We didn't see any signs of a museum, 7/19. So we had a hot dog. They are unique and rather expensive. But they are real Red Hots with a little heat and spicy/flavorful. Looks like a popular college hot spot. They really need to revive the museum.

The museum is closed for renovation -- no set date for reopen yet. Hot dog and fries were awesome!
[Sue Kelly, 05/03/2019]Hot dogs all have burlesque dancers' names, very unique. Fries very delicious too. When in Athens, Ohio make this a stop.

Garlic French fries are fries with raw chopped garlic on top, very good! Interesting varieties of hot dog and interesting pictures on the wall.
[John Mansfield, 10/26/2012]Inside the "smallest building in Uptown Athens" -- O'Betty's Red Hot! Dogs and Sausages. The best part is that you can enjoy a world-class hot dog or sausage while looking at the exhibits in the museum.
