That's surprising. I assume the lunch crowd downtown would be much stronger downtown than on Woodruff. Oh well, best of luck!

Legend has it that when Bill Cosby was in a limo on the way to perform at the Peace Center, he had someone go into the Hot Dog King to get him a chili dog.

Most of the celebrity performers don't ride around in a limo and send someone else to fetch their food while on tour in Greenville. They are usually seen either shopping or dining somewhere in downtown, if not strolling in the park.

Greenville would love a place like the Hamilton Restaurant & Lounge in Carlisla, PA. Famous for their "hot-chee dogs," I prefer mine "loaded," with a side of poutine and a refreshing vanilla milk shake. Aaahhh, if only my conscience would overlook such an instantaneous guilty pleasure.

Cozy and very simple interior, great service, generations-old local diner experience.

They were expensive for what they served. How many people remember Greenville Grrrowl goalie Nick Vitucci started the business around 1999-2000. Current owners were the third owners of the business.

On a side note, there are a LOT of restaurants downtown not taking advantage of Sundays. So many places closed, yet thousands of people walking around downtown. Tons of business lost.
Same here - they were rarely open whenever we were downtown.

Great news! I'd love to see something more attractive on this corner. It's such an important section of Main St.
