Mels Hot Dogs Mels Hot Dogs is a really great family owned hot dog shop. From the minute you pull in the parking lot and see the hot dog car you know that you are gonna get one great dog. The overall style of the hotdogs is chicago style with the vienna beef hotdogs and fresh baked rolls. The variety of toppings they offer is staggering and you are bound to get your hot dog just the way you like.

Dog gone it This is a popular place for tourists coming out of Busch Gardens. The food is good, but there is only so much you can charge for a hotdog - no matter how much stuff you put on it. Over $10 for a hotdog doesn't quite cut it.

Hot diggity dog These hotdogs are really something special. They serve only Vienna Beef hotdogs and you can really tell a diffrence in the taste. The choices they have for toppings on the hot dogs are really unique too. I personally like mine Chicago Style. From the moment you pull up outside and see the hot dog car you know this restaurant doesnt joke around with their hotdogs.

All things hot dog This place is coveted by old time locals as well as tourists. Its kind of interesting. Kind of diner like. But I guess I think its over rated unless you are really hot dog nut. Good for one trip, go back if you loved it.
