No pool tables, but damn good hot dogs!
Cash only - they'll take U.S. dollars at a 1:1 exchange rate, so you're better off paying in Canadian.
The menu is simple & classic: choose between cucumber relish, mustard, or sauerkraut. Ketchup? It's self-serve on the counter once you get your order.
But the real surprise? The buns - soft, chewy, & perfectly steamed - they might be even better than the dogs themselves. A no-frills gem that delivers exactly what it promises.

Pour vrai y'a pas mieux comme endroit & c'est certainement le meilleur hot dog que j'ai jamais mangé. Les gars étaient super cool & nous ont même proposé une photo avec la ceinture. On a adoré. Sans parler des prix imbattable de nos jours. 12,50$ pour 2 hot dogs frite & boisson !!! Merci à notre ami qui nous disais qu'il fais ca depuis 20 & 30 ans. C'est incroyable de voir a quel point on peut garder le sourire. Je recommande à tout le monde. J'ai fais 10h de route pour manger à cet endroit & je ne regrette aucunement
