Hot Dog Heaven

I saw this place on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FHollyEats.com&s=a4fea8c73ff5da4db84cc712e82f164c5a545ac43883913ab29ab9e3d37d705a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://HollyEats.com</a> and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed.

Never had a Vienna hotdog. I got the Chicago one and my mom got one with sauerkraut. It was good. I should have gotten more than one or tried other toppings. My mom initially wasn't in the mood for hotdogs but she liked it.

The staff was very friendly. My mom asked if they have coffee but they didn't. So she asked for hot water and they gave her  cup as she brought a tea package with her. Also one of the staff went outside to help another couple that was there take a pic with the Hotdog heaven sign on the side of the driveway.

Will check this place out again when I'm down in the Fort Lauderdale area.

The only negative I can say is they close early as the signed says 4:30 p.m.

It's not easy to find a great hot dog. We had been searching for a long time to find something close to the Chicago dogs we used to get in CO.  Hot Dog Heaven is close.  The hot dog was beefy and juicy and flavorful.  The veggies were fresh, but not as plentiful as we had had in the past.  I tried the chili dog and was somewhat disappointed with the chili, which could have come from a can.  Of course, I'm really picky about chili, with just the right balance of sweetness and spiciness.  We'll go back and maybe I'll try something i haven't had before.

As a 42 year old born & raised South Florida local....who has great memories of going here w/ my dad from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1980....this is truly the best Hot Dog place in South Florida...and I LOVE hot dogs.  I remember when the owner's wife or mom made brownies there.  

As a child....it was chili chz dogs every time.  But as I matured, my palate blossomed & I watched in awe how they compiled (dragged through the garden) this gorgeous vegetable covered hot dog...my temptation & the accolades of the dog overwhelmed me & I finally gave in.

WOW!!  FANTASTIC!!  What had I been missing & why did I waste all that time being dedicated to just a chili chz dog?!?  Oh the missing years that I'll never get back  ;-(

Seriously though....I do vacillate between the nostalgic chili chz dog (after mowing lawn on saturdays) w/ my dad & their kick ass Vienna Chi Town Dawg!!

Annnnnnnnnnnnd.............for those whining about "why wont the nice man behind the counter pour my ketchup for me?"..................ketchup bottles are right on the counter next to the kids menu
