Can you be a West Virginian and not like hot dogs? It’s possible, of course, but, at least in our experience, it’s definitely not probable. Thankfully, when it comes to tracking down a good, West Virginia-style hot dog, there are plenty of great options around the state, including Mr. Diggity in Vienna.
No visit to the town of Vienna in Wood County, West Virginia is complete without one crucial stop. In fact, some locals claim it should be the first stop any passer-by to the area should make.
What is this must-visit spot? An unassuming hot-dog stand perched along Grand Central Avenue that's been a beloved community staple for the last quarter-century - Mr. Diggity.
At Mr. Diggity, you'll find exactly what you might expect - hot dogs, including foot-long ones with dozens of topping options - plus several things you might not. Would you be surprised to know that some of the state's best lobster bisque is concocted in Mr. Diggity's kitchen?
Here's another thing that sets Mr. Diggity apart from other run-of-the-mill hot dog stands. Look at the size of the menu! And you can see exactly how big some of the portion sizes will be.
Ready for one final surprise? In addition to hot dogs, and lobster bisque, you can even find a small gift shop featuring hand-made items to complement any decor.
