-

8-inch beef kosher dogs served in a warm, poppy-seed buns

Premium ice cream and homemade hot fudge (ignore the part on the menu that says to order it if you're not too hungry though...it's big).

-

Perfectly crisp regular and sweet potato fries We left the diner excruciatingly full, but we're already planning a trip back sometime very soon.
