Have to change my review. I also agree with what Tina said. It's lost it's charm, the food is mediocre now, and it's just your average dive bar now. Like we need another. I have gone twice since it reopened as a bar. The first time they brought me the wrong food. So I had to sit there and watch my date eat while they made mine. But they left my fries there to get cold. This time I got it to go. My friend are covered in big hard burned chunks of something. They apparently got rid of there really good BLT they had before. Now it's over toasted hard regular sandwich bread with brown lettuce and tomato butts. I won't be back. This used to be one of my go to places before they shut down. It's also loud, crowded and the wait staff was standing next to me at the bar complaining about being miserable.

The Tom
Overly priced for what they are. I'd rather make the drive to Chicago for a proper Chicago dog. It's not the toppings alone that make a Chicago dog but the actual hot dog and the way its cooked. Wouldn't recommend.

We used to love this place. The remodel of Serious Dogs was a serious misstep. The once family friendly atmosphere is gone. You walk in to be met with a sterile atmosphere and a huge bar. There is no clear place to order. The waitress let us order and then told the other table about a 2 for one special we were not offered that would have saved us significantly for the same order without chips, which we told her we didn’t want (yes we still gave a 20% tip and we will speak with not returning verses arguing over a few dollars). The cozy booths are gone. There is no place to sit without being exposed to the people at the bar. This place is NO LONGER kid friendly. They used to have the best cheese curds in the world. Now they are small, chewy, and not close to the former quality. The hotdogs were still good, but we were just sad to see one of our favorite places turned into this. There is a huge room in the back that could have housed the bar and kept the special former character of this place. It’s clear the customer base they are trying to draw and it isn’t their former loyal families. My kids were crushed that their former favorite place has been reduced to this. Very disappointed after the long wait for them to reopen. We took our food and left. Don’t think we’ll be back.

The wife and I both love this place. The atmosphere is pleasant with plenty of tvs to watch sports. Great selection of hotdogs but a full menu of great options. The manager does an awesome job of keeping things running smooth, and all the servers/bartenders do a great job! One of my regular lunch stops.
