Devine Cinnamon Roll Deli, 2617 Devine St. | Where else will you get a giant hot dog that will fill you up with a renowned cinnamon roll on the side?
Pro tip: The Devine Street restaurant is working on renovations, but it’s still open and takes online orders.
Drake’s Duck-In, 1544 Main St. | Fried chicken isn’t all the downtown staple serves — grab a hot dog, ask for it to be all the way, and drink a pink lemonade on the side.
Jimmy’s Mart, 9900 Two Notch Rd. | Located in an Exxon gas station, this spot is regarded as one of the best places to grab a hot dog in the Midlands.
Pro tip: Jimmy’s is also known for selling winning lottery tickets, so if you’re feeling lucky, grab one on the way out.
Mack’s Cash Grocery, 1809 Laurel St. | It’s hard not to order the cheeseburger, but the downtown eatery that’s only open for breakfast + lunch serves a great hot dog. Pro tip: Look like a local and enter through the back door where the line starts. The Other Store, 4130 Bethel Church Rd. | A basic hot dog made behind the convenience store counter is a perfect afternoon snack in our book.
Pro tip: Separate from the restaurant in the back, this basic hot dog will hit the spot. Rosewood Dairy Bar, 3003 Rosewood Dr. | The classic walk-up spot on Rosewood serves delicious classic dogs. Editor’s pick: If a slaw dog is your thing, this is the perfect spot to snag it.
Rush’s, Various locations | Rush’s is the answer when you’re craving a hot dog, but don’t want to get out of the car.
Zesto West Columbia, 504 12th St. | Locals know Zesto is the place to go for a great hot dog and a dipped cone for dessert. Pro tip: Hold your hot dog high, take a picture with the cone in the sky and tag #Colatoday. |
