★★★★☆ 4.0 Steve De Graw · Jun 2020

The food was ok. The fritos boat was yummiest. The wonderful and delightful ladies were awesome. The banana milkshake was good, if they added strawberry omg yum. The pineapple shake was ok - lots of pulp on the bottom.

This place is a truly a treasure. The beautiful young woman who works the counter is so friendly, the food is great. Hotdogs are always fresh, ingredients are fresh, I take my family here to have what they offer which is different than anything around, a delicious hotdog in a bun with relish tomatoes and cheese, oh yes and onions. The atmosphere is warm and charming.

I had to take a Gribble Halkinpacker out to the Reservoir so the Rangers there can keep better track of the migrating Pollywingers when they show up in July to nest. I was running a little early so when I spotted Sam's Dod House, I knew right then and there were I was going to eat! Nothing beats a perfectly cooked dog when you don't have a lot of time...that is unless you ask for a double! It's twice as good! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Pink Whatever · Jul 2025

the dogs were okay regular hot dogs, ran out of turkey dogs a few times but my main issue is the subliminal racist feeling i get coming in there won’t have me back. walking in having the front desk lady look at you and answer your questions with a hint of disgust idk it’s a feeling but a strong one nonetheless.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Joseph Urbina · Jun 2025

This place that sells hot dogs is “Overpriced”. Small hot dog that cost “$6”. The size that I’m discussing is “movie theater size”. Come on that is too expensive for a hot dog, especially if it’s that size. Don’t come to this place. If you really want to get a phenomenal hotdog. Go to “Caspers Hot Dogs“ in Richmond or “Fosters Freeze”.
