The colorful hot dog-centric Weenie Wonder opened a second location last week, this one in Easton, attached to the existing Pins Mechanical Co. The first Weenie Wonder, a Rise Brands concept, opened last year in Dublin’s Bridge Park.
Weenie Wonder offers a modern take on a hot dog joint, offering an easy-to-love menu of classic and creative hot dogs, mac and cheese, tater tots, jojos (potato wedges, for those who didn’t grow up in a region where the term is popular), coleslaw, smoothies and cookies.
Guests line up along the grill to order their hot dogs and sides.
You can create your own or choose from interpretations like Bloody Mary, New York Reuben, Nacho Supreme, Classic Coney, Chi-town or Frito Pie.
The hot dogs quickly pile up in front of you as you make your way down.
I mean, what’s not to love about these? I appreciate hot dogs with guts that are browned on the flat side.
They do justice to the classics like a good Chicago dog.
Weenie Wonder very smartly opens in the huge Pins Mechanical Co./16-Bit Bar + Arcade complex in Easton. It has two levels with multiple spaces.
Guests can walk around the different areas, so you can reserve a lane at Pins, order drinks at the bar, grab hot dogs from Weenie Wonder, play 16-bit games.
There are several bars scattered throughout the space, with additional activities such as table tennis and pétanque courts.
Several rooms include arcade games and 16-bit pinball machines.
And there are fun features scattered throughout, like a giant Lite-Brite where we made Mario!
And for those who want some fresh air, the complex has a covered patio on the second floor with fire pits and games.
Weenie Wonder at Easton is currently open Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
