A Visit to Hillbilly Hotdogs!

I had to run an errand today to the Huntington, WV Mall. It was crowded, but not as much as I expected. I left the Mall hungry and realized I was in the mood for a hot dog. Hillbilly Hotdogs is just up the road at Lesage. Perfect!

Hillbilly Hotdogs has for years been a popular stop for hungry travelers as they journey along Route 2 between Pt. Pleasant and Huntington WV. However, its popularity really took off when the establishment was featured on The Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. 

Upon arrival it took me a couple of minutes to find the entrance. The “Open” sign was brightly lit, but the door wouldn’t open. I soon realized the doorknob and hinges were on the same side. No doubt constructed by the Monroe Brothers, Alf and Ralph. You’ll remember them from “Green Acres.” The handle on the other side worked well.

The atmosphere can’t be beat. Customer signatures were covering the walls, tables, chairs, and everything else. The extension on the dining room was entered through the emergency exit of an old church bus. There was plenty of seating. An 8-track player was there as well as an enormous collection of 8-track tapes to play. Surprisingly, there wasn’t a Bieber or a Swift tape to be found! 

The picture above was taken a couple of years ago before the place was fully decorated!

I ordered a “Hillbilly Dog” and an “Out Wayne Dog” with a small order of onion rings. The young lady who took my order and prepared my food was friendly, and did a great job deep-frying and dressing up my dinner dogs. Everything was great. This wasn’t my first visit, and definitely won’t be my last. You can check them out at www.hillbillyhotdogs.com. You’ll find tons of information, including pictures and their menu. Stop by when you get a chance.
