Late Night Spot with Variety
My experience was great because they are open laaate, perfect for a late-night bite after the bars close. They offer a good variety, selling beer, pizza slices, hard liquor, vapes, and cigarettes. It's impressive they're still in business despite the competition from hot dog stands around Gas Lamp, which clearly shows they are doing something right.

Nostalgic Hot Dog Experience
I haven't been to this restaurant in forever, but I remember their hot dogs were pretty good. For me, it's more of a good memory.

Scammed by inflated prices
I visited this store intending to buy just a hot dog, but the owner was overly "helpful, " pushing me to purchase additional items like a drink, gum, and cigarettes. I ended up buying a bottle of water and a pack of gum. To my shock, the total came to a staggering $21. 95. The breakdown was: Hot Dog ($7. 00 + tax = $7. 61), Gum ($8. 60 + tax = $9. 35), and Water ($4. 99, not taxed). This felt like a calculated setup, not helpful service, as there were no price tags or warnings, making it a blatant cash grab. The owner seemed to be preying on unsuspecting customers. I regret every dollar spent and will never return.

Scam over hotdogs and water!
My experience at this restaurant was a complete scam. I ordered two hotdogs and a water. The water alone cost $5, and the two hotdogs were $16. They then charged a total of $26, claiming $5 of that was "tax. " This felt like a blatant scam.

Scammed by Card Surcharge
What was your experience at the restaurant? It was a scam! The hot dog was okay, but there was a $2 surcharge when paying by credit card. The person refused to cancel and insisted I pay in cash.

Tourist Trap - Avoid This Place!
My experience at this establishment was extremely negative. The owner or person working there is a crook and definitely takes advantage of tourists. For a late-night snack for two, consisting of 7 hot dogs, two cigars, and an ice cream, the bill came to a staggering 172 dollars. To make matters worse, my friend ordered an ice cream, which was priced at 7 dollars for a single scoop. After paying the 172 dollars by card, the server took a 20 dollar bill for the ice cream but did not provide any change and initially withheld the ice cream. We had to demand the ice cream. I've never seen anyone spend 172 dollars, plus tip, plus an additional 20 dollars for ice cream at a minute mart type of deli store. This place is definitely a crook. Beware.

Terrible Pizza Scam
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. They appear to re-sell 7-Eleven pizza that is located right next door. This pizza is 3 times the price and tastes terrible because it's old and re-heated. It's sad they have to scam people instead of being an honest business 👎

Overcharged and Disappointed
I was going to 7/11 and decided to stop here to support a little business. However, this guy overcharged me, which really pissed me off.

Overpriced cigarettes, no food experience
I'm not sure how the food is, as I only went in for a pack of cigarettes. Most packs are pretty expensive downtown, usually $13 max. I charged it to my card and later looked at my receipt; they charged me $17 for a pack of Camels. That's taking advantage of the customers and kinda pissed me off.

Overpriced Hot Dogs - Avoid This Scam!
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. I was charged $30 for two hot dogs, which is absolutely ridiculous. This felt like a complete SCAM. I strongly advise everyone to DO NOT GO HERE! The food was disgusting.
