North Carolina Restaurant Named The 'Best Hot Dog Joint' In The State

Hot dogs are a classic for a reason, and for many people, they are the go-to food for summer and barbecues. They're easy to make, taste good, and are available almost anywhere. No matter if you enjoy the classic ketchup and mustard toppings or prefer it loaded up with tomatoes, chili or sauerkraut, you can customize hot dogs however you like to make your perfect bite.

Using reviews, awards and accolades, and first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "best hot dog joint" in each state, the eateries serving up everything from classic dogs and regional favorites to "crazy" options loaded with unique toppings.

According to the site, the best hot dog joint in all of North Carolina is The Roast Grill Hot Weiners , located at 7 S. West Street in Raleigh. Here's what the site had to say:

"Like your hot dogs loaded with ketchup? How about with a side of fries? Well, if that's the case, The Roast Grill isn't for you. Owner George Poniros serves one thing only: a sausage, perfectly grilled to a slight char, covered in chili or slaw (or both) and served in a bun. Don't ask for mayo, cheese, or fries, because they're not on the menu. He must be doing something right, though, because it's a top-rated joint with customers."
