Dat Dog has just increased their hot dog prices by 25%! Are they nuts?

I don't care how good they are, I'm not paying $7.25 for a hotdog.

I can understand even a 50 cent increase...but $1.25?

Correction to this post. The prices went up 30% to $6.50 and $7.50.

Think all prices include tax now too. Bigger buildings aren't free.

I know bigger buildings aren't free, but I don't feel the cost of that building should be in the form of raising your prices by 25%. And regardless of where they are located, $7.25 is too much for a hot dog.

Its 7.25 for one normal sized hot dog with nothing else?

A regular run of the mill hot dog weiner is $6.50 EACH.

If you get a bigger sausage, like polish or brat, it's $7.50.

That doesn't come with anything.

The fries are (were) $3 for plain, $3.50 for cheese fries. I'm not sure if they raised those.

So for a brat hot dog, cheese fries and a drink, you're looking at almost $15!

It is a pretty high jump, but I'll still eat there on occasion. They are awesome.

It was already pretty overpriced before this. 7.00 is ridiculous

That's plain ridiculous. You can get jumbo Hebrew Nats on sale for $5 for 6.

Damn, I'll still pay it, but that is for just the dog, then you have to buy a bottle coke which is $2.50 and if you want fries I think they are also $2.50.

I like Company Burger's Hot Dog better, but if I am craving Sausage with insane toppings I go to Dat Dog.

Went there the other day and ordered 2 beef dogs and a chili cheese fries. $19

That is a little much for the amount of food, but not enough to stop me from going. I was dissapointed that the food wasn't as good as when it was across the street.

Company Burger aint cheap either, but its getting better each time i go.

I will be interested to see how this plays out from an economic perspective.

Tried to go for lunch on Sunday. They open at noon. Got there at 12:08 and the line was 35-40 deep. Isn't hurting business. Went down the street to Company Burger instead of waiting.
