I wish I was back in Hilo town right now to get another Top Dog! I had one with lilikoi mustard and inions and it was BOMB! Companion had a portugese sausage with chili topping another winner. Also don't miss the fries and lilikoi lemonade. Desserts look great too but I didn't try them this time. Friendly local vibes, I only eat at locally owned places if I can help it when I am on the island. Luckily many Hilo joints are. This one is a standout.
Great food and consistent. Usually get the Chicago dog and it never disappoints. Bun is soft and tasty. Wish it were a little warmer, though. Toasting it might improve it for me even more. Very little seating inside so more of a take out. Service good.
Was in the city of Hilo and had to stop by based off other reviews. I got the chili beef hotdog and added cheese and also got there fries and the house drink : strawberry lychee. Overall the food and the drink was 10/10!!! Only issue was they had one table to sit at which was taken when we ordered.
Fast food, no but delicious hot dogs , and other things. Shrimp, chicken , stews , burgers , fried rice. I haven't even tried the entire menu. I'm usually there for the sausage. Yet what I have tried has been delicious ! I'm left happy, happy , happy. Hot sausage in my mouth , delicious cold drink and a the sunset to be envious of. Great place to pick up food to go. If you haven't tried this place yet, you should !
Great food at reasonable prices! Unassuming little restaurant packed a powerful punch. Great double cheeseburger, hot dogs are on point and I LOVE their Hurricane Poke. The strawberry lychee lemonade and perfect french fries made it incredible. We will be back often.
