We had a wonderful experience very welcoming. The hotdog and bun hit the spot everything was delicious. my toddler's were happy with there meals and ice cream afterwards. How nice to have an all beef no nitrates hotdog!

If you’re visiting Homer, scrolling through googling asking yourself “do I really wanna get a hotdog?” The answer is YES. As an avid hotdog lover, I always have high hopes and they were definitely exceeded. Owner is one of the nicest and most humble guys I’ve ever encountered and his dogs were amazing. He makes his own buns, which are delicious. Look no further, here’s your lunch/dinner stop. My only complaint is I was too full to try a milkshake. Can’t wait to come back!

The best hotdogs (and buns) you can get! Everything is homemade, from the sauces to the toppings to the ice cream. And the owner, Jim, is so friendly and happy to chat about his creations, 100% worth the stop

Hot diggity dog!
I just had the best reindeer hot dog of my life! It's my only reindeer hot dog, but delicious nonetheless and with zero nitrates. I'm a bison hot dog kind of girl but I was pleased to learn caribou is higher in protein than my usual pick. Out of our group of 6, the majority enjoyed the beef hot dog most. With cheese sauce (you can get as creative as you want), however I chose the classic horseradish mustard, dill relish, and onions. That homemade bread though (patent pending), another first experience for me that did not disappoint. The owner is helpful and friendly, his enthusiasm made the experience top notch! Check out their shakes and malts while you're there. Great for the whole family. We sat outside at a picnic table in August but for less than perfect weather you can enjoy inside seating. I'd be happy to give 5 stars except access is a bit limited for wheelchairs or physically challenged patrons. However, don't let that stop you, if close quarters feels hindering, grab your order to-go, it's worth it! Homer has a lot of hot dog stands, but this is my favorite.

Parking: A large gravel parking area is available behind the shack.

Kid-friendliness: Kids who love hot dogs and ice cream will love the Gourmet Hot Dog Shack and the owner is very warm and welcoming to people of all ages.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility is a bit hindersome.

This was right down the street from my hotel and I'm so glad I made the stop! The hot dog was amazing! The owner, even more so! He was the friendliest guy ever, genuinely getting to know each of the customers ordering. He makes his own hot dog buns that he designed to hold the hot dog perfectly. I tried a regular hot dog but will go again to try one of the funky speciality ones!

My parents, girlfriend, and I came by for lunch and had a fantastic experience. The owner was incredibly friendly. The hotdogs and corn dogs were very customizable and delicious and you could tell how much care he's put into his shop. I recommend a stop by when you're in

The food was so good there that I’m still thinking about it weeks later. My girlfriend and I came in expecting nothing but hotdogs and we were greeted with so much more. Genuinely one of the best hot dogs I’ve ever had (I’m from ct so that’s a big deal) and the owner was kind and generous. Anyone who rates this poorly clearly is wrong and for my sakes go to this amazing place.

Genuinely the nicest man in the world. He cares so much about his business. Everything he has is gluten free and nitrate free. He cares about the purity of his food. And please please PLEASE ask him about his hotdog buns. Dairy and gluten free and they are so perfect for hotdogs.
