J Dawgs Review

 What started out as a little hot dog shack years ago, has turned into an indoor restaurant and a popular choice by BYU students. I know this little place is one of my all-time favorite food establishments in Provo, Utah. J Dawgs sells beef and polish dogs for steal of a deal, too. At $3 you caan score a dog loaded with all your favorite toppings includung onions, yellow peppers, sauerkraut, and their famous special sauce. The special sauce is a good enough reason to visit J Dawgs in my opinion. It's a sweet sauce that deviates from your typical mustard and ketchup toppings, yet it will have you hooked for life. The J Dawgs menu consists soley of dogs, so don't go expecting fries. Your sides that come with a meal are chips and a soda.


Beef dog with chips and a drink.
The Quickie:
Service: Incredible. I think the owner even works there sometimes.
Prices: Great. $5/ meal
Quality: Best dog you'll ever have. Hands down.
Portions: These aren't your typical hot dogs, they're huge.
Atmosphere: Very fun. Indoor seating now. They have a wall of autographs by successful BYU athletes written on their hot dog wrappers. :)

Goodwood

The first thing I have to say is--I can't believe I lived 25 years of my life before ever going to this restaurant! It's SOOO GOOD! I just loved the food here, it was so good and the portions were HUGE. My husband and I ordered an appetizer--a bitter-sweet idea. We chose a large plate of the Potato Skins. They were the best potato skins I've ever had--the sweet part. But I was left with no room for my meal--the bitter part. Next time we'll for sure get the potato skins, but we'll order a small plate of them, and then just split an entree. Ok, on to the entrees. I ordered the Honey Stung Chicken Sandwich. Definitely a good idea, I would order that again (and I'm one for trying new things)! It was a fried chicken sandwich with this warm spicy honey glaze that was to die for. The inside of the bun was also lathered in it's own herbed mayonnaise that I thought complimented the chicken's glaze quite well. My husband ordered the Texas Hill Country Beef Brisket--I'm not usually a fan of the hunk of meat without breading or a bun, but this meat must have slow cooked for two days! It was the most tender meat... also a great choice.

Next time: I kept seeing the waitresses walking by with these Onion Rings that looked like they were made with mutant monster onion genes--- definately made in-house. I will be trying those next time.

The Quickie:
Service: Impressive.
Prices: Cheaper than I expected.
Quality: Way high!
Portions: Monstrous.
Atmostphere: Comfortable with low-lighting.
