Fun little stop!
This didn't come up in our searches, just happened to drive by. Beef hot dog & root beer : delicious! Worth the drive in itself.

This is such a cute place. Ice cream floats are a little overpriced for what you get, but it's a novelty. There are no vegetarian choices if your thinking of having a quick lunch. Would be nice if they at least offered prepackaged salads.

Very cool touristy thing to do. Hot dogs were good and can't go wrong with root beer. Loved learning about the making of the barrel and it's history. Picnic tables aren't in the best spots, could easily fall off.

The root beer is too good! The Frankie dog (mac and cheese hotdog) is one I would recommend!

Stood in line for 20 mini and there was no hope that we would be served in time to make it to our sand dune tour. They had one person working. Definitely understaffed for lunch time on the first weekend in October( Saturday with nice weather. There were at least 30 in line, drove by at 3 and the line was equally as long. Maybe next trip
No veggie dogs anymore! Full of bees. Seems new ownership is missing the mark.
Just overall sloppy.
The portions are generous (get the napkins ready for some good messy eating, which is exactly what you want from a place like this) and the atmosphere is chill.
One thing I liked was how the staff wasn't shy about shouting out names when an order was ready. Maybe it was just the people that happened to be there that day, but if the folks behind the counter shout to the heavens, you know it's a good place, in my opinion ?

Had high expectations due to the reviews, but was so disappointed. Service was extremely slow and the workers were unhappy and completely checked out. Half of our groups orders were messed up. Mac and cheese was half cold and had burnt bits. It's definitely a cute spot to stop and we liked the atmosphere, but the benches were dirty with old food and not very sturdy. Maybe just an off day, but not someplace I'd return.
