CityWalk Expansion

[shiekra38]

I'm not a hot dog guy...but when I went to check out the HDHoF last time we were at Universal I was shocked that it was only the dog that you get for $6..Perhaps I just don't get it, but that seems to be a bit much, even for a ball park dog..

At Five Guys for instance I can get a dog for $4.91 with all the toppings I want..

If memory serves, Nathans was getting $8 or $9 for a dog and fries before Amity closed, so prices seem roughly in line with that.

The problem all over Universal is that quick-serve prices are jacked up (like any theme park), but table-service prices are quite reasonable, even by real world standards. Unless you really want a Krusty Burger or to eat in the Leaky, I see no reason not to drop a couple extra bucks for better food and atmosphere at Finns or Vivo or Hard Rock or anywhere...

I want to know what kind of person considers a hot dog just a snack? I must have a real small appetite.

I am not a big fan of hot dogs, but I do want to give this place a try. What is surprising to me, is before the place opened, but the menu sign was up, the prices listed were $3.25. Guess it was just a filler until they put the real prices in.

I think a big issue with this place is that it is basically outdoors, and I don't think there are even any roll-down plastic covers or a roof to protect from the rain, like Red Oven has. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I ate at HDHOF on Saturday and got a regular Nathan's, and it's exactly that but overpriced (that's not even including fries). If you're looking for a meal go somewhere else in Citywalk for a few dollars more.

The stadium seating is covered.

At Busch Stadium we get a bacon-wrapped hot dog topped with baked beans, pickles, fried onions, mustard, pico de gallo, and St. Louis BBQ sauce. It costs $9 with no sides. I find it goes down best with an $8.25 16 oz beer.

About the same here in Pittsburgh at PNC Park. And, we may go down to the wire again in this year's pennant race, even though we've had a ton of injuries like your Cards. Heh, it looks like we'll just miss you at Universal. We'll be there from Sept. 6th - 19th.

Hey there, Mad Dog! We will be there starting September 9th so we can actually get that Duffs beer we spoke about last year. I will get in touch with you when the trip gets nearer if you still want to meet up for a drink or two.

That looks amazing. Yankee Stadium offers nothing like that. Was just there today and it is 6 bucks for a plain hot dog. So the price ranges at Hot Dog Hall of Fame are accurate to that of a baseball stadium.

Great. We'll be at Cabana from Sat. till Thursday morning, then we're going over to Royal Pacific till the 19th. PM me before Dept. 5th & I'll give you a cell number to reach us.

I ate at HDHoF yesterday. They have 9 different types of dogs, plus a foot long, a 2 foot long, and a chicken sausage, plus fries, home made chips, beer, and soda.

I wasn't real impressed, but I am not a hot dog lover. The home made chips were wonderful, but the price of everything is high. ALL of the dogs (except for the foot longs and chicken sausage) are $6.99, which is not how I would price it. A dog with just sauerkraut (the New York, which is what I had), should not be the same price as a dog with pulled pork on top.

For a hot dog, chips (fries are the same price), and a small soda, I spent $10 with my TM discount. For a few dollars more I could have a great meal at Vivo or Antojito's. It does fill a niche, because not everyone wants sit down service, some people love hot dogs, and it is open for lunch.

We also ate at HDHoF on Saturday night, I got the chili dog. It was alright but nothing great or spectacular, but Nascar's was way better and I think about the same price with sides. Personally this isn't up in my top lists anywhere and won't go out of my way to eat there.

Cowfish is looking great. Still has a bit to go.

While I like the way Breadbox looks and the way it is set up, I finally got to eat there and I'll just say pass on it.
Now I see what everyone was talking about.

 

[kimlovesfl]

I need to give Breadbox another try, and actually eat my sandwich there while it's fresh.

Which reminds me, Thursday night I had someone ask for Cigarz and the candy store.

Was in line for the sushi place and someone was asking my boyfriend and I if we remembered a Cigarz place and he was saddened when he learned it wasn't there anymore.

I went back to Breadbox Saturday with a friend, after a movie. It was good, not great, service was pretty quick, but honestly, nothing to write home about. I would chose Breadbox over HDHoF, but that's just me.

Any updates on The Cowfish? I really want it to be open by early October so I can give it a try.
