The Red Caboose

This place is a classic! A local staple for years, it's always bustling for a reason--great prices, quality food, and a fun, nostalgic vibe. The hot dogs are top-notch, but the real star-the fries! They're absolutely a must-order. Whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time, this spot never disappoints!

Hot dogs and fries. Fast given the number of people ahead of us. A local landmark apparently that has been here for many years

This is a IYKYK place. Bring cash!! This place is really affordable and has the best hot dogs and fries you couldn't even imagine. If you're here on a nice day, there will most definitely be a line outside! The works are quick, efficient, and clean. It's great for anyone traveling down 51 and looking for a quick & good (every time) food joint, this is your spot. They're known for cheese fries or gravy fries. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The buns melt right in your mouth. This is also great for truck drivers, as they have a huge parking lot for easy in and out access on 51. Locally owned, check them out!

Good food, fast service, good value, a great place to pick up a fast lunch. Just wish they were open longer

The long lines say it all!! Fast service, and a really good dog. And French fries are to die for.

Stopped here with a friend one day. He had been looking forward to trying this place for a long time. The door and windows were open. NOBODY was there at all. We rang their stupid bell and called in for 10 full minutes. Pathetic. So we went someplace else and will never return.

The food tastes of childhood nostalgia - the smells, the familiar crunch of gravel underfoot. This place cannot be recommended highly enough, especially for someone just passing through with a hankering for some simple, classic American eats.

Hadn't been in almost twenty years. Saw a recent review, and after a couple of private messages, I knew I had to give it another go. Hat tip to Chris B.It was exactly as I remembered it, and I was pleasantly surprised the prices were still very reasonable. A chili cheese woofer, and freshly made fries were a perfect pre-valentlines day lunch. The service was spot-on, and very fast. After I received my order, maybe 8 people came in, and by the time I was barely halfway done, everyone had been served. There's no real ambiance, it's a red caboose hot dog stand for goodness sake : )I need to get back again sooner rather than later, and I'm hoping to try the other menu items. Wish they had longer hours, but people in hell wish for ice water. Run, do not walk to the Red Caboose!!!!

Best hotdogs I have ever had!!!Absolutely delicious. Lines may be long at times but they are fast at Fast service too!!It's too bad when they close in the cold months.

Wow. Just wow. What a phenomenal roadside eatery! Staff was very quick and friendly handling our order with ease. Our food was excellent, I mean who doesn't enjoy a hot dog on the 4th of July weekend? $20 provided us with more than enough food, and then enough for leftovers! Needless to say, this mom & pop roadside stop will remain a staple in my summer activities!
