Decided to stop and sample a Milwaukee Weiner as we passed through Sioux City. The history brought us here. My husband ordered a chili dog with cheese and a Barker – I ordered a plain dog with mustard. Excellent hot dog dinner! The buns were soft but not doughy – the chili seemed homemade and wasn’t spicy – the kraut wasn’t too soggy. The service was excellent, friendly, and fast. The dogs were served on real ceramic plates. A dog is a dog – but these are the best we’ve ever had, and it was refreshing to get the kind of service that was rare even pre-covid.

Read moreMy 10 year old found this place and insisted we try it. This being our first time, we walked in and were greeted by 4 gentlemen who were very helpful and friendly! Everything is a la cart style. The menu is posted on the board behind the counter with employees there ready to serve you quickly and efficiently! We loved the chili dogs, mustard, onions and chili on the hot dogs was so good!! Booth seating is avaliable inside with tables outside and even a walk up window!! So cute I thought! Very clean, comfortable with very respectful, polite and inviting staff there to help with whatever you need!! We will be coming back here again for sure! Our family of 6 all got at least 2 dogs per person, drinks and chips and it cost us under $63, for 6 people! That's a deal, and it was...
