Title: Susie's Dawgs and Drafts
Post by: Billy Mumphrey on March 11, 2014, 03:51:56 PM
Went there the other night. A dog is $4 and was very good. I was somewhat disappointed that it took 40 minutes for my friend and me to get our food delivered to our table on a Monday night no less.

I enjoyed my dogs and the company. ;D

$4 a dog? seems pretty steep to me. 40 minute wait? would have been seated in another restaurant by then.

The dog, itself, if just a base for the toppings, and I think it's the toppings that make the $4 justified.  But, even if it's just the base, I had a co-worker who thought the hot-dog was too big. (He thinks Suzie's will go out of business, unless they change to another greasy-spoon/typical hotdog shop.)

40 minutes is unacceptable, though.  Service was fine for me, when I went there.

I went the first weekend. It took 30 minutes before they took our order and then over 35 more minutes to get our food. They are hot dogs. They are not grilled. Boil a bunch and like an assembly line put them into the bread/bun and put the toppings on them.

I won't be going back until I hear the service improves.

Went today to try it for lunch. My wait time was short.

I have been there a few times, always out of toppings and have messed orders up for people in my party.

I don't know how I feel about the place after reading this: http://cleveland52.com/2014/03/28/suzie-we-stole-a-bar-the-happy-dog/

Did happy dogs patent thier idea and copy write their name? My opinion the article is making   mountain out of mole hill.

Wow, sounds like a lawsuit, or at least a black eye for YTown.

Sounds like capitalism to me, and the phrase "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" comes to mind.

Can't we all just get along? :)

I recently paid another visit, and service was fine, again.  They were out of chocolate ice cream, though.  So I got a strawberry/peanut butter shake.  Mmm!

I've taken my son there a few times. It is "ok", but not my first pick for a place to eat out.
My son likes the games and pinball machine though, so I guess that make it worth the $, for us.

You might be thinking of Imbibe, which really is just a martini bar; it's down the street a little, on the other side of Downtown Circle.

The "Martini" in Martini Brothers Burger Bar is just a name, they specialize in burgers. (but, like Suzie's, also serve alcohol)
