Just finished working my booth at Copper Mill Mercantile and was wanting a good beef hotdog. Well, I found it! They serve beef hotdogs, subs, baked potatoes. We got 2 regular hot dogs, a jumbo dog and a bratwurst and they were all delicious. Fast friendly service and they have 100% food rating!!

I’ve never really gotten this excited over a hot dog before but WOW. The flavors are on point and the prices are right. There’s so much more than hot dogs to choose from and you can customize your order however you want. You will never get bored with this menu. The owner Ziggy is super friendly and has the kindest smile. Definitely will be going back again soon!

Ziggy Dogs has a lot to choose from! We had a short wait as a few people were picking up their orders. I needed the time to read the menu. We decided on Bratwurst. Delicious & still hot when we got them home. (I saw several people who couldn't wait & were eating in their cars.)

Great dogs! Flavor of the dog itself is great, but add the warm bun and the toppings — wow! One of the very best dog places we’ve been!! All with fast friendly service - each dog made to order ;-)

There was a man sitting outside the restaurant who told me upon entering, "After the first bite, your mouth will know how good the hot dog tastes." He told the truth. On our quest to find the best hot dog, Ziggy Dogs made it to our top 10 list. The coleslaw is very creamy and the chili seasoned well. I am usually not a fan of a crunch in my hot dog; but the toppings masked it well. I chuckled when I saw the piece of strawberry candy at the bottom of the bag. I wonder if it is in honor of a grandmother or an auntie. I will definitely return whenever I am in Kinston again.
