Obetty’s Red Hot is a very unique experience. The restaurant is a decorated in a rather strange fashion. The tables feature local advertisements atop a leopard pattern tablecloth and all underneath a layer of glass at the top. The walls are filled with photos of old movie stars from the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s, mostly women. In addition, the windows feature leopard curtains, as well, which match the tables and some of the bar décor and the booths which also contain the same leopard pattern. Moreover, the frequent use of the colors red and white, along with the repeated leopard pattern, give the establishment a western, tex-mex feel.
The main attraction at Obetty’s, much more so than the restaurant’s décor, is their food. They offer an array of interesting combinations of toppings for their delicious hot dogs, which are said to pop once bitten into. The toppings include diced onions, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, coleslaw, chili, numerous seasonings and many more. Their hot dog is definitely one of the better ones that I have tasted in my days. They are unique and their combinations of toppings make for a hot dog unlike any other that I am aware exists. In addition to hot dogs, Obetty’s Red Hot also offers French fries, which are to die for, especially in the late hours of the night. The fries are available regular, with melted cheddar cheese, or with cheddar cheese and chili. The cheese fries are probably my favorite Obetty’s menu item; however, sometimes the cheese is not melted, which completely throws off the whole taste of the, usually delicious, fries.
All in all, Obetty’s is the perfect place for an unhealthy, yet scrumptious, late night meal or a nice lunch. Their food, which is unique and original, has become a tradition to all those who attend Ohio University and covet interesting cuisine around the Athens area.
