  I don’t normally review but I came to eat.here and the restaurant is unbelievably hot. I have always loved it there and the food is always good and the staff is nice too. I felt so bad for everyone in there. Sad to see it.

  This makes no sense for a hot dog restaurant to be this good in kentucky is crazy. Straight dog n bun is good all the way up! I love candied japs and that's all I could think to make it any better than it is. 10 out of 10 and somewhat safe end of town. Must have in Lexington!

  Great food. The workers made it even better. So busy but still was very personable and helpful. They even asked about mother's day. I felt bad that I did not ask about theirs. My apologies, guys. Hopefully it was as amazing as u guys were to me! The hot dogs were great as always. I missed the lex green location. Hot dogs r so good here though that I will definitely be back. Thank you, guys!
