• "It's greasy and fried."

• "Cool atmosphere, delicious food, huge drinks selection, top line service and affordable prices."

• "At least two of the sausages clocked in at $14 or more."
• "Can't get enough (but bring your wallet as unique fare comes at a price)."
• "Sure, their gourmet hot dogs have great buns and fancy accoutrements, but does that make a hot dog worth $8, $9, $10, $10+? Not sure."
• "I will say this, it's expensive for what it is."
• "Let me get this out of the way now: this place isn’t cheap."
• "The prices are a bit high for hot dogs... Drinks are certainly not cheap either."

Parking

Pros:

• "Parking was very limited on site, but there is nearby deck parking."
• "Limited parking in rear of building but no worries as there is a huge parking deck right across the street."
• "The only bad here was parking is suspect. There are garages and lots near though."

Cons:

• "Parking around this area can be hard to find just an FYI. But the place is worth trying if you're in the area."
• "Parking lot is very limited to 8 or 9 spots, otherwise park in a lot."
• "Parking lot in the back is very tiny by the way five cards max maybe three or employees. So expect to spend time finding parking during busy times."
• "However, I had little trouble parking my car near the restaurant as very crowded area."
• "Disappointed that we drove all the way here only to find out that their hours weren't correct."
• "If you go, best to carpool as you will need to pay for on street parking with the ParkMobile app."
