"Here’s what we tried:
**Nauti Dog**: This was your typical hot dog with some toppings. The cheese and bacon were tasty, and the pretzel bun was excellent. Overall, it was decent but nothing extraordinary; if you’re just craving a good hot dog, this one would likely suffice.
**Chili Dog**: We had this without mustard since my middle son doesn't like it. Like the Nauti Dog, it was a solid hot dog. It didn’t wow us, but it was a good chili dog, and the fried onion straws added a nice touch.
**Cali Dog**: This one was quite different, and we really enjoyed it, especially my wife. The combination of cucumbers, tomatoes, and raw red onions created a lovely texture. The onions added a nice kick, balanced by the guacamole. With so much flavor from the toppings, we barely noticed the turkey dog underneath. We would definitely order this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing hot dog option—almost like a salad on a bun!
**Gouda Dog**: This was my personal favorite. The mustard, pimento cheese, and onion straws gave it a strong cheesy flavor while still maintaining the essence of a hot dog. It was heavily topped, so we even used it to dip our chips. If you’re a cheese lover, this hot dog is for you. I’d also recommend it for anyone willing to try something a little different.
**Pretzel and Beer Cheese Appetizer**: My wife really wanted this to satisfy her pretzel craving, and she was pleased. The beer cheese was standard fare, but since we ordered carryout, it was more of a thick paste than a pourable sauce. It still tasted good, though the texture was a bit off. The pretzel was decent but nothing to get too excited about.
**House-Made Chips**: Each hot dog came with a side of their house-made chips. Two of my three kids didn't enjoy them at all. To be honest, they had a slightly burnt, overly fried taste that might be an acquired taste. Personally, I thought they were fine, and they improved when dipped in the ranch dressing we got. We might opt for a different side next time.
Overall, we had a good meal that served its purpose. While we probably wouldn’t make a special trip back to Nauti Dog, if we found ourselves in the area again, we’d likely stop by to try some of their other unique hot dog offerings."
