Family-owned for 37 years, the small, old-timey joint is now run by brothers David and Joe Arbetter, who insist that the chili used on their dogs be made fresh every day, that the buns be pillow-soft, and that the ambiance stay unpretentious. Simple snacks such as the "All Around" (mustard, onions, and relish) are the brothers' forte, and prices are recession-worthy at $2 to $3.05 per sausage. Inside, the place is a throwback to the shakes-at-the-parlor days when the term veggie dog would have just confused folks. Large sweaty cooks call out orders. Lunchroom dining means grabbing a seat at the counter. And cash is the only way to pay.
Garbage...hotdogs were undercooked, chili was bland and the fries sucked! How can u mess up fries? The coke was cold. It's nostalgic but the food came back up in the parking lot before we left. Let them clean up that mess! Checker's is garbage and has better dogs (but don't go...I'm just saying).
This is awesome comfort food! I have to say though, I think the best hotdogs in Miami is Dogma. They are obviously a little more costly, but they are delicious.
Sorry guys, but Arbetter's USED to be greatest hot dog in Miami. The old man is gone and so is most of the charm and good eats.
