I absolutely love this place. The people are awesome and the hot dogs for some reason are out of this world. Go grab a dog and a piece of hoop cheese and a beer or soda and enjoy. Or try they’re pinto beans they’re great to.

Look, this place is a no thrills hotdog joint. The hotdogs are great and the beer is cold. Immediately when you walk in, there is a wrap around bar. I ate my hotdog “all the way”, didn’t ask any questions about what was on it, just ordered it and ate it. I figured that if this place had some of Franklin countys best hotdogs might as well eat it the way that got them famous. Well, I can say it was pretty dang good. I believe it had slaw, chili, mustard, onions, and mayo (to my surprise). Great place to stop in, get out of the sun, and enjoy a hotdog.

The food is basically what you can expect from eating a hotdog, nothing spectacular about that to be honest I think the place is more of a social gathering spot that just happens to offer food. The service was great they didn’t take credit cards and a woman that works there took and covered part of my tab because I was limited on cash. The looks I received while there is what really got my attention it made me feel really unwelcome as soon as me and my brother entered the establishment. All of the talking stopped and there was nothing but staring from everyone else inside like they didn’t enjoy an African American being served the same way they were and with Franklin County being a racist place to begin with I believe it is safe to say that I am correct.

Did a to go order. Usually always good. Fair prices. Only thing is I HATE mustard. To the point it makes me sick. Ordered hotdogs with chili, ketchup, and onion. Sent my boyfriend (which is where I messed up since he doesn’t check the food) and I got chili, ketchup, and mustard! They fixed it but the drive back isn’t really worth the gas.

Summer after high school, I worked at Fleetwood (the Mobil home factory in Rocky Mount and at lunchtime the whole factory would empty out and head up Rt 40 for Bowling’s hot dogs. They were that good!

Me and my wife stopped in with our grandson. We was looking for a good hot dog and bowlings was recommended. When we walked in I noticed a few people setting at the bar having a beer and some dogs. I said right then I bet these people are regulars. We was greeted and our order was taken by an amazing lady who didn’t need to write it down. As I set and watched I was right the people at the bar all knew each other. The staff seemed to know everyone in their except us. But they treated us just like we had been long time customers. The hot dogs was great but the best part was the down home atmosphere. It left me wishing we had something like this near our neighborhood.
