The Goodie Shack — Restaurant in Burnside

Their sign reads, “World’s Best Hot Dogs,” so of course I wanted to see for myself. I ordered a footlong with their chili, onions, mustard, ketchup and pickle; a regular hot dog with the same toppings; an order of fries and a pop. The pop was your standard fountain drink with ice. It was cold and carbonated. That hit the spot. The fries were the standard, mass-produced, come-from-a-bag, crinkle cut. Crispy outer with warm soft inside. I love fries and these were fries, so no lies there. The hot dogs: I guess if you enjoy eating off-brand, hot dogs directly out of the package, this is your world. The world where these are the best hot dogs. My guess is that they ran the dogs under some warm water for a few minutes to “cook” them up because they were barely warm and they had zero plumpness to them like you would get if they were actually boiled. They had ZERO flavor. Thank goodness for the bland chili and other toppings. The buns were soft though, so there’s that. Advertizing as a world’s best is a bold-faced lie. It’s a simple ploy to get customers to part with their money on the smallest chance the hot dogs might be something worth the advertisement. But, kudos to them because they got my money and that is the end goal, right? I literally just thought of something. Maybe the “World’s Best Hot Dogs” is not a description. Maybe “World’s Best Hot Dogs” is the name of the company that makes the hot dogs. Like “Ballpark”, “Sahlen’s” or “Nathan’s”. So if that’s the case, they would not be falsely...

I seldom leave really bad reviews, but this was the worst experience I have ever had in my entire life. First, the hotdog sauce was horrible, I'm talking inedible. Look at the picture and you can tell that the consistency was almost gel-like (like water added to grease). I took it back up front and politely said that I could not eat it and the woman, I assume owner or manager said that she didn't know what I wanted her to do about it and they'd used the same recipe since the 50s. I'd eaten there in the past and the sauce was nothing like this. I did not ask for a refund, but just a hotdog with no sauce. I was not rude, but she was very much so and made it clear that I didn't have to come back. No danger in that...the worst food and service I have ever experienced... Absolutely awful and I do...

Terrible service ran by kids more worried about taking selfies watch same girl taking selfies be absolutely rude to customer's then I asked for a refill on my tea to a different girl and she refilled it without putting any ice when I specifically asked if I could have some ice please she actually rolled her eyes came back about spilled it the way she practically slammed it down so when I finally got my sandwich and fries (40 min.)the tenderloin was not cooked through I was going to return it but after watching how rude other customers we're treated and myself over asking for ice in my drink. (On a hot day) I just threw it away because I'd had enough of the hatefullness I watched. I'll spend my money elsewhere and not risk any type of...
