I have heard about Skins being the best hot dogs, so finally stopped in to try one. The all the way with chili, onions and mustard was probably the best hot dog I have ever put in my mouth. The soft roll really made me happy. Small enough make a great snack but you will probably want more than one. Next time I am in Anderson or Clemson, I will definitely stop in for another hot dog or two.

My yearly pilgrimage for 2014. Yes, it's still a long way to drive for a hot dog. In the past, I found the drive worth it - not today. For whatever reason, the hotdogs didn't taste as good to me. There was no oomph. The hotdogs tasted "clean," but that's not what I'm after in a great chili dog. I ate four hot dogs, all the way, a bag of chips, and a PePsi. I found the taste lacking, and the service was not good either. My waitress was so busy gabbing to the kitchen staff, that I had to motion to the kitchen for reorders. La belle femme waitress received no tip - she didn't deserve one. I still like the rustic atmosphere. The history. The photos. The old mill village. In the fifteen months since my previous visit, I have found hot dogs locally that are as good, and some that are just far superior to Skin's offerings - at half Skin's $1.60 price. For instance, the hot dogs at City Lunch in Lincolnton are every bit as good and they cost $.86. No, that is not a typo. The hot dogs at Black's Grill in Cherryville feature charred hot dogs of better quality. Toasted buns. Creamy white coleslaw. White onions. Meaty chili. They simply taste better.....period. Sam's Hot Dogs, gasp, a chain headquartered in WV, are equally as good, and Sam's offers spicy chili as an option. Sam's is drive-thru only with outdoor seating. I would still drop by if I were passing through the area on a business trip, but I don't believe that the quality of Skin's hotdogs now warrant the lengthy drive. Skin's hot dogs are still better than many, but I don't consider them the quintessential hot dog anymore. What changed? I have no idea.....other than I am a year older and a little more experienced.

Best hot dogs in the world! They are getting a little pricey, so we don't eat them as much as we used to. I also love the chili nachos.

Plain old hot dog. See my posts on diners. They claim to be world famous because people who come to Anderson want to eat the local faire. Frankly, if the president came to Anderson and asked were to eat, I'd be embarrassed to tell him Skins was the best that Anderson has to offer, especially considering I've been to Bens Chili Bowl in DC and that place is the real deal. At this point, I think people rate them so high because they are "supposed to like them". Just because your father or grandfather took you here when you were little and told you they were the best, doesn't mean they are. Food is a lot better now and we have many more options than we did in the 60's & 70's. A lot of people in Anderson will argue this with me but will be wrong, but the chili is not chili. It is just meat with seasoning in it...flavored meat. Speaking of Ben's, now that is Chili. The hotdogs are soggy and dull tasting. They are not gross, they are just not good.

Dogs are limp, soggy, and taste very ordinary. I do not understand the local fascination with this place. No fries. No rings. Have had MUCH better hot dogs from convenience stores.

I am a local and I do not see the reason why anyone would want to go. The hotdogs are limp and soft and the major downfall is you cannot get fries or onion rings only chips. If you want a cheap basic lunch, then go, if not do not bother.

The original location started by the man, myth, and legend Skin Thrasher,a pillar of the dining community during his time, walking in feels like you're back in 1950 Mayberry. I say this because there is a good lunch crowd of city employees like grounds crew and police officers, and a nice little small town cafe ambiance. The neighborhood has went downhill since its prime when there were mills all around, but don't let that fool you. My issue is more with a trend I have seen since the patriarch passed. I think their prices are a little too high and you're basically paying for a name. Now, it's a good hotdog but I know two other places in Anderson that have great hotdogs. One is a buck, and I have ate it next to a Skin's hotdog. They taste identical, but I'll allow the chili is a little better at Skins. The staff is usually very courteous but if you order your hotdogs different (other than all the way) they seem to go in the back and have some sort of laugh or pow wow. I even got questioned as to why I wanted my hotdog a certain way. Just take my money and make my food, ok? Also, some suggestions for the staff as well. Wait until I'm finished eating my hotdog before clearing my table or asking me if I want more. It comes across as rude and even dismissive. I know you're trying to give me good service, but I feel a little rushed. When you're paying $2 almost for a hot dog and nearly 2 bucks for a tiny bag of chips and another $2 for a drink, I think that entitles you to take your time and enjoy your meal. Because of my dine-in experiences I only get take out now. Maybe you should think about having a sale every once in a while, because you've gotten too expensive to serve your base. Keep it up on the nice, hometown atmosphere though. I love the sign that says "Church Language Only," or something to that effect.

I ate my first Skin's hot dog about 40 years ago. I remember Skin Thrasher behind the counter serving hot dogs and a great personality. While some things have changed, the basic science that went in to that hot dog 40 years ago must be still in place since the taste hasn't changed. The two most significant changes for me is the switch from coke products to Pepsi products and the fact you can get cole slaw in a cup. The hot dogs are delicious with chili that is not the dark strong soupy chili you find on most hot dogs. Skins chili is mild and meaty tasting. A little hint on how to order; all the way means mustard, chili and onions but they are willing to make it anyway you want except for the cole slaw, that you must apply yourself.

Awesome dogs! Best I have had yet! Usually eat 2 but had to have 3. Coleslaw is tasty too! Took home a piece of their homemade chocolate pound cake too. Haven't tried it yet but must be good since the lady after me bought 2 pieces...

Real hotdogs made the way we eat them in SC - Skins is a must do if you are in the area
(5)Steven S.
Best hot dog...ever! They are simple, but delicious dogs.
(5)Chris S.
Nice hot dogs! Love their chili and slaw. Ice cold Coke in a bottle. When I lived in Anderson, I had lunch here at least once a week.

My Aunt lives in Anderson and I live in NJ She 1st took me to Skins about 3 years ago. Their hot dogs are out of this world. I got one with chili on it and the chili was so good I had to take some back to her house to eat for dinner!

As someone who is not local, I was unimpressed. Perhaps because I grew up in Michigan with Coney dogs (natural casing beef hotdog with chili, onions and mustard) and the quality was a little step up. Skins isn't bad, it's just not good either. I went twice and haven't been back.

I insist on going to "Skin's" whenever I am at home! It's in the old Mill Area of Anderson. Don't let the neighborhood fool you...these are nice folks that just want to sell you a dawg. I like to sit at the lunch counter and I can say that I've never sat at a table so I don't know what that is like...could be a totally different place. My Skin's is the kind of place, you walk in, they say "what'll ya'ave" and since there isn't much to choose from you say you'll have two chili dawgs with mustard! There are no fancy paper plates...just a piece of pager to cradle the precious cargo from the kitchen to your spot at the counter! After you order said precious cargo materializes in less than 90 seconds...they keep them comin' too if two isn't enough! Now, save room for pound cake, cause if you're polluting yourself with two chili dawgs (or more!) you can damn well eat some pound cake too...you don't get home often! Once you've settled in...enjoy the endless clippings about Skin's, Clemson and the general greatness of a town like Anderson (the first to have electricity in SC!)! Oh and don't forget to watch the endless parade of characters too. This is a fine dining establishment that is good enough for the Mayor, the Sheriff, high caliber judges and important people and every single citizen in between! Lots of great plans have been hatched in a place like Skin's! For me, it's home!
