The Hot Dog Cafe: Your Go-To Spot for Delicious Hot Dogs and Burgers in Lyman, SC

Lived in the area for 6 years and never knew this was more than a hot dog eatery. I ordered a Grilled Chicken and French Fries. The chicken was excellent and the fries are REAL. Not frozen. Great food. I will be returning often.

Down home, rustic, but solid food. Never would have stopped if it weren't for the reviews, but glad to have supported the joint. Good burgers and slaw, worth the stop.

Hey Guy’s. We went to the Hot Dog Cafe in Wellford SC today and it was great. We’ve been hearing about this spot for a while so since it was such a beautiful day we decided to give it a try. Boy I’m glad we did! The hot dogs were great with a wiener that was bigger than a pencil and the chilli was tasty and made with real beef. The cheeseburgers were big and juicy and made with real beef also. Jalayla really liked her Dump Dog that came fully loaded. Lauryn enjoyed her corn dogs and she said that they weren’t greasy. The cafe is bigger inside than it looks from the outside. It’s quite spacious and neat and clean. Service was nice and friendly and the prices were very reasonable. So all in all you get your moneys worth and the food is good here

If you're looking for a great place with great atmosphere great service and friendly staff this is the spot. I had heard about this spot from a couple of people and was in the area so I stopped by at lunch today as I drove up I thought oh no it's going to be a long wait. I've included pictures that shows all the cars. There was no parking anywhere, not because they don't have a lot of parking spaces but because there was so many cars there and the place was packed out, all the tables were filled when I got inside and there was a queue of about 6 people waiting to order, but even with all of that my total time in the store was only about 15 minutes from the time I walked through the door and including my wait time. Great little spot with great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

One of the stars on the Upstate Hot Dog Tour, this eatery is housed in a former service station and serves superior chili dogs.

Understand, this is burgers and hot dogs …. Not steak or what have you. For dogs and burgers, good place. Hot dogs and chili are legendary and awesome. Burger is just ok… is clearly a frozen patty and not fresh unfrozen. Service is super fast and great Atmosphere- it’s a hot dog place! Definitely recommend and I’ll definitely keep going but instead of a burger and dog, might just go for 3 dogs going forward. Fries and tea are good too!

The service here is great.The food is prepared quickly. The only thing that I have a problem with is a couple of times i've been in there and ordered food to go The order wasn't right. One time Several hot dogs were left out. Another timeThe toppings weren't correct like the condiments, but it's no big deal.Not trying to pick at them because this is a great restaurant.Currently my favorite place to eat! They're friendly.Their service is great. The food is great. I absolutely love the hotdogs they make. The cost isnt too bad either its not expensive to eat here at all.

I absolutely LOVE the hot dog cafe! Delicious food for a great price! My kids love to come here! They love the bird dogs and the fried bologna sandwich is fire. The dump dogs are allowed Delicious. Its one of our favorite family spots.
