Went in after a walk and got the Dusty dog. It is a hot dog from a local butcher with chili cheese and onions. All the dogs come with fries. Good portions. They serve Fritz Root beer and real beer. I did the Fritz also a local soda fav. Total was 15. Good times. The 2 managers on duty were super nice.
