We went into this place (Windy Cs) after trying another place that was very unsanitary. This place was so clean and nice- but deserted. So I was a little skeptical. After a minute, the owner came out and took our order. The food was delicious. The fries-- yum! Those thin crispy ones that are hard to find but taste the best-- this place has them. We were pleasantly surprised and the guy was really nice to us. Said thank you and everything so I was surprised to read the other reviews. We just didn't have anything bad to say. I would definitely return. Plus cleanliness is so important to me and Windy C's was immaculate. Thumbs up!
Really good hot dogs here! I was really surprised. I read some comments saying the owner wasn't amiable but I didn't have that experience. Don't let those comments deter you from trying this place out. He's been in business for decades for a reason.
