Doug's Hot Dogs

What a cute little hot dog shop!!! I'm wondering why (aside from the fact that I haven't, until recently, been eating meat) I don't stop here more often...It's a small shop, at best, with maybe three or four tables and a few seats at the grill. Today it's half full, so I slid right into a stool in front of the grill. And since I'm such a fan a sauerkraut, I ordered the Suicide Dog with sauerkraut.This!!! Is definitely NOT a good spot for a date, not even a blind one where you don't want to be on the date but you have to. The hot dog I got was oozing with messy, delicious goodness!!! Omg I'm pretty sure I'm wearing cheese on my nose. No matter, at less than $4 a hot dog, it was worth it!!!

My husband wanted hot dogs while we were visiting the Tidewater area so we searched and found Doug's Hot Doug's in Ocean View and what a treat it was! It's a small place with a very steady business and excellent service. We each had beef hot dogs and snap dogs which were amazing. Plain, chili dogs, Chicago dogs... you can have your hot dogs anyway you like! It satisfied his craving and made me happy as well!

You will not find a darn thing fancy about this hot dog dive in Ocean View, however it's been a locals favorite for decades. The location is one block off highway 60 aka as Shore Drive. You will find them beside the McDonald's. It's a bit difficult to see on the main road. There are only a few spaces in front and more off the curb. Be cautious of maneuvering in their lot it's tight. The exterior appeared freshly painted and no debris in sight. Doug's does more than hot dogs offering soups as well. For a first visit I had to order their Hormel hot dog. Matter of fact got two almost all the way, but held the onions. The young female staffer was kind and helpful. No sign of Doug anywhere. I'm guessing Doug has long passed, but his name lives on. In no time two dogs with a fountain drink was in front of me for $5.62 with tax. A tip jar is beside the register. They are open for in dining and offer curbside too! The four table and bar area was clean and dated in a good way. Checkered board tile on the floor was cool. The dogs were alright with definite snap. The buns although warmed seemed stale in my opinion. I always recommend local and would like to come back. However no rush. 3.5 rounding down.

I love this place. Period. If you want some good comfort food, just go here. Who hasn't eaten a ton of hot dogs in there life? With this hot dog eating experience, I think the majority of foodies are hot dog experts. I certainly am. They just have really good hot dogs here that I typically order in a three or four pack set. With a variety of options on the menu, I stick to two: the chili cheese dog and the Chicago dog. The chili cheese dog tastes the way it should for me, which is yummy. The Chicago dog is pretty much the same dog I would eat in Chicago do again, yummy. Add a few more of these dogs and my yummy meter is where it should be. The Ladies who work here are as nice as can be. Prices can't get much cheaper and the food is ready to go pretty quick. What's not to love?Well done.

Today we stopped in spur of the moment. Over all I wasn't satisfied. The hot dog was okay at best. The grilled cheese however was not good at all. This is a place that if your passing by and need food and in a rush then stop in.. but not a place to go out of the way.

Quaint and out of the way. It's close to where I work so I like to pop in for an all the way hot dog. Stop by when you're in the area.

Always a good day when I can stop by Doug's Simple Fresh FastMy favorite hot dog spot ..Chili is amazing!A staple in OV!Never ever disappointed!

Hours said they were open till 5pm. I was there at 2:40 on Saturday the door was locked and they were closed. No notice anywhere

for the price I was expecting fantastic hot dogs. over $30 for 6 dogs with chili and 2 dogs with slaw. thats about $4 per hot dog! the bun was good, soft and lightly toasted. the dog had good snap but was extremely dry, not juicy at all and the flavor was lacking due to no juice left inside. the chili was super small portions and very dry and bland to the point of being tasteless, needs salt and a dash of oil or something. the coleslaw was not rich and creamy but more like a dry mix. honestly I make better dogs at home with off the shelf products. don't waste your money on this tourist trap. Average dogs at best.

Great, simple dogs. Very fast service. Perfect place near the beach for a quick lunch
