Customer Reviews
After stumbling upon photos of their infamous 2 foot hot dog online, we traveled quite a way to try this place out! The restaurant itself is full of charm- you can’t help but smile when you walk in. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. While the menu has many good options to choose from, we opted for the dogs! They were not only delicious but entertaining and enjoyable to eat overall. The whole experience left us smiling (and very full)! Thank you Doogie’s-totally worth the drive and will definitely be back!
I went here with my family for lunch over the weekend. I've been here a couple times before, but many years ago, and it was nice for my son to be able to experience it. We told my son about the first time we ever went here I was pregnant with him and Grandpa took us and ate a whole 2 foot long hot dog like it was nothing, and it was one of the few places I ate at when I was pregnant that I wasn't sick after which was rare. My son decided to take after grandpa and try for the 2 foot long hot dog with chili and cheese and he ate every bite, he has the hunger of a teenage boy. This place is small and cozy, you might get a table, the turnover is fast (seat yourself), there's picnic tables outside or you can take it to go. We were able to sit inside. Service is great, fast, and polite. Prices
It felt like home ... Huge variety... Fresh seafood they'll even cook it to how you like it ... Their cheese fries with chili was delicious... And my family ready enjoyed the card games (trivia) at the table while they brought us our food... They were accommodating and friendly... HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Hot dogs sold here, from 10 inches to two feet long. Get them plain or with various toppings -- kraut, chili, cheese, etc. Among the condiments is an especially good hot relish (my favorite). Burgers, fries, and fried seafood items are on the menu as well, but I go for the hot dogs. The decor and ambient music are 50s oldies --45 RPM records line the walls. The staff work to be able to address returning customers by name, a nice touch. Got an appetite and a capacity for an eating challenge? See the ads on the walls for what you'd need to pack away quickly to get your photo on the winners wall.
The place doesn't look like much from the outside or honestly on the inside either. What I can say is that the food is cooked fresh and the staff is very friendly. I ate there twice. The first was a 10-inch hot dog with fries and a free drink. The hotdog had a nice crunch to it. The second time, I had chicken Philly sandwich with peppers and onions, and I chose melted cheese sauce. It is a little pricey, in my opinion, but I think it is worth it. Tuesdays is a 2ft hot dog with free fries and drink. It seems popular as it was a busy Tuesday. It is a great meal to share. I will definitely go back when I'm in time.
