I have been to Zack's, and was not too impressed. Where in Wilson is Dick's? Is it near Parkers BBQ?

If you're going to have a dog in Burltown, you gotta go to Boston's, which is around the corner from Zack's. The chili is less greasy and their burgers -- all the way with chili, onions mustard and slaw -- are exceptional. I make a point of driving an hour (from Raleigh) at least once a month. When my buddy from Florida -- Dr. S -- comes to town, we go. Indeed, he's driving 500 miles this New Year's for two combos and a bottle Pepsi.

I'll second Hot Dog Heaven, for the name if nothing else. It's in the center of woodstock, ga. Go to Atlanta, North of the perimeter on I-75, take I-575 north, turn right off the Towne Lake Parkway exit. When you hit Main Street, it's near that intersection.

Dick Howell's Barbeque Pit in Florence, AL (I assume they are still open... perhaps some other Chowhounds from that area would know) and Brooks Barbecue in Muscle Shoals, AL serve my favorite Slaw Dogs in North West Alabama.
The slaw, which my family refers to as "Dick Howell's Slaw", is a vinegar/mustard based hot slaw. The slaw is a family secret and has been made for years in this area.
My understanding is that both restaurants are owned by some of Dick Howell's family. It's our tradition when visiting family in that area to grab a couple dozen of the dogs at Brooks for lunch and a bag of Golden Flake Potato Chips. The slaw is also served on BBQ sandwiches. Mmmmmm.. a craving just hit!
In Fayetteville, TN, on the square, there is Bill's Pool Room (not sure if they are still open either) and Honey's. Both serve "Pool Room Slaw". The slaw is a very sweet mustard slaw that is served on both hot dogs and the famous pool room burgers. These hot dogs were a favorite of mine while attending school in the area.

Yum Yum's onions are usually chopped to a mush and are old so that the sulfur compunds in them become nasty. Sometimes their chili is off too. I have eaten there off and on for close to 40 years.
The Dog House in High Point NC is definitely better.

You've eaten nasty hot dogs for 40 years? What's wrong with you dude.
Seriously, Yum Yum's is an acquired taste. However, I'm betting they sell more hotdogs than any of the top 10

Yum-Yum has to be the best anywhere. I grew up in Greensboro and even remember when they were on the corner of Spring Garden and College. I live in Nashville, TN now and whenever I go back to Greensboro, I make it a habit of going to Yum-Yum for "three no slaw and a Cheerwine". My second lunch tradition would be Stamey's on the High Point Road.

I can't believe no one has suggested Chicago Mike's in Homewood, AL. They use all beef Kosher franks and all the way entails mustard, onion, kraut and a bbqish sauce. My fave is the slaw dog by far. Delicious.
Unfortunately it's only a during the week lunch place, 10 or 11 am until around 3 pm, Monday through Friday. I've woken up many Saturdays wanting a Chicago Mike dog.
I have tried the Skin's in Clemson and am waiting to try the original one in Anderson before I make my final decision, but so far I'm not impressed.

I do love me some Mike's. Mike and his wife are so awesome and always greet me with a "Hey, Baby!" just like when he was working at his brother Lou's bar (Lou's Pub and Package). My usual was a slaw dog, Milo's Tea, and a bag of Cajun Crawtator Zapp's potato chips. Heaven!

Does anyone know the brand of hot dog served at Skin's?
Permalink | Reply
The Rough House in Abbeville S.C (county that borders Anderson; where Skin's is) is the original for this style of chile as well as the way this dog is served - and better! From the consistency of the chili to the way the chili finds its way into that top slit of the bun hugging that dog, The Rough House, since 1932, is the original. Skin Thrasher must have came through Abbeville on his way home quite a few times before opening his place many years later.
This style of chili has actually become a regional phenomenon as a few other places make their chili the same way - Skin's just happens to be one of them.
The Rough House did make Rachael Ray's "Everyday" magazine March '11 issue in the "64 best hot dogs of the United States" article - should've won. Atmosphere also adds major points to this place... stop by on your way, or out of your way, to Anderson.

Just had a great dog (well, two great dogs) at Hap's Grill in Salisbury, NC. Dogs all the way are with chili, mustard, onion (no slaw). The chili is excellent. You get your dog hot off the grill and stand at the counter or around one of the tall tables on the sidewalk outside.

I'm from Atlanta and therefore have had Varsity dawgs since I cut my teeth. Living in Tallahassee I frequent Paradise for the Mutt and Jeff's BBQ Slaw Dog. There is also a place in Albany Ga. that is good - but I can't recall the name. But by far the very best I've had in 43 years - and I love dawgs like few other things - is The Billiard Academy in Thomasville, Ga. There is nothing fancy about this place - it's a pool hall. The dawgs come with chili - which is what makes them so damn good - and you can request mustard, ketchup, and onions. The chili is primarily ground beef with spices - it's a secret recipe but Lord I wish they would bottle the stuff! Really worth a trip but you got to get there early - they usually run out by 4 PM and the line starts to form around 11 AM.

The best hotdog in the south, is Jimmie's Hot Dogs (An Albany Tradition, in business at the same location since 1925) 204 S. Jackson, Albany, GA Contact: (229) 435-4751. There is something special about the place, no chairs or tables, just a line of poeple , from the register, along the counter in front the staff preparing the Jimmies, out the door and onto the sidewalk. You place your order, when summoned by the lead preparer, in a loud voicerous voice response by saying, the quantity of Jimmies, and the level and or tyoe of condidments each. ' Two all the way ( two chili dogs with ketchup, mustard, and onnions.) or two without ( no onions). Jimmies are cheap, and people order them by the tens and dozens. Oh yeah they also sell chewing,& smoking tobacco, and snuff.

When I was in high school 50 years ago, our band bus often stopped at the Albany bus station, which was right across the street from Jimmie's. About 75 guys would jump off the bus and run to get to the front of the line. Being teenage pigs, we'd order 3-4 dogs each and, amazingly, they'd manage to feed us all in the 15-20 minutes the bus was stopped. After all these years, I still remember how good they were.

Im from Albany, GA. Im not being bias, but Jimmies' HotDogs in Albany is God's second gift to man. When u bite into one of those "little taste of heaven" they melt in your mouth and dance on your tongue and soothes your soul. I now live in Atl and tried the Varsity's chilli dog and it does not come a mile close. I took a friend of mine there a few years back who is from Detroit and he talks my ear off about Jimmie's til this day. This place is still standing the test of time. If you are reading this post get to Albany now and experience what the hotdog is suppose to taste like.

I have to recommend Cloos' Coney Island in Raleigh, NC. They are IN the South, but not FROM the South, but I certainly don't hold that against them. Soft buns, snappy dogs and the best chili I've found. Love their fries too! They beat the pants off of both Char-grill and Snoopy's.

haps grill in salisbury (mentioned a couple of times here) are absolutely the best anywhere. the chili is amazing. pair it up with a bottle of cheerwine (in the glass bottle, made with real sugar) and a chili-cheeseburger, and holy crap its amazing. the dogs appear to be pork and have an excellent flavor and snap, thanks to the excellent skills of the guy behind the grill. they also have little bottles of chili-vinegar that add some spice to the bun as well.
i am from salisbury but live in dc. i make sure to stop by there on my way back from seeing the 'rents, and after the 6-8 hour drive back to arlington, and several handwashings, my fingers still smell like the dogs. they're that flavorful.
cloo's coney island in raleigh, near NC state is awesome as well. great chicago dogs, kraut dogs, and cheap beer. love it.
pretty much any nc-style bbq restaurant is going to have a good chili dog. and you can find some great super-red dogs at just about any country store on the two-lane highways.

I've eaten at several of the North Carolina locations mentioned here. I'd much rather go to Millie's in Smithfield (it's just a walk-up window and serves other items besides hotdogs) than Dick's in Wilson. Dick's is a celebrity joint---if it were an Italian restaurant, it would have a signed Frank Sinatra photo---but the dogs, and the atmosphere, were not extraordinary.
The Roast Grill in Raleigh----is that place downtown where the politicians go? After you use the restroom, you have to come back out into the restaurant to wash your hands, and above the sink they tacked-up obituaries of all the Raleigh luminaries who've eaten there over the years, and then died, at some point.
There's a great hole-in-the-wall place in downtown Salisbury where they cook the dogs on the a flattop---haven't seen that one mentioned. Also in Raleigh, there's a place out where Capital Blvd meets 540 (North). It's in a little mall, and serves nothing but hotdog variations. They've got the best dogs in Raleigh, but The Roast Grill is best all-around.
There's an old-time soda fountain in Pittsboro (new, but made to look old, and well-done) that has decent hotdogs, fresh lemonade, and fresh orangeade, which they are proud enough of to recommend.
Of yeah, there's a good hotdog place in downtown Roanoke too.
I see that the place in Salisbury is called Hap's. I'm not sure that the Roanoke location mentioned is the same one. Don't know the name of that one either.

Barkers Red Hots are the Best!!
A unique charcoal-broiling process, a premium quality hot dog and a love for a "dog done right" are the ingredients for the success enjoyed by the Barkers team since 1984. Glenn Robins and his wife Vivian began their hot dog business as the City of Atlanta’s first licensed street vending operation. They started in the Woodruff Park area of downtown Atlanta that year and the Barkers Phenomenon has been amazing them ever since.
The premium quality hot dogs and sausages are made exclusively for Barkers by a fifth generation family-owned and operated sausage maker who has been in business since 1869. The hot dogs & sausages are scored while slow cooking over hot coals yielding a slightly crunchy, unique flavor that over the years has kept Atlanta waiting patiently in line. Indeed, "its worth the wait" was more than a slogan at the Barkers carts. Top your dog with Barkers Famous Hot Sauce, an order of their Famous Crinkle Cut Beach Fries washed in vinegar and an Ice Cold Crystal Beach Loganberry and the lunch hour could not be more perfect!
Consistency in preparation and a quality product have brought rave reviews from every local publication and many national ones too, including the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, Atlanta Business Chronicle, The New York Times and Condé Nast Traveler.
The Robins sold their vending business in 1995 because of all all the problems asscociated with vending in the City of Atlanta. They are now back after 12 years in Marietta Georgia on Windy Hill Road and Powers Ferry Rd.
The decor is cool and the staff is great!! Check them out they are the best dogs around!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm disappointed that no one has mentioned Hot Diggity Dogs in Nashville. It hasn't been around very long but has completely won the hearts of Nashvillians... Layla and Gayle, the proprietors, are charming and welcoming and will yell at you if you take too much time ordering. The Nashville Dog is homemade slaw, onions and mustard; they also offer a Chicago-style, Texas (chili and cheese), Boston (baked beans and cheese), even a California-style, served on a lettuce leaf instead of a bun. Grilled or steamed, your choice. Makes my mouth water just to think of it. And don't skip the fries!

Famous Uncle Al's in Virginia Beach is the real deal and just off the beach on Shore Drive. Also, Hot Dog King on Jefferson Ave. in Newport News (dont confuse with HDK #2) makes a great foot long chili dog.Grampy's around the corner in Newport News also has good southern style (NC) dogs and a lot other outstanding home cooking.

Charlie Joseph's in LaGrange, GA. I grew up with The Varsity, and CJ's put them to shame. It is like a little alley with the kitchen in the middle. There are counters on either side of the kitchen. My wife is from LaGrange and I have been going there for 7 years now. They are always as friendly as can be.
I'm a fancy-pants, so I like my dog dressed up. They have a homemade spicy tomato relish there that is unbelievable. We typically buy some and take it back to Atlanta with us. Aside from this, you have your typical chili/cheese/coleslaw fare.
I'm astonished that Charlie Joseph's hasn't been mentioned in this thread, yet. So astonished that I signed up for this message board and posted for my first time.
For good measure, though, Alice Cooper's restaurant in Phoenix, AZ has a two foot long dog that has jalepenos all over it. I have no opinion on it, but it exists.

Agreed! I grew up in LaGrange and have eaten at CJ's my entire life. I used to live on the chili cheese dogs and cheeseburgers, until i tried the Spicy Tomato Relish Dog about four years ago... now its the only thing i get. When i come home from college i will go eat there everyday i am home. Its spicy, delicious, and steamed to perfection. Honestly the best dog ive ever eaten. Nu-way, Varsity, 4-way.... nothing compares! Hard to compete with a tradtion that started back in 1920.

We finally made it to Jack's Cosmic Dogs in Mt. Pleasant, SC on this year's trip to the Charleston area. Their dogs are really good. Lots of dog options, including "make your own", plus quite a few vegetarian options. I had the Cosmic dog, which came with blue cheese coleslaw and sweet potato mustard. Yum!

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Tony Jr's Hot Dogs in Norfolk, Va. Greek style coney type dog, natural casing, mustard, onions. To me this hot dog is perfection.
I just arrived in Norfolk, and I plan on eating at least eight per day while I'm here.
Tony's dad worked for Bacalis Hot Dogs, which was in downtown norfolk back in the 40's and 50's. Then his father opened Tony's on Lafayette Blvd. which for a great many years was a favorite of all of Norfolk.
Tony Sr. passed away and left the business to the step mother and the product went downhill, fast.
Tony Jr. bought the lot directly across the street from the original restaurant, and put up a semi-permanent trailer type kitchen, from which he has been replicating his father's wonderful hot dogs for quite a while.
Teriffic coney/Greek style hot dog. Can't wait.

What actually defines a "Southern" hot dog is basically the combo of "mustard-chili-slaw- and onions" which is not available higher than mid-Virginia as far as I can tell. In the Triangle, the go-to spot is the Dog House- yes- red weiners and all- but the Bull Dog - OMG- is it greasy? Hell Yeah it's greasy! and Oh So Gooood! No whiners please! I'd also put a pitch in for Millie's in Smithfeild- love the Millie Dog! Those are really "Southern" hotdogs!

Oh, I beg to differ! Our go-to spot is the Roast Grill in downtown Raleigh. It has been mentioned elsewhere in tihs thread, so I won't go into detail here. I've tried LOTS of Southern hot dogs in my 53 years. Roast Grill is the one for me - grilled "dark,"

El's Drive-in located in Morehead City, NC has been there over 50 years. The joint can't be much larger than 30X30 with bathrooms around back. A server comes out to your car for your order, and then brings out the dogs in a brown bag. You can tell they are good by the grease stains coming through the bag. The hot dogs there are great.......with mustard, onions, chili, and slaw..... that sweet white slaw. My wife, the health food nut, says that it is a good thing that El's is next to the hospital, so I won't have far to go if I have a heart attack eating there. It's easier to enjoy the dogs if I leave her at home. Their hand pattied hamburgers are good too.

My opinion of three places I've seen listed that I have experience with.
1) Paul's Place - Rocky Point, NC: I'd heard about it for years from my parents and finally got a couple a few years back. Wasn't exactly impressed. Good dog, but not one for the "best of" list. I think this place has more of a nostalgia to it by the people who have stopped there for years on their way to and from the coast.
2) Jack's Cosmic Dog - Mt. Pleasant, SC: After passing by this place nearly 100 times in the last three years I finally stopped just this past weekend. REALLY good dogs with tons of house original combinations. The spicy mustard is a good condiment. Nice shoestring fries. The blue cheese slaw is not something I'd EVER try again. I'm sure they wanted something unique with the slaw...they got it. Serving a hot dog in a sub roll is an interesting concept. A good dog and I'll certainly be eating there often when I move to the area in the weeks to come.
3) JS Pulliam - Winston Salem, NC: On a recent scheduled trip to Winston I did a Google search for local BBQ joints. One that I came up with was Pulliam's. Most of the reviews I read of the place mentioned the hot dogs moreso than the Q. The day I stopped by I got a BBQ sandwich (always PORK here in NC) and a hot dog. I went and sat in the car to eat my meal. I ate the pork sandwich and wondered what I had just ingested...the BBQ at Pulliam's isn't a recommendation. The stuff was horrid. I then dove into hotdog. It was a very simple thing really...a red skinned pork hot dog in a standard bun with standard "southern" toppings (slaw, chili, & mustard). The major difference with this dog was how the bun is prepared. The top of the bun (the split top where the dog is to be placed) is dipped in butter and toasted on the flat top. The top, outer portion of the bun was buttery & crisp. This has to be the absolute BEST hotdog I've ever had in my life. When I finished I went straight back in and got another. I grew up on red hot dogs and I understand some people don't like them. Pulliam's offers simple food, but boy is it worth the trip.

I'm with JayL and uptown jimmy on the blue cheese slaw. I wish this trend would go away. Adding blue cheese to slaw eliminates everything I like in a good slaw, turning what should be a light, refreshing condiment or side dish into something heavy, rich, and cloying. Ugh.
Thankfully, Jack's has "normal" slaw as well, or at least they did last time I visited. The sub roll thing must be new development. I don't remember that. Of course, I've avoided the place since the bun of my last dog there fell apart upon first bite. A sub roll sounds like an improvement.

Pulliam's does indeed serve the lil red dogs. To those of us that grew up in North Carolina eating hot dogs of this "genre" they are really good.

Personally, I like Bill's Hot Dogs in [Little] Washington, NC. I used to like the Carolina dog served at King's in Durham, NC, but alas they closed down awhile ago. The Riverside in Hillsborough, NC, utilizes the chili recipe for an old hot dog place that was in downtown Durham (Amos & Andy's), and Bob Garner (of bbq and NC foodie fame) gave their hot dog a good review awhile back.

Jesse Nuckles Hot Dogs in Greensboro, NC!
Jesse was my father and operated a barbecue restaurant from 1930 to 1995. He was noted for his BBQ, Hot Dogs and Chicken/Gravy sandwiches.
His slaw was vinegar based, actually just vinegar/mildly diluted with water and a salt. It complemented the hot dogs and BBQ.
He had a long-time customer that would order a hot dog all the way (mustard, slaw and onions) and instead of his awesome chili....(secret) the customer always requested a spoon of chicken gravy. We called this hot dog after the customer...A Hawkes Dog. Every friday night, he would call in an exorbitantly large order of these "Hawkes Dogs" for his workers....at a local plant. The "Hawkes Dog" caught on....to some, others still preferred the Nuckles-Style chili....
Some of Nuckles' famous customers have been Billy "Crash" Craddock, George Lindsey, and Elvis Presley who frequented Jesse's in the late 50s.

I must recommend the best mustard ever for hot dogs--Stadium Mustard. Anyone who has lived in Cleveland, OH, or gone to a professional sports event there will agree.
A testimonial from their web site: In a pictorial story about Cleveland, FORTUNE MAGAZINE writes about the Cleveland Stadium: "Where Browns and Indians play, but never together. Dawgs howl, the crowd roars, and Stadium Mustard is the world's best."

Totally agree about Bill's in "Little Washington". First ate them in the 60's as I grew up there and always try to have a few when I return to visit my mom. They haven't changed a bit, but the price has risen from 15 cents to just under a dollar as of a couple months ago.....and worth every penny! Darn I feel a road trip coming on!!

If you want a real southern hot dog - and by that I mean a red dog, toasted bun with chili, slaw and mustard -- Pulliams (W-S) is the place. I grew up eating those dogs and hadn't had one in 10 years. Went back there a week or two again - still the heavenly goodness I remembered. I also love the fact that when you go, you see a few things each time - people in their cars in the parking lot pigging out - and the look on the face of someone who has never had one before and it's the look of surprise, pleasure and shock. One guy said to me, "I've been living here for 10 years - why didn't someone tell me sooner?" Pulliams has ruined me. I know there are other places with good dogs, but they're not Pulliams.
Also, don't waste your time getting a hot dog at cookout - you can make those hot dogs at your house- cookout = shakes and burgers - not dogs.

i think this is just the dividing line between red weenie and brown. for those in winston who like red try pulliams or kermits personally I can't stomach those. If you like a brown one go to chars and cook out and get it with mustard chili and slaw.

Pulliam's has to be one of the best. When I lived in W-S 15 years ago, it became a weekly pilgrimage. Having moved to Raleigh since then, we still drive there once a month for their hotdogs.
When we buy at the grocery store, we usually get Steven's Hot Dogs, and make our own chili.
I too, grew up on the red hot dogs. Carolina Packers Bright Leaf, and Steven's. Steven's tend to be not quite as spice as Bright Leaf, but both are great dogs.

First I'd like to know what makes a hotdog great and second define Southern Hotdog (is this with chili and slaw and other specific toppings) or just the region?
Permalink | Reply
The taste is what makes it great. A typical "southern" hotdog is a red, caseless dog, with slaw as a topping, but never ketchup. Mustard. chili, slaw and onions are the most frequent toppings. The red, caseless dog and the slaw are the hallmarks of its regional nature.
Permalink | Reply
Well then where did ketchup start? Cause they don't do it up North.. they don't do it in chicago.. the only place I've even seen it offered is down here.
Is the red still from dye? I mean I eat hot dogs regardless although sometimes you can't taste them underneath all the stuff thats on them. I can't tell you if I've had a favorite dog, but I do enjoy getting out to $1 at the ballpark.

From Wikipedia: (Looks like ketchup is a midwestern thing)
In the US, the National Sausage and Hot Dog Council conducted a poll in 2005, which found mustard to be the most popular condiment (32 percent). "Twenty-three percent of Americans said they preferred ketchup....Chili (chili con carne) came in third at 17 percent, followed by relish (9 percent) and onions (7 percent). Southerners showed the strongest preference for chili, while Midwesterners showed the greatest affinity for ketchup.

Interesting. Mustard makes sense as mustard is the preferred condiments with most sausages and more hearty meats (pastrami and such). Surprised that chili wasn't above ketchup. I can't say I've had a true southern dog (as far as toppings go) as I'm not that fond of slaw or mayo (for shame I know).

I don't think that "Doug's Hot Dogs" in Ocean View in Norfolk has been mentioned. Stopped there two days ago (to make sure they were still there) and had two Hormels with natural casings with mustard, onions, and chili. Good as ever. Doug's Hot Dogs has been there since 1972, the sign said. It's a small family-run place about a block back from the beach.

My mother owns Scoops in Sanford NC, and has owned it for about 25 years now. I absolutely HATE hotdogs, so what I'm about to say is un-biased. :)
Everyone talks about Scoops having the best hotdogs in the state...some have said best in the country. She was recently voted best hot dogs in Lee County by the Sanford Herald.
She also serves sausage dogs.
Years ago, it was a Ice Cream stand that also happened to serve hot dogs. She (my mother) turned it into a hot dog stand that also served ice cream, bbq sandwiches, fries, biscuits, and various other things over the years. She grew tired of serving so much, so just streamlined it to hotdogs, sausage dogs, chips, and sodas.

If you are in NC go to Asheboro. There is a BP gas station that has a little joint inside. It is on Fayettville St. and has one of the best hotdogs I have ever had.

I'm in Nashville for the summer and I'm determined to find the best hotdog here before I leave if you have any suggestions let me know.

Pulliam's in Winston-Salem gets a lot of press as does Jack's Cosmic Dog in Mt Pleasant, SC. I have eaten at both and both are very good. But the very best hot dog I have ever eaten is at Kermit's Hot Dog House at 2220 Thomasville Road in W-S. Kermit's opened in the mid-60s and I first ate them while in high school. I now live near Mt Pleasant, SC but whenever I am in Winston or Greensboro, I will drive to Kermits for the footlong hot dog. Red hotdog, toasted bun, great slaw, onions and chili. For a real treat get the cheese dog with the creamiest, lightest pimento cheese you have ever tasted and make it all the way. My mouth waters at the thought. I may have to drive to Winston
