What People Are Saying About Original Hot Dog Shops Inc

In Short – The selection of fast foods here is about as broad as the number of nicknames this place has. "The O," "The Dirty O," "The Original" all accurately describe this local favorite. There are two specialty items of note: hot dogs and french fries. The dogs and beef sausages are moderately spicy. French fries are delightful--cooked twice in vegetable oil, they're creamy on the inside and crisp on the outside.

Great Unhealthy Foods at a shaky area

My first time at "O" I was behind a person that order a small order of fries.(I did not know it at the time) I said give me the large also. It was enough to feed an army. It is a unique setting in Pittsburgh. Located very close to Pitt and if you want to bring the family then be sure it is day light hours. It is The Dirty "O" and it is Original and Dirty to say the least. If you like Hot Dogs and hustle and bustle of city life then this is the place for you. Hot Dogs are the best and only Primanti Brothers is more Pittsburgh then The Dirty "O". You have to experience it for yourself!
- Pros: It is what it is! The name Dirty "O" says it all!
- Cons: Parking and undesirable hanging out and working there!

disgusting food, disgusting place
by elm48 at Citysearch
this place is terrible. it's famous and beloved by some people for being so terrible, a place that works great when you're drunk and it's 1:00 in the morning since then you'll have no expectations.
simply put, the food is terrible. it's either greasy or flat out generic. the clientelle includes plenty of drunk people one of whom assailed us when we went there. horrible place, won't ever go there again.
- Pros: if you want to clog your arteries with greasy food
- Cons: food, atmosphere
