“ Ho Boy, what a find. Perhaps you thought you would be relegated to another "craft lunch" at an "artisanal restaurant". Think again. This classic American eatery will bring to mind the Star Spangled banner and the Golden Days of Yore when steam engines road the rails and you only had two choices for "handhelds". The Dog and the Burger. Come here for a dog or two and you are sure to feel that for once, something was in fact fair trade. ”
“ I am sitting in this place right now and I am both in heaven and bummed that I have never been here before! The food is so good! My mom told me that they have the best fries and she wasn't kidding! My first bite made me close my eyes and transported me to a boardwalk in the past for a few moments. The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. I love the drawings of local celebrities(I think) on the walls, as well as older pictures of Scranton. Definitely check out this place! ”
“ I’m from Texas and had a craving for a chili dog so I picked this place. Not disappointed. Choose the foot long dog with nacho cheese and spicy mustard . Garlic truffle fries were also a good choice for me. They have many others I would go back and try. Got a cotton candy milkshake to go. I would definitely come back again ... ”

“ First time here, really enjoyed the dogs. Slicing the dogs in half I'm not accustom too but did not affect the taste of the dogs. my Texas Weiner had a soft steamed bun, the chili had a good taste without being over spiced. My service was excellent, spoke to the main guy who cooked the dogs, I was told there celebrating 100 years of serving their style of hot dogs. Here's to another great 100 years! ”
