If you are looking for a historic, no frills and affordable experience (or specifically for a hotdog) then this is your spot. Right by the park, this family-owned business just celebrated 50 years under the current family leadership who's grandfather opened the original stand in the same location in 1908, later becoming the original permanent structure that is there today. You will most definitely meet the family when you visit. They have Hotdogs (the red ones) with a variety of toppings including, chilli dogs, burgers of a few kinds with toppings and combo meals, fried chicken and fish sandwiches (quick diner kind), regular sandwiches like grilled chees, ham and cheese, etc., hand cut fries (the day I went - in pics I see the frozen kind have been used too), big onion rings (hey! you get to choose either or both), and a full breakfast menu, with daily sweets (looked like peanut butter cup cupcakes when I visited) and specials. Wednesday's is a steamed dog for $1.50 a piece, I believe. Simones' offers soups, salads and more too (I didn't try on this visit). But most come here for the breakfast and the hotdogs, and the price. Sit at the counter to watch the action, grab a table or take it to go. Drinks are grab-n-go from the cooler. This is a family-run business that is a part of the community it serves. Sign the guest book and see who else has visited.

Family-owned and operated for over 100 years. I have been coming here since I was a kid, and so did my Pèpére (grandfather). The atmosphere is reminiscent of an old French-Canadian diner. The space is a tad cramped, but that's part of the charm. Don't forget to say hi to Jimmy, Linda, and George!

Cute family owned restaurant serving breakfast till 11am and lunch till 2pm, M-F. The owners, managers, wait staff, cooks, customers...everyone was so friendly! Delicious food at really great prices! Make sure to sign their guest book, they have an ongoing one for over a decade!
