Just what you would expect, an amazing hot dog and pretzel shop! Reasonable prices, good hot dogs with all the fixings. Friendly fast service, you need to check this place out!

First time here. I love trying new hot dog places as it brings back cherished memories of time spent with my dad. Service is quick and accurate, I had the #2 special, which is 2 dogs, and drink, and chips. Ordered them as "Franks favorite" (Mustard and Red Onions), and they were delicous. An ample a.ount of condiments without being overloaded. I chose the Orange aid for my drink, which is safe to order using fresh oranges. It was delicous! Definately a place I'll visit again!

Read about this place in an article from a guy that reviews Hot Dog joints from all over the country. Happens to be about 20 minutes from my office so I made the trip. I am very happy I did. Got 2 dogs All The Way and they were great!! That and a medium drink for 7.00 including tax and a .50 credit card charge. Awesome deal. Check this place out if you get the chance.

Great prices for Hot Dogs anywhere around Concord, Harrisburg, or Charlotte. 3 Dogs 'all-the-way (chili, slaw, yellow mustard, onions)' for 6. Friendly staff, clean restaurant. Typically pretty busy for lunch with a line almost out the front door, especially during the week. I've visited many times and the pretzels seem to be very popular.

Went it for the first time 30 minutes before they closed. The man who I assume was the owner was so kind and nice. The prices are amazing. Hot dog, big pretzel and a drink cheaper than any fast food place. The hot dog tasted amazing. The bun was fresh and so was the sauerkraut. The pretzel is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. Fresh and sweet without being too much sweetness. Will be back again and again.

Cute spot! I was just strolling through and got hungry so I stopped. The pretzels are so good! Better than Aunti Anne’s. The customer service was great and the food prep was reasonable.

I walked in at 2:52pm, 8 minutes before closing. Ordered 13 hot dogs, 3 pretzels, 6 drinks, and chips. It had been a while since I had Not Just Franks BUT everything was just as great as the first time! I mean as good as it was when they were located inside Carolina Mall. This is one of the few places that masters consistency. When it comes to the chili and slaw, you can taste that they are making this in-house and not just opening a package or can. The Sweet Carolina reminds me of those good old “church hot dogs” that we used to buy after service growing up. I couldn’t wait to get home and dig in. The young lady that took my order was kind enough to help me carry my food to the car. It was a big order. The owner working humbly in the back with his head down, fast pace, and gentle smile. I always look for him as my sign that it’s still the same goodness...still the same quality...still the same attention to detail whether it’s related to the dogs or the pretzels. So affordable, so fast, and so delicious! I will continue my rush to get here before 3pm when I’m in the mood for a great hot dog (Sweet Carolina and a Deputy Dog...yum)...and a soft, warm pretzel if I’m not too full!
