"The Red Hot Cajun dog is also delicious.
All the hot dogs here are grilled, and the service is the most relaxed yet efficient you're likely to find. The staff casually asks, "What do you want? Want cheese? What kind of chips?" They check to see if your order is on the grill and rummage under the counter for chips. Just a heads up: they tend to stock big boxes of assorted chips from Costco, so you might not find your favorite since everyone else has grabbed the good ones. But where else in San Jose can you get Ginger Ale? My friend enjoys the chili but suspects it may not be homemade.
The cheesecake dessert is locally renowned. It's good—definitely glad they're promoting the bakery—but it doesn't wow me enough to order it every time.
While waiting, you can admire the funky tile walls or enjoy the sight of the adorable college guys from SJSU who come wandering in. Alternatively, you can step outside to a nice little garden, even if it feels like you're eating on furniture made from old telephone cable reels."
