After hearing the history and hype, I had to at least give it a try. Man am I glad I did.It is a simple, no-frills, hot dog joint. The food hasn't changed in 96 years and the store probably hasn't either. That is NOT a bad thing. It is a step back in time and sometimes a bit of nostalgia makes everything better.As for the food. It is a simple red hot hot dog served on a steamed bun. This isn't something that will win Master Chef or get them a James Beard Award. If that is what you're expecting, you're missing the whole point of what a hot dog joint is. They simply have three things you can put on your dog; yellow mustard, diced onions, and their "house recipe chili". The chili is good, in its own unique way.The chili is a white bean chili with some spice. I'm fairly sure it is "thickened" with corn starch l, so it has a texture different from every other chili I've had (I'm a native Texan, so that is a LOT of chili). I had to approach it with an open mind, because it wasn't a "chili sauce" (like Cincinnati raves about), chili con carne (Texas style), or really anything I was used to. With all that said, it is tasty and I will definitely get it on my dogs in the future. It does have some heat, which is a very subjective thing. On a 1 to 10 scale, I'd place it at a 4. It hits a medium level with a lingering burn that is enough to open sinuses,but won't make you sweat or give you stomach cramps.So, in summation, I say if you want a simple and quick bite for lunch as you stroll the little Washington downtown and riverfront, you can't go wrong with a Bill's Hot Dog or three. Grab some chips and a soda and wander South towards the river and grab a bench or picnic table. What you are doing is continuing on a lunch tradition in the area that goes back to before the Great Depression.Parking: On street parking is available, but limited, in front of the store and along Main Street to the South. There are free parking lots South near the water and East towards Market (across from the courthouse) that are a block or so away. Street parking in front is limited to 1 hour, but as this is a takeout,that isn't a major concern. If you're wanting to stroll downtown,use one of the lots for longer parking availability.

I give it a 5 star because I had no idea what it was gonna be like! Very North Carolinian and it was amazing!! The people there were very friendly and the food was good! I like how it felt like you traveled back in time the moment you walk up to the door! Never had Bills hot dogs before but I’d definitely go back! Recommend this if you want something authentic, different and are an adventurous person!

My kids and husband love this spot. They go most every Saturday for a bite to eat after working really hard at the farm. They enjoy the flavors and varieties of toppings.
