"Stopped here with my Dad and we were delighted to have a quick lunch at this colorful shack. I heard it was recently repainted and it does stand out for sure. We both got carolina foot longs as the receipt said, but you do have an option to get a foot long or just a standard size. 2 foot longs for about $12.00 was very worth it. The hot dog isn't just a normal hot dog, it has flavor, spice and they're all beef (sausage optional). I got mine with cheese and I was happy to find it wasn't just slapped with American. A nice heap of sticky melty cheese over mine was a great topping. A couple tables outside to sit and you just order through the door. The cooks also make the orders, but the wait wasn't long. If you're in the area I'd say it's worth a 20 mile trip. Downtown Dog House is a great stop!"

He really loves his business. The food is really good, definitely one of the best hotdogs I've ever had! The prices were good. I'll definately be back for more!"

"Walk-up style spot, yes, across from another go-to coffee spot, with a few picnic style tables. First, and not last visit. I finally stopped during business hours and ordered a Carolina style, foot-long. It was just about too much for one sitting, almost. Good, dense, and they don't skimp on the ingredients. The cole slaw stole the show. For safety and cleanliness reasons, don't try driving whilst eating this sucker unless you're a passenger. The frozen, dipped cheesecake bites sounded delicious, but I just couldn't do it - this time..."

"Great variety of different hot dogs. Very quick service and very friendly. I tried 3 different hotdogs that were all very different and the ingredients on each were super flavorful and fresh. There are a lot of good little restaurants in downtown Reidsville however if you are looking for the best hot dogs this place has them."
