Inlow’s Drive In

HUGE ASS HOT DOGS + GREAT TOPPINGS + ALL YOU CAN EAT OPTION + FRIENDLY STAFF = Return customer.
Stopped here with some buds being in the area for business. Had driven past and saw footlong dogs. I mean a sign that reads that is like putting up a sign that says «Would you like $ 10,000?» Of course– where do I sign?
We sat at the counter and the women, seeing we were first timers– got us going. So many ‘yins’ being called and telling us their recommendations. It was huge. I ordered the dog with chili and Cole slaw. Yeah I’m a fat ass– so what wanna fight about it?
I can’t say it was a gourmet this or that, definitely a diner feel and cafeteria feel but it’s great and a very low cost high return investment for your stomach.
They also have other items on the menu like sandwiches and ice cream. Stop in — they get you going.

No what I remembered as a kid. Twice in three months, it’s lost its appeal. The food isn’t what it used to be. I joked yo friends that I’m a great cook myself, I should apply for a business loan and buy the restaurant.

My favorite place to visit when im up at my familys place in duncansville i go the during buck week great prices and quick good food

Pretty neat lil place. Posting lot crazy to get in and out of. Food was served quickly and the staff was very personable. Has an encounter with a rude customer but I guess that’s anywhere.
Ordered a for long hot dog with «sauce», mustard, onions & cheese. It was darn good. And the coffee milk shake took it over the top!!! Thick and tasty!

Great foot-​long hotdogs!

AWFUL!!!
Ordered footlong (split with cheese but did not receive it the way I ordered) with chili (they need to find another name for that because what they served is NOT chili – it had absolutely NO flavor, with brown mustard and onion. Fried cheese balls, didn’t eat them because they were so bad. Took one sip of the weird fake colored blueberry shake. Hamburger was nasty. Total waste of time and money. One of worst meal experiences I’ve had and we travel all over the country and I am a «foodie» and love trying new food and restaurants… This was one of the worst. They wouldn’t let me post this without rating it… didn’t want to even give it 1 star.

The Pizza Dog, and the blueberry milk shakes are awesome. The breakfast is also pretty good. We were sitting by the window the one time we came (September 2013), and there was a severe thunderstorm. The storm spun up a «Gustnado» in the field across the street, when it hit Inlow’s, the window shook violently… Fortunately it didn’t break. There are so many milkshake flavors to choose from, but the blueberry is my favorite.

Inlow’s is a blast from the past. Old diner style joint serving 12 inch hot dogs, and a lot of other foods as well. The prices at Inlow’s are great. for less than 5 bucks you can get a foot long hot dog with your choice of toppings, fries, and another side. I love these roadside novelty restaurants, and I love them even more when they are actually really good! One thing to keep in mind is that Inlow’s is cash only.

12-​inches is a lot of hotdog.
This was yet another instance where I am blaming myself for ordering wrong. I know you are probably thinking, «What kind of moron can order wrong at a foot long hotdog joint?» It’s funny because I was just thinking, «What kind of moron would continue to read this review?»
Inlow’s had all the signs of a winner. It was an old time restaurant, specializing in an archaic delicacy, and despite looking frayed around the edges, it had a parking lot full of cars.
So I bravely ventured forth, and took a seat at the counter. And it’s exactly the kind of place you would expect. Seasoned waitresses, a big man behind the grill, and a whole bunch of regulars sitting around reading their papers.
It turns out there are a lot of choices, but I’ve had great luck ordering dogs with «the works.» As the works vary from town to town, it should generally lead you to the best regional variety of the hotdog. In Chicago it gives you the full salad on the wiener and in Detroit it gives you chili, onions and mustard.
In Duncansville «the works» was ketchup, mustard, onion and relish. And I demurred. Ketchup on a hotdog wasn’t going to fly, so I substituted my old standby: mustard, sauerkraut, onions and relish.
And it was fine. It was just a lot of dog.
But as I sat there at the counter, eating bite, after bite, after never-​ending bite of my tube steak, I noticed something. A great proportion of people were getting their dog split in two and filled with cheese. This could not have been an accident.
And when the memory of just how fiendishly large a foot long hotdog finally fades, I intend to make it back to Inlow’s and do this thing right. Apparently, that’s split and with cheese.
But I could be wrong. I’ve certainly been wrong before.
