Step back in time? Yea, thank you very much I think I will! Loved this little gem in downtown LaGrange. The hot dogs are excellent, reasonably priced (imagine that!!) and the atmosphere is cozy and nostalgic. By cozy, I mean it’s small. Sit at the counter if you can or in one of the small 2-toppers beside the bar. How rare to find a family run restaurant that has been in business for over 100 years. I dare say not much has changed-and that’s a good thing. We had the slaw dog and the kraut dog and highly recommend both. If you are in the area as stop here is a “must-do”.
Food is fresh and prepared with care. Service is excellent which is hard to find anymore at any price point. Atmosphere is casual and very friendly. Prices are still reasonable. Street parking. Not much room inside. If you need space for a wheelchair, I would go to the other location.
Great little place…step back into time. Very accommodating with the no bun option too! You must try the ice cream sandwiches are made with FRESH baked cookies!! Family owned. Great friendly staff. We enjoyed our meal and visiting!
I hadn't been there in a while, so after getting my tag I decided to stop by. I got a cheeseburger w/ chili, a kraut dog, chips and a sweet tea. My only complaint is that I wish they had hit the steamer 3 times... that really makes a difference. I'm pretty sure that's how Clifford used to do it back in the day.
We were out exploring LaGrange and came across this iconic eating establishment. Being that we love hot dogs and it was lunchtime it was perfect timing. They have outside window orders , counter front and narrow dining tables inside. 2 doors to get down either side. We sat at the counter seats, menu right in front of you, quick and friendly service. They were pumping out boiled dogs on steamed buns and steamed burgers. We were later informed at the brewery down the street (Wild Leap) the grilled chicken sandwich is also the bomb.....next time. Anyway I had a chile dog, double onions and a line of mustard made perfectly, bag of chips and a Coke. The wife had a chile dog, chip and a Coke. I enjoyed it and the atmosphere so much I had another chile dog..???? We prefer these types of establishments to the chains anyway!
Lots of people here on arrival ordering at the sidewalk window. Many sharing that they are regulars aa they enjoy the price point, speed and hot dogs. We ordered hot dogs and they seemed standard. I tired the burger made fresh but not a recommendation. There is limited seating inside and some behind the building.
Wow, what an experience! It’s too bad these types of places are disappearing, because they have so much character. We were able to find a seat at the counter and our order was quickly taken on a notepad. I got a cheeseburger and chili dog with onions. My wife got a chili dog with onions and slaw dog and we both got chips and a drink. It was fun to watch them steam the hotdogs and cheeseburgers to order and you can tell this place is loved. A true hidden gem if you’re in LaGrange.
Charming down home feel and retro coke decor. The staff were very friendly and everything was clean. After the rave reviews I was expecting something special. However the food was mediocre, the hot dogs were better than the cheeseburger. The patties are pre-frozen pressed with no taste. I was suprised that they didn't sale fries. Only a bag of chips is available to go with your dog or burger. Their tea was good as was the service, just the food was a disappointment.
