Link Hot Dogs

Fabulous food . Quaint little shop friendly staff! Try the specials! The offer every Saturday for veterans get combo meal for the price of the hotdog!! They have homemade special hot sauce … it is fire!!!

Most enjoyable restaurant we have been while in Marion! Unique and fun hot dogs with great thoughtful toppings. We did two the two spicy ones (small ones) and two of the specialty, which were huge and split them between the two of us. Apple slaw and chili are amazing! 5 overall but 4 stars for service just because at 1:30p there was a rush and it was just one guy, but he was busting his but to get to everyone and get their food!

Holy Cow I did not expect it to be this good!

I'm not big hot dog fan. I like them well enough, but if I'm doing dogs, I'm usually doing it at home, and it's usually gonna be brats.

After several friends insisting I check this place out, I finally decided to give it a shot.

First, it's not just hot dogs. It's mostly hot dogs and some brats, but their special is known to deviate. Also, there sides are bangin, but more about that later.

The first time I went here, the special was a Taco Grilled Cheese.
Yeah, I know, SOUNDS AWESOME! Well guess what, IT IS! It's Taco meat, with red peppers and onions, in a texas toast grilled cheese, with 4 cheeses mind you. Topped off with a beef filled pepper.

I went back the next day, and finally tried a dog. Got what's called the "Marion Dog" (pictured), which is your typical Carolina style hot dog. Chili, slaw, onions. I usually add cheddar cheese as well. I was impressed. I didn't expect a hot dog to taste that good. They have enough variety to please everyone, including vegans.

Now back to the sides. You might've noticed the mac & cheese in my picture. Yeah, this is the good stuff. So many places have "Mac & Cheese", but those places really just have "Mac, in cheese soup," even the fancier, pricier places. HERE, it's MAC & CHEESE buddy! This is how Mac & Cheese is supposed to be.
If you like Mac & Cheese, come here and get you some!

Lastly, the environment. This isn't a large place, but there are some table outside. I love the cozy atmosphere. They've done a great job with the place. It's not "wacky" like many hot dog places try to be. It's actually got a bit of a "down-home" feel, and I love it.

If you're ever in Marion, NC . . . do yourself a favor and stop here!

The hot dogs are amazing! All beef Nathan’s which you can’t go wrong. Just a basic hot dog with regular toppings will blow your mind but the Cubano dog is another great choice for the more adventurous eater. The flavors mix together so well! The pimento cheese Mac and cheese is a good twist and definitely worth a try. We were honeymooning and came in. We are so glad that we did! Don’t miss Link hot dog! Open on Sundays, praise Jesus

Link Hot Dogs is one of my favorite places in Marion. I was just in town for 5 days and ate there 3 times! Friendly staff, delicious food, and great prices. I've had the devil dog, the ghost dog, and the Marion dog and all three were absolute bangers!

Link Hot Dogs has amazing hospitality towards locals and travelers alike and even better food.
I was absolutely shocked at how affordable and tasty they were. I haven't had a veggie hot dog in forever. The hot dog itself was so good I was scared into thinking it maybe real from just how bursting in flavor it was.
Overall, if I'm close to this town again I would definitely stop by got another one of their Honest-to-God doggies.

Perfect place to get a great hot dog! My Reuben dog was excellent, and my husband raved about how much he likes the chili which has a little kick. We'll definitely recommend and definitely be back!

Food was spectacular, and that’s coming from a foodie spoiled by the gastro-pubs, food truck festivals and pop-up restaurants of ABQ/TX/CO/AZ. Very reasonably priced and better than some of the restaurants more west of this area. Links works very hard to make it completely unnecessary to drive to Asheville for good food.

When we agreed to house-sit for a friend and they told us that we had to go to a hot dog joint I thought they might be losing it. Oh boy how wrong I was! They have a hot dog with livermush on it...and I am 100% here for it. The man running the register was friendly and explained the menu to us and then spent some time joking with our small child while we decided what we should order. The hot dogs were perfectly cooked and the toppings were ample. It was the dining highlight of our trip and we will absolutely be going back next time we come through the area.

Phenomenal place to stop if you’re local or out of town like we were. We wanted something quick and tasty without all the fuss. This place sure did deliver on that! Everything was delicious and the staff is as friendly as ever! Such a delight and they have so much to chose from! Would have loved to eat there more! Would 10/10 recommend stopping in to Links!

This place is incredible. I had the special and it was fantastic. If you follow this place you will know good food is getting made everyday.

Out of this world!! Gigantic beef dogs wrapped up in the best bun in believe I've ever ever had. Dont claim your favorite hot dog joint till you try this place.

This was our first stop by this hot dog joint lol and I have to say it was one of the best hot dogs I've had in a very long time, and must say if you like a good chilli dog then you should definitely take the time and stop in and pick up one today....I think you will be glad you did.

The food came out tasty, fresh and quickly. He explained different items on the menu. The food is well worth what you pay! He didn't skimp on anything! They also offer vegetarian options too! Location is right in town. I will refer Links Hotdogs to everyone and will be a returning customer!

Super fun menu of hot dogs. Staff was great! We enjoyed the dogs too!

The atmosphere inside is soooo cool! I love the way the restaurant is decorated and furnished, every time you look around you notice a different eclectic thing. It's great!

The Food!!!! There were four of us today and two of us had eaten here yesterday! Everyone's food was hot, delicious and served very quickly. I had the Bacon, Mac and Cheese dog and it was great! I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to be able to finish it, the portions are perfect! Usually my wife and I will steal a bite of each others when we go somewhere new but, we were so busy eating our food, the idea of trying the others didn't even cross either of our minds.

The service is awesome. As soon as the food was ready it was brought to our table. Most everything is self serve but it's well stocked and everything you could need is there and ready.

What a great shop with a really great and imaginative menu. So happy we finally got here!!!

Great place to eat. Tried the Marion dog combo today and it was so good! You get a hot dog with mustard, chilli, coleslaw and onions. You also get baked beans, coleslaw, chips and a drink with the combo. The combo was only $5.49, and it's a lot of food, too! The service was awesome! Will definitely be going back!

I had been wanting to try this place for months. It did not disappoint. Delicious!

Great food and service. The staff was very personable, we will definitely be back The pimento mac and cheese was awesome

One of the few places in Marion that is open after 2:30pm. It's nice to be able to stop in at 3 or 4 for a late lunch/ early dinner. They always have excellent food with a creative menu. They specialize in Nathan's hot dogs but also make burgers. Very reasonably priced, open till 7pm, 11-4 on Sundays, very relaxed and friendly.
