Original Hot Dog Shops Inc

I was in Oakland last Friday and was wanting lunch. I ended up at The ""O"" ordering a small fries w/ cheese.
Too my delight, I bumped into my old friend Bruce ,(the owner of the O). I told him I ordered the fries and he asked how are they? Let me tell you Bruce.......and the rest of Pittsburgh that YOUR FRENCH FRIES ROCK!!! ....STILL #1, the BEST FRENCH FRIES EVER!!

I'm not really used to being in the city despite living only about 2 hours away. I was talked into going to "The O" by my dad and his girlfriend so I went in not expecting too much. It had the crappiest people working but somehow it added to the charm of the place. Make sure they know exactly what you want cause they don't hold themselves responsible for mess ups. The hot dogs were delicious to say the least. A nice salty flavor with a crunchy casing. The fries were beyond large. The small fed 3 of us. I recommend you bring your own bottle of ketchup unless you want to pay for more. All in all its a place worth visiting once. If you can go when school isn't in so you can avoid the business of the PITT students.

Oh come on, if you come here to use the bathrooms you are really missing the point. And stop worrying about the neighborhood - scared? then go there during the day.

I'm from Cleveland and I think the best dogs are at the "O" even though it's in Pittsburgh. And by the way, I've eaten dogs in Ohio, West Virginia, Pensylvannia, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Washington DC, and Illinois. I've had Chicago Dogs, NY Dirty Water dogs and Nathan's Famous and the famous deep fried dogs in NJ - none can compare to the "O".

I'll be back there in September again - see you there if you have a clue about dogs!
