I came here for the hot dogs, I realized they offered so. much. more.

The atmosphere at the Slaw Dogs Cafe is simplistic. It basically feels like you’re eating a small, upper scale burger shack.

The Slaw Dogs Cafe is famous for their creative dogs and burgers. Their most popular dog is the “TNT Super Dog”. I ordered it. Just reading the list of ingredients in this bad boy had me drooling, so much so that I didn’t really even have to look much more at the menu before deciding.

Yeah, I know. You’re looking at the TNT Super Dog in all of its heavenly glory.

Feast your eyes on thishotdog surrounded by chili, cheese, fries, pastrami, grilled onions, and yes, fried egg. All this goodness is wrapped into a fat tortilla and cut in half for your visual and gustatory pleasure.

It tasted exactly how it looks, so you already know this baby was AMAZING. I paired it with a basket of half and half fries (regular and sweet potato) and drank a plain iced green tea on the side (need to speed up my metabolism while I’m eating this, ya know?). The price wasn’t bad, either! I only spent a little more than I realized because I got that giant basket of fries. If you get the TNT Super Dog on its own (trust me you don’t really need anything else), the price is $8.88 before taxes, but since I bought that basket of fries and the green tea the total price came out to around $17 or $18.

I know I’ll definitely be returning to this place to try everything else on the menu, considering they serve a huge variety of dishes.

And these are just a portion of the menu, they serve breakfast too.

Taste: 9/10
Timeliness: 8/10
Friendliness: 7/10
Price:$$ (Depends)
Atmosphere: 7.5/10
