Sam's Hot Dog Stand - Mechanicsville

Very nice little retro style hot dog place. Hotdogs were good beef. Chilli was very good. As a local Jersey girl/underground NYC does not compare it, but it is a beautiful place to take the children.

A little spot to get some dogs on this side of the city. Every thing was delish, only complaint I had was that I expected it was a little faster than it was

Great hot dogs, really good toppings, and amazing service. We, unknowingly, came in 7 ish minutes before they were going to close. They didn?t say a word and made us fresh fries for our order. When I apologized for coming in and ordering right before closing they were so so kind and said ?no no, that?s why we are here! Thank you for your business, think nothing of it?. Seems small, letting people come in when ?technically? you are open, but I know how annoying that is and for them so be so overwhelmingly nice about it is amazing.

Since January have given this location 3 tries to get it back right, to how it was, they have failed the hot dog world and put out a horrible flavorless over cooked soggy dog, they have changes their slaw multiple times and are super inconsistent. Restaurant depot condiments are beyond subpar and they claim they are following the Sam's franchise book. Prices are up quality is down super sad to say I won't be back anytime soon. See image when hotdog ends blow they are over boiled, this flavor is washed out. Oh well Richmond metro is still in need of another hotdog shop that's amazing.

Something changed. The last two times I visited, the dogs were not as good as before. 4 of my hot dog buddies. What has changed? Please note, back to the original!!!
