Tony Packo’s: With several locations in the state, you are never too far from this interesting hot dog joint. Just some of its décor includes autographed “hot dog buns” (made of Styrofoam) on the walls.

The Root Beer Stand: Located in Cincinnati, this seasonal spot has been around since 1957. And it keeps with that old-fashioned theme and charm.
