    The absolute BEST hot dogs I've had in a very long time!! The ingredients are top quality and prepared just right. (thanks Ken!) Place is spotlessly clean. Tons of selections so you'll definitely find your favorites...and maybe a new favorite too! The owners Nancy & Ken, are part of the charm of this local gem and will treat you like family. Nancy is the type of person who makes you feel welcomed and can talk to anyone. Love her! Was in town for a business meeting but this will DEFINITELY be my "go to place" when I'm in the area. It's a "must try" spot for sure!

    Ok y’all- you’ve seen my previous reviews- so I gotta tell ya what we found on our way back from Fayetteville. This place is Hot Dawg HQ indeed! The owner is super nice, even offered us a dawg on the house- a β€œMaul Woweee”. Absolutely amazing. We will be back!

    This is a little hidden gem in Lillington. We walked in and got greeted by everyone. It was our first time there. We waited until it was our time and placed our order. I got 2 beef hot.dogs with chili and cheese and my husband got 2 beef kraut dogs. It smelled so got in there and the owner kept us informed about how much longer until our order was ready. The inside was fun. Everything was clean and nice. It was fun looking at all of the people you may know eating hot dogs. We got our hot dogs and took them home and when I opened up the box man oh man did they look good. They were done perfect. No overflow with the chili going every where. The had aluminium sheets around them and they were sooooo good. The chili was the best I ever had and the cheese was melted perfectly Buns were nice and soft, the insides were toasted.. My husband, who is very picky, LOVED his kraut dogs but to be honest I didn't pay him much mind I was too busy eating some of the best hot dogs I have ever eaten. So happy they are local and not far from our house. We had been trying to catch this place open, it was worth the wait. They have 2 new followers and they will be seeing us ALOT!!

    On a lengthy road trip , leaving Lillington I wanted a change of pace from Southern Fried Chicken and stopped in at the hot dog HQ.. the gentleman went above and beyond. I had the Vegas and a chili dog with the works, chips n a soda... the owner is very down to earth . He has a passion for what he does and it comes out in the food. I told him about where I was at in life and he, actually listened. He told me about some similar circumstances he once had... and how he returned to Lillington to open up his hot dog place. When it came time to pay the bill I walked up to the counter with my wallet...and he gave me the impossible. A free meal... I didn't ask for it , and neither should you but it happened !! Not only did this gentleman give me a free meal out of the kindness of his heart, he just so happened to have a little green canister of propane. He gave that to me as well. Because he knew I was camping my way back home... I am still on the road... and no matter where I am I won't forget this experience. If I'm ever in the area again. I'm going to buy as many hot dogs as I possibly can... but you just can't replicate that experience. And these type of folks are a Dying Breed I would give this place 20 Stars if it was a possibility. I highly recommend going into this place, deliciously prepared hot dogs from a very down-to-earth deserving owner. Stop in and give it a try. You will not be disappointed!!

    OMG! This is definitely a hidden gem! I have always wanted to try the hotdogs when traveling, but it would be closed. Well, it was open and I am so glad it was. Ken was absolutely the best. I asked were there other dogs available and he said to tell him my favorite because he can make different styles. So I told him the Chicago Dog, and boy did he deliver! It was delicious. If you're on FB, the true hours will be there due to different available hours. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Don't blink, or you'll miss it! The Hotdog Headquarters would fit inside many people's living rooms, but that doesn't mean they skimp on quality or variety. Come on in and get treated to a family atmosphere, low prices, and the most innovative toppings around. You won't be sorry!

    Come here for the experience, come here for the fellowship, and come here for the absolute best hotdog that you will ever eat. Ken & Mrs. Nancy, are the best around. The place is small, which in itself makes it special, but there won’t be a frown to be seen while dining on one of their delicious dogs. Whether good ole Carolina reds, a juicy beef, or delicious sausage dogs, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks guys!
