The Roast Grill

This place is amazing. I'm in town once a year and have been trying to come here for the past 3, but kept missing their open hours. Finally made it this year and it did not disappoint. You want hot dogs? They got em. Bring cash. The definition of no frills. Great service and atmosphere, friendly staff and owners. So glad I was able to stop in.

My first experience at the Roast Grill was back in 1979 when Mrs. Charles ran the Grill, and been going ever since. And the quality of their hotdogs is as great as ever, too. There’s a line of stools along the bar and 2 tables for 2. It can be packed during lunch hour, and I try to be there when George and Kathy Poniros open at 11:30 Tuesday through Saturday. The regulars are like family, and welcome everyone that comes in. Roast Grill only serves hotdogs (no ketchup!), no fries. And homemade baklava or pound cake for dessert. Been in business since 1940 and still open, using the same grill from that first day. There are other good hotdog places around, but The Roast Grill will burn them to order the way you like them.

One of the best mom n pop places I’ve been to! Great folks! Excellent Weiners! No fuss no kiss kinda place. Loved it!

A relic of a bygone time in the best way possible. Patrons of note snipped all over the back wall, the old-fashioned hot dogs cooked right in front of you by the owner and chef. It felt like a mom and pop cooking for the family. "Warm and friendly" doesn't do it justice. Buddy of mine ordered a bottle of coke and it came with a complimentary pack of Planters peanuts, and all meals are ended with a small, free Tootsie Roll. They take care of you here. You get a sense of community, even if it's your first time. I ordered two all-the-way hot dogs (mustard, onions, slaw, and chili), and it was the best ten bucks I'd ever spent. Perfectly classic. They also serve brats, homemade pound cake, and homemade baklava. Those are on the agenda for next time, for sure!

Old school hole in the wall. Hot dog joint as it should be Hot dogs were perfect! Ly burnt with mustard slaw, chili and onions Had to get the homemade baklava and a Coke and a glass bottle to get the full experience Was treated with a Tootsie roll In the end Forgot to mention how great the chili flavor was. Was worried that the slaw was not going to be that good but it complimented the dog perfectly Cash only A warning to you ketchup lovers. There's no ketchup on site 🤣🤣 Do not. And I mean do not miss an opportunity to get a hot dog here you can. Thank me later
