I love this hotdog stand! The staff is very vibe and considerate and they make you feel welcome! They have a beef dog, veggie, and a turkey! I got the #2 which comes with two dogs with whatever toppings you like! This was delicious, filling, and a savory taste of americas past time! The restrooms were also very clean, and so was the dining area. This is the sams! I recommend the beef hotdog with onions, sauerkraut, and mustard! I also had a beef dog with beer cheese and ketchup! Super good!Vegetarian options: They have a veggie dog that you can put any veggie toppings on, as well as potato salad, coleslaw, and chips. For a small stand it is very inclusive.Dietary restrictions: Turkey dogs, veggie dogs, anything you need!Kid-friendliness: All kids love hotdogs! They also have cake pops available! There is also some kid friendly drinks like juice, and yahoo!

We love Sam’s hot dog stand every day but today was especially awesome! They were out of vegetarian hot dogs and the manager ran(literally) to the store and got more so me and my kids could have them. He also gave us brownies for waiting. Seriously above and beyond customer service on top of being delicious!!

Their food is okay. A little overpriced if you just want a regular hotdog. My biggest complaint is that you never know if they are open or not. We went by on a Saturday at 1pm and they weren’t open (should have been open till 7 according to their Facebook page). There was no reason they shouldn’t have been.

Very funny very friendly staff! Great prices and even better food! Absolutely worth every penny! This little hole in the wall hotdog stand is a great place to do a date night or for large groups like football games! They have small meals or bundle orders! Their sides are great as well, although location does depend on side options.This location has a small gift shop inside!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a convenient drive-thru option. I am handicapped and I love the easy drive-thru.

My chili dog was cold. The BBQ sandwich was pretty good.
Place is rarely open and on days open they are closed before the closing time on door.

My visit to Sam's Hot Dogs in Lexington, Kentucky, left me rather disappointed. The hot dogs, including the Polish sausage, failed to impress, lacking the flavor and quality I expected. Surprisingly, the absence of tomatoes, a staple for hot dogs, left me questioning the completeness of the offerings.On a positive note, the staff was friendly, and the overall cleanliness of the establishment, including the restroom, was commendable. While I won't be returning, it's worth noting that personal preferences, especially for someone accustomed to the renowned Chicago dogs, may play a role in my disappointment. If you're curious, give it a try, but as someone with a taste for Chicago's culinary delights, Sam's Hot Dogs didn't quite hit the mark for me.
