This place only takes cash, other than that, everything points to the best place around to get dogs! They do a meat topping I love! Also a special sauce that is perfect, I dont k ow how else to describe it! But for me, I do 2 or 3 dogs with meat and special sauce only. Then 1 MAYBE 2 chilli, cheese, and slaw only. She always gets the cheese dipping sauce and fries. I've spent 50 on just me and the misses at the hotdog stand!!!! Oh they are proud of them dogs, they ain't no way around the prices, they are a tad high.

I was told this place was legendary and the chili dog was good, fries were excellent but the service was amazing. You felt like a member of the family grabbing a bite to eat. Easily a weekly stop for me!

I first want to say . Gus Hot dogs made me feel so special. I wasn’t sure because it was a lot of white people even the other customers were great . I wish everyone in the world treated each other so nice. Stepping into the restaurant is a beautiful safe haven. Thank you guys I pray God Bless you. Now to the food . It literally taste like heaven Omg the hotdogs, hamburgers, fries , chips the tea and lemonade. I can’t wait to try other items. I felt good spending my money super fresh great quality. Do be discouraged if it’s busy it’s worth every dime.

It's a comfortable spot to go to. The owners know everyone that comes in or they get to know them. They are always up to talking to their customers and very nice. The food is really good. The menu is hot dogs and hamburgers all very good.

Best hotdogs in the south. Gus dogs have been a tradition for many years. Very limited seating inside so be prepared to wait or do like we do and take it to the parking lot and eat on your tailgate. Don’t get to stop very often but won’t pass up the opportunity when we pass.

What a great find! They were covered up so we knew there must be something to this place. And we weren’t wrong! We had a chill cheese dog, a slaw dog, and a special dog. All of them were really good, but the slaw dog was absolutely the best. Parking and seating is limited, and be prepared to pay with cash, but I highly recommend!
