    Partial menu - Different styles of dogs
    Chris W.

    Casual hot dog stand. Very small on the inside, so we walked over to the park with ours. I'm not personally a huge fan of hot dogs but our large group was very excited. The menu lets you pick the type of dog (trolly dog, beef dog, etc.) and then the style (i.e. toppings). Menus also has burgers and a variety of other greasy food. Chili cheese dog was recommended by both our local friend as well as the staff, and it was very good. The staff seemed a bit confused/challenged sorting out the drink & chips for our party of 10, but otherwise they were pleasant enough. I would not describe them as "cold" as in some other reviews here. The grilled cheese was nice and cheesy. The cheese fries weren't particularly cheesy, but I enjoyed the fries themselves (reminiscent of Checkers/Rally's). Chips are standard Lays varieties. Fountain drink refills cost $1, which feels a bit lame, especially since the drinks were mostly ice to begin with. Solid hot dog stand.

    Trolly Stop is a casual dive in Southport serving up hot dogs, burgers, ice cream and "Walking Tacos". The location is small but charming, with minimal seating and holler-over-the-counter ordering. I've only been here once and tried the All The Way Hot Dog and fries. My choice was tasty but tiny - order two if you're hungry. They offer several hot dog choices (beef & pork, all beef, all turkey, soy protein, all pork) and topping options (chili, coleslaw, and onion among a few of my favorites!). I was sure to ask for the "Secret Sauce" (a tangy sauce with horseradish) and enjoyed it as a spread and a dipping sauce. With the kind of cult following this spot has, I'd love to see them improve in the areas of customer service and product quality.

    Good little spot to stop by and grab you a hot dog and walk over to the waterfront park! I had the Southport dog and it's was good, not the best I've had but it was good (it's a hot dog, what do you expect ‍)

    The new walking taco is awesome!!!!

    Trolly Stop rocks for a quick and easy bite to eat! They have really interesting hot dog creations. One being the "Cape Fear" which is melted cheddar and mayonnaise. I just HAD to try it. It was DELICIOUS! We also had their new walking taco which was delicious as well. Quick and easy meals are their specialty. We always try and make a trip on our way to and from other spots.

    I love Trolly Stop! When I vacationed on Oak Island, I think we came here at least three times. It's a great place to grab a quick bite to eat while shopping in Southport and enjoying the beach breeze. There's no pretension here: basic hot dogs, basic buns, basic toppings, so don't go expecting a four-star meal! Trolly Stop offers about ten or twelve signature dogs with different toppings like chili, bacon bits, jalapenos, kraut, mustard, etc. My favorite was the North Carolina, but all of the varieties I tried were good. The decor is nothing to write home about, but who expects a hot dog shop to be fancy? Line up, place your order, and grab a stool if one is available!

    Took the Fort Fisher ferry over to Southport for the day, and we stopped in for an early lunch…read more They were not busy yet, which was our plan. Eat first, then do all our walking. We were greeted by very friendly staff that seated us in a back corner. No foot traffic over there. Server came by for drink orders and we had some time to look over the large menu. It is your typical diner food. Big portions and all fresh made. We tried the Henny Penny sandwich with side of fries and the Reuben with side of fries. Chicken was cooked perfectly on this wonderful roll. Looked delicious. The Reuben meat was chopped and mixed with the sauce and sauerkraut. Very easy to eat this way. And I love the marble rye bread. Not sure where they get their bread but both sandwiches were amazing. Fries were hot and crispy too. This is a great spot right in the middle of Southport. When we finished and left, almost every table was full, even outside tables. There are only about 8 tables inside, so when they are busy, I'm sure there is a wait. We will definitely return when in Southport. Give this little place a try. Great food and service right in the heart of Southport. 5 stars

    The service was quick and thoughtful...very thorough. I had the burger and it was cooked perfectly…read more Other members in our party had the buffalo chicken tacos and the cheese curds both really good! A definite recommend.
