We had read about Skeeter’s on TA and wanted to try what one person said was the closest thing to WV hot dogs as it gets. They close at 5:30 pm and we arrived at 5:25 pm. They didn’t seem to mind, as we ordered hot dogs to go. Skeeter’s is located in a very old building with old fashioned... More

pletzkeb, Good afternoon. We are excited that you stopped by to compare a Skeeter's "World Famous Hotdog" against a WV hotdog. A WV hotdog is tough competition but we are very found of our Skeeter Dogs! We look forward to you coming back again soon. More

If the hot dogs are world famous, I have absolutely no idea why. I get better hot dogs at Costco and Sam's Club - and they are cheaper. The atmosphere and decor inside the restaurant is truly historic and does take one back in time. Very interesting signs and antiques to look at. The old ice cream freezer still works... More

MargAnneL, Good afternoon. We are glad that you stopped by Skeeter's in Downtown Wytheville, VA to try a Skeeter Dog! We are disappointed that your order wasn't yummy as we work hard to ensure they always are coming off the cooking counter. Skeeter's have served up "Dogs" the same way since 1920, we will see what happened this past Saturday.... More

Suppose to be the best hot dogs around. Went there last year and was not very pleased with them. Don't know whether they were bad ones or what but I have had better cheaper ones that the ones we had that day, family/In-laws say they won't eat there again.

Sam P, Our goal is to serve everyone a great hot dog (or two, three or four!) and are disappointed that this was not the case when you joined us in February of 2012. We hope that you and your family/in-laws will come back to enjoy a "World Famous" Skeeter Dog with us! More

The hot dogs are great and the atmosphere takes you back to the twenties! They serve your hot dogs on napkins and you can pick out a bag of chips and get a "baby Coke". I love it and have been going there for years.

What an offbeat place that serves hot dogs. Been in business for almost a century. Dogs native to VA and served plain, chili, onions, slaw or any way you want. Very tasty if you like hot dogs. Owner is retired military and loving his 2nd career. Give it a whirl.

This is a very old restaurant in downtown Wytheville. Many interesting signs and pictures provide an interesting glimpse of what the restaurant looked like 60 or 70 years ago. We thought that the hot dogs were average, as was the service.

True, the look of this restaurant is quaint with an authentic, old-time lunch counter, however, the smell inside was so revolting that I couldn't stand to stay inside. It smelled like a mixture of gas and something rotting. We got our food to go so we could breathe while eating but the food is as bad as the smell. The... More

I felt like we had taken a step back in time the second we walked through the door. I loved the old Coke decor and other miscellaneous antiques. The old man working behind the counter was friendly and liked to strike up a conversation but the rest of the staff weren't as friendly; not rude, just not friendly. I tried... More
