Snoopy's Hot Dogs

Snoopy's Hot Dogs

I went with this place for two reasons: 1) It was just right around the corner from the Joel Lane House 2) The name. Snoopy is one of my favorite cartoon characters. I just adore that cute beagle.

After making a mad dash to my car at the Joel Lane House, I was soaked. I turned on my heater and followed my mapquest directions to Snoopy’s. I passed by it the first time. When I turned around I spotted it, but also noticed there wasn’t a place to park! I had to drive up and down three times before I was able to quickly snag the only open spot.

This location was once a gas station. So you have to walk up to the counter. And on a rainy, miserable day like this day, you’re in for a soaking. I pulled out my umbrella and got in the long line. Apparently even not so agreeable weather doesn’t deter Snoopy’s fan. The whole time I was here there was always a line. When the man in front of me discovered it was my first time here, he told me I absolutely had to try their veggie soup. It is reportedly legendary. Well, legendary doesn’t always mean great. But it was cold and I really needed something to warm up my stomach, so I figured why not. When I finally got to the front of the line I placed my order for my hamburger, onion rings, soup, apple pie, and Coke. Besides their soup, Snoopy’s is legendary for their hot dogs. But if that is not to your taste, they offer chicken club sandwiches, wings, burgers, and tuna salad sandwiches.

After I placed my order, it took a few minutes to prepare. Unlike the fast food chains their food is made to order. Back inside my car I couldn’t wait to dig in. It was so yummy. And that soup? Deserving of its legendary status.

They open at 10:30 everyday and are open until 4am Friday and Saturday, and midnight the rest of the week. They are cash only. There are several other Snoopy’s around town, in case this one isn’t close enough to you. They are located near the heart of downtown Raleigh as well as NC State and several other colleges. Snoopy’s fan range from suit and ties to college students, families, and everyone in between. The gentleman in front of me said even our current governor, Mike Easley, stops by quite often.

Snoopy’s is a great place to stop for a bite without having to dig to deep in your pockets. With all the fans that come here in droves to eat, maybe sometime soon they can move to a bigger establishment with a place to sit. But for now you just have to contend with lines and trying to find parking. But believe me it is well worth it.
