Snoopy’s Hot Dogs & More (N.C. State)

This Snoopy’s Hot Dogs & More sits on Hillsborough Street, between the N.C. State campus and Meredith College, which makes it a convenient stop for students at either school. It serves the chain’s hot dogs and burgers along with daily specials.

Everything is made to order, so you can ask for your food the way you want it. The operation is a straightforward counter grill, and it has been part of eating in Raleigh since the first Snoopy’s opened in 1978. The chain has grown to five locations since then.
