🌭 The rave reviews are rolling in... and so are the orders.

Our lunch rush was awesome, and everyone is saying the same thing... The Dog is BACK. 🙌

We're down to just under 100 hot dogs left, and once they're gone, they're gone.

We'll be serving them ALL DAY until we sell out, so if you've been thinking about stopping by after work (or grabbing a late lunch), here’s your sign.

Thank you Y-Yard Auto & Truck, Inc for the pictures!

TODAY’S THE DAY 🌭

For one day only, The Dog is back at Wheat Penny in honor of National Hot Dog Day.

Over 10 years ago, Michael started a food cart called The Dog & today we’re bringing it back!

Starting TODAY at 12 PM, we’re serving these $10 hot dog + chip combos until we sell out (and we expect they will).

Just head downstairs to Wheat Penny, order at the bar, and enjoy it dine-in or carry out.

Lunch plans? We just made them for you. 🌭🔥

🌭 TOMORROW’S THE DAY

For ONE DAY ONLY, we're bringing back The Dog in honor of National Hot Dog Day…a throwback to the hot dogs Michael used to serve years ago.

We're even opening at NOON (just for tomorrow!) so you've got the perfect lunch plans. Dine in or carry out, and yes... kids are welcome too.

See you tomorrow! 🙌🏼

The weekend's over, the work week's in full swing... and if you're looking for a reason to get out of the house (or escape this heat), consider this your sign.

And while you're here...

- $2.50 domestics all July
- Happy Hour from 3–5 PM
- 50% OFF food and cocktails.

Seriously... name a better Happy Hour. We'll wait. 😉

We're open until 9 PM tonight. See you downstairs!

Before there was Wheat Penny... there was “THE DOG”.

And for ONE DAY ONLY, we're bringing it back!

Over 10 years ago, before Wheat Penny ever existed, Michael had a hot dog cart that became a local favorite. People still ask him about those hot dogs... so we figured National Hot Dog Day was the perfect excuse to bring them back.

🌭 Wednesday, July 15
🕛 Starting at 12 PM
📍 Wheat Penny

We'll be serving 150 Chicago-style hot dogs on pretzel buns with chips from lunch until we sell out.

Grab one for your lunch break, meet friends for dinner, or swing by and take one to go.

Dine in or carry out; just come in and order.

And here’s a fun little GIVEAWAY 🎉

We're giving 10 people a FREE hot dog on Wednesday!

See you Wednesday. ❤️🌭

NEW SATURDAY HOURS 🍸

Starting today, we're officially opening at 3PM on Saturdays! It keeps our hours consistent throughout the week and gives our team a little more time to get everything ready for a great night.

Last night was so much fun. Seeing so many new faces come in to try the Summer Menu made all the work worth it. 🙌🏼

And you guys have been making one thing very clear...

🌴 The Jamaican Jerk Sliders are already becoming a fan favorite.

If you haven't checked out the new menu yet, today's the perfect excuse.

Doors open at 3 PM. See you tonight.
