Our Food Quality
Our Manifesto
Hot Dog Shoppe was born of the fundamental belief that real food tastes great and it doesn’t have to be expensive. We believe that the freshest and simplest ingredients taste best and are best for you. We source as local as we can, as fresh as we can, and make your food to order. That there is a direct connection between how freshly prepared your food is and how it tastes. Our hot dog chili is made fresh, your French fries were real potatoes just that morning and your hot dog bun was probably baked the night before. We make real food for real people with real taste. Simple is best when it comes to food and we keep it as real and simple as we can.
Where it all
Began in 1946
Paul Trevelline came home to Warren, OH after WWII and decided to open a knickknack shop. He soon discovered that knickknacks didn’t sell so well. To save his business, Paul tried selling hot dogs and it was a hit. The Hot Dog Shoppe was born! Paul started with just hot dogs and then discovered that his hot dog chili was a huge hit as well. And because he only wanted the highest quality for his customers, he started bringing in fresh potatoes and cutting them daily into French fries. Paul’s great idea to sell a hot dog became our dream to bring a great chili hot dog at a great price to as many people as possible.

RESTAURANT OPERATIONS
We plan to add expanded online ordering for our restaurants as a convenient ordering option for our guests. You can begin to look for this option during the late Fall and Early Winter of 2021. We have not yet adapted our operations for Third-party delivery options like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GrubHub but intend to in the future. It will be a little bit but you can continue to check your favorite delivery provider to see if Hot Dog Shoppe is available in your area.
CLEANLINESS AND SANITIZATION
We have always worked to keep our restaurants clean and sanitary and we hope that you have noticed the additional cleaning we have recently been working on. In addition to our regular cleaning and sanitation standards, we have added routine cleaning of high-touch surfaces such as doors, bathrooms, and our ordering area. As needed, of course we complete additional deep cleaning in our restaurants when circumstances warrant.

Testimonial
What Customers Are Saying
This is a must try. All staff was friendly. Price of food is very reasonable. We stop here every time we visit Ohio.
The only bad thing is they don't sweet tea. The French fries are off the chain good.
TOMMY Bryant If you don't know about it already, you're missing out. This place is incredible. Eat your heart out, Cincinnati chili dog fans. Best chili dogs in the area and their shakes are top notch. All for cheap. Averaging $5 per person, this place is perfect.
Nicholas Downing It was good server was very nice and kept checking back if we needed anything. The hotdogs were hot.
Patricia Johnson Food is great as always! I'm glad we only got one serving of fries because the large is LARGE. Make sure you get them with cheese because it's the best! It's a great place for a cheap meal with family! They also have bar style seating if you don't want to wait for a table.
Rachel I love this place. I first came here as a kid, and I've always had fond memories of it. Maybe it's my love of hotdogs, or maybe it's my love of nostalgia. Either way, it's the perfect little diner grab a dog and enjoy. Usually a line, but plenty of seating available, and very affordable pricing, with quick and fast service. I love making the drive out here once in a blue moon for a treat. Well worth it.
Rachel Brady Always a good spot to stop for a quick inexpensive meal and a shake (or a quart of cherry pop)
Mike S. We order dogs with chili cheese and onions. We found out after teasing, that the chili sauce is way to spicy on the hot side. So we may not order with the chili sauce. We did like everything else order.
Hardy Jackson III My favorites all in on spot. I grew up on Ralphs Hot dog shoppe.. Everytime I go back down to warren I have to stop. I was just there Friday.. I am Glad the food tastes Exactly the same.
Jenny Brooks Love this place, always go there when I come in from Virginia. Can still feed two people for under $20 and it's great food! Love the hotdog sauce!
