Reviews
Comet Dog – $12.99
Classic all-beef hotdog with chili, cheddar cheese, diced onions
All of the dogs come on a wonderful griddled bread. You can taste the butter. As for the actual hot dog, it’s about the same caliber as Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom, but the toppings are better. The ground beef is good quality. There’s a tiny bit of spice. The crunch of the onion is nice. The cheese is melted just right.

Bulgogi Dog – $13.99
Kimchi slaw, salsa verde, yuzu aioli
Strangely, the rest of these hot dogs aren’t really hot dogs and this difference isn’t stated on the menu. They’re more like sausages and are a little grainy. And while you might expect this sausage to taste like Korean bulgogi, it doesn’t. That said, it’s not bad. It also has a nice spice and the slaw adds a crunch.

Al Pastor – $13.99
Grilled pineapple, pickled red onions, fresh jalapeño, salsa verde, micro cilantro
The pineapple is fresh and crunchy. It’s the dominant element of this dog and it’s a nice refreshing addition. We like the spice of the jalapeño.

Philly Cheesesteak – $13.99
Peppers and onions blend with cheddar cheese sauce
This one was also a sausage and it was a bit dry. But the toppings helped work through that. They made for a delicious combination. It’s not special but it’s a good standard item to offer.

Smoky Carrot Dog (Vegan) – $12.99
Slow roasted glazed carrot with vegan feta and micro cilantro inside an ube bun
This was surprisingly good. It’s obviously not a regular hot dog either, it’s a cooked carrot. And that carrot was amazing. It was smoky and tender. The feta tastes almost real and added a nice tangy flavor. The sweetness of the ube bun worked well with everything but it was unfortunately dry and doughy. That’s what brought our rating down.

Overall
This is a solid hot dog joint for a theme park. We might stop here and grab a dog when we’re in a rush. There’s no plain hot dog on offer, we expect that might be added at some point. But kudos to the food and beverage team for making interesting offerings and trying to elevate dishes instead of just offering regular theme park food.
