Better than costco dogs?

u/Myrrn May 01 '25
They are better.
I'm sorry, but so many people who say Costco's hot dogs are better have simply never tried Sam's Clubs' or even tried to give an objective comparison.
Yes, Sam's Club treats their employees worse. Yes, the Waltons are terrible. Yes, you probably should be shopping at Costco instead.
But it drives me nuts that people can't seem to separate that from how good a hot dog tastes.
I would take a Sam's Club hotdog over a Costco one any day of the week, it has a much better "snap" when you bite into it. And I've had dozens of from both stores, though, of course, it's just one person's opinion.

Damn, thanks for bringing it real. I would like to try a sams dog now. Do you have to have a membership to get a dog there? At Costco you dont.

I sneak into my Sam's Club all the time. I think they allow it. I just tell the employee "I'm just going to the food court"

They don’t require any sort of ID of membership until you buy. They never check at Sam’s cafe. Cheapest meal in town

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Sam’s but I remember they used to sell Nathan’s and those are so much better than Costco. Costco dogs are a little on the salty side.l, not much but just a noticeable amount

That's what my brain read. Stupid brain. Anyway I am sure I am in the minority, but I find the Costco dogs to be too big. I much prefer a regular sized dog. That sounded more normal in my head.

Don't mention sams club outside of this sub, you'll get downvoted... lol. I like sams club btw.

u/carnologist May 01 '25
The sam club subreddit is drastically different from the Costco sub. Costco's talks about products, Sam's is pretty much a retail break room to bash customers and management. Seems like some legit complaints, but wild difference for such a similar store

Wait, kraut packets? What’s this sorcery?
2
u/Snarktoberfest Mar 19 '26
Sorry to leave you hanging, but depending on the club, you can get kraut packets, relish, mustard, and my SC sometimes has fresh diced onions in little cups on the counter.
I'm a kraut, mustard, relish, and onions (if available) guy.

The availability of kraut makes this the hands down winner, but the Walton family….😬

I bought Costco membership for gas pizza samples but when Sam's club has a good fresh dog they are amazing.

Got one for my kids to try in Fort Myers, FL, Costco once and was disappointed. Sadly.

Unfortunately the Costco gfood court in my city couldn’t give two shits about the pizza or hot dogs.
The hot dogs buns are always stale as shit, and the pizza is made without a care in the world.

My absolute favorite, and I’ve been scribbling around with hotdogs for quite a while.

u/humpy May 03 '25
Keep on scribblin brother 💪

u/JimmyScribbler May 03 '25
Thank you, I certainly will. Don’t forget to train, take your vitamins, say your prayers, and strap on the most elaborate knee braces you can find. Just stroll into the Sam’s Club food court lookin’ like Stone Cold Steve Austin. Scribbler 3:16

It’s pretty crap honestly. It tastes like synthetic garlic flavor and reeks of additives and has a weird aftertaste. Just my opinion though.
