Phenomenal Comfort Food - Edit
I’ve been here countless times and have pretty much had everything on the menu. This is an incredible food truck run by great people. They have a robust menu that stays constant (available to view on their website), but they also keep it fresh by rotating their daily special every week, usually either a hot dog of the week/tater tots of the week or something else unique like a BBQ rib sandwich, buffalo cauliflower wings, fried pickles, etc. The quality here is matched only by the creativity, perhaps most evident in their daily specials. I’ve had a banh mi dog, a breakfast dog, and a green chile mac and cheese dog, to name just a few. Sides and a rotating selection of desserts are also available, and include items such as chili cheese fries, coleslaw, and some of the best mac and cheese I’ve had in my life (made with shells, very cheesy, and a nice browning to it, all of which I fully appreciate). Usually, the food truck is only available Wednesdays from 11:30 to 2:00, Thursdays from 4:00 to 8:00, and Saturdays from noon to 8:00, but this can change depending on the week as they also occasionally do other events. Highly recommend arriving towards the early part of the shift to make sure nothing is sold out (because if I get there before you do, I’ll probably order their entire stock).

Best darn dog since vegan - Edit
Really like this place. We're visiting Toledo, and this is our second time here. It was on my list to revisit and still very good.

Best hot dogs and wings! - Edit
Drove an hour to Toledo to visit Frankly for their vegan hot dog menu. I'm sure they were a bit amused when I ordered one of everything on their menu to take back home 😆
Read moreIt was well worth the drive though! Best hot dogs and cauliflower wings I've ever had! Their buffalo sauce is delicious with the perfect amount of heat for a spice wimp like me. They also got tofu dippers, mac & cheese, cheesy broccoli, and cookies! Would definitely come down again 💖

I think I’m an addict. - Edit
And I refuse to get help because cheese fries!! Oh my goshhh the cheese fries. The Mac and cheese! The hot dogs! Everything here is amazing. If I could live off of their food I would but they keep moving their truck instead of parking it right outside my house.

Best vegan dog ever! - Edit
Best vegan hot dog I’ve ever had. I would eat here time and time again. The mac and cheese is also out of this world! My non-vegan friends always agree to eat here with me bc it’s just so good. Only problem is that it’s a mobile food truck, so not always in same place. Follow them on Instagram to find their location.

Incredible food. Very creative options. - Edit
Very creative take on the hot dog. So many options in toppings I never thought to use before. I've had three different styles and everyone has been better than the last. I've never been a fan of vegan macaroni and cheese but these guys made it's so good!

So yummy - Edit
For Toledo i am very impressed! But as someone from Chicago, technically the Chicago dog is wrong but it was still delicious 😂! I would definitely eat here again. I wish they had a restaurant location😄

Great Comfort Food! - Edit
Stopped by the food truck because it wasn’t too far away from my house on this day. I got a hot dog with just ketchup and mustard along with a side of cheese fries. Both were fantastic; I cannot recommend it enough. Definitely plan to go back and try one of the custom dogs😄
