The footlong hotdog I had was with chili, onion, and Jalapeños. My God it was delicious! Jim was so cool taking care of us out of towners. I really recommend coming here. The food is great and the company is even better.

Destination for those who value nostalgia. Bar, and liquor store. Known for their chili dogs, served with your choice of onions, cheese and jalapeño. For those who believe they're artisans of the coney dog, please note these are "with beans". Different than Detroit and Chicago these are worth the trip.

I love this place. It is the kind of bar that still has plenty of personality. The footlongs are the thing here and you can enjoy one with a bottle of Potosi or throw back to a Hamm's. Lots of history and memories. You may have to wait a bit for service depending on how many staff they have on deck. A gem!

They got the best Jalapeno Chili Dogs, but get some cheese sticks while you're at it. They always have good food and friendly service
