Cates dogs are the best dogs in town! Nothing makes me happier than an all the way Cates all beef hot dog. Thanks for feeding us and always putting a smile on my face :)

Great food and awesome service. Fries were crunchy and well seasoned and the burger was excellent for a good price. Shout-out to the ladies holding it down in there!

Omg the food and customer service was Amazing! The young ladies ib the front were beyond professional and courteous greeting us with genuinely warm welcome as soon as we came in!! They made suggestions on what we should get and how they could prepare it. Me and my boyfriend ended up getting almost everything and it was so good!!! The food was fresh and seasoned to perfection. We will definitely be back for more soon. This is our new spot :) wish I would have taken photos but the good was gone fast lol

Nothing like a city fav with quick service,great flavors and chill vibes . My first visit was impromptu after a quick thrifting session at Middle of May. I ordered the sausage dog all the way !!! with seasoned crinkle fries that were ahhhhh -mazing. The lemonade ‼️ Overall I look forward to stopping by for a quick bite when I’m in the area. Check ‘em out !

Best hot dog place in town. Me and my husband went twice today. Best hot dogs ever. The sweet tea and lemonade is good too.
