Zacky's Hot Dogs & Smokehouse BBQ

I had seen something in a Yelp email newsletter about Zacky's and went to their site to check it out.  I saw they had a veggie burger so I sent a message through the site saying it would be really awesome if they offered vegetarian hot dogs.  They replied within a day saying they do have vegetarian hot dogs!!!  My husband and I went up last Saturday and the staff is as friendly as all the other reviews mention.
The place is a little small, and if we had arrived 20 minutes later we would be waiting for a table.  As we were getting up to leave our table was swooped down upon instantly.  
The prices are a bit high, we each had one hot dog, shared fries and a drink and it was over $10.  The veggie hot dogs they use aren't like any I had before.  They are pink like beets and the texture/taste was so similar to what I remember of a meat dog that we panicked until it was confirmed.  
My hubby got the Chicago dog and I had a Z dog (Pick 3) with lettuce, pickle and bleu cheese crumbles.  Mine wasn't thrilling, but that was my own fault.  My husband loved his! Next time we go I will get a sauce of some sort and ask for the bun to be steamed.  Maybe by then they'll offer a vegetarian Cincinnati chili too? (I can dream)

Im not sure how this place gets all the high marks! Friends of the owners? Steak & Shake has better dogs and cheaper!

OK, I'm in love. First time at Zacky's and I will definitely be back.

I was out running errands last week and decided to stop in and see what this place was all about. The lady at the counter was a breath of fresh air. So polite and friendly! I ordered a chili cheese dog with onions, a side of fries and a sweet tea. The dog was awesome. Ooey gooey cheese, delicious chili and just the perfect amount of onions. You know its good when you go through two napkins and are using a fork to scrape the bottom of your plate! The fries were hot and crisp, just the way I like them. The sweet tea could have been sweeter IMO, but it was still good.

They were quite busy when I was in there, but every employee had a smile on their face and service was fast. Only drawback was that there is not a lot of seating inside.

They have quite a few other creations on their menu that I am dying to try, so I will be back! Keep up the good work, Zacky's!
