I grew up three blocks from there in the 1950s. Glad to see they are still using a paint mixing stick for the mustard! It has been remodeled since those days. I didn't know they were still in business. Now that I have retired in the area, I will have to go back soon. Used to have partially cobble stone streets, with some of the old street car tracks still showing. Thank-you for sharing!

I love the Thumbnail with My gal Cindy and her hotdog 🤗 ! I can’t stand cold fries so I’m glad they corrected that ! I actually like my fries double fried it makes them extra crispy when I use to work at Wendy’s on my lunch break I would make double Fried French Fries .. lol I can’t believe they charged 65 cents for a water to paying customers . I went to a big chain fast food place the other day and I didn’t order anything but a cup of ice they said that’s free I tried to pay for it because I wasn’t buying anything else they said no it’s free that was in Sevierville ! I like the retro look and it looked clean . The chili looked good ! Thanks for another great review 🧡🤍Ren

I have been to this restaurant many times over the years. It is pretty good. I was wondering if yall would review the Roanoke Weiner Stand after seeing your review of the Weenie Stand in Lynchburg. Glad to see you make it to Roanoke. Water should be free if you buy food there. I can understand if they want to charge a few cents for a cup. The price of everything is rising. But 65 cents seems about 50 cents too high for a styrofoam cup of water. Thanks for your review!

Good Tuesday morning friends, Charging for a cup of water is ridiculous! I guess I got a bargain when a restaurant charged me fifty cents for a sliver of lemon in my ice water! lol…. Cindy, by now I know you’re not a lover of onions 🧅 😊. I am glad that you’re not afraid to ask for hotter foods. I think David’s “HUTDOG” looked pretty good. Carly to my knowledge is always so nice with her comments even if the food sucked, in my opinion. Cindy you asked where in Western Pennsylvania do I live. I am an hour east of Pittsburgh, a small city known for three major floods. We do have a great hotdog place called Conley Island, of course! 😂😋 You may have a hard time seeking any fun around here but close enough to find places to enjoy. I like Pittsburgh but the traffic, bridges and on and off ramps are horrible. We like downtown Pittsburgh at The Strip District and it’s not what people would think! Haha. Many different ethic shops, great restaurants, and outdoor vendors, Pittsburgh exclusive shops and souvenirs. Glad you got to see The Pirate’s game. I enjoy The Penguin’s and The Steeler’s $$$$. This is probably the longest comment I ever made! Now about me and my life, just kidding! 😄😂😆

I do remember going to Primanti Brothers when we went to Pittsburgh. I remember it being ok. Will definitely need to check out The Strip District if we go back.

For those commenting about the price of the cup, it was a strategic decision made by the business as there was a tremendous problem with homeless drug addicts coming in constantly for water. Normally it’s not a problem but they would yell at children and their families (while they were trying to eat) and generally caused a nuisance. They started charging for water and the problem went away. Those of us who live here just want some damn hotdogs without being accosted.

This charging for water trend needs to stop. I realize restaurant profit margins are razor thin most places, but that is not a good way to make up on the back end. You will just make people angry over a few cents. You could argue it's just a few cents more, but it's the principle of the thing that really matters most here. Just give people water hot or cold or iced.

Well it didn't look like people were fighting to sit down so I think charging for a cup to drink water from is ridiculous. The place actually looks like they need to up their game like maybe adding milkshakes, ice cream or something. Cute little place with nice decor but the food has to equal the look. I also noticed when the guy slapped the mustard on like he could barely take the time to add it. Didn't look bad but I wouldn't seek it out myself. Thanks though for the coverage.

Definitely would be nice if there was more on the menu. Of course they have been in business for over 100 years and probably figure that it's working for them. Adding some burgers to the menu would be a good idea. We will definitely be doing some more hotdog joints and tastee-freezes.
