Small hotdog place with quick good food for a good price. Probably the cheapest place to eat downtown, I highly recommend. This... place has very little dining in areas so i always get it to go. Read more

Hot dogs had no snap. Chili sauce (regular & spicy) we're very bland. No flavor whatsoever.

Solid and fast choice if you?re in need of some food and downtown. Probably wouldn?t go out of my way to go here, but it?s there... if you need it. Read more

Absolutley the best hot dogs around without question. They have anything and everything u could ever imagine on a hot dog. Spicy... or mild chili. I prefer spicy. It's a mest base chili with amazing taste. If your around downtown lex I implore u to try thisplace u won't regret it. Read more

On a sunny afternoon the old man and I made took an adventure over to Sam's Hot Dog Stand in downtown Lexington, KY. Sam's is a... chain throughout Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina. It has been a long time staple in Lexington, KY.Every Sam's Hot Dog Stand menu is built around the classic staples of the original restaurant. I tried two dogs, starting withthe Chili Dog, mild, and added mustard, onions and cheese. It was served on a fresh, steamed bun. The dog was boiled, which ismy favorite way to serve a dog, it had a decent snap and is all beef. The shredded cheese was just enough and the mustard was agood amount as well. The chili is old school, meat and sauce. It is slightly sweet and may have ketchup added to it. Everythingwas exactly how it should have been on a hot dog from a hot dog stand. It reminded me of hot dogs at a baseball park. My onlyreal knock is that it would level the chili dog up with melted cheese or cheese sauce. I also tried the Slaw Dog. Again, thebun was steamed perfectly, and the boiled hot dog was pretty good. The slaw was crunchy, fresh and made daily in house. It had aslight sweetness. They give you a good amount to cover the dog. I do wish the slaw was a bit wetter to soak into the bun andmake for a much nicer mouth feel and bite. Sam's offers all the classic options for a dog, mild or spicy chili as well aspremium pork sandwiches. The service is very friendly. They have limited seating.

I appreciated that they had many different kinds of hot dogs. The service was quick. However, there was a strange smell while... inside and our group found it too bad to eat inside. I tried the beef hot dog. It tasted good, but isn?t necessarily a meal Iwould go back for. Read more

A cute hole in the wall restaurant. Great prices and delicious food. They have various types of hot dogs and pulled pork... sandwiches. Will recommend for anyone who wants a quick bite to eat while exploring the city! Read more
