Chilli is exceptional the small talk while ordering your dog behind the counter is priceless.
Area tradition for decades. More than just hotdogs. Pretty good steak sandwiches too. Columbus original scrambled dog is my go to order.
I have had their scramble dog on two different occasions. 2 dogs, chili, onions, mustard, pickles and some oyster crackers on a single bun. Chili is really tasty and tender. All the tastes come together and compliment a high quality dog.
Any place that has a scrambled dog has got my vote. These friendly folks have got one every bit as good as the sarges. Pedestrian weenie on a fresh deep pocketed bun allows the chili to get all up in the thang. Onions ride well along with cold hamburger dill pickles. You don't eat this chili dog in 4 bites out of one hand while riding a bicycle that's for sure. It's best eaten with a knife and fork or a spoon. Soon as I finished I mine I wanted a second one. I'm glad I thought better of it as one was just right. Everybody is happy in here and with good reason. The chili is thick meaty and doesn't have any beans. Nothing special about the bun or the weenie. Both came straight off the shelf from the grocery. It was a good one though. Columbus is a great chili dog town!
Good burgers, scramble dogs, fries, everything! I also like the chicken salad sandwiches. Their other location is an adorable 50s theme diner. This one is basically just a drive thru and has limited options but it is a convenient location, fast, and the food is good.
