About the Business

Specialties

Delicious all-american classic hotdogs, frozen custard and unbeatable burgers! Frozen custard is an unbelievable form of ice cream that is popular in the Midwest and on the East Coast. It was invented in Coney Island, NY in 1919. If you ever made your own ice cream at home or ate some of your granny's homemade ice cream, you were probably eating frozen custard. Mike's chili came from an old family recipe created by his Uncle Joe. Not only that, hot dogs and hamburgers are good enough for any average Joe, and Joe Jost's was taken, so Joe Schmoe's it was! All of the menu creations at Joe Schmoe's are favorites of the American palate. Hot dogs, hamburgers and frozen custard have withstood the test of time with familiarity and flavors that are definitely All-American. Our best hotdogs are our "Snap hotdogs" that are all natural beef and natural casing to seal in the flavors and juices! Otherwise, we also have non-casing dogs for everyone's preference!

History

Established in 2013.

Nick and Mike's Hot Dog Adventure Mastering the classic American hot dog proved to be research intensive! Seeking to learn from the established wiener-masters, Nick and Mike began sampling hot dog stands around the country. They traveled across Southern and Northern California and eventually made their way to Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and even Florida in search of inspiration for a quality hot dog they could serve at a reasonable price. The partners chose to serve the popular natural casing dog, which creates a "snap" when you bite into it.

Business Owner

Shortly after Nick Harris sold his previous restaurant of 30 years in 2007, he and his friend Mike Richards, the owner of Gourmet Pie for 26 years, decided to embark on a new food adventure. Having operated heavily-staffed restaurants, which take 50 to 100 people to run, the partners were inspired by the simplicity of a hot dog stand and the idea for Joe Schmoe's was born.
