Mavericks Hot Dog Shop — Restaurant in Hubbard Township

I don’t ever write reviews. But something needs to be said about this place. First off I love stopping at this truck stop. Cheaper fuel, quaint little chrome shop, a sit down restaurant, a Pub and a little hot dog stand. I am in no way bashing the truck stop. My anger is solely towards the hot dog shop. I had just gotten $500 in fuel. I walked in to use the restroom, grab a quick bite to go and get my fuel receipt. I went to the restroom and saw the hot dog shop was still open and I noticed the Cash only sign. So I got money out of the ATM and I noticed the older employee sitting at the booth with a fella. I asked her if they were still open and she quickly said NO. Mind you this 8pm on Monday night. So I proceeded to the restroom and when I came back out I noticed she was making food and boxing it up for another customer. Ok then. I went to the convenience store to grab a couple drinks and asked the lady at the register how late the cafe was open. She said till 11 pm I think. I told her what the older lady had said and she then said well that’s not right. I said yea if it was a joke… didn’t really find it very amusing. We don’t always have time for a sit down meal. Everytime I’ve come through here it’s usually real late at night so I never had a chance to grab a bite from there. Was kinda excited to get to try it and on top of it support a small business. Guess a trucker’s money just isn’t good enough...

If I could give half stars, I would. We were the only ones in there for the first 5 minutes. Then a family came in. I noticed 2 others get take out. While the lady running the place was very friendly, she was cussing horribly. I myself couldn’t care less but there was a young child in there.

This restaurant was not the cleanest. The lady running the place was on her phone a lot. After she was done with the take out orders, I noticed that she was playing with her nose ring. I didn’t see her wash her hands.

Now for the food. I noticed that there was maybe a dozen hotdogs just chilling on the side of the grill. A bag of fries was sitting out in front of the fryer. They were no longer frozen. The chili was about room temp and the cheese was in a squeeze bottle that was sitting next to the grill. The cold unit was hanging open the whole time we were there. My soda, Dr. Pepper tasted like mildew smells.

We hardly ate anything. It was terrible. I know you get what you pay for but cleaning and safe food prep is mandatory. If the place was cleaned up and the food made fresh or in proper warmers/coolers, I would probably love this place.

In my recent experience,I would say avoid eating there or don’t. That’s...

For what it is this place is top notch. I appreciate fine dining as much as the next gourmet, but this is truck stop. I feel bad for the people who give this place terrible reviews, their lives must be rough. That explains why they get bad service, they must treat the staff like trash. Sure the underpaid ONLY lady doing EVERYTHING isn't always chipper, but if you're genuinely nice it brightens her day and the interaction is much more pleasant. If you want some good but cheap and fairly basic quick food that's infinitely better than generic chains, this is it. The Chicago dog is on point. BTW, it's so cheap that...
