I have had many a hot dog from this vendor and the price is very competitive with other vendors in the area. Great customer service and quick service. This vendor always maintains a clean and neat food cart. I always see that the vendor has taken care to properly store and dispense food in a sanitary and clean manner. I would recommend this vendor as a quality supplier of fast food for a very reasonable price. Debbie's Dog House food cart can be found most days along Ramona Boulevard, just east of Lane Avenue, in Jacksonville, Florida. The cart is usually present from about 10:00 am to about 3:30 pm, daily.
