    What I Had
    I had a Great Dane with cheese and mild chili and a large Coke Zero.

    What I Spent
    $7.00 and change

    What I Thought
    It was a good dog - very filling. The chili is homemade and was very good. I was glad to see Coke Zero as an option.

    Would I Return?
    Absolutely. I want to try the spicy chili.

    Other Thoughts
    I liked the atmosphere. They’ve gone out of their way to make it unique. Local business cards on the counter, license plates hanging on the walls, and the Great Dane Hall of Fame add a nice personal touch.

    We love this place and its owners. They are so friendly. The burgers are as good as the dogs and the soup can’t be beat.

    What I Had
    I had the Great Dane (1/2 pound hot dog) with cheese and hot chili, fries, a hot dog custard, and regular Coke.

    What I Spent
    less than $10

    What I Thought
    The hot dog was awesome and plenty of food by itself. But, everyone was raving about the fries so I went back and ordered those and noticed the hot dog custard which was begging to be tried.

    Would I Return?
    Yes, if I am in the mood for a hot dog this will be my default hot dog “stand” from now on.

    Other Thoughts
    The staff was very friendly and even handed me a menu as I left and said that next time we come to call ahead and they will get the Great Danes cooking so we will not have to wait for them.

  4. What I Had
    Great Dane (1/2 pound hot dog) with mustard and kraut. Plus fries and a drink.

    What I Spent
    Around $6–I forget the exact amount.

    What I Thought
    Great food at a great price. Lots of options. Very friendly, personable people.

    Would I Return?
    I look forward to the opportunity.

    Other Thoughts
    Nice home-town atmosphere, great options on topping your dog, and really good value (large Coke $1.29!). While eating a half-pound hot dog should not be a regular, weekly occurrence, I definitely look forward to going there again. Also, they score points for offering Coke Zero.

    Definately would return.

    I drive by this place everyday on the way to work and honestly it is easy to miss. It is a great lunch spot in Acworth that combines good value with good food.

    What I Had

    Interesting enough, it was good but I don’t remember which hot dog it was. I know it was smaller than everyone elses.

    What I Spent

    $7 and change including my coke.

    What I Thought

    The food was pretty good. I haven’t been a big fan of hot dogs but this place changed my mind for the moment.

    Would I Return?

    Most definitely.

    Other Thoughts

    The staff appeared to be personable and calling their repeat customers by name. That says a lot.

    What I Had
    Two chili-cheese dogs, and half a Great Dane.

    What I Spent
    $8ish

    What I Thought
    Awesome! Totally can’t beat a place that knows how to do hot dogs.

    Would I Return?
    Yup

    Other Thoughts
    They have put together a pretty down home atmosphere. It’s not exactly the cleanest place in the world, but the food is great. I don’t know if they have a liquor license, but an ice cold beer would go great with those hot dogs.

    I always get a hound dog with medium spicy chili and fries.love the scuba dog, want to try the Philly cheese-steak burger. the hot dog bun custard is pretty good. i wish they served “Chicago style” dogs. Maybe they do and i just didn’t see them on the menu.I was a regular @ windy city grill until they went under.Chicago dogs are one of my guilty pleasures.
