RIP: The Dog Joint

Author: swampkitty05  //  Category: Columbus, Restaurant News

I read today in ThisWeek News that The Dog Joint in Westerville closed last month. I visited it once, last summer, and found it to be fair to middlin’. Not bad enough to slaughter them in a review, but not good enough to recommend. I had wanted to go back and give it another try before writing a review (which I like to do, if I can afford it), but it looks like I’ll never get the chance.

So this post is for people who were fans.

Their Windy City dog was pretty great….as good as many other Chicago dogs I’ve had in town.

Didn’t like the Southern Belle at all, because the cole slaw was pretty flavorless.

The Chili Cheese Fries were pretty good – between me and my dining companion, we polished them off in no time flat.

My beef with the South of the Border dog is that if I have cheese on hot dogs, I like it to be melted. Otherwise, a decent offering.

But whose bright idea was a Hawaiian dog? Absolutely disgusting.

I’m looking forward to trying the restaurant they put in its place. Did you enjoy this restaurant? Are you sad to see them go?
