High quality, tasty food, but price/portion size needs to improve.
I've been excited for this place to open for a while. I got the Ricky Henderson, the truffle fries and a beer.
The imaginative style of the specials are wonderful, it's cool to see a hot dog inspired by a Bahn Mi or a cheese steak. Wherever they source their bread from is exquisite, the bacon on the chorizo sausage was nice and crispy, the toppings gave it a little bit of a kick and made every bite wonderful. Their fries are nice and crispy, the flavor of their truffle fries is on point and their staff is incredibly friendly and the guys working in the kitchen seemed engaged.
In terms of areas of improvement: finer grating on their parmesan cheese for their truffle fries, the size that it was compared to the fries caused it to just slide off most of the time, if it was closer to parmesan powder it would likely work much better.
I think the prices might need to come down for some of the Specialty dogs, the portions for their fries need to go up or there needs to be some sort of combo option, it was a little disappointing that I was still hungry after spending $20 on dinner.
The food came out a little slow, and the process to assemble/cook the dogs seemed a bit involved. I hope those are just caused by kinks that'll be worked out during their soft opening. I do hope that they will eventually be able to make a lot of different dogs quickly as I can easily see this place being a perfect late night quick grub spot on Webster.
Overall, would recommend trying and I hope to be able to update my review to a 5 next time I try it, because it has some great potential.
