I’ve been dying to try this local hotdog stand ever since I’ve first came to Wrightsville Beach! The atmosphere definitely reminded me of a great Chicago hotdog stand… Even if the Vienna beef is nowhere to be had, I enjoyed the recommendations from Jackson. I have both the Polish and the traditional trolley dog. Both hit the spot along with the fountain Coke. It didn’t hurt that. It was a beautiful day to have the dogs out on the beach and parking is free in November. Service from Jackson was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.

We tried this place on vacation and it was solid. Tried the mayo & cheese combo cuz it sounded just odd enough haha and it was good. We tried both the Trolly dog and the all beef. I think we each preferred a different one even though they tasted similar. We also tried a build your own with chili, mustard & cheese. They forgot the cheese and they made us a whole new one which was nice because of the line. Reasonable prices which was appreciated. I wouldn’t go out of my way, I’ve had better chili dogs but if you’re nearby it’s worth visiting and trying a fun combo.

Delicious cold brew coffee and chill atmosphere. Great break spot on "the loop"

I would submit that after a day at the beach there is no finer taste than that of a Trolly Stop hot dog! Is it objectively the best hot dog on the planet made from the finest ingredients? Probably not. But it's darn good every time! The building is part of Wrightsville Beach history and eating there is a both a delicious treat; but also a trip down memory lane. I saw a couple of other reviews complaining about the quality and prices of the hot dogs. Just stop. It's a beach hot dog and it's at the beach. It's going to be delicious and it's going to cost more than maybe a normal hot dog shop somewhere in the middle of the state. This place is amazing and it's amazing as a total package.. the people are cool, the building is cool and the dogs are good; and it's fun to pop in after wa

Need a quick bite to compliment a lovely day at the beach? Look no further than the Trolly Stop! The hot dogs are most reasonable, starting at $4, and they have a wide variety of condiments and toppings to choose from. The service is fast and friendly and of course having an ocean next door make the atmosphere stellar.
