What a great beach joint! Our crew of 6 adults and kids had hot dogs, hamburgers and fries. ALL of it was great! The kid taking orders at the window was friendly and helpful. The food was really good (I like a good dog... and these were good dogs). Found parking right there. Right across from the beach and convenient to most everything in the area. Lots of tables/seating. Wife got a burger and really enjoyed it. Considering the location and convenience, the prices were pretty good. If we're ever back in the area, we'll be back.

Pretty great quick lunch. The A 100.00 sanitation rating is astounding. The hot dogs were delicious as were the fries. The kids devoured their food and everyone was happy.
The seating is colorful and fun which was also appreciated by the kids.
The only real downside is the parking situation which is tight. We ended up just using the pay lot and wandering around town on foot.

We could not wait to try hotdogs. Did not disappoint, very friendly, and very fast. Jumbo dogs a 1/4 pound. The other hot dogs are the carolina dogs.

We really enjoyed our meal here! All seating is at painted picnic tables...which we really enjoyed. We got a Classic Carolina burger, a Surfer dog, nachos and cheese, and mac and cheese. The burger had some really good slaw and chili on it. My husband said that the hot dog was the best he has ever had...so it's safe to say we will be back again!

Super convenient little hot dog & burger place right off the beach! It's not gourmet food, but it's fast & hit the spot! The Carolina classic burger & surfer dog were great!
1st time here and we weren't disappointed! Ordered a Carolina Dog and it was great. My husband had a Main Street Dog and said that it was very filling and hit the spot. Carol, the manager, came out and spoke with us for a bit which made for outstanding service. Will definitely come back again in the future.

Great little spot for a quick bite to eat after a long day on the beach, especially after smelling the food from the beach! We ate here twice during our week long vacation and will be back next year! Loved the strawberry banana milkshake!

Best place, hands down for a darn good Hot Dog!
Bun is always perfectly steamed, dogs are 100% beef, and toppings are always on point!
Whenever we are in the area, guaranteed we are stopping by for a quick and delicious bite.
We visited this hotdog shack while we were on vacation this past week. They had great reviews and advertisements that they had great food. We did have a large order because we were ordering for 7 people together. We ordered three Carolina Dogs, a plain hotdog, three cheese burgers, a chicken sandwich, chicken nuggets and 6 orders of fries. The hotdog price was reasonable, and I personally thought the other prices were a little high when we ordered but I figured if the food was as good as it was advertised then it would be worth it. All together I think our total was close to $98.00. It didn’t take long at all for our food to come out and we got it to go because we were traveling to North Topsail to meet family members for lunch. When we arrive we opened our trays and were highly disappointed. We received 3 Carolina dogs, a plain hotdog, a chicken sandwich, nuggets, a hotdog with mustard?? (We didn’t order that) and all of our fries. We didn’t receive any of our hamburgers which means that we had people in our party who missed out on lunch and honestly it wasn’t worth the 20 minute drive back to Surf City for us to correct the missing food. Everyone who ate a hotdog did say it was very good. But all of the fries were soggy and definitely not worth the almost $4 each we paid for them. I think only 2 people in our party ate the fries. The chicken sandwich was ok but not exactly what I expected for an $8 sandwich.
Overall, to pay nearly $100 I feel like we could had gotten better food somewhere else for everyone to enjoy. But that is my personal opinion.
I definitely gave the atmosphere a 5 star because the area was super cute and kept up with. It is actually located conveniently in surf city. The staff was really nice, the dinning areas were really clean. And they had a 100% sanitation grade posted in their order window which is always a good sight to see.

Cheeseburger was good, fresh tomato was great. Fries were pretty basic. Chocolate milkshake was really good. Cool atmosphere. Bathroom would be a plus.
