Larry's Dog House is definitely one of my favorite places to go eat questionable meats in phallic form for a very reasonable price. I feel as if its one of the most over looked eating establishments in Athens and its right under your nose. Oddly enough, its located a few seconds past Lucky Dog on West Union Street, so you should definitely check it out the next time you make a liquor run.
They have a pretty standard menu full of things that make me proud to be an American; foot-long chili dogs, hamburgers, fries, fish, chicken in its many forms, hand-spun milk shakes, and even pork tenderloin. I have never ordered anything besides the foot-longs and fries but I would assume that it is all just as satisfying.
The thing I really like about Larry's is that I feel out of place when I go there. The crowd there consists mostly of locals and there's always tons of little kids and old people there. It definitely has a very down home, mom and pop kind of feel to it. Every Wednesday is Weenie Wednesday where you can get a hotdog for 99 cents. What a deal.

Adam!
Have you tried O'Bettys? I have to be honest...I've never tried Larry's Dog House and I've for sure made a couple disparaging comments when I drive past about the said establishment. However, I may have to try it to at least say I have.

Adam,
Although I have never eaten a hotdog at Larry's Dog House but I did get a butterscotch shake there and it was one of the best things I have ever consumed in my life. I totally agree with you about the location too, its far away from the shenanigans of Court Street so it's more local and less visible on the Athens food radar. Same deal with Miller's Chicken.
