The food is always good here but recently I think it changed hands. The clam strips went from awesome down to just flowery doughy no flavor lamb strips. I think they don’t make them with the cornmeal anymore so it doesn’t give that sweetness crunch to it anymore. very disappointed hopefully they figure it out and bring it back. That was my favorite thing to get there. I can’t really judge the rest of it as I think it has a different ownership now so I’m not sure what else has changed. Service is always good though.
Stopped at Denmo’s Famous for a quick bite and it sure hit the spot. Hot dog was fresh off the grill, bun soft, and the toppings were piled on right, not stingy. Fries came out hot and crispy, and the folks at the window were friendly and fast. Good little stand to grab a simple, tasty meal when you are on the go
After seeing other reviews, we made it a point to stop here on our road trip. It did not disappoint! The crab cake sammie was so delicious, my husband devoured his hot dog and the fries were fantastic! Denmo came out and hung out at our table and he was just the friendliest, down to earth guy. We chatted about the history of the place, the area- overall a great spot for us to grab a bite, stretch your legs and enjoy good food!
This place is a local gem! The snack and dairy bar has been around forever, and the food is always consistently great. Whether it’s a quick bite or a treat on a summer day, it never disappoints. The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming—just a classic spot that never loses its charm.
Almost $40 for two hot dogs (1 plain, 1 chili cheese), two fries (1 plain, 1 sweet) a cheeseburger, a bottle of water and a small lemonade. Where to begin? I’m starting to think I have bad luck with hamburger and hot dog places because how can these places be anround for so long yet constantly get so many things wrong? Asked for my chili cheese hot dog split and extra charred, it was neither. They “melt” slices of American cheese on top of the chili, not the hot dog which I thought was weird. Asked for the plain fries to be extra crispy, they were solidly undercooked. Chili cheese dog’s bun was only toasted on one side so when they heaped so much chili and cheese on the dog, the left side of my bun basically disintegrated while I was trying to eat it. Now I know why so many people were ordering the chili in cups instead of on their dog. It’s a decent chili but super hearty so it doesn’t make for a good hot dog chili. Cheeseburger was good: char grilled, tasted exactly like if I’d made a burger on the grill at home which was exactly what I wanted. I’d go back but only if I was in the area. Unfortunately, I would not drive 40 minutes out of my way again for this. My favorite item was their spicy brown mustard.
