Today we stopped in and ordered take out. 2 cheeseburgers and chili cheeseburgers! We took the food home to enjoy and it was still hot and the fries were still crispy and had just the right amount of salt!!!! The employees were nice and even brought the food to my car while I was waiting on it!!! This was our 3rd visit and we will be back!

Amazing food and friendly staff! This will definitely be a new place to frequent for us! The burgers are huge and well seasoned! The fries were crispy and the cheese fries had plenty of cheese! Outside dining and was still very cool with fans to keep us cool! Love love love this spot!

Sorry no pictures , I forgot my phone at home. I will update with photos next time I visit .
I kept it basic , with a chili dog fries and a Diet Coke . The price was fair and the service was next to immediate, and friendly .
The fries were a couple of degrees below lukewarm, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they are frozen Checker’s fries from Dollar General . May have been better if they were hot , but as it is they were uninspiring . Next time I’ll try them with some chili and cheese .
The Diet Coke was in a can , and about the same temperature as the fries . They did give me a cup of ice though .
This sounds less than stellar I know , but let us consider the chili dog . The chili dog was hot and the bun soft and fresh , sounds basic I know , but I can’t tell you how often I’m served stale or soggy buns at other establishments . The wiener is a red link , and with a nice crisp snap , not mushy . The chili is tasty , and plentiful enough to be satisfying yet not so much as to be messy . It has a great consistency that keeps it on the hot dog , not on the plate , all over your fingers or the front of your shirt .
The chili dog alone is enough to bring me back. You may think it seems like a simple thing , making a good chili dog . I assure you that it is not . There are far more bad chili dogs being served than good ones in eateries across the area … this is one of the good ones .
Dining is outdoors under a metal carport type shelter , and a busy road runs right past it providing ample opportunity to people watch . Just the right atmosphere to gobble down a good chili dog
Next time I’ll try the burger , and update with pictures .
Worth a visit .
EDIT: Went back today 9/11/2025 and ordered a chili-cheese burger , chili dog and fries .
I’m still not particularly enamored of fries , although they were hot and fresh , just not my jam . However , if you like a huge , tasty , homemade style burger this is the spot for you . Served piping hot and really meaty , this is a serious contender for the best burger in the area .
For me though the star of the show is still the chili dog , not fancy , not pretentious , just delicious - as a chili dog should be .
Check it out , y’all .

This place was always top notch, went there today u der the new owners im assuming and it was just a regular ole hot dog and Hamburger, nothing special but still had the the “good food” price!! Food was ok at best and should definitely improve everything if they wanna stay in business! Not everyone’s opinion just mine!
Cheap tasting hotdogs

The burger was great, the fries were absolutely amazing.
We also got a chili slaw hot dog, it wasn’t that great, I seemed like the chili the hot dog and the bun were all the same texture. The bun seemed alittle stale.
But overall not bad, cute little place.
