Well, we wanted a hot dog but found nothing close. However, looking a little deeper, we found Sweet Royale. What we found was a little eclectic eatery that served a fantastic hot dog and sausage as well as some beautiful poetry. I would never have put these together but I am certainly glad someone did.Now to the food. The fries were perfect. Crispy brown yet fluffy middle. The sweet Royale dog was great. The chili has huge flavor but a bit of a kick and the spicy mustard pulled it all together. And the whole thing went into my belly. I also had the bulldog, a smoked sausage. Wow, the grilled onions and BBQ sauce pulled this one into the winners circle. During our lunch we were entertained by the owner with a poem about military service through the Marines. And it was great. All in all we really liked Sweet Royales and it far surpassed our expectations. So YES, we will go back.

Wow, just wow. This place is amazing. Great food (the Philly dog is out of this world), great atmosphere, and great people. The value for the money is there too, for $11 you get two dogs, fries, and a drink; can’t beat that anywhere. My family and I will be back for sure!

This place has the appearance of a dive bar with the taste of fine dining. Their hot dogs and fries are incredible. Came here after working at the hospital and really enjoyed it. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Oh man I’ve been missing out! This was my first time seeing Sweet Royale Hotdogs as a local restaurant option in my area so I thought I’d check it out. Did not disappoint!!! The meal value is agreeable and the quality is on point. I got the mix and match combo and tried the Sweet Royale and the Konga dogs. They came with crispy seasoned crinkle cut fries and a drink. Both were delicious choices I’d repeat and recommend to anyone.Also, the atmosphere is great with a homey yet chill vibe made for gathering with friends and sharing laughs and quality time. There’s evening activities for those interested in a local chill spot so I definitely want to come back soon and check out the entertainment!
