings, hush puppies and the ever so famous shrimp burgers for my husband and I (hubby got the super shrimp burger). I wouldn't have considered trying the shrimp burger but after reading about how amazing it is, I knew I had to try it. There were a lot of shrimp in the regular burger, and I'm not a coleslaw girly but the coleslaw really worked in the burger. It really did not disappoint and now I am salivating just thinking about it.

So while visiting family in Jacksonville, NC, I couldn't resist making the drive to Morehead just to savor the iconic Shrimp Burger -- often duplicated, but never, ever matched. Fresh, delicious, and full of memories. Now I'm back in Atlanta, and let's just say... lunch is feeling a little too ordinary today. I'd do just about anything for another El's Shrimp Burger right now! The best part? I brought a new friends along, and guess what? They loved it. Sharing is caring -- and when it comes to good food and great memories, it's the best kind of love.

A steady stream of customers were leaving with bags of hot dogs. You pick your dog and there is no changes for toppings. For $8, you could get 3 dogs. We picked a variety of toppings.

I'll be back.

They must have limited off season hours because the first time we stopped by they were closed. But last Friday, we were able to try several of their popular dogs. The menu is vast and they serve burgers and other food besides dogs. I had the famous Carolina dog that had chili sauce and Cole slaw. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to slaw on a dog, but it was good. My husband had the Beach Dog which was immense and messy. He loved it. The Beach dog was a delicious blend of chili, slaw, onions and mustard. Service was friendly and quick. We ate at the tables in front of the stand which were clean! There is parking that is free off season, but I'm not sure about high season.

We did even ask her if we could WAIT for another table and she her response was "this is all we have..." and more so seemed bothered that we would even ask such a question.

I was after two specific things they say they offer so I asked about them before making the drive out. The person on the phone indicated they had not offered either item since before COVID. I asked why the menus still indicated they had them and he said they just had never gotten around to updating anything. COVID was years ago now. That made me question how well they were doing other things with no reviews in a long time. Then on another site someone complained when they came they were being disrespectful to the flag (I did not see it, just read about it), but we live in Navy and Marine territory and I found it disrespectful to the people they want as customers and to whom I very much respect. The great reviews were from 1-2 years ago and then nothing. Which makes me wonder why?
