One a recent trip to the Oregon coast my husband and I came across yet another unique hot dog stand. This one is located in Rockaway Beach, Oregon and is named The Original Pronto Pup. This place started over 80 years ago and actually specializes in corn dogs more than hotdogs.
We saw this place one day while driving around but hey were closed for the day. Later that night we went to a Kroger’s affiliate to do some shopping and saw someone wearing a Pronto Pup t-shirt. I asked the lady if that place was good and that we wanted to try it but they were closed for the day. She said, we like to think so as we are the owners, lol. We both chuckled and we told them we would stop by later in the week when they were open. We did stop in a few days later and they were very happy to see us again and the corn dogs were amazing.
Besides the huge corn dog on top of the building, they also have a mechanical corn dog ride kids can ride on for 50 cents. We saw a couple of kids take a ride on it, and thought it was funny. Happily they also have a patio so we were able to sit out there and enjoy our corn dogs with our fur-baby. If you are in the area, make sure to stop in and check out this unique restaurant.
I like little mom and pop places like this! Thanks for letting us know about it!
That’s almost like asking what a cheeseburger is…..
Just think of it as a sausage roll or battered sausage with a stick inserted!
Thanks for the comments everyone. Professorable, I am glad that you now know about corn dogs. Hope you can try one soon.
Not around here! I think the vast majority of people would be mystified by the term. I actually thought it was some vegan sausage … Not convinced by the idea, but I try anything once.
I probably lead a sheltered life – I had to google ‘corn dogs’ to find out what it was.
