Family tradition started downtown now we go to this one..best dogs in the valley
Consistently top notch dog. Been going 20 years and it’s some of the best comfort food in town. Staff is grumpy but that’s part of it.
One of my favorites but no free refills on drinks is ridiculous.
The best hot dogs in town. Fries are always crisp and hot. Always clean and good service.
Fast and super friendly service! Fries were crunchy, hot, and fresh, and the hot dog with chili, onions, and mustard was delicious. Great prices as well. Thanks for my first visit experience. I'll be back!
Best hotdog experience since I was a little Kid, Guarantee you won't just eat one and you will definately be back.
Roanoke Weiner Stand No. 2 serves up simple, classic comfort food like hot dogs and fries, all made to order and served up quickly. The no-frills space isn’t fancy, but the flavors and value make it worth a visit. A classic, Roanoke lunch spot!
Vintage dive hotdog joint locals hotspot that rivals Ben’s Chili bowl in DC. Everything was great, fresh and the jalapenos were spicy! Additional points for exceptional French fries that were served piping hot.
