AAA Diamond Inspector Notes
The simple diner atmosphere, sizzling hot dogs on the grill and a friendly staff remains unchanged at this iconic landmark in the area. Since 1958 locals, tourists and celebrities (including Nat King Cole, Miles Davis and President Obama) have been coming here to enjoy a chili half-smoke. The chili dog is king, though such healthy choices as veggie, turkey and beef burgers are available.
