A hot dog joint review!? Did you even know that there is a website and accompanying blog that reviews hot dog joints all over West Virginia? It's been written about in the Gazette, Daily Mail and on GazzBlogs. And did you know also that the Sam's on Hale Street is now run by the same folks who own the South Charleston location? And did you know that the Patrick Street Sam's has closed? You would know all of this if you read the West Virginia Hot Dog Blog! http://wvhotdogblog.blogspot.com WVHotDogs.com Oh Wow!

Did you even know that there is a website and accompanying blog that reviews hot dog joints all over West Virginia? It’s been written about in the Gazette, Daily Mail and on GazzBlogs.

And did you know also that the Sam’s on Hale Street is now run by the same folks who own the South Charleston location?

And did you know that the Patrick Street Sam’s has closed?

You would know all of this if you read the West Virginia Hot Dog Blog!

I quit going there quite a while back. It changed hands a little over a year ago, and the service went down hill fast. They're also pretty skimpy when it comes to rationing out chilli for their hotdogs. I actually had them interrupt taking my order (as a walk-in, over-the-counter customer) to take a phone order, then take care of the drive-thru window, before coming back to finish taking my order. It only happened once, though--I never went back. Those folks just don't have a clue as to how to run a restaurant or treat their customers. The Sam’s at Patric St. has terrible service.

A review of a hot dog joint! Perfect. I've been eating at the downtown Sam's for years. Love that place. The women there are so efficient and nice, and their hot sauce is the best. I don't much care for the one over by Big Lots at Patrick Street. They need to learn how to do things faster and more efficiently, and they really need to change the grease or vent that place out better because just a couple minutes in there and the smell sticks to you all day. The food is good, but not worth the hassle. I'm glad you mentioned the South Charleston location. Didn't even realize it was there! I love it! A review of a hot dog joint! Perfect.

Being from Raleigh County where there were no Sam's Hotdog Stands until recently, I just didn't get it. However, being the supportive girlfriend (now his wife) that I was, he convinced me to try them one day and to my surprise, I really enjoyed them. Now that there are 2 Sam's Hotdog Stands in Beckley, I occassionally run out for lunch to my local Little General Store to pick up a few english dogs with spicy chili. Even though I get funny looks from my coworkers about lunching from the local gas station, I have to agree with Mike they they are the best around.

I have to agree with Mike. This Sam's Hot Dog location is the best in the valley; better than any other Sam's locations as well as other hot dog proprieters. Their spicy chili is also my favorite and when they see me coming in they know I'll be getting a cup of chocolate yogurt to go for my dessert! Good review. I have to agree with Mike.
