If you love hot dogs, you will love Uncle Franky's! If you love sauerkraut, you will love the Wall Street Dog! If you love fries, you will love their crinkle cut fries! It's a dive, but you can eat in/eat in the parking lot, or get to go (which I never do b/c the bun gets soggy, but that's a personal pref thing!). It's a must-do for those who visit, IMHO!
