Wot-a-Dog was my first job (yes as a carhop, but no, not wearing roller-skates) so it holds a dear space in my heart. Not only does it set my precedent for how root beer tastes, but also how a coney tastes. Skyline and Gold Star have nothing on Wot-a-Dog.
Sure, it's about a twenty or thirty minute drive from Dayton. But trust me, it's worth the gas (maybe in both meanings of the word––heyo!). It's a straight shot from 75. Just take 75 north to 4 north and follow it on state route 235. (You'll also pass a great nursery with the most beautiful, healthy flowers around: Meadowview.)
The food is pretty good but what really makes Wot-a-Dog special is the experience. Go on a sunny Monday night for their weekly cruise-in and see all the old classic cars as you sway to 50s music. You'll feel like you were teleported to the musical Grease.
Here are a couple different options for meals or just get all of it and have a smorgasbord with your Wot-a-Companion.
Footlong coney with cheese and onions
Onion Rings with rebel sauce
Root beer float
Bratwurst with sauerkraut and jalapenos
Curly fries
Milkshake
There's a bike trail directly behind Wot-a-Dog so you can even go for a leisurely stroll afterwards to burn some of those tasty calories. Wot-a-Dog is only open seasonally, so make sure you put a rush on it and get there before mid-September. Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
I like hotdogs.
