My last trip to Roanoke, on official hot dog business, was for the famous
Roanoke Weiner Stand, which was delicious. But I had no idea it was only a few blocks away from one of the coolest looking "Texas" themed hot dog joints in the country. Texas Tavern, also known as
Roanoke's Millionaires Club , has been around since 1930.

There's a handful of hot dog places around the country where you know as soon as you walk in the door that it's the real deal. Some sort of eccentric Coney Island atmosphere meets dive bar.
