Omg! This is the best place in Newport, hands down. Friendly and funny people running the show and serving up these delicious dog. The chili dogs are so good and the poutine is yum, yum, yummy. I topped it off with coffee milk from a local dairy. Amazing. I’ll probably be back for lunch tomorrow. Prices are so reasonable

I love hot dogs and this place makes a good dog. Lots of other food too. I had a chili dog with extra onions and a kraut and mustard (my fav.) I will be back. Note: Cash only.

The hot dog itself is also very tasty, so the combination of the seemingly simple but deliciously homemade ingredients come together to make the perfect chili & cheese dog.

I once tried having onions and seasoning on my chili cheese dog which I didn't really like, and another time I tried a sample of the chourico topping (which apparently is
