Jack's Cosmic Dog......Out of this World!

Today, after two suggestions from each blogger and a drawing out of the hat we landed on Jack's Cosmic Dog (one of my suggestions) for our lunch destination. Right off the bat two of the blog members were not looking forward to our choice in eatery. One was even quoted as saying "I hope they are closed! I will do a back flip off of this truck if they are closed!!" So Jack's, this is what you were up against prior to us even walking in the door today.

Upon arrival I noted a full parking lot with a lot of out of state license plates. Jay and I walked into a busy Jack's and decided to grab a table and wait for Ish and RJ. While sitting there, we were able to take in all of the quirky, cool decorations and had the time to glance at the very extensive choices of hot dogs and toppings.

I went with the Orbit City Dog (dog, chili, cheese, onions, and spicy mustard) a small side of fries and a water. My total came out to around $6. I was very surprised at the size of the dog and portion of fries. I certainly feel that I got my money's worth! I grabbed my food and found a shaker that looked like seasoning salt and threw some on my fries. Ish informed me that this was seasoning salt made "in-house". Man, that stuff was good! We won't disclose what the secret ingredients were, but I recommend you try it.

Time: Not bad at all for as crowded as it was! Maybe 5-8 mins wait for food.
Price: Very reasonable for the amount of food.
Experience: Great experience. Much better than expected for my fellow blog members.
Atmosphere: Very entertaining, I especially enjoyed the old washing machine, coke ice chest, and cigarette machine. They even have draught root beer on tap! No tv's but none needed with all of the other interesting things hanging on the walls.
Facilities: Very clean bathroom and very private.
Highs: The seasoning salt for the fries!
Lows: A lot of places make this mistake, a pickle spear was places in the tray and then my hot dog was places on top. This made my first few bites taste like pickle, no thanks!
Advice: Plan on stopping by one day for a nice little lunch. Plan on avoiding the lunch rush! It qualifies as a "good ride"!

Thanks for stopping by!
