"A roadside hot dog shack with a long-and-storied history extending back to the 1930s — under various names — Roake’s grills a timeless, high-value hot dog menu featuring a 12-inch coney dog (served with a special coney sauce) for just $5.75, a swamped “chiliboat,” and a one-bite short hot dog for under $3. Rub elbows with regulars in the cramped-but-charming vintage interior or snag a picnic-style seat outside under permanent covering. For sausage skeptics, the classic burgers and shakes are equally beloved." - Nathan Williams
