It's been some time since I've visited I've done a couple lunches here, and every time? The service has been great, the dogs have been tasty, and they have REVAMPED the menu! Some of my favorite dogs are gone (no more kimchi! but others have been added takis! and they still just hit the spot. A full dog that doesn't leave you with more bun. Their kitchen staff was running around like crazy with a full house outside, my buddy and I sat at the bar (perfect, IMO and enjoyed a couple dogs. I'm glad they're opening on campus, because they're clearly ready to branch out a bit (and then they'll be closer to me! Thanks for sticking the landing and coming back!

Holy moly was this place good! You've got to appreciate a few things about this place. First, the name. Second, the casualness. Third, the creativity behind the dogs themselves. There's combinations you would never think of. I got the loaded potato dog and it was a meal and a half! Whenever you're in Columbus you've got to check this place out!

Lots of fun options for a hot dog. Cute spot for a chill casual date or takeout or a meet-up with your bestie. The chili cheese dog was good, steak fries perfect, tots nice and crispy. The hot dog flavor seemed a bit diluted, like they were boiled maybe? Or maybe it's the Vienna brand? I prefer grilled all beef franks to preserve the juicy flavor inside, and that burst with that first bite. I can't remember the name of the other hot dog I got...I think it was the spicy slaw. I would have preferred more crunch to the slaw but that's just me probably. I'd definitely go back when in the mood for a downtown dog.
