Wild Dogs

This place was amazing. Last time, I got a chili cheese dog (which was amazing). The homemade chili is made daily. This time, I opted for the Philly cheese steak. It was amazing also. They have numerous different fries to choose from. The service was exceptional like last time. Very friendly, fast service and great food at a comparable price, what more can you ask for?

We are traveling in the area and wanted to find a lunch restaurant with a dog friendly patio. Not only does Wild Dogs have pet friendly seating, it is covered and enclosed. It was very comfortable! They even offer a cut up hot dog for your dog for only$1. All of the food was excellent and the service was perfect. This is a comfortable, welcoming, atmosphere with good prices and great food.

Edit 10/2020... the new building is great. No drop off in service or food quality. Front of house and back of house really love being there and serving their guests. Great food and service are why they are the #2 hot dog shack in the country. Plus bonus pudding cups for the kids. Chicago dog is great. Pastrami dog is fantastic. Chili was flavorful. Onion rings and zucchini fries were also good.

Menu is large with many items other than hotdogs. We had BBQ brisket and it was amazing! Lots of great sides to choose from as well. French fries come in multiple varieties and onion rings are available. We sampled fried Mac-N-Cheese which was very yummy! Small, family owned business run by the sweetest couple! A highlight in Benson!

My dad found this place after visiting Kartchner Caverns. It looks like a converted trailer with an enclosed patio, so somewhat unassuming from the outside. They have a pretty extensive collection of hot dogs and other grill items. After getting a sample of their brisket, though, I had to have their brisket sandwich, which was delicious. The proprietor recommended the onion rings, and they were frankly amazing, and I say this as a non-fan of onion rings--the breading was light and crisp, with just a hint of sweetness. Very friendly atmosphere, good food, really nice owners. Best place to relax after a long trip. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Benson.

All the great reviews are well-deserved! We had the Sonoran dog and the brisket baked potato, both were awesome! My wife was thinking of going for the Chicago dog but after trying a sample of the brisket she changed her mind thanks to the tender and juicy flavor. The Sonoran was piled high with goodness that made it a bit difficult to eat but oh so delicious. What really makes this place a 5 star are the owners. Scott took our order and it felt like we were seeing an old friend. He stopped by our table to chat, topped off the water bottles we brought with us and refilled our cooler with ice. His wife was right there to check in on us and bring us complimentary pudding dessert. It's friendly gestures like that which will keep people coming back.

Virus? What virus? This family-owned restaurant is cleaner than your local hospital. When I arrived for my first-ever visit, they were continually wiping down every surface with disinfectant, including credit cards. They were so thankful that I stopped to eat, and tripped all over themselves to make sure I enjoyed my (totally delicious) meal. They even took 15 minutes out of a busy day to help me with a minor truck problem. This kind of thing is why it's so important to support local businesses -- they are real people who connect with their communities. Thank you!!!
