"The food was fresh and really really good! As a pregnant lady, I thought the food was phenomenal specifically the hotdog the fries, milkshakes, and lemonades were amazing as well! The kids corn dogs though.... I would sell my kidney for it the service was amazing! The workers were so kind and helpful! He helped my husband bring all the bags to the car because I was waiting with our kids in the car! The ambiance was pretty chill and lay back. Such a cozy place and fun!!"

"Onion rings were not available :( but hot dog with bacon and coleslaw is great. Unique toppings, average hot dogs. The inside is as cool as it seems !"

"The things I care about when eating out - Jack’s Cosmic Dogs nails them. The service was attentive for a pay-at-the-counter spot and the staff was genuinely friendly and kind. The blue cheese slaw was outstanding, the hot dog was fat and juicy, and the bun was sturdy yet soft. My girlfriend loved her shake, which I’m pretty sure was made with soft serve—different, but exactly up her alley. Even on a rainy day with a quiet crowd the atmosphere still had a fun, quirky charm."
