Mel's Hot Dogs

Mel’s Hot Dogs is a true comfort zone for celiacs craving classic American fare, thanks to its dedicated gluten-free facility and a staff that genuinely gets it—especially if you’ve ever felt that nervous flutter before ordering. The fluffy, steamed gluten-free buns are the real deal here, and the fries come from a separate fryer, so you can actually exhale and enjoy every crispy bite. They don’t just swap buns; they treat gluten-free needs with visible care, changing gloves and using separate trays when needed. Honestly, finding a spot where you don’t have to grill the staff about cross-contamination—and where your hot dog doesn’t fall apart—is something worth celebrating.
