"Great Dogs"

Drove past the Hot Dog Guy many times over the past five days. Finally stopped. Should have stopped sooner. Outstanding dog. The flavor of the reindeer polish sausage was amazing. Loved that the bun was toasted. Mustard is all you need.

Hungry For A Dog.

Found it okay, ordered 2 hotdogs, ate dog #1 on the menu while having a stimulating conversation, then ordered the stuffed cheese dog for the road. With sauerkraut and chili available would have given 5 ☆'s

Great dogs

Same great dogs just different location. This new location lacks the atmosphere of the old one. He used to have a few guys hanging around swapping stories & playing crib, just not the same without them. .

Not only does this :Guy: serve wonderful hot dogs, his little stand has been the essence of Pahoa's "hippie/fun" vibe. There is no seating, no "server", just one totally cool guy, usually with some local friends hanging out, serving such "cusine" as All beef and...More
