This Iconic Arkansas Hot Dog Diner Is Part Of American History And Still Slinging World Famous Coney Dogs

Fun fact, Arkansas created cheese dogs in 1956. Did you know that? This means that we know a little bit about hot dogs, if I may say so myself. So, it’s no surprise that Dog N Suds, a 1950s-style restaurant in Paragould, has survived the test of time. This iconic Arkansas drive-in has been slinging world famous coney dogs since the 1970s and we recommend visiting to experience this piece of American history for yourself.

Though it has changed hands over the years, Dog 'N Suds in Paragould has remained a staple in Arkansas' as well as American history.

For over 50 years, this old fashion chain has been slinging some of the best hot dogs that money can buy.

With its midwestern roots, the first restaurant opened in 1953 in Champaign, Illinois, and the chain quickly became one of the most popular franchises in the country.

Today, there are less than 20 restaurants nationwide, with the Paragould shop being the most southern location of them all.

Featuring its iconic red and yellow sign as well as the classic drive-in intercom system, not much has changed with this vintage eatery since it first opened...

...down to the motto, "where everything's so dog-gone good."

In fact, you can still get a classic coney dog or chili dog made with the same secret recipes as it was 50 years ago.

Of course, you can top your coney dog with cheese, onions, mustard, relish, and more. Mix and match the fixins to your heart’s desires.

Personally, I like to keep my hotdog as simple as possible, topped with chili and onions. You can't go wrong with that combination.

No trip to Dog 'N Suds is complete without getting the creamy, world-famous root beer in a frosty mug. It's another of their signature items that has made this restaurant a memorable experience.

Other menu items include burgers, sandwiches, chicken platters, salads, ice cream, and more. You can also find Salvadorian cuisine on the menu, which is unique to this location.
