Recently, we directed your attention (and appetite) over to Chapel Hill to an eatery that serves up the best burgers around, but man (woman and child) cannot live on burgers alone. We need our hot dog cravings tended to on a regular basis. No place in North Carolina gets the kind of accolades this unassuming restaurant in Raleigh brings in. Check it out.

The Roast Grill is located just four blocks from the Capitol building.

You’re sure to feel the love from generations of families that have been coming back for years to satisfy not only a hot dog craving, but a specific craving for a dog from The Roast…

TripAdvisor/Riptor3000 The simple menu, down-home atmosphere and delicious (ketchup-free) dogs are what keep people coming back again and again to the no-frills hot doggery (we just made that word up) — and once you try this place, it’s what will keep you coming back too.

Some people may actually call this place “Hot Weiners” for the iconic Coke and Hot Weiners sign that hangs above the awning on this nostalgic old building in the heart of the city.
