It's been there, in one form or another, since l938, and, although a hot dog isn't exactly a culinary event, a 70th anniversary is something to be celebrated.
It has just entered its most recent incarnation with an additional indoor eating area, which almost doubles the previous space.
You place your orders at a counter, and carry them to your table when your number is called, and if you don't mind carrying your tray a bit farther there are some outdoor tables near the river.
The hot dogs are good, slightly crisp ($3, or $4.25 for a foot long), and if you order yours with chili (75 cents extra) the chili will actually taste like real chili, with a decided bite.
The burgers are pretty good, too, ($3.05) and, unlike the olden days, you can now also have a smokie dog, bursting with flavour ($4).
The fries are fresh-cut ($3.89 for a sizeable medium serving), and if you're still up for dessert there's a whole range of ice cream (both hard and soft), as well as something they would never have dreamed of back in '38 -- yogurt.
If you're really lucky you'll see flocks of pelicans frolicking around the locks.
And if not now, soon.
