Skoogies Chicago Style Deli

Classic hot dog joint. I’m a New Yorker living in Charleston, generally super judgmental about hot dogs. I ordered an all the way dog (Chicago style plus kraut) and a kraut/mustard/onions and they were both solid. Good bun to dog to toppings ratio and I ate the Chicago style second and the bun was not soggy at all. Fries were good too and a large portion. All for $15!

I can understand that this place is a local establishment and the regulars love the old time charm of it. But it was a little unorganized ordering and the guy taking our order seemed a little stressed out handwriting tickets and giving them to the kitchen. I was going to go with the Italian beef but they seemed kind of overwhelmed so I just went with a chili cheese dog and a corn dog. I was going to get just the bigger hot dog but they were out so I went with the regular. There wasn’t anything bad about it, there just wasn’t anything really great to me. I want to go back and try the Italian beef next time. I think that would be more of what I would prefer next time.

Love it! A hidden little gem in Mount Pleasant if you're a Chicago hotdog fan.

Thank goodness he didn't ask me how I wanted my Chicago dog. Normally I would skip the sauerkraut but I'm a changed man. Best dog ever. Everything was fresh, just the right amount of spice. And an amazing price too boot.

I had a craving for a hot dog and stumbled upon this small, unassuming spot. The hot dog was good, though a bit on the small side for the price, but the chili sauce was excellent. I opted for cheese and mustard on mine. However, the real highlight for me was the basket of fries with seasoned salt. I’ll definitely be returning for some chili cheese fries!
