i have lived in poughkeepsie for most of my life and i have passed this hidden gem many times over the past couple years, but once i started checking out reviews it was a priority to see what all the commotion was about. i went with my girlfriend and a friend of mine, the owner was extremely friendly and even brought us a couple samples since it was our first time. the hot dog is so amazing you could literally eat plain slices of it and it is still near orgasmic. the selection is unique and incredibly delicious. went there yesterday and i can't wait to get out of work just so i can try some other flavors. oh yeah, and 8 bucks gets you two filling gourmet dogs, a generous portion of fries that i didn't even finish, and unlimited fountain soda. simple, very fresh, very clean, very friendly, this place is the holy grail of hot dog joints. p.s. try the deep fried pretzel pieces, get the cheese and the honey mustard.
