Old thread, but since the OP is still a major contributor to this community, I'll play:
Blinko's on Glenwood has good dogs including the white Coney's.
My fav's in town are probably those found in front of several Lowe's Hardware.
Roasty Grill (Hot Weiners) gets my vote for the ambiance, but I really don't think their dogs are that great, but alas, it's still worth it for the experience.
I thought it was pretty cool when Harris Teeter started carrying Zweiglers. They are another great alternative, yet very unique. Their natural casing dogs are great.
And of course, what good hot-dog thread is complete without totally disregarding the OP's subject and throwing a vote in for some good authentic taco's at Poncho Villa's in Cary at Chatham Square... :-)
Zweigles skinless redhots, toasted bun and catsup, off my grill.
Serve with Mac and Cheese.
Weirdest hotdog I ever had was in Amsterdam. They put the oddest seasonings in their meat and catsup, I was looking for a taste of home and well swing and a miss there.

why skinless? then you don't get that nice crunch!
The Sandwich King has reopened in Durham, near the old Ballpark, corner of Geer & Foster Streets. Great hot dogs and all other stuff too. Dropped by yesterday for a dog. New owner has made every effort to keep food the way the original owners did. He made 1 great addition, he serves brats. I never ate them til a trip to Chicago, where they were served everywhere. He's from northern Indiana, he said. Same region. Could it get any better, good hot dogs as we've know all our lives and now great brats too. BTW, the dog itself isn't as important as the chili, mustard and slaw. If those are good, the dog is good.
Paschal's in Durham has great dogs with great toppings. Holloway Street. Green's Grill in Durham closed a few years ago. They were great. Bossman's on Miami Blvd had great hot dogs. They are now a Mexican place. A place on Angier Ave, in an old gas station bldg had great dogs. I think they are closed now. Never knew the name, wasn't posted outside. The cafe at the Brookwood Inn, near Duke North has great dogs, but expensive. Over $9 for 2 hot dogs, fries and drink, last time I went there.
Is Newton's Grill in downtown Raleigh still around? I don't get to Raleigh much these days. They were somewhere near the Legislative buildings. Seems I remember great hot dogs and burgers there.
Tried Shorty's in Wake Forest once and just about gagged. There are people who love it, most of whom seem to be hung up on the place for nostalgic reasons. To me, the place looked really run down, and the dogs sucked. Just one person's opinion, of course.

Nope....Newton's is long gone...demolished. They did indeed have a good hot dog....great sandwiches too.

Sorry to hear this. Newton's was a great place.
