    Thanks for stopping by! We use Smithfield hotdogs (since 1960 formerly John Morrel hotdogs until they were bought out) we make all of our chili in house as well. Your video made our day. Thanks a bunch - The Lee family!

You should come back some time for the Mermaid Show and springs boat ride. You found some Americana though that makes us a little unique. I was in Orlando lol when you were filming in Spring Hill. Glad you found Coney Island tasty. We frequent there. And the owner owns several Florida native foods (southern cooking) restaurants in the area as well.
